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.

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!

Comfortable but not clean
Great location, space for parking, comfortable room but pretty noisy and the floor was filthy and sticky. Made the mistake of wiping it with the white bath mat and it really wasn’t white anymore after that. The lighting looked cool but rather dark, which could be improved.

My Personal Experience
Selina was nice, however a little more expensive than I think it was worth. I felt that the staff were a little disorganized. They were very friendly though and I appreciated the help I got with bringing my bags to and from my room! The breakfast was alright, however I think could use a little more flavor! I didn'y use the pool. It was a nice size though and the parties there were fun. I didn'y spend much time on the property during my 3 nights there. I was in a room with my own bathroom. The whole room was nice and a good size. The bed wasn't as comfortable as I would like and the pillows were also not great for my neck! Overall a great place, I just think maybe they should charge a little less for the type of room I booked.
