David, 5-night trip

8/10 Good

The hotel was hard to get to due to location and traffic and there was no facility parking, but the hotel was very quaint and authentic to the country. We loved the courtyard dining area. The staff was very nice and cordial. Our room and bathroom were small but the beds were comfortable. We were only there one night to fly out the next day.

Sage, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

A great little place in Alajuela with wonderful tucked away rooms off a small courtyard and the best staff. When we had to cancel at last minute, they were so gracious, and when we arrived for a second visit we found the place tranquil and serene. The access to the airport is very good via taxi as well.
Leif, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

This place is very charming and clean. No free airport shuttle, but close enough that the cab is about $10. Convenient location.
Erin, 1-night trip

4/10 Poor

No parking And you have to pay separate for parking $11 outside of the hotel and walk to the hotel
KARLA, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

A hidden gem. The doors don't keep out any noise, so it is quite loud with noise from within and without. Other than that it is very clean, the breakfast is delicious. A very neat little place.
R, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Great experience! Fabulous hospitality!

I had a fantastic 1 night stay at Alajuela City Hotel & Guest House! The hospitality and customer service was unmatched from the second I walked up the stairs. I felt very at home and was so impressed that they had my made-to-order breakfast ready for me before my early am departure. Definitely recommend for a stay near SJO.

This is quaint historic hotel in the heart of the city. Easy walking to the museum and Central Park. It is like an oasis within the city. The staff is attentive and the rooms are clean and quiet. Breakfast is wonderful. Ask about parking as the city is very congested. Definitely recommended!

Alexandra, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Staff were super helpful. Room was clean. Breakfast was delicious. The property is well maintained.
Krista, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The property was nice and staff very friendly. The building was older and in good condition. There was not A/C which was okay with the windows opened. The tall room doors had ventilation openings at the top of them which opened to the main hallway. This was nice for airflow but unfortunately also lets sound travel from the hall to the room. Breakfast was very good and there were quite a few shops and restaurants in the area. It was a good value for money overall and an easy trip from the airport.
