This is very close to SJO Airport.
This is very close to SJO Airport. Great for before or after flights for that reason (I stayed after and before flights). Alajuela street layout is easy to navigate. Tons of restaurants and shops in the vicinity.FrankUnited States of America - 6.0Scored 6.0

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

- From $72.80 per night8.3Scored 8.3Very GoodRated very good· 695 reviewsWe chose a location close to the airport, good price, no luxury. We got what we paid for: in the vibrant and authentic old town of Alajuela (what is much more attractive than the huge city area of San Jose), a familiar bed and breakfast, with a nice little room for a fair price. The staff is very friendly and they serve a well organized breakfast in the pretty patio. They organized us a taxi that appeared exactly at 4 pm and the very important sense of staying there was done perfectly. Thanks for this great stay!
Hosting World TravelerSwitzerland - 8.1Scored 8.1Very GoodRated very good· 2,214 reviewsI started and finished my trip to Costa Rica at this hostel because it’s 5 minutes from the airport. I can honestly say, they have the best showers I found in all of the hostels I stayed at! The staff were friendly and helpful and were able to save me a bed online for my second booking without a credit card as I was experiencing some issues with both my cards. I also really appreciated that I was told by the staff member showing me to my room that I was the only person in the room for the night.LiaCanada

The Alajuela quarter where the hotel is located is nice, typical. Good to visit if you have some part of the initial/final day in Costarica. Owners are kind and very well organized (also with social media) and can help you, about the transport from/to the airport. Very goodgiovanniItaly

I called in advance to notify them that she won't be arriving that day due to the closure of some section of the highway to San Jose. We changed to Hampton Inn in Alajuela, and the staffers made the difference! She stayed for a week in comfort.Vélez-ArochoUnited States of America
- From $75.30 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.
Harry (Netherlands)Netherlands - 8.1Scored 8.1Very GoodRated very good· 2,214 reviewsFriendly staff, and very nice and clean room really close to the airport. Walking distance. A taxi is even not needed. I also recommend to use the food truck of the hotel. It is more friendly and cheaper. I went to the restaurant at the corner and, let's admit, it was my mistake.
