super appartement et accueil très sympa . Très bon emplacement pour visiter la région

la situation géographique, l’emplacement au centre ville et surtout un appartement spacieux et très bien équipé. les propriétaires sont toujours très disponibles et un rapport qualité prix exceptionnel

un peu de bruit en soirée, mériterait une meilleure isolation côté rue

Demasiado recomendado ❤️

Las instalaciones muy lindas y muy limpias . Pero lo que más quiero destacar es la amabilidad con la que reciben a cada persona , creo que en ningún hostal anterior en los que he estado, nos habían recibido con tanta amabilidad y alegria . La disponibilidad que tiene para ayudar, guiar y orientar a los viajeros , es única , realmente quedamos muy agradecidos, nos hubiera gustado quedarnos más tiempo .

Perfect place to stay in Liberia

Superfriendly owners that will help and assist you if needed. The house itself is in walking distance of the bus terminal. The owner recommended a local Mexican restaurant not far away, the restaurant was also very nice. Very helpful people and a kitchen with good free coffee/tea. The showers are clean and have nice warm water. Best place in town to stay!

Super pour séjourner

Le lieu est en fait l’ancienne maison de la grand-mère de la famille qui a été transformé en un hôtel. Parking intérieur, 4 salles de bain disponibles, grande cuisine avec café, personnel accueillant, espace partagé très bien décorés, eau chaude avec gel douche et shampooing, très propre, calme, clime.

La chambre où nous sommes restées est un petit peu exigue et manque de rangement mais les espaces extérieurs sont très grands

Living life with the Locals!

Easy to get around, really clean and comfortable. Hosts were great and helped arrange for transportation to the airport. Love to see how locals live day to day. always a lot of activity in the area, street bands etc. Good food and grocery close by. I really didn't know what to expect but had a great time

nothing I can think of

Très belle adresse pour Liberia

Hostal bien situé à 800m du terminal de bus. 10 mn à pied dans une ville très sûre ou 5 mn avec Uber . Propriétaires vraiment très agréables et sympathiques. Chambre un peu petite avec 2 lits simples , un petit meuble pour les affaires. Air conditionné. Les douches et WC sont séparés. J'en ai compté 3. Il n'y a jamais d'attente. Vaste cuisine à disposition, très propre et bien équipée. Café et thé. Espaces communs très agréables, bien pour se reposer et les rencontres. Rapport qualité prix intéressant. C'est une très belle adresse pour Liberia. Supermarché Pali à une centaine de mètres.

Pas de petit déjeuner mais café et thé à disposition.

Pleased

The host and his family were so welcoming and accommodating. The place was spotless and I feel like there is good value in staying here. He gave us meal suggestions and was able to hold our luggage after we checked out. Always offering a smile and fresh coffee.

Our room had air conditioning but the common areas and the bathroom did not. My only suggestion would be adding a small fan to the bathrooms. They can be uncomfortably warm.

Fijn

Meestal geven wij geen voorkeur aan een gedeelde badkamer, maar doordat ze 4 badkamers hebben hadden we daar totaal geen last van. De ligging is goed, ze maken constant schoon, koffie wordt gezet, ze hebben leuke zitjes en je kan een auto binnen parkeren.

Voor de prijs krijg je niet de grootste kamer

Liberia CR

Hosts communicated well. The facility was clean. The common areas are nice. Felt I saw the inside of a locals house.

Noise. It seems in a Sunday night there were people outside street racing and the noise from the vehicles was very loud, at least it was very loud from my room.

Als kurzer Zwischenstop ein gutes Hostel mit sehr freundlichen Betreibern.

Wir haben nur eine Nacht im Hostel verbracht, bevor unser Flieger am nächsten Morgen Richtung Heimat ging. Uns war deshalb die Nähe zum Flughafen und der günstige Preis wichtig.

Uns hätte ein eigenes Bad im Zimmer gefallen. Aber für 1 Nacht konnten wir uns damit gut arrangieren.

Cute basic nice place with very friendly staff

Guillermo and his family are very welcoming and friendly. Location is only 10 minutes by foot from the Bus Municipal to go to Peñas Blancas and also reachable by public bus from Liberia Airport. Cute house with a nice patio. Rooms are basic but good enough for a couple of nights. There was even air conditioning. Thank you for the first night in Costa Rica

Best place to stay in Liberia

The whole family is super friendly and welcoming. We immediately felt like at home. They went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed! They really have an eye for details, e.g. umbrellas to take, in case of rain. Everything is super clean and the staff permanently takes care of all the facilities. The room itself was cozy and the AC was working properly. The common areas are nicely designed and we really enjoyed hanging out there. There are many shared bathrooms, so you'll never have to wait for showering. This was our best stay since weeks, thanks to the family who runs this place! Muchas Gracias!

Nothing. We only regret not staying longer :-)

Amazing staff, super kind family running this nice place. We felt very cared for

Lovely family run place, staff are so kind and very considerate! They went above and beyond expectations in helping us. We feel grateful to them for their amazing care and communication. The apartment was comfortable and WiFi really good. Really recommend the place and the lovely family that run it. Very easy walk to main square and shops.

There's not much the family can do about this, but the road noise and neighbours' music on a Saturday is a bit loud. It's probably not a problem on any other night, and it's probably the same across the city.

Exceptional

The space has been created and decorated with love, making you feel right at home. It‘s a family business, which makes everything even more homey and the owners are super kind and helpful. The rooms aren‘t big but if you need more space you can hang out in the common areas. The bathrooms are cleaned regularly and the location is great too (close to bus terminal and city center). Definitely the best place to stay in Liberia on a budget!!
