This property is also called the lodge that is right across the street from the parking for the cloudy mist Forest. If you are going to the forest this is an excellence place to spend the night the night before that way you have easy access in the morning. Get breakfast is also excellent and advisable to add to your room for the night stay.

Hostel Selina is a cute spot way up in the mountains with a great common area, hot tubs, a library/reading space, kitchen and yoga studio. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would certainly return our next trip here!

Liked: Staff & service
Check in area & dining/common areas are great. Staff is awesome. Restaurant food & drinks were great. Room was dingy, musty, & cramped. We were in a private 4 person room. 2 huge useless chairs took up 1/4 of the room. Should replace with table/space for luggage. Could use a fresh coat of paint too. Small coffee/tea maker would be a lovely addition. It was not a space you would want to relax in. Really just shelter for $200/night. Common kitchen is disgusting & Not stocked for meal prep. I get that it’s a hostel but for the price expected more.

The place had a cool look and feel but you could tell that the place is old. The receptionists were nice and helped with everything. It is far from the center though, so would recommend a car to get around.

Beautiful & moist
The room stayed wet the entire time. The towels stayed wet, the floor stayed wet, our beds were wet and the windows had loads of moisture on them. One shower and your room is very wet. A fan would be very helpful. Limited bathroom storage and hangars. The walls are thin and the doors are 1-2cm above the ground, which allows noise and bugs in.

I had a great time at the Selina and everyone was very friendly! I didn’t know what time I’d arrive so I didn’t book any activities, but the front desk guy let me know what was still available and arranged it all for me! They have an excellent restaurant on the property which was great for me with no rental car. There were also nice places to just hang out and play pool or read a book with the sounds of nature around you. I had one of the private rooms and loved everything about it!

Very convenient location! 15min walking distance to the cloud forest. Staff very friendly. Restaurant is very convenient for a quick bite. They offer a wide viriety of tours. Recommend the Kinkajou night tour, Cafe Monteverde (They have an amazing affogato!) The roads are very bad to get to the hotel.

This Selina is very close to the Monteverde Cloud Forest, so that’s definitely and advantage. The actual property is very nice, with access to gardens and green areas. It’s pretty quiet and relaxing place. My only concern in the use of light bulbs through the open spaces around the property which may interfere with the animals’ normal habitat outside at night.
