The San Bosco Hotel is a 3 star hotel located in downtown La Fortuna, Arenal, in Costa Rica. Hotel San Bosco is a great choice for people travelling to Arenal who do not have an automobile, and don’t want to take cabs into town to crab a bite to eat, whcih they would have to do if they were staying on a site closer to the volcano.

Of course, the principle reason people come to Arenal is to see the amazing Arenal volcano. One of the downsides to staying at Hotel San Bosco in Arenal is that you do not have a view of the volcano from your room. You can catch a peak of the volcano from the pool area, but it is not the same as other hotels in the area such as Montana de Fuego or Volcano Lodge. Another plus of this hotel is that it is one of the most affordable options that still includes air conditioning and cable t.v.

If you are travelling during peak season, there is a good chance this hotel will still have space as they do not market their property very well. Hotel San Bosco in Arenal has 34 rooms, each room includes air conditioning, cable TV and hot water. Some highlights of this hotel include a swimming pool, two hot tubs (with actual hot water which is rare in Costa Rica), a tour desk and free internet (wireless available).
