San Bosco Inn was a perfect base for our La Fortuna adventures. Clean and safe - the views of Arenal were incredible! Breakfast was delicious and plentiful. Loved being able to go to sister property Volcano Lodge to soak in the hot springs.

Clean room. Mostly quiet. Volcano Lodge thermal springs being included was great (a shuttle may have also been included but we drove). Breakfast was mediocre with soupy scrambled eggs but pineapple was the best thing. Pool area was nice.

Great location, easy walk to many restaurants. Close to all the main attractions, La Fortuna Waterfalls, rope swing, hot springs, hikes etc. The property is well-maintained, breakfast was tasty, lots of fresh fruit. Didn’t use the pool but it was very well kept.

Loved my stay here. Ultra friendly staff, good selection available for breakfast (and it started early enough so I could still get some before heading out on tours), a nice pool area, and easy walking access to all of the bars and restaurants etc. The room itself wasn’t massive but it had everything I needed and was perfectly comfortable.From memory, I got one of the cheaper options at the time, so I wasn’t exactly expecting a palace anyway. My one very tiny complaint would be the magnetic door card, which I needed to get reset about 4 times during my stay, but the staff at least never got irritated when I went to ask.

Room was clean, had a safe, pool was a good size, breakfast included was good and the free entrance to the hot springs at their sister hotel Volcano Lodge was a nice plus. Front desk and breakfast staff were quite lovely, we enjoyed our stay. I'm a light sleeper so I was awaken when someone was checking out around 6am but my room was next to the entrance so theres that! We would stay again :) close proximity to everything was great.
