Great location & staff. AC was $25 a day extra. Save 13 per cent by paying cash either dollars or colones. Very close to everything & no climbing. Front desk very helpful & speak reasonable English. Staff always cleaning & upkeep ing property. Good security as 24 hour on duty staff
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.
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!
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.
I always find the Aurora to be a fine little place to stay right in the middle of Montezuma....not fancy...but clean...good hot water...AND AC!!!....not a little thing in Montezuma....and a very rudimentary communal kitchen can make for a very economical stay....and great for cooking the fish you catch
stay away from the rooms that face the street....very loud, very early

AC is great
We stayed after changing our reservation from a different hotel with no AC. The AC is great. The room is in need of some updating. The beds are hard. I went to the bathroom at 2am only have a cockroach run out at me! The location is very central in Montezuma.

Good location, good wifi, helpful staff!
It was 94 degrees the day I was there. My room had excellent air conditioner to cool off!
Beautiful quaint artist and chill community. Two beautiful beaches, fairly safe ocean swimming. Average age of locals and visitors, 30. Excellent hostile, lots of hikers. Loved my stay, going back asap for longer stay!
Worst location ever and Hot water and AC not free!
Worst location ever. Hotel is located at the cross roads at the entrance of the town beach. So we heard noisy cars, bikes and ATV all day and night long.
On top of that, hot water and AC is additional fee .... that felt like a rip off and a way for the hotel to make a few dollars more on top of the reservation. And we stayed in the suite, which tell us how low the standard of the hotel really is. Will never come back, even for free !
Close to the beach and in the centre of town, but loud parties in the town were heard every night from the hotel. The beds were also VERY solid. But overall one of the cheaper options in town and with a private bathroom!

Room, but no extras...
They had just put Epoxy on the stone wall in the Bathroom. It smelled awful and we could barely sleep, not mentionning how bad this is for our health...
The lady who checked me in was friendly and information. Great location. They could use some restoration but then again, it was cheap.

Booking wasn't honored
Booking wasn't honored on arrival, certainly a big problem during high season. At first desk clerk seemed not to care. With mention of tripadvisor, she directed us to another very low budget but clean hotel. Aurora's lobby looked nice and it was well situated.
