This is my favorite spot in Costa Rica. Gorgeous views, great hosts, everything is close by. This is a must stop for anyone travelling to Costa Rica and especially if you are travelling to the mountains/jungle.

Amazing and Beautiful Place to Stay

no screens on the windows and no air conditioning.  Rooms are stagnant without having fresh air.  Open the windows and be inundated with crawling bugs, flying bugs and reptiles galore!   We tried to check out twice and were lied to and coerced to "try it for a night."   The next day we were told we could not cancel our 3 day reservation because we stayed the night so it was obviously ok.  Manager plays "no english" unless she want so share one of her stories.  I feel owners are not costa ricans because ticos are generally very good people.  Bad place!!  We left after the first night and forfeited our prepayment of 3 nights but we found so many better places!    ps -  your bed is literally like 10 feet from the main road.

Pics are great -  Reality is a different story  BAD service from owner and manager

We stayed here for the second time with a group and always have a spectacular time! Nidia, Danilo, and the staff treat you like family. They truly go above and beyond for all of their guests. The place is clean and cozy with THE most breathtaking views, wildlife, and delicious Breakfast. Perfect for couples time, family trips, or adventures with friend!! We always look forward to our next trip to Monteverde to stay at Hotel Las Orquideas.

AMAZING!!!

MONKEYS n COATIS are present daily or every other!  The staff is ready to great you with a fresh cook breakfast every morning.  Just a 10 minute WALK from downtown with amazing landscape scenario all around you.

MONTE-AWESOME

I stayed here for two nights with group of ten. I highly recommend this place if you are traveling with a group or just looking for a place to experience local wildlife.  The view from the back deck is incredible. The staff treats you like family. Breakfast is made fresh each morning. I loved feeding the monkeys and coati that live in the trees near the patio. This place is  close to all the tourist activities and is only about 5 minutes from the town square. Staff took care of laundry & cleaned rooms. I felt our whole group was safe & secure during our stay here because you get keys for your room as well as the front door to the building. Doña Nidia was the best host. There are lots of jungle excursions, horse back riding, zip lines, night tours nearby. The hosts at the orchid hotel can translate English and Spanish and is happy to help you get set up with anything you need in the area. Our group will cherish this experience for a lifetime. Did I mention that the view is incredible too?

Great location & 5 star service

We’ve stayed here twice & we will continue to stay here every time we visit Monteverde because it is the best hotel in town! It’s family owned & operated & definitely makes you feel like you’re part of the family while you’re there! Spacious room, excellent service, hand cooked breakfast cooked right in front of you every morning, AND THE ABSOLUTE BEST VIEW! Go out to the back of the hotel & you can see monkeys and coatis literally a foot or 2 away from you! & There’s also a lookout platform where you can see miles of mountains and the waterfalls! Absolutely stunning!

Best place to stay in Monteverde!

This is not my first time to stay here, so I knew to call ahead and let them know we had a large group coming to visit Monteverde. Like always they told us about the best places for us to go around town and for our adventures. Nidia, the wife, owner, the receptionist, the Grandmother, took out a map of Costa Rica and gave us a great insight into the rest of our travels that really help us to avoid some of the bad areas and maneuver the roads easier. Her husband, Dan the man, helped us in so many ways.. He also has a farm that he took our group to visit one day. They cooked us a wonderful meal, had horses and an atv to drive. It was the most peaceful experience of my trip. They now have cabin built there that I am going to try to rent from them on a future solo trip. It is the perfect set up for a couple people to do yoga and really get in touch with nature. 

The ladies back at the bed and breakfast that cooked for us and cleaned our rooms were amazing!! Elizabeth has been working for Dan and Nidia for 16 years and is great at her job.. They cooked us pancakes, bacon and eggs. Always the best fresh fruit. But the coffee.. They grow it and it’s in my opinion the best cup I drink in CostaRica and that’s saying a lot because there is great coffee everywhere, but this team has it down the best that I’ve seen of getting it from a plant to my tastebuds.. 

If you are coming anywhere near here... Stay Here!!  You won’t be disappointed.. Let them know the things you’re interested in and they will help you have a wonderful experience.

This place was the best decision we made on our entire Costa Rica trip

A very Charming and Friendly hotel.  Beautiful views out the back of waterfalls, forest and the town of Monte Verde.  Pizote’s and white face monkeys come for breakfast.  Great for many photo ops!!  Nidia and Danilo are Wonderful hosts!  The breakfast is included and is a Delicious Costa Rican style!!  We highly recommend this unique hotel.  

Vacation 

Our first night in Costa Rica was spent at this delightful hotel, and what a great first experience we had.!  Nidia, the owner and front desk person could not have been nicer! As my husband said " It was like staying at our favorite aunt's house for a couple of days.  We were treated like "family" from everyone which is always really nice when you are in a new country and you are not familiar with.  The room was perfect, in the back, large, and very quiet.  There was a balcony that ran the back of the property that overlooked a beautiful ravine with an observation deck.  In the morning white faced monkeys and coati mundis would come visit as the kitchen staff would generously offer them some fresh fruit for a morning treat.  It was so special to be so close to the animals in such a kind and friendly manner.  And we loved the breakfasts....they were home made from scratch each morning instead of the commercial style buffets served at many of the larger hotels.  The bathroom was great, the bed super comfortable and the friendship of Nidia will always be remembered.  We LOVED our stay.  Pura Vida indeed!

What a wonderful hotel and what a great staff!  We Loved it!

We spent our 1st 2 nights in CR at Las Orquideas while exploring the Monte Verde Cloud Forest. There was a group of 10 of us traveling & Nidia was ready for us when we arrived.  She immediately went to work to help us coordinate our transportation and activities for the next day. Breakfast is prepared freshly each morning for each person - no mediocre buffet food here! The hotel has beautiful views & it's walking distance to the shops & restaurants in St Elena. Our room (#14) was beautiful, clean & modern. There is a fun little bar right next to the hotel called Pura Vida which was also a great place! This hotel far surpassed it's price & star rating. We would definitely stay here again!
