黑斯特日斯住宿加早餐旅館(Historias Lodge)

The room is large and that’s about the one good thing about it. The area is VERY WET AND HUMID so the room smells like mold. There probably is an issue with termites as I kept finding wooden-like material on my pillow. There’s a flat screen tv in the room, a small fridge and what seems like a vent but it’d be more useful to actually have somewhere to hang clothes. There’s no daily cleaning service and towels are forever wet as they don’t dry because of the humidity. We didn’t find the room to be particularly clean when we arrived. Positive notes: a friendly cat on the premises and nice staff. No breakfast is served. The hotel is out of the center and a bit of a walk (up and down a steep hill).

Staff very friendly and the room and area on the property are very beautiful.

The place was very clean and bug free which is the best. Check in and out was super smooth and the staff was amazing and super helpful and understanding.

The lodge itself is beautiful with gorgeous flowers and vines growing up its side where hummingbirds and toucanets sometimes visit. The property is simple, not much for common areas or pools, but that's fine if you're in the area for the local sites more than hanging out at the lodge. Our room was very spacious but dark (good for sleeping though). We had a small water leak but the staff was very responsive about it. The lodge is at the top of a steep hill so keep that in mind when deciding whether to walk back from town or take a cab. There are restaurants, a bakery, and a convenience store also at the top of the hill so you don't always need to worry about it.

Nice hotel very close to the centre of Santa Elena. The room was spacious, clean and there is a very green garden. Friendly owner.

Room had a musty smell. Couldn't figure out the source. Maybe someone urinated on the mattress or we were close to sewage. Room to the door was open when the front desk person showed it to us so I'm sure they knew it smelled but probably didn't have a choice. So maybe other people had clean rooms and their experiences were valid. Ours were not and our experience is also valid. So just adding this data point for you to make your choice.

I’m a bit confused having read other reviews because I’m sure there was no breakfast included here when we stayed. In fact we had to walk down the road to a small café to buy breakfast. Notwithstanding that, it’s a nice little place and an easy walk to town…..but not so easy on the way back. A taxi really is the way to return and you are definitely advised to bring rain gear.

Friendly desk staff, clean rooms comfortable beds with warm covers as it is chilly overnight in November. Quiet area. Hot shower. Room fan, no a/c. Has a refrigerator in the room. Hotel has a gathering area with sofa, dining table. Walk 15 mins downhill to town

Historias lodge provided an amazing experience and stay for us. A family run lodge which is so welcoming and makes you feel at home. The breakfast is really good and includes coffee juice toast eggs plantain rice beans and fruit. The rooms are really clean and comfortable beds, shower water pressure is really good as well. 0 complaints, if you’re in Monteverde, this is a great place to stay.
