We were wowed by the beautiful grounds and the very clean, dark wood paneled rooms, even when arriving in a rain storm. My kids loved the dogs, the gardens, the many interesting guests we were with, and the Swiss/European cuisine at the restaurant (ask for the Swiss apple juice . . . worth the bumpy drive up the mountain!). It's... More

We stayed at the Swiss Miramontes for three nights. The hotel is located very conveniently between the Santa Elena and Monteverde Reserves. We stayed in a standard room, which was basic but adequately equipped, but a little dark and dingy. It smelled weird, too, we never figured out where the smell came from. The more expensive chalets in the garden... More

I would not recommend this hotel. The owners were not friendly. Half way through our stay we transferred to another hotel in the area and were delighted the the cleanliness and beauty of new hotel for the same price that we had paid at the Swiss Hotel Miramontes. They said that they had wifi but it was only available in... More

My husband and I traveled to Costa Rica for 2 weeks to celebrate our honeymoon. During our 3 days in Monteverde we decided to stop at this Inn to check for vacancy. We were so pleased to find out they had several rooms available. We stayed in #7, which was a small "chalet" duplex situated up a small hill. The... More

Can't ask for much more from a B&B. The owners, Walter and his wife, went out of their way to provide my friends and I exceptional service. They made us food after the kitchen had closed, organised the zip lining excursion for us and provided us with some of the cutest B&B rooms I have seen (Swizz style furnishings were... More

We'd been travelling all day and had our fair share of nerve rattling encounters on the Costa Rican roads. We pull into the Swiss Hotel and are greeted by Walter and his wife, two of the warmest, friendliest B&B proprieters around. The kitchen was closed and the cook had left, but that didn't stop them from going out back to... More

I am not quite sure why the other reviews are so negative. We had a great experience. First off, we didn't have reservations but needed to stop driving around 7-7:30pm because it was dark and the road to Monteverde was rough driving! We stopped in and asked for a room. The couple that ran the place welcomed us and asked... More

We needed a place to stay while visisting the Monteverde Rain Forest and this was close and an inexpensive place to stay. The room was dark and had very old furnishings. Really needed a good cleaning and a fresh touch added to the furnishings. We stayed in room #6 and if you must stay there room # 1 up front... More

Rooms were basic, no a/c, our room was quite humid, and smelt mouldy. The beds were old, and the pillows were even older, they were so lumpy, I might have as well been sleeping on rocks. The shower was big though and it was nice and hot. Not the greatest breakfast though. If you stay here you probably need a... More

Rooms had no windows that would open, no fans, and no AC. Therefore, they were hot and humid, and nothing could be done except to stay out as much as possible. The restrauntant was the same. The Innkeepers were not quite rude, but certainly not welcoming. Again, avoid this place! Dave Rickles More
