Homestay Guesthouse Casa Lapa
Lotes Llobet, Alajuela, Costa Rica – Great location - show map
Very convenient to the airport at a very reasonable price.
United States of AmericaVery clean, comfortable room, great value. Matthias and his wife were exceptionally warm and welcoming, and very accessible as their family lives on the property. Great place and would stay here again 11/10 times. Thank you Matthias!
United States of AmericaCommunication: I liked the guest book describing where to go, internet password was easily accessible. Instructions on meeting up, going in and out were clear.
United States of AmericaBeautiful property! The hosts were very kind & accommodating. Very modern design and amenities, including a full kitchen with utensils available for use and good working shower with hot water. It also had a great working air conditioner. The beds and pillows were very comfortable, which I’ve found to be quite a commodity in Costa Rica. They had adequate parking spaces within the property, that is protected by a big gate in the front. You must open and close the gate upon entering and leaving, that made us feel quite safe, especially with our rental car. The property had a few dogs and cats, and even chickens, which we really enjoyed seeing whenever we would go outside. The yard itself was nice, with a few shaded spots to enjoy. Overall a great stay, would definitely come again!
United States of AmericaThis family is hard working super nice professionals
United States of AmericaIt was very clean and quiet. Great location close to everything. I will definitely stay here again.
CanadaWell done, clean and modern--hot water great! Matthias very helpful. I recommend Casa Papa!
Costa RicaThis hotel became a favorite of myn in all of Costa Rica! Right when I arrive to CR Or am about to leave I always stay in Alejuela because it’s so close to the airport and such a great little town. I will be returning here to Casa Lapa for sure! It is one street away from the city centre which is so nice, they were so welcoming when I came and even let me stay until 3pm in my room until I was ready to leave! Incredibly kind staff, very clean and cute rooms and overall excellent. I will for sure be back!!
SpainI was nicely greeted, at 2am, the room and amenities exceeded my expectations.
United States of AmericaThe whole team was super accommodating. Even arranged airport pickup for me for $8 USD. When I didn’t have cash for the room, they allowed me to pay via PayPal. Wonderful communal kitchen where I could make coffee before a very early morning departure.

A guesthouse in the heart of Alajuela. Just a few of minutes away from the airport. Great oppurtunity to sleep 1-2 nights after arrival or before departure in a private room in a calm and safe neighbourhood. Perfect to discover the city by walking: Parque Central, restaurants, markets, Shopping Malls, cinema, cafés, ATMs and a lot more are located within 1km. We are thrilled to give you an authentic insight where locals eat, shop und go out. Valle Central as it´s best.
Hello, we are Matthias and Natalia. I am german and Natalia is from Costa Rica. We love travelling. Our international family is a good reason. We live in Germany but Costa Rica is our second home, especially because Natalia´s family and friends from school and university still live in Alajuela. It´s our vision to get you in touch with the great culture and joy of living oft hat beautiful country. Through our guesthouse in Alajuela wem ade a dream come true. Our rooms are set up personal and with love. The guesthouse offers a perfect start or finish of your journey through Costa Rica. We established the ameneties in a way that you can recover very after or before the flight. For us it was crucial that the place has to be very close to the airport. We focus of a cleanliness and high comfort of sleeping. These a key facts we appreciate the most on our trips and we want to offer that to our guests, too. We are looking foward to everyone that we can welcome at Casa Lapa. Our home is your home. Bienvenidos! PURA VIDA!
The house is located in a one-way street. Though it is in the center of town it is very calm apart from the city rush. In the neighbourhood live many families and they are very friendly (like costa rican people in general :)).
