I think most travelers would not spend more than two nights in Alajuela- 1 inbound and 1 outbound. I spent 5+2 nights in Alajuela while I was getting ready for my family members' visits spread over a few days. Our "suburban" enclave was up-to-date with modern facilities, and close to Alajuela near the Freeway 1. The location where we stayed was "authentic" with a tiny super, a cute bakery, a soda, and the most delightful neighbors. I could almost stay to learn the language. :0

I stayed pretty close to a large shopping mall--just a few blocks away--so the restaurant options were great. I ate at "Mahalo"--great poke! The house is within a few miles of the airport, so getting there only cost 3 colones, and I took a Tuasa bus (for about two dollars) to get to Alajuela from downtown San Jose. The only "negative" is that there were traffic sounds, but they settled down when it got later. I would definitely stay in Alajuela again. I felt completely safe walking back alone at night after dinner.

The area is fun and easy to get around.
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.GenesisCanada - 8.0Scored 8.0

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.MarcoPacoUnited States of America - 8.0Scored 8.0
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 gelatosAAnonymous - 6.0Scored 6.0
Quite noisy and a bit dirty.
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.RitvanenFinland

- From $42.94 per night8.1Scored 8.1Very GoodRated very good· 2,220 reviewsThe hostel is near the airport so you can hear the loud noises of airplane taking off in very early morning. The noise is very very loud. The beds are comfortable. The staff is very friendly however the taxi driver affiliated with the hotel over charged us. He charged $10 for 2km ride to pick our rental car. The room rates are quite cheap. We only needed a place near the airport to rest for few hours until we could pick up our rental car so I would say the place did its work.
NhungUnited States of America - From $128.82 per night8.6Scored 8.6ExcellentRated excellent· 454 reviewsHotel Robledal is one of our go-to's when it comes to the airport in San Jose. It's comfortable there, clean, and it's easy to get to or from the airport with the free shuttle. There are several people on staff that I enjoy seeing. The gardens and little pond are refreshing and the pool is just enough for a nice dip or a little fun with the family. You can find cheaper places but they won't be as convenient or relaxing.Jack

Ideal for people who arrive by plane and later travel on. The staff was very friendly and extremely helpful. I had some problems with my flight (lost luggage amongst other things) and the staff did their very best to help finding solutions. Two thumbs up!WimBelgium

- From $125.67 per night7.9Scored 7.9GoodRated good· 3,244 reviewsPerfect hotel for arriving or leaving from San Jose airport, as actually the airport is located in Alajuela and not in San Jose. A taxi to/from the airport is only 6USD. But they even have a free shuttle from or to the airport, you can choose one of these options. Great staff and very good buffet breakfast.

It's very clean, comfortable, safe, and a kind owner. I was debating between Holiday Inn and this property.
