We chose the hotel because it is close to the airport. It was cheap compared to the other possibilities and provided free shuttle to the airport. In the nearby it is easy to find something to eat, or buy food and eat on the terrace.

Albert is so kind! We love it here! Always make sure to stop here when we visit Costa Rica

Cassandra United States of America

Josè was an incredibly gracious host. We didn’t realize that we had to pay for our booking in cash when we arrived at 12:30 am and they allowed us to pay for our room in the morning after going to the ATM. Additionally the room was comfortable and cool with AC. He also provided great recommendations for traveling around Costa Rica. I would definitely stay at La Guardia again when coming back to San José - very good value and kind hosts.

Megan United States of America

very nice rooms, clean, friendly, accommodating staff, shuttle to airport was perfect.

Leslie United States of America

Excellent location with the pool and an acceptable breakfast

Gary Canada

Very convenient location and free transport to airport was an extra bonus. Was booked into a room with a terrace which meant it was in the interior of the hotel so it was very quiet. The young man behind the counter was very courteous and helpful.

Nike United States of America

Close to the airport and very easy check in at a great location! They had on site parking if needed. Airport shuttle starts running at 2 am on the hour and was a life saver! Rooms were clean and the hotel has a locked "buzz in" entrance. The pool was nice and cold and the outdoor area was super cute. The staff was really helpful and very friendly. Overall great stay!

  • Hello from Manitoba Canada! My name is Kurt Nickel and I am flying in to SJO on Mon Jan 20 and flying out of SJO on Feb 22. If I was to book a room for both arriving and departing days, is the airport shuttle able to do a complimentary pickup for myself on Jan 20 as well? I arrive quite late... 10 PM from Canada. Was hoping to be picked up on Jan 20 as well as dropped off on Feb 22 and would love to stay with you both of those nights. Please let me know if a pick up is possible? Thank you! Kurt
