This is a 10/10 hotel. The staff is beyond kind and goes out their way to help. The reception spoke perfect English and went above and beyond to help me after a mix up of dates. Upon arrival- I was very impressed with the room size and decor. I have been to many 5 star hotel and the room size, comfort and quality was below this hotel. The rooms are huge with high ceiling and good AC. The shower pressure was the best throughout the hotels I have stayed in Costa Rica and the hot water worked well. Do not let the cheap price fool you. This is a 5 star hotel for its comfort and best of all its 10 mins away from the international airport.

The neighbors rooster woke us up a couple times in the night, but the hotel itself and staff were perfect. It was just what we needed and happened to be right next to our car rental place (Payless).

While Karao Hotel may offer budget nightly stays, it offers amazingly large rooms, close vicinity to the Liberia airport, public bus directory in front of Karao, and extraordinary professionally brewed coffee shop and breakfast meals. The (made on premises) breakfast items are inexpensive and high quality. Hope you will enjoy my recent photos of these delights, my companion and I stayed twice in December 2025. Perfect in every way.

The place over whole is ok looking very clean, however the sheet were old and seems dirty there was hair from previous travellers we had to sleep on the towels , the place has lots of potential. Location is very good to airport and staff were very attentive to open the place , don’t worry once you there it’s easy to access.
