Nice hotel close in downtown, close to the shops, restaurants, market, bus terminals (Wagon, TUASA). Daniel is a good host.

Perfectly located to SJO and friendly staff
Hotel is perfectly located for arrival and departure only 5-10min away from San Jose Airport. Hotel is in walking distance to great restaurants and the city is clean and safe. The only small thing I would suggest for improvement is the shower in the rooms. Not enough pressure on the water is you need to wash long hair. The staff is outstanding, and the best of our stay: from welcoming us, recommendations and to sending us off at 4am :-)

Super céntrico
Las atenciones del personal fueron de lo mejor... siempre dispuestos a resolver dudas y dar opciones de comida y lugares que visitar. Y lo mejor es que está a 5min exagerando del aeropuerto

Buena ubicación a buen precio
Al llegar fuimos amablemente atendidos por Aldo, recibimos buena atención de su parte. La habitación pequeña con su baño privado pero bien para una noche que nos quedamos, un poco encerrada pero contaba con luz natural y un ventilador grande ya que la temperatura y humedad es alta en Alajuela. La cama era un poco suave para mi gusto pero pudimos dormir confortablemente. El desayuno está incluido y es continental de frutas y café y tostadas y lo sirven en un espacio muy agradable. Por su ubicación no cuente con Parqueo pero dejamos durante la noche el vehículo en un parque a 10o metros por 2500 colones. En general estuvo muy bien para caminar y recorrer el centro de Alajuela y disfrutamos de café en la esquina mientras llovía .

A great hotel for a night near the airport. The area looks rough....window bars and razor wire abound, but I think it's just because it's inner city. No AC, and the fan didn't do much to cool the room. Room was small. Breakfast was a nice surprise, simple but good and delivered to the table.

A true balla’ never frowns
Got to hotel and the guy said my room wasnt available. Flood he said. 10pm at night in an unfamiliar part of this city and im standing on a sidewalk with all of my crap and no hotel room. I asked why i didnt get an email and the guy says he sent one letting me know that room was unavailable and i was being relocated to the hostel down the street. Nope. No email. Should of taken a sec and sent me one. Whatever. The guy is lucky I know a little secret about this country. Everything is alway just fine....

Near the airport and quaint little town.
My husband and I stayed here for the night before we headed onward. The hotel is located 1.3k from the airport and if you are ambitious enough to walk it, you could. Hotel provided us with taxi help in the morning with taxi cab costung no more $4-$5. Our one night stay was perfect. In the evening when we got in we walked around the square and the near by mercado. There are lots of great coffee shops and restaurants around. The following morning we woke up to a free continental breakfast. Fresh fruits, toast and coffee. The owners are really nice and attententive and really want you to feel at home. Definitely recommend staying here especially if you have a layover or early flight. Or even if you want to check out San Jose area.

Hôtel Alajuela
Patron et personnels sympathiques. Hôtel pratique puisque dans le centre ville et a moins de 10 minutes en bus de l'aéroport. En revanche, de part son implantation, bruyant tôt le matin en raison de la circulation. Bon rapport qualité/prix.

Hot night\Cold wake up.
Staff was very nice but somehow I missed that it is in the city (I knew) and didn't have air conditioning or hot water. I picked the place because of the proximity to the SJO airport (4 KM) since I had an early flight. Without AC or the ability to open the windows because of the city noise it was hard to sleep, but the cold shower at 3 am certainly woke me up fast.

4/10 Fair

Not sure how the value compares to other hotels
The man at the front desk was very nice and helpful. The room was small, bed was uncomfortable and the sheets were paper thin. There was a fan, but no a/c. Had to pay for overnight parking at a lot a couple of blocks away. Breakfast was toast with butter/jam, coffee, juice, and fresh fruit.

Good service and close to the airport
Had a really nice stay here. The owner was really polite and service minded and had a good sence of humor! We got a big room with comfortable beds and cushions. There was also an airconditioner in the room. The hotel was very close to the airport. Did not feel like the safest area but it was better than San Jose! Would stay here again!

Basic, clean hotel. Would stay again
My friend and I needed a cheap, basic hotel for one night near the airport and this was an awesome option as oppose to a hostel. We checked in late and the reception guy (owner?) was so so sweet and friendly. Our room was super basic but very clean bathroom and bed with a powerful fan. Would stay again
