My experience at Hotel Uran was truly wonderful. The people running the hotel were incredibly gracious, making me feel at home right away. The location is perfect for anyone aiming to hike Cerro Chirripo, with comfy beds and a nice restaurant serving delicious meals to fuel your adventures. However, the location can get a bit noisy in the early hours as climbers head out, and the humid climate led to a slight odor in the rooms initially. Overall, it was a functional and clean place to stay.

I've had a great experience at this hotel, especially for anyone looking to hike Chirripo. It’s clean and the owner goes above and beyond to help with everything from logistics to meals. The price is excellent for what's included, but be prepared for some noise when student groups arrive and early mornings. Overall, a solid choice for hikers, but it might not be the most luxurious option.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel, which is perfectly located just a stone's throw from the Chirripo trailhead. The service was lovely, with welcoming staff who really knew how to help with the logistics of our hike. My only complaint is that the rooms had a bit of an odor due to the humidity, but it faded quickly once we settled in. Breakfast was hearty and served early, which was perfect for our pre-hike meal.

If you're gearing up to hike Cerro Chirripó, this hotel offers a lot of practical amenities and a great atmosphere for meeting fellow hikers. The location is unbeatable, just steps from the park entrance, and the views are stunning. However, the rooms could use better attention to cleanliness, as I encountered issues with the bedding. Overall, it's a decent choice for the price, especially for those preparing for an adventure.
