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.

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.

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.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
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.

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!

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.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
I would say it's more like 4.5 stars. The room was small but spotless and fit our family of 4. Comfortable beds. Check-in was easy and the staff was pleasant and very nice. Breakfast was delicious, and set in a cute little courtyard. We easily took an Uber to the airport for a reasonable cost. The cons: no A/C, so we opened the window, but there were no screens so I got bug bites (just me, no one else) and the cars on the street were kind of noisy. But given the price of the room, you can't complain - you could just put on some bug spray and bring some earplugs if you're a light sleeper!

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.

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.
