The property is in a good location close to the airport. We only stayed a night as a stopover before catching another flight down to Osa. The staff was friendly and the garden and house were great. This definitely felt like staying in a family’s house. The accommodations were mixed between private rooms and dorm like rooms. We stayed in a private room that was comfortable. It is definitely a good budget option.

I will go back while traveling thru San Jose. Very friendly staff.It's more like a guest house than a hostel. Family run adds to the feeling of hospitality & safety. Will assist with language deficits.

This is a great little home-stay style property, practically next to the airport. I had a private room with a shared bathroom, and breakfast included. My plane arrived after 11 pm and they offered airport pick up for a small fee. It was a safe and easy walk into Alajuela. The family is welcoming and courteous and you can chill in the back garden and listen to the birds.
