The staff at this place is truly amazing. I haven't seen this level of service anywhere in Costa Rica. They truly care about you and want to make your stay as special as possible. Food is also incredibly amazing. And I'm a picky eater but the cooking is unbelievable Green area is very beautiful and very well maintained. Very quiet.

The hotel is AMAZING and checks all the boxes. Moreover, during our stay over in December, at the delightful hotel restaurant, the ambience turned enchanting with festive Christmas covers, a cheerful Santa Claus, and complimentary holiday treats for the guests. This memorable evening will forever be cherished in my heart.

The building is an absolute treasure, it's a house from 1915 and they have really preserved the ambiance and feeling. Travel is about immersion and this place gives you such a wonderful sense of being in Latin America in the best way possible.

    I was there one night because it was close to the airport.

    I was there one night because it was close to the airport. I would not hang out there for a significant length of time. Not a good place to be after dark. Also came across a suitcase on a sidewalk. It had obviously been stolen and rummaged through.

    Just a medium sized town with everything you need.

    Just a medium sized town with everything you need. There is a Wal Mart, Denny's and lots of other restaurants, stores and cafes. There is not a lot to see in the town for tourists, but it is easy to get into San Jose where you can get a bus to Jaco which has a great beach. You can walk into the town easily and it felt very safe, but I recommend taking the local bus. I would only go here to get to another place, but for a day or 2 it is a nice town to visit.

    San Jose and the area around the airport doesn't have much...

    San Jose and the area around the airport doesn't have much to recommend it beyond getting in and out of the country. After driving around for two hours to see the highlights, we agreed we couldn't get out of the city fast enough. We ate at the Taj Mahal location near the hotel (had come highly recommended as we'd heard it was the best Indian food around and was an iconic location with peacocks walking around, etc), but the airport location is just an open air restaurant in a strip mall next door to a Starbucks.

    Alajuela was central for us as we visited La Paz the first day and it was an easy drive back after hiking up and down to see the waterfall and gardens at La Paz. Served as a good jumping off point the next day for a visit to downtown Sam Jose, the National Theater, the museum and central market.

    We spent 30 days in Costa Rica and loved it.

    We spent 30 days in Costa Rica and loved it. Alajuela was only for flying to and from Costa Rica. It has horrible traffic and nothing worth seeing that I know of. But its airport has better flight connections for us than Liberia airport. The airport itself is good, but getting in and out is a hassle!

    Ex-hotel converted to dorms, which means every room has a bathroom. No trekking down a corridor to use a shower or bathroom. Superb location right next to the central square in Alajuela. Plenty of shops and eateries around. The best bit: free pick up from the airport. Nice! Staff were friendly and super helpful with information.

    Very close to the airport. Room was simple but comfortable for an evening arrival for an early morning flight. The staff were very helpful. It’s cheap compared to most of the hotels around. Uber Eats delivers if you don’t fancy the Italian restaurant on site.
