This quaint hotel was the perfect stop for our two day stay. Centrally located to the local shops and restaurants. The staff were very friendly and available for any questions or needs that you may have.

The place is located close to the beach and restaurants. We loved our stay here being able to do some work in between hikes and sunbathing. Friendly staff and people from all over the world stayed there so it was a good vibe.

Hotel Aurora was wonderful. The reception was friendly, welcoming and clean. The shared kitchen is well equipped and kept nice and tidy by the guests and staff. The beds were comfortable and clean. The room had a mini fridge and coffee maker. The location is probably the best part as it's right on the corner when you get into little Montezuma. Walking distance to all the shops, restaurants, bars and two nice beaches. I will be staying there again.

Hotel Aurora was perfect for my short stay (one night) in Montezuma. I was solo backpacking through Costa Rica and stopped here in route to Jaco Beach (via taxi-boat that departed from the beach in walking distance from hotel). Montezuma is a great small town with incredible beaches and good vibes!

This hotel was built in 1989 and definitely has it's own charm despite the rust. Montezuma is a hidden gem along the Nicoya coast.

Nice simple place to stay. Security guard at night was a bit overbearing but also made us feel safe. I would stay here again

Nous avons eu un check-in déplaisant. La réceptionniste Angela nous mettait de la pression pour donner notre numéro de carte de crédit, lorsque c'était clairement inscrit dans le courriel de confirmation de ne pas donner cette information pour notre sécurité. Elle nous a menacé d'annuler notre réservation. La salle de bain et la cuisine commune étaient très sales. Notre chambre était située sous l'escalier à côté de la cuisine. C'était assez bruyant et sombre. Il y a plusieurs belles chambres à l'étage avec des hamacs. Nous n'avions pas d'espace dédié à notre chambre, mais les autres vacanciers nous ont permis de s'y détendre et c'était très agréable. L'hotel est très bien situé dans Montezuma. Le réceptionniste Alex est très sympathique.

Start every day with a smile, was the sign at the entrance. They really give everything a personal touch. My room was very clean and big enough for myself. I enjoyed my stay in Montezuma. The beaches are at close distance and also the restaurants.

Easy access to everything Montezuma has to offer. Clean room, recycling on property, mini fridge in room was a nice bonus and the outside hammocks were so relaxing!

Aunque el hotel estaba muy bien ubicado y el personal fue muy amable y atento, las habitaciones estaban muy sucias y con humedad. Teníamos muchos bichos en la habitación, que en otros alojamientos de mismo y precio y condiciones no nos pasó. El agua de la ducha era fría y aunque no habíamos pedido aire acondicionado, el ventilador no funcionaba

The staff charged me twice for my room which was extremely dirty. The doors and windows did not lock well and there was garbage under the beds and very dirty floors and utilities. I would never stay here again.
