Easy walk from bus station and supermarkets and shops were close to the hotel.   — Kimberly Torres (2011-05-18) Hostelbookers

The hotel was cheap and very nice. The staff were super friendly and could help you with anything. They offer different tours and activities and the supermarket is just a few blocks away.   — Øivind Sletner (2011-04-15) Hostelbookers

They stay was fantastic. For the price we expected something extremely basic. Hotel Dorothy surpassed everything we expected. Put into perspective, of course this isnt a Hilton...etc. The rooms were a good size, nice and airy. The communal porch area had rocking chairs, a couple of picnic table, wifi and a spectacular view of the volcano. Downstairs there is a communal kitchen. It is a 5 minute walk from the bus station and the hotel is a 2 minute walk from town. Our stuff was safely locked in our rooms and we felt safe walking the little town at any time. they offer laundry services and sell bottled water and soda downstairs. And of course you cant beat the price. They offer excursions at fantastic prices and we were able to book 2 of them for the 3 days we were there. We were also able to book transportation back to San Jose. The staff was so incredible, and thats an understatement. Alejandria was amazing and so helpful! I would recommend this for anyone staying in La Fortuna. Thanks for a great stay Hotel Dorothy!   — Michelle Pudlak (2011-04-13) Hostelbookers

Good price for your private room, tour desk at hand when you needed, nice staff and easygoing. Just outside town soo its not that much nosie   — Mikael Kvist (2011-04-13) Hostelbookers

Great place to book tours, cheaper and good quality. A tour company is based at the hotel which runs volcano and hot spring tours. They were cheaper than other places. Close to town, but on a quiet street. Cheap and pretty comfortable.   — Customer review (2011-03-28) Hostelbookers

Everything...the whole staff, the location, the ambiance, the helpfulness and friendliness of everyone there, and the pretty color of downstairs! Fell in love with the all the people and met several charming fellow travelers that I continued to travel with! Very sorry to leave Dorothy; best hostel experience I've had.
