The location was super easy and communication about an included ride to the airport was lovely and made us feel welcome. The front desk staff were helpful and answered all our questions. The breakfast was ok- turkey cheese sandwiches were nothing to write home about, the fruit was fresh, the coffee was very good. The pool area was quite lovely and private with beautiful succulents. The air conditioner mini split in the room was amazing.

This boutique hotel is a true hidden gem in San Jose! Nestled in lush jungle surroundings, it feels more like a secluded retreat than a city hotel, yet it's conveniently located just 15 minutes from SJO airport. It's the perfect spot for us to conclude a long trip to Costa Rica. Our room is immaculately clean, beautifully decorated, and features wonderfully effective AC and a delightful hot shower. Dining at the on-site restaurant was a highlight, with some of the best food we've tasted in Costa Rica. All staff is incredibly kind and attentive, enhancing our stay with their unique touch. This place is simply unique — a must-experience to truly appreciate its charm!

The area is fun and easy to get around. There are many small stores, but no good supermarkets. TONS of cafes and fast food places, so getting something to eat is easy. I'd go there again, but there's not a ton to do unless you enjoy sitting in parks, which I do.

I only walked around the immediate area of the hotel . I had no need to explore the town as I had a demanding schedule upon arrival and prior to departure . This was just super convenient to the airport.

It’s the best location to stay on your first night,...
It’s the best location to stay on your first night, especially if you arrive in the evening and don’t have an “all inclusive“ vacation booked; and best location for your last night in Costa Rica, due to the proximity to the airport.
Be warned, the red taxis are really expensive and Uber drivers are allowed to drop you off at the airport, but are not allowed to pick you up from the airport. Most places that offer accommodation, also offer a pickup service from the airport. Take it. The closer to the airport, the cheaper they get; prices start at $5 and could get to $35, $40 US dollars , depending on the distance to the airport.
Most rental cars offices are around the airport, so, look for a place to stay not too far away from the airport and one that offers drop off to a rental car office. If not, it’s always an Uber driver available. The closer to the airport, the better, for first and last night stay, because driving in the city could take a veeeeeery long time.
If you have time, walk the streets of Alajuela, people are very friendly and ready to help. Be very careful, the water tranches along the pedestrian walkways, are very deep, and the holes on the uneven pavement are deep as well, but definitely go to the city’s fresh market; it is a very interesting experience. Make sure you calculate well the prices, from corones into dollars, lots of vendors will try to take advantage of you, if you don’t pay attention. You can pay in US dollars everywhere, except for buses (long distance or local buses); the dollar bills must be pristine, one little tear anywhere on the bill, will be refused.
All in all is a nice city full of hustle and bustle, with lots of cars and people, with little parks with amazing trees, lots of perrots, delicious fresh fruits and gelatos

Quite noisy and a bit dirty. People are nice, but food was a disappointment - it was almost impossible to find fresh vegetarian food that hadn’t been processed. Everything was fried in grease and had meat in it.

A horrible crowded traffic-glutted ugly town, which however has a great bookstore - Goodlight books - and a noisy rather grim organic cafe called Chante with really good food and vegan ice cream, but the traffic outside is awful. Rorro's Mexican restaurant was warm-hearted and fun but lots of fried stuff and the veggie tacos were horrible, with rubbery eggplant. The french fries were awful compared to the ones at Chante. My friend found driving in Alajuela a nightmare.
My partner and I stayed here before our early flight from the SJO airport, and it was very convenient for this purpose, as well as cheaper than most hotels around. It's a shared house where you get your own bedroom but share bathrooms and a really nice looking kitchen. You can't walk to the airport, it's not that close, but Ubers were easy to get at around 6am and took about 10 min. We had late check in and early check out, and cleared this with the host beforehand, who were nothing but helpful.
Our flight landed just after midnight. The accommodation gave us excellent directions. They told us to take an Orange official taxi , the cost and distance to the hotel. It cost 7$. Would be cheaper if paid in CRC. The taxi driver waited until the hotel door was unlocked and we were able to go in. Quiet hotel. Comfortable bed. Good cooking facilities. Nice seating area.
Banks in town. Claro shop to buy a sim.
Breakfast in cafe opposite good.
Great location in the heart of downtown Alajuela. Friendly staff, albeit slow check-in process. That said, a great spot for an overnight before or after a flight. Certainly, one of the best options in Alajuela (going on 14 years of living in Costa Rica and flying in/out of SJO regularly) that isn't absurdly priced like a $200 Holiday Inn. Included transport to the airport and breakfast are a huge bonus for this price!
We really like this cozy, clean and peaceful hotel. It felt like we were at home. Comfortable bed, good place to store clothes. Large balcony with flowers. Green garden is the best place for yoga). The owner is very kind and helpful. You can also fill your bottle with drinking water from the cooler. Eco friendly place)
The boutique hotel was really cool, like nothing I experienced before. The guests and staff were super interesting to chat with in the courtyard. There is a dog that works at the front desk who greets everyone with a new bow in her hair everyday. Right in the middle of Alajuela.
Close to the airport. Comfy beds. Decent breakfast. Didn't try the pool so can't comment. Great if you need a night near the airport. Restaurant in hotel with limited menu. Denny's a matter of steps away, not the best meal we've had in Costa Rica but certainly the most expensive!
It was perfect for what we needed. We needed a simple, cheap, comfortable, clean hotel to stay in for one night, near the airport. The staff were some of the loveliest, most welcoming and helpful hotel staff I’ve encountered. Couldn’t have asked for better!
Convenient location near airport however this place is not really accommodating for late arrival.
Our plane was late and we were very stressed that the gate will be closed and we will be with out hotel after already long and stressful day.
Lovely room and breakfast. As this was a stop over but near airport. Alajuela is a bit run down but made welcome by staff especially son who had vey good English & who advised us where to go.
It’s a simple yet very nice place in Alajuela. For the budget it’s the best. Laura the owner is really nice and welcoming and included a nice breakfast. Best value in town
