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. 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.RitvanenCosta Rica - 10Scored 10

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.Irene Z KUnited Kingdom

- 9.5Scored 9.5ExceptionalRated exceptional· 47 reviewsDon Carlos Place was the best reservation I have ever had on Booking. The hosts (Carmen & Felix) were communicative and they met us in person at the property to greet us, give the keys, give a tour, and explain the rules. They were wonderful, flexible, and easy to communicate with. Easy check-in. Safe, quite location. Very close to central Alajuela and a 10 minute drive to the airport. The place was spacious, clean, and comfortable. It was extremely well stocked with spices in the kitchen, snacks, and thoughtful amenities.Luke GulbrandUnited States of America
- From $28.25 per night8.4Scored 8.4Very GoodRated very good· 516 reviewsMy 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.JohanneNorway
- From $42.94 per night8.1Scored 8.1Very GoodRated very good· 2,218 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 $34.58 per night8.0Scored 8.0Very GoodRated very good· 985 reviewsWe stayed for the first 2 nights of our trip and the last night before leaving Costa Rica. The hotel staff were lovely and could not have been more helpful. The hotel location is very convenient for the airport and a central place for wandering around Alajuela, finding restaurants, etc. The garden dining area was a pleasant place to relax, and the breakfast was delicious (the best Gallo pinto of our trip).

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!
