My parents and sisters ended up at Hotel Cipreses based on a recommendation from the staff at the Monteverde Welcome Center. Upon arriving, the front desk clerk Jose Arturo was SUPER helpful, kind and accommodating! He even asked the breakfast staff to get up early (6:40am!) and cook us breakfast, which again, was DELICIOUS (eggs, plantains, beans and rice, pancakes)! Our room was very spacious and clean. The price of the room was VERY reasonable. The wi-fi was strong--great for Facetimeing and Skype! I would recommend this place to any traveler.

We stayed here for 2 night a part of a tour. The Room was spacious and clean. Unfortunately there was a tile missing from the window in the bathroom and one in the room so it was quite cold and the fact that it was very windy outside didn't help. The staff was very nice and helpful. Nice breakfast for 7$.

We stayed 2 nights as part of a G Adventures Tour. Large room. Quiet other than howling of wind at night. A bit of a walk to town (uphill coming back). Breakfast were not cheap ($7), didn't include any meat, and they charged our tour guide for 3 breakfasts we apparently didn't eat. (Overcharging and bad exchange rates seem to be common in Costa Rica.) Nice scenery..

The Hotel Cypress was a somewhat disappointing stop on our tour of Costa Rica. The rooms were small and had a rustic charm about them, which was nice. They also had a television, computers in a common area, breakfast, and set up towels into animals for you each morning. The hotel will only provide you with one key, but if you leave it in your room, will quickly get the master key to unlock your door. The hotel was located near the main road, which happens to be rather steep.

The walls are thin, so noise caries through quite easily. The television is in a rather high spot, so you may not be able to reach it. Also, our room had a hole in the wall. Ants were coming through the hole.
