Perfect location to explore the Poás area. Beautiful hotel grounds and vistas of the surrounding area. Our bed was comfortable, and the room was clean, spacious, and artfully decorated. Breakfast was a yummy traditional Costa Rican breakfast with eggs, gallo pinto, cheese, avocado, and plantain. Great coffee, too. Our host was friendly, helpful, and always available. We would stay here again.

I liked the availability of a shuttle to the airport as much as the free breakfast as well. The staff was the best. Laura is fantastic. She was so nice and helpful. The guys there too. They helped us find a car to rent and provided all the information we asked for. Laura deserves a raise.

    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.

    Alajuela has everything I like in a city without much down side. It's clean and safe with many markets, shops, malls, transportation options, green spaces and restaurants. It even has a large dance school.

    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!

    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!

    The perfect place to stay in Alajuela ! This was the best hostel I made during my trip. The host is super nice and welcoming, she cooks delicious homemade breakfast, everything is super clean and confortable, and this place is in the centre of the city and 10 min away from the airport with a taxi ! I recommend this hostel to start or finish your trip in the most perfect conditions :)

    The hotel was centrally located and close the airport. If you want to walk around downtown Alajuela, the location is great. It's in the middle of the city and noise is to be expected. However, when I woke up shortly after midnight on a Saturday it was quiet. However, by 5 a.m. you could hear cars tearing down the street.

    Good location near Airport. Free shuttle Bus.Attentive staff.Clean quiet hotel. Breakfast - good. Tip - don’t go to nearest restaurants - they’re expensive and nothing special. Rather take Uber for 3-4 usd and go to better restaurant ( for example to Cevichitos Alajuela Centro - superb fresh food and reasonable prices)

    The hotel was not too far from the airport which was perfect as we had arrived late in San Jose. The breakfast was excellent, the best I’ve had in Costa Rica so far. The hotel has lovely gardens, well kept pool and a good pool table. A nice place to relax and take in the lush surroundings.
