Not as good as the other Selina’s in Latin America but still good. Quiet, food expensive but overall nice hotel with friendly staff. However local children do come in to use the pool so that area is not quiet.

Comfortable rooms and lots of amenities on-premise. Slightly far from the bus stop for airport or for other places in Costa Rica (but still walk-able), but close to the National Museum and it's not like there's many other things to see in San Jose.

It was my first time actually staying in a Hostel, I was actually very happy to be Selina my first, it was a chill place so don’t expect much party, food and drinks in the restaurant were great, I didn’t use the community kitchen or fridge so can’t really comment on that, Staff was very friendly and welcome, coming solo to La fortuna Selina made it great a great experience.

Incredibly good private rooms for a hostel and great value compared to the other town centre alternatives. For us, it felt like a hotel as we were keeping ourselves to ourselves at the beginning of the trip. Selina noted it was our honeymoon and decorated the bed with flowers which was really appreciated the night before transferring to Tortuguero. We also stayed two days in a premium room prior to staying at Tabacon for one night and returning back. The previous Selina booking was via another booking provider and the more premium room was one of our favourites in Costa Rica as it had a balcony, was spacious and had a huge smart tv! Breakfast options were limited but were good. One can sit at high tables that overlook the small river to the rear of the property. Wear insect repellent in the earlier hours as insects were a little energetic. You can watch leaf cutter ants decent the tree, birds fishing and even otters play in the water. The reception staff could have been slightly more enthusiastic and knowledgeable of the local area :) Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend staying her to anymore.

Very happy with how spacious and clean the Selina was! Staff were very friendly and welcoming. It's right in the middle of town so everything is walking distance and they have a lot of organized tours available. Would stay again!

Welcoming and chilled
Really well set up. Gorgeous pool and open kitchen for hanging out. Staff are super friendly and helpful. I hadn’t stayed in a hostel in over 10 years, so was unsure about what a dorm would be like. No worries - totally chilled. To any other solo travelers in their mid-30s - this place is fab.

Nice property but felt they lack to execute on VIP Benefits commitments. They tried to pull off the welcome drink as their 2 drink commitment — After discussion manager agreed but this should have never been the case. I did not get credit for the previous night when they failed to tell me about my free drinks. Also when asked about room upgrade as part of VIP membership they told me they would look into it and never executed. Lastly the room was to have daily cleaning (service) and this was never done. Overall very disappointing!

Selina’s in La Fortuna is amazing! I had a single room with a great view of Arenal Volcano. I slept like a baby in the comfortable bed! My only tiny issue was how dark the lighting in the bathroom was. Overall I had a fantastic time and made new friends!
