Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We had an incredible time at Regina Hotel. The staff was incredibly responsive and helpful. We got in super late at night and they were able to still greet us and check us in. There was free breakfast every morning - nothing fancy, but enough to fuel us before we set off. The room was clean. The shower is a bit delicate -- it only gets hot if you have the water barely on, but it does get hot! We found that this was how other hotels in Costa Rica worked, too. The A/C worked great. We didn't hear the night club across the street at all, but we were also there on weekdays. Our room faced away from the street and we thought it was pretty quiet. Right on the main road in La Fortuna. Would definitely recommend!

The location of this is great and considering it's so close to the main road the room was pretty quiet. This is a perfect place on a budget that isn't top rowdy. There are hostels and bars all around and at first we were worried it would be loud. Apart from a few motorcycles it was quiet. The AC was great and the staff was so kind and accommodating. This was a great place to stay if you're looking for something budget friendly in La Fortuna.

Nice hotel, just what I was looking for, quiet, clean, nice people, nice facility, in-line hot water, so you never run out, good wifi. Right in the middle of the action, close to bars, restaurants, attractions. Nice view of the volcano from upstairs.

Pros - good location in town; walking distance to restaurants, shops & town center; budget hotel but it’s kept clean; parking included Con - night club next door made it quite noisy but we were tired after the day’s activities so could fall asleep

This hotel suited our needs very well. It is small, in a busy area, but very clean, and the staff was very accommodating. It reminds me of many small hotels in Europe. Basic accommodations at a good price. Beds were comfy. the room was big and had a view of the volcano. A/C was working. Due to covid, there was no servicing of the room during the day, but that was okay with us. One thing...I would like a better feeling when it came to room security. There was only a lock in the doorknob, which I didn't feel absolutely secure about.

The hotel is in good downtown location, close to the bus station, supermarket and restaurants. Good value for money. There is road noise as other reviewers pointed out. But I still gave it top mark because of Rocio’s service. She is super nice. We missed our flight and didn’t get to La Fortuna for the first night. The booking was non-cancellable. But she kindly moved it to a later date for us to minimize our trip delay damage. She gave us good advice on booking tours as she had been to many of them herself. We booked a zip-line tour with discount through her and was able to enjoy the waterfall as well on the same trip! On our last day, she gave us a ride to the Campesino Farm Tour and did the translation for us. We fully enjoyed this nature and cultural tour as well. Thanks Rocio! We will stay here again next time we are in La Fortuna.

Booked 4 nights, We loved it so much we changed our plans and stayed for 5. Everything was great, beds were super comfy. Unlimited hot water, in room safe, fridge, and AC that blew cold when needed. Only negative was road noise, but it is pretty hard to get away from that anywhere in the downtown area. Plans are in place to rectify, but in the meantime ear plugs are available if you are a light sleeper The place is very clean. No coffee maker in the room but it is available every morning by 7am in the lobby. Rocio, the lady who runs the place is an absolute joy to be around,and goes out of her way to make your stay as enjoyable as possible. She will give you honest advise on tours and only recommends things that she has actually done herself, and with pictures to show what it was actually like. Zero pressure to book anything. It was our anniversary one day and Rocio even had our room decorated when we returned from our tour. Wouldn't look elsewhere if we return.

We did not stay overnight here, but we talked to Rocío at the front desk to book an activity once...and proceeded to return every day. :) She is the best at suggesting activities, transport, and food in La Fortuna!

I loved my stay in La Fortuna at Regina Hotel! It is centrally located and Rocio was so helpful. She gave me so many tips on what to do in La Fortuna and even gave me tips on what to do in my next location, Monteverde. She even got me into Tabacon Hot Springs even when it was sold out! I highly recommend this hotel!
