10/10 Exceptional

Great spot to rest San Jose

Cute location that had everything we needed. Rooms were clean, shower was hot, and it was a short walking distances to nice restaurants. Staff was helpful and friendly. We met a traveler from Europe who comes to Costa Rica a lot and this is the only place she stays! Note that the parking spot isn't very big if you have a rental car.

Heart of the town

What an amazing place! And the history! Will be back Lord willing!

Great experience! Fabulous hospitality!

I had a fantastic 1 night stay at Alajuela City Hotel & Guest House! The hospitality and customer service was unmatched from the second I walked up the stairs. I felt very at home and was so impressed that they had my made-to-order breakfast ready for me before my early am departure. Definitely recommend for a stay near SJO.

Nice quaint hotel in alajuela

This hotel is quaint and lovely right by the Central Park in alajuela. There are several restaurants but not a ton. To see and do in the are. The staff were amazing and breakfast was very good. We had a superior room so our own bathroom and a/c.

8/10 Very good

Good place, Good service

Pros: clean, good service, good breakfast, good location, comfortable. Cons: no safe in my room (although I never felt my stuff were in any danger) but still, room 7 overlooks breakfast courtyard area which is also used for relaxing by guests, makes it a bit tough to sleep in.

10/10 Exceptional

Quaint hotel in the heart of Alajuela

It's always a pleasure staying there. Smaller rooms, some have shared bathrooms, but the building is nice and well maintained. I think it's the staff that make the stay exceptional though; friendly, helpful service and always available to make your stay safe and comfortable. Be sure to have breakfast there if you can.
James, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great option for a Costa Rican small hotel near the airport. Restaurants and shopping nearby and very friendly service from the desk manager. Also a very early breakfast was served for us as we had an early flight.

Clean, Helpful Staff

The hotel is the best place to stay upon arriving from the airport at night. Breakfast was delicious. The staff was helpful with directions and recommendations. There's no free parking, but you can park behind the block for a fee. There's restaurants within the block.

A very comfortable hotel in walking distance to numerous restaurants, Mercado, and bus station. Friendly, helpful staff. Excellent breakfast.

10/10 Exceptional

This lovely family run vintage hotel is just minutes from the airport by taxi. The staff are super friendly and helpful, eager to provide any service they can. It is like staying with friends. Don’t expect air con, you won’t need it anyway, do expect a delightful breakfast, delicious coffee, comfortable beds, and smiles and courtesy from everyone who works there.

It was a historic landmark. The landscape was beautiful.
Ann, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Cozy, homely place w/ helpful staff! Our flight was very delayed and we didn't arrive until 3 am, and were very happy to get in, as it seemed we had to wake up the receptionist (so sorry!). The place is quite intimate, so be mindful that you need to be considerate of other guests. Comfortable beds, nice breakfast area in the small backyard. Nb! There was only one shower and two toilets (placed very close to the restaurant/breakfast area, wich is not super private). But quiet and convenient distance from San José airport.
