Heart of the town
What an amazing place! And the history! Will be back Lord willing!

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.

Lovely spot to stay, great breakfast and friendly staff.
Sage, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good place, Good service
Pros: clean, good service, good breakfast, good location, comfortable. Cons: no safe in my room (although I never felt my stuff were in any danger) but still, room 7 overlooks breakfast courtyard area which is also used for relaxing by guests, makes it a bit tough to sleep in.

Nice quaint hotel in alajuela
This hotel is quaint and lovely right by the Central Park in alajuela. There are several restaurants but not a ton. To see and do in the are. The staff were amazing and breakfast was very good. We had a superior room so our own bathroom and a/c.

Quaint hotel in the heart of Alajuela
It's always a pleasure staying there. Smaller rooms, some have shared bathrooms, but the building is nice and well maintained. I think it's the staff that make the stay exceptional though; friendly, helpful service and always available to make your stay safe and comfortable. Be sure to have breakfast there if you can.

Clean, Helpful Staff
The hotel is the best place to stay upon arriving from the airport at night. Breakfast was delicious. The staff was helpful with directions and recommendations. There's no free parking, but you can park behind the block for a fee. There's restaurants within the block.

We loved it.
A very comfortable hotel in walking distance to numerous restaurants, Mercado, and bus station. Friendly, helpful staff. Excellent breakfast.
Dan, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Cozy, homely place w/ helpful staff! Our flight was very delayed and we didn't arrive until 3 am, and were very happy to get in, as it seemed we had to wake up the receptionist (so sorry!). The place is quite intimate, so be mindful that you need to be considerate of other guests. Comfortable beds, nice breakfast area in the small backyard. Nb! There was only one shower and two toilets (placed very close to the restaurant/breakfast area, wich is not super private). But quiet and convenient distance from San José airport.

This lovely family run vintage hotel is just minutes from the airport by taxi. The staff are super friendly and helpful, eager to provide any service they can. It is like staying with friends. Don’t expect air con, you won’t need it anyway, do expect a delightful breakfast, delicious coffee, comfortable beds, and smiles and courtesy from everyone who works there.

I enjoyed staying at Alejuela Hotel because of its location, the serenity you find in this place as well as the friendly & attentive staff. I would recommend it to anyone coming to visit Costa Rica. It's also a 20min drive approximately from SJO Airport. Yvonne

I chose this hotel for its location. I only stayed for one night, however if I ever plan a few days in the city this is where I will stay. The property is really lovely. The historic house is a unique stand alone property that is a stand out in it's location. The staff is phenomenal and so was the food! The ambiance and cleanliness were excellent. You can get fresh coffee at 6 am and the cook shows up to prepare your desayuno fresh around 7.... Thank you Dudley, Diego and the beautiful cook in the kitchen. I'm sorry I forgot to get your name. I'll see you next time!
