Beautiful location, stunning mountain views and the clouds just roll on in to your balcony. Walking distance to some cool places and restaurants. They have a good shuttle service to the forest. Only feedback is some of the staffs attitudes, 2 of the employees were helpful, friendly and kind. The rest seemed snobby and almost judgemental. Could've been 5 stars if it weren't for that. We were WELL AWARE of our checkout time, yet walked by the front desk and stated we are going to pack. 5 minutes later they ring the hotel phone to remind us to hurry and get out.

We stayed 3 nights and it was wonderful. The room was clean, and had great views. The site has its own walking trail where you can spot birds and other animals. A decent walk to town but was it was doable.

We liked the big veranda and the comfortable chairs that overlooked the property and hills. The room was dated and very standard. The step-down to the little patio is a way for some people to twist their ankle if they are not careful. Some neighborhood youth used the area behind our area to practice riding their loud motorcycles.

Great bungalow hotel
This is a very nice, bungalow style hotel on a hill with a great view. We were greeted by a woman who was very friendly, spoke excellent English and were immediately checked in our room. It was available and clean. It had a great view, a nice little three-quarter of a mile trail off of one of the parking areas into the jungle and down to their lagoon. Breakfast was very good, it was a great stay. My only downside is it didn’t have air-conditioning, but there was a nice breeze when you open the door and the window.

Great customer service.
We weren't able to stay for our booked nights but we've been grateful for the manager as I was sent on an ambulance on emergency medical situation in Monteverde. Instead of checking in, we went straight to the nearest clinic due to severe pain and was sent on an ambulance to a hospital in San Jose. The manager has been understanding to refund us the money. We would have loved to stay there but due to unforeseen circumstance, we were unable to even see the place. I'm really thankful for the staff/manager for being understanding. If we get to come back to Costa Rica, I'll sure will stay there and recommend this place. Thank you.

I visited Monteverde as a single birder, not for the shopping, dining, or tours, but to find birds I can't see in the US. The desk receptionist went out of her way to find me a private bird guide at a very busy time for the guides. They even coordinated taking me for coffee before we went into the cloud forest since none would be available that early in the morning at the hotel. My room was clean, quiet, and very comfortable for a good night's sleep to be up before the birds! :)

Hotel Montana is located up in the mountains in Monteverde. There are a couple of restaurants which are in close walking distance, and it is possible to walk downtown but it’s quite the hill to come back up (but doable). The rooms were a little dated but clean. We stayed in the back building which had a nice view. They do keep all the lights on outside the rooms at night which means there are thousands of bugs outside the room when you return - which if you are not a bug lover it’s very intimidating. Every time we would open our door at nights many bugs would flock into the room. We also had a cockroach in our room found on one of the beds; but The hotel staff were kind enough to pull out the beds and check around and said they would spray the room for us. There is also no AC in the room which I found a little surprising - we were lucky enough to not encounter too much warm weather so it was not an issue.

We arrived late after escaping the AirBnB from hell - Expedia indicated they were open until 1130p - but they were closed. HOWEVER, the night security guard let us in and called a manager who acknowledged our last-minute online reservation and gave us keys to our rooms with no hassle. Everything was clean, bright, and felt safe. The rooms are large and we had gorgeous balconies with breathtaking views. This morning they saved breakfast for us because we arrived so late and had sympathy for our plight the night before. Breakfast was lovely and fresh, and Tito the dog was a polite companion. Thank you to everyone. You saved our trip! -Samantha, Katie, and Ryan

The location of the property is very good, it's not close to the downtown area but it has several places to eat nearby, it's also very close, walking distance, to the favorite spot to watch the sunset and also close to the Ficus Root bridge. The free breakfast is a buffet with various options like Gallo Pinto, eggs, bacon, pancakes, bread, fresh fruit, tasty and more than enough to start the day. The inner road to access the rooms on the back could be better maintained.

Terrible Hotel
This place is a dump. What you see in the pictures is not what you get. I was shocked that there two long hairs in my bed as soon as picked up the cover. There were ants everywhere in the room. Breakfast was awful. They brig you a few pieces of fruit and I asked for more fruit because I am vegetarian and don’t eat any other food they had but they said they don’t have extra. Our rom was behind the building with no view. The door knob was almost impossible to open from inside. I stayed in Costa Rica for 10 days and loved everyplace I stayed and this hotel was the worst.

Mountain bliss in Monteverde
The hotel has the most amazing views and the staff go above and beyond to help you and are so friendly. Well located for trips, restaurants etc. We originally booked last minute as decided to travel a day earlier and ended up cancelling our pre-booked accommodation and extending our stay despite already paying for the other hotel... Lovely grounds and made to order breakfast. Hotel has so much character and a great little bar. Best service so far throughout our trip. Check in was also really easy & front of desk staff are great.

Great stay!
The hotel and staff was great and very helpful! Amazing views and walking distance to the town (though a big climb to come back). The only downside was the wi-fi only works in the common areas, not in the rooms. Not critical since we weren’t in the room much, but a little misleading.

Amazing views but no room wifi
Loved this hotel and it’s an amazing place for someone that can’t afford to stay at the local resorts, but also doesn’t want to stay at a hostel. My only complaint is that the rooms do not have wifi and it is not ADA friendly since there is a pretty steep hill to get to reception from the rooms. Overall great place and the staff is friendly and attentive!
