I've stayed at the Hotel Guanacaste for 15 years - the only times i have not is when they haven't had a room available- it's my preferred local. It's not a fancy place, but it suits my needs. It is very close to the bus stations and dining choices

8/10 Very good

Although the room was small and simple, it was clean, comfortable, and with good A/C. No hot water but who needs it in 33 degree heat. A bit noisy from the adjacent bar, but no problem with ear plugs. Good food in the attached restaurant. The staff were fabulous - friendly and super helpful and went out of their way.

Hotel for the locals

This is your local Tico hotel. No friles, no bells and whistles very basic but very old. The price is cheap for a reason but it is in a very good location.

I have stayed with Hotel Guanacaste several times over the years when in Liberia.. Have noticed many improvements in that time. The hotel has always been cheap & affordable, centrally located, clean with reliable Wi-Fi. These are important to me and I will return as long as this is provided ๐Ÿ˜

You get the price of what you pay, if you are looking just for a place to sleep and go then this is ok, no hot water, no shampoo and expect bugs and mosquitoes in your room. Close to amenities. Staff was friendly

Hotel Guanacaste is pretty accurate in what it advertises, it is a good budget hotel with nice staff and owners. We were even treated specially for being returning customers and that is something to value. There is a bar outside and music can be loud in certain rooms, so pack some earplugs if you are a light sleeper, but other than that we were really happy with the experience.

2/10 Poor

The staff were decent, however, this is the dirtiest place i have ever stayed. The walls and floors were extremely dirty. The staff cleaned the toilet as i waited to enter, but it was badly stained. The bed sheets were clean.

2/10 Poor

Gross

This place was gross. Our room had ripped sheets, stained bed cover, a cigarette butt among other dirt (despite a no smoking sign in the room) on the ground. I am generally fine staying in budget places and donโ€™t need much but it was hard to stay in this room. On the flip side, the people working here were lovely and the bar/lounge area was decent/clean. I spent as much time as I could there before I had to go into the room to sleep.

This is was my third visit to Hotel Guanacaste and I have seen many improvements from my last visit 1 ยฝ years ago ๐Ÿ‘ This hotel is very safe, quiet, extra conveniently located a 5 minute walk from my TicaBus pickup and drop off point. The convience food options are steps my the hotel and include McDonald's, Taco Bell, KFC, Burger King, Papa John's so many more. The discount shopping ๐Ÿ›๏ธ options are endless with several discount Big box and grocery stores literally on the doorstep. Well done, keep up the great work ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘ I will be back later in the year.

I needed an affordable place to stay before my flight and this was exactly what I needed. It is fair to say that if you are accustomed to perfectly painted walls and high thread count sheets this is not your place. It was exactly what I needed-- a bed to sleep in, bathroom, and convenience of locality. The staff were beyond helpful and the only people who openly spoke the me in this city. Additionally, if you do not speak Spanish and are not willing to learn, this is not your place. Overall, I had an amazing experience for what I needed.

This is an okay place to stay for one night when arriving in or leaving from Costa Rica. It is very basic and nothing has been replaced in decades, but it is clean and they do their best to take care of the place. The rooms are between two bars, so the partying is loud and continues into the night. The rooms are inside the grounds of one of the bars, but once the bar is closed for the night, the fence is closed and the gate is locked. My friend and slept soundly there and woke early to take a taxi to the airport, to which the lady at the front kindly arranged the night before. An older gentleman unlocked the fence for us and stood guard until our taxi arrived. There were several restaurants we walked to in about 5-10 minutes. I felt comfortable staying with a friend, but I may have felt a little nervous going out at night by myself. I heard an iguana crawling around inside the roof for a minute just before bedtime, but I think he settled down and went to sleep too.

We have just stayed twice at this hotel (2 days in the beginning of our trip and 2 days at the end). You pretty much get what you paid for. The rooms are very basic, but clean. PROS: The best thing were the guys at the reception. They were very friendly and helpful answering any question we had. The AC worked perfectly and was very quiet, the TV also worked well. The location was excellent. We had the opportunity to meet the owner, Sonia, and she was professional and pleasant. On our second stay, the matresses were more comfortable. CONS: The worst asset of this hotel was the morning girl at the reception. She was rude, unpleasant and unprofessional. That by itself, turned any experience to bad. A few points to notel: there was no hot water and it was pretty noisy in the night. You can hear everything that is going on outside. All in all, it is a reasonable place if you need a cheap place to sleep close to the centre and bus stations
