Reception lady must have had a bad day. She didn’t want to help us. Told us to wait for a coworker. Then 10 minutes later finally took us to our room herself. Later that night was annoyed when we had questions about the property. Felt singled out by her because we are not young like most other guests at this property. Restaurant staff was great!!! Neat property

A good option
Very convenient if you want to visit the cloud forest. Unfortunately it’s far from the town and restaurants so unless you’re driving your only choice is their own restaurant, which thankfully is pretty decent. Good space for parking and nice comfortable room, it’s a shame they don’t really clean them. Hair all over the bathroom and filthy floor.

The place had a cool look and feel but you could tell that the place is old. The receptionists were nice and helped with everything. It is far from the center though, so would recommend a car to get around.

Pura Vida!
Very convenient location! 15min walking distance to the cloud forest. Staff very friendly. Restaurant is very convenient for a quick bite. They offer a wide viriety of tours. Recommend the Kinkajou night tour, Cafe Monteverde (They have an amazing affogato!) The roads are very bad to get to the hotel.

DO NOT RECOMMEND!
I do not recommend this hotel at all. Shower sucked! Water was either boiling hot or very cold. Everyone in my group spent entire shower trying to manipulate the darn water temperature. Also, that semi-blond girl at the check in desk had a serious attitude. We had a wonderful 5 days in Costa Rica until we checked into this hotel. Every Costa Rican we’ve met had been nice until her. This hotel also nickels and dimes you. We booked 2 rooms for 2 nights each non-refundable (it’s a scam. NEVER buy non-refundable! Not worth it!). We had to forfeit first night which is fine because it’s our fault our plans changed. However, all we asked was for a 1 hour courtesy late checkout. Nope. They wanted another $15. She made it sound like she had so many guests the next day. When we checked out at 7 am (couldn’t wait to leave God awful place), we saw at least 2 rooms completely empty. Moral of the story, pay more and stay somewhere else. Not worth trying ti save $$ staying here. Here’s the last thing nobody tells anyone. The road up to the hotel is horrendous. You need a 4 x 4. The only silver lining in all this are the beautiful sounds of the variety of birds in the morning to greet you in the morning. That made up for everything. Yes, this hotel is close to Monteverde Clouds but so are many others. They are not the only game in town. DO NOT RECOMMEND. SPEND $$ ELSEWHERE.

Easy walk to Biological Reserve and very friendly staff. Willfully negligent in providing amenities. For examples, one shared wash cloth, not hand towel at sink; no toilet paper dispenser; furniture by an inexperienced handiman; swept but very dirty floors; limited parking; etc. Also while convenient to Reserve, it was not at all convenient to town.

This Selina is very close to the Monteverde Cloud Forest, so that’s definitely and advantage. The actual property is very nice, with access to gardens and green areas. It’s pretty quiet and relaxing place. My only concern in the use of light bulbs through the open spaces around the property which may interfere with the animals’ normal habitat outside at night.
