The balcony and view was so lovely. It was amazing to wake-up by all that greenery, do some yoga and the breakfast was really good too. It's quite, but also close to a shopping centre and to get to the airport. Best of both worlds!

The place is clean, and very cozy it really feels like home. The host was amazing, always friendly and attentive. The location is very central, so everything is close by, and the airport shuttle service was a huge plus, super convenient. I would definitely recommend it and would stay here again without a doubt.

The staff, location, airport shuttle and pool were excellent. The breakfast was basic but lovely. I am a smoker and was pleased they supplied a designated smoking area. I had an early flight and had to leave at 6am so the breakfast was set up early. The wifi was great and the rooms were clean and comfortable. The park, shops and restaurants are close by.

This hotel exceeded my expectations. I thought I’d get a convenient nights sleep before traveling out of SJO. Instead I got a touch of the kind and happy spirit of Costa Rica. The dinner at their little Italian restaurant was fantastic (beef lasagna & fresh strawberry juice). The sound of the fountain by the pool was a perfect way to create a calm atmosphere, which got interrupted by planes every 20 minutes, but the calming noise bought it back. And the staff is so friendly.

    I was there one night because it was close to the airport.

    I was there one night because it was close to the airport. I would not hang out there for a significant length of time. Not a good place to be after dark. Also came across a suitcase on a sidewalk. It had obviously been stolen and rummaged through.

    Just a medium sized town with everything you need.

    Just a medium sized town with everything you need. There is a Wal Mart, Denny's and lots of other restaurants, stores and cafes. There is not a lot to see in the town for tourists, but it is easy to get into San Jose where you can get a bus to Jaco which has a great beach. You can walk into the town easily and it felt very safe, but I recommend taking the local bus. I would only go here to get to another place, but for a day or 2 it is a nice town to visit.

    San Jose and the area around the airport doesn't have much to recommend it beyond getting in and out of the country. After driving around for two hours to see the highlights, we agreed we couldn't get out of the city fast enough. We ate at the Taj Mahal location near the hotel (had come highly recommended as we'd heard it was the best Indian food around and was an iconic location with peacocks walking around, etc), but the airport location is just an open air restaurant in a strip mall next door to a Starbucks.

    Alajuela was central for us as we visited La Paz the first day and it was an easy drive back after hiking up and down to see the waterfall and gardens at La Paz. Served as a good jumping off point the next day for a visit to downtown Sam Jose, the National Theater, the museum and central market.

    We spent 30 days in Costa Rica and loved it. Alajuela was only for flying to and from Costa Rica. It has horrible traffic and nothing worth seeing that I know of. But its airport has better flight connections for us than Liberia airport. The airport itself is good, but getting in and out is a hassle!

    Good location near Airport. Free shuttle Bus.Attentive staff.Clean quiet hotel. Breakfast - good. Tip - don’t go to nearest restaurants - they’re expensive and nothing special. Rather take Uber for 3-4 usd and go to better restaurant ( for example to Cevichitos Alajuela Centro - superb fresh food and reasonable prices)
