Nice place to stay. The loft room did not have hot water.
It was a good stay. They provided transportation to cloud forest and Manuel Antonio. Clean property with basics. Lots of eating places and coffee stores walkable.
Comfortable large room. The only downside was the shower water was not hot. Family that owns the hotel was very nice and helpful. Town was less than 15 minutes walking but very steep climb back to the lodge.
Miguel made Historias Lodge a wonderful place to stay.
I was travelling on my own. I wanted a private room but not pay too much as I would be spending a lot of time site seeing. So, I chose Historias Lodge.
My room didn’t have a balcony or area to sit outside. I envied the others but this is to necessary. The basic and very clean room served the purpose quite well.
Miguel greeted me with a friendly smile and Hola. He was so lovely and made sure I had everything I needed. He arranged tours for me, but didn’t pressure me to do anything I didn’t want to. He was such a spark of sunshine. He even arranged for his nephew to drive me to the bank.
The Lodge was close to the local bus stop to get to the Cloud Forest and there was a bakery and restaurants around the corner.
I would recommend it for a solo traveller like me.
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 staff was nice and the location was good but the wall is thin so we could hear every thing from the next room. No fan or AC so it was quite hot during the day.
We had a great stay at Historias Lodge. We loved the feel of the accommodation. Miguel was very friendly and helpful and the room was spacious and comfortable.
I had a very pleasant 3-day stay at the Historias Lodge. I was able to walk anywhere I needed to go. Nice restaurants, cafes, and a supermarket minutes away. The staff was extremely welcoming and helpful. I would absolutely stay here again.
Historias was the best choice I could've ever hoped for on a solo trip and on a budget. It was a great place to work in the mornings and then later walk through the town and explore. Miguel and Luis were the best hosts I could've asked for as well! They were friendly, helpful, and made sure that I felt right at home. Highly recommend if you want something peaceful!
Lodge type hotel. Miguel the owner/manager is very friendly and helpful…arranged my visit to the cloud forest, arranged my transport to LaFortuna, he made everything easy. Breakfast is fine. Room & bed comfortable. Good water pressure. Good location.
