Loved this place. Room with bath was very nice. The grounds were beautiful. The location is perfect to visit Monteverde Park and is directly across from the Park headquarters. The restaurant was outstanding. Everything was great!

Driving up to the property on the mountain roads may not be everybody's cup of tea, but I absolutely loved it. Once there the staff was welcoming, property, unique, and beautiful, and the things to do in and around the property are very worthwhile.

This property is also called the lodge that is right across the street from the parking for the cloudy mist Forest. If you are going to the forest this is an excellence place to spend the night the night before that way you have easy access in the morning. Get breakfast is also excellent and advisable to add to your room for the night stay.

An ideal place to visit the Cloud Forest

I stayed for 3 nights at Selina and my experience was wonderful! The hotel had a lovely, clean room and the hotel grounds were lush, beautiful and green. Getting around by foot is a bit difficult given how remote the hotel is but you are across the street from a shuttle that can take you directly to the cloud forest, the hotel has a transit stop outside of it and the hotel can provide you with a reliable, safe ride share option. There is also a restaurant on site where you can get very good food conveniently. Hotel staff can also help you book tours in Monteverde. We took the Night Walk Tour and it was so fun!

Disliked: Cleanliness
Unfortunately the room wasn’t well cleaned. Underwear on the bathroom floor. Head board was stained and very dusty so we covered it with a towel. The hostel was really nice but our room needed some attention.

Hostel Selina is a cute spot way up in the mountains with a great common area, hot tubs, a library/reading space, kitchen and yoga studio. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would certainly return our next trip here!

Quite hostel in beautiful surroundings

Parking for Monteverde cloud forest is right in front of the hotel. Hotel is deep inside with no convenience stores in walkable distance. Hotels.com had incorrect location listed which made us go in circles to find the place. We used yoga room for yoga. They have kitchen. Road the hotel is terrible with many potholes. Driving in rain was terrible experience specifically when you are coming for the first time and have incorrect directions.

Great stay, but cold and a bit isolated

I stayed in the 6 person dorms, and the rooms were very cold. Feeling like a constant draft. It might be the time of year, but Monteverde was very cold. The hostel arranged trips that was comparable to the price if you had to do them yourself and you could sign up the evening before for most of them. The food was fine, but the hostel is far away from the city, and the last bus leaves around 4 pm from the city Santa Elena (where the grocery shops and restaurants are). This makes it difficult unless you want to walk for 50-60 minutes.

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.
