I arrived a little early and the staff made me feel welcomed, they were able to accommodate my early arrival, and were very attentive

Cute place. Friendly and helpful staff. Room was great. We arrived on a Saturday evening, for the night, prior to a flight out the next day. This area of town was mostly closed for business. We figured it would be more inviting on a week day during business hours. It was not enjoyable to walk around and check things out like we were hoping. Excellent breakfast was included.

The owner, Charles, was very helpful and friendly which made our late night check in easy. The place is safe and clean so it’s perfect if you’re traveling alone with a small child. Book directly with the hotel to save even more money which I will do for my next stay. I enjoyed my Tico breakfast with the other guests in the lovely outdoor dining area. The staff (ladies in the kitchen& front desk) were great too!

Excellent service! Tidy rooms! Beautiful court yard!

It’s a nice location right in the middle of the city of Alajuela. Not many tourists and no night life but tons of restaurants.

Nice hotel, staff was awesome!

The stay was good. Had a bit of a hostel vibe to it. The staff was friendly and informative. It was great for a nights stay. Breakfast was decent the next morning as well. For a pre and post flight hotel it works great. Keep in mind there isn’t any A/C so the rooms can get quite hot.

Great place to vacations!

It was a good place to stay. It was a bit of a shock the area around and getting too. I also thought there would be air conditioning but there wasn’t. The staff was amazing! They were so polite and very good at their jobs. The food was so good! Beds are firm. Over all a pretty good stay thanks

This Guesthouse is a little Gem tucked away in the heart of the city but without the noise. Property was extremely clean, with all the necessities needed for a great stay. Room was perfect and breakfast was really good. The grounds were well kept and clean. Prices are very affordable. Check in was seamless with Fernando. Nothing requested was too much - All staffs were very accommodating. Breakfast included - prepared fresh and cooked to order upon arrival at the restaurant. The Owner Mr. Henderson was extremely personable and greeted all guests. We enjoyed our time there although too short. If you’re looking for affordable prices, a quiet place, superb service then this little Gem is ideal for your stay. We will definitely stay again. Thank you for a phenomenal stay and the outstanding customer service that was provided by all staffs that we encountered during our stay.

People are very helpful. Breakfast was delicious. Rooms are simple, but clean and comfortable. Living area is beautiful. Receptionnists were amazing. They helped me with the rest of my trip. For the price, it's perfect.

We enjoyed our stay. Close to the airport.

Very beautiful very home feeling

I loved the hotel and location for an authentic taste of the city. Unfortunately there was a party nearby that thumped music until 2pm so reading was almost impossible.

This place was nice for an overnight state for an early flight. I saw other reviews online and booked it for that same reason. It is quaint, old, but very unique and comfortable. Within walking distance of numerous restaurants, and the staff was very accommodating.

Had a wonderful two night stay here recently. The staff was courteous and Carlos was very informative and kind. There’s a bit of a learning curve with the shower but I think that’s Costa Rica plumbing in general. I made a mistake by not reading the room description properly so our room did not have ac but totally my mistake not the property’s. However, our windows opened and at night it was very cool out so it wasn’t a problem at all. The breakfast here was so good and the property itself was really cute and cozy and only about 12 mins or so from SJO. We definitely would stay here again.

One night stay, late arrival from airport, they were waiting for us. Reasonable, rooms comfortable, breakfast very good and extremely friendly staff.

everyone was so kind, breakfast was excellent, Carlitos and Fernando were so nice both are excellent host, location is perfect if you don’t rent a car most of the local restaurants are to a walking distance and not far from the airport. We were so pleased with everything that will recommend and we hopefully come back soon.

very homey and friendly

Alajuela City Hotel & Guest House made our trip! Through preserving its wooden ceilings, gorgeous doors, and courtyard full of plants (and signs for their varieties), it is obvious that the staff takes lots of pride in the history and upkeep of this building. We had to leave at 3:15AM for our flight, and even though we missed the included breakfast later that morning, a to go stack of homemade goods for our travels were prepared for us ahead of time, so thoughtful! Another plus — they are able to organize a shuttle for you. Lovely facilities, and even more lovely staff! Would stay here all over again.

The property is old (decor, furnishings etc) but not in a bad way. It’s quaint with good bones. The best feature for me is the cleanliness.. dust free, comfortable sleeping, bed and linens were fresh and much detail taken on sanitary bathrooms and surfaces you touch. I actually didn’t use my travel pillowcase which blew my mind bc I don’t put my face down on foreign pillows. The breakfast is included with the stay, and it was delicious, a nice hearty portion a traditional Costa Rican, breakfast. Everyone is courteous, and I have the opportunity to meet the owner. He was a delight. The only thing a little offputting to me was the area but once you’re inside, it’s great.

Affordable, clean rooms, staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Helped me arrange a middle of the night can to the airport which worked flawlessly. Would definitely stay again especially when I’m need of a short stay close to the airport (10 minutes).

A lovely patio with lighting and fountains, very friendly reception staff, comfortable, traditional rooms, friendly and interesting clientele.

This property is conveniently placed next to the airport. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Also, we didn’t realize we booked the guest house, sharing the bathroom with other guest was different for us. But we were only there for a few hours. It wasn’t bad!

Very clean and quiet stay even in downtown.

This place is a true gem! If you want something authentic, this is your place! Let me tell you! The sharing shower a little bit odd for me, but this place is cleaner than my own bathroom! This lady scrub that bathroom 5-6 times a day, every time I go in there is have towels, paper towels, toilet paper, soap, body wash, Lysol spray! The breakfast is included, and that is worth more than we payed for the room! Everyone is so nice, smiling, helpful! I stayed in another hotel, the price vas 7x what I payed here, and can’t even come close to this place! I already did a reservation later on for this year, to bring my kids back! So convenient, close to the airport, park, and animal rescue, bus stops, have small stores around, it’s nice to stay a couple days if you want to see a few tings in San Jose. I’m going to recommend this place for everyone! Wait a minute! Nope! I keep it to myself because I want to have a room available 😊

As soon as I booked, I called and the woman I talked to was eager and kind to talk to me, which was comforting. When I arrived, Carlos was waiting outside for me and made sure I had a fair price from the taxi driver. Immediately felt cared for. He then checked in many parties very quickly but kindly and thoughtfully. After quite a long and complicated week of traveling, it was a breath of fresh air to arrive here and feel taken care of. Carlos even made sure I had everything I needed food, water, first aid wise. Also, the place is gorgeous! Small, quaint, relaxing, and partially outdoors with a little hidden oasis. So sweet and special. I am really glad I stayed here. 10/10 would recommend to others staying in Alajuela City!

I love this place. First time staying here, Warmth welcome by the staff. Clean room, quiet place, eclectic garden. Will come back. I have already recommended this place to many people who are traveling to Costa Rica.

Looked for a hotel for my last day in Costa Rica, it is near the airport and with very friendly staff. Breackfast was great had fruit coffee pinto and eggs + banana muffin. Downside it does not have parking space.

Juan Carlos was very friendly to deal with at the front desk. I think they only had one parking spot but he directed to us to a place around the corner. He was up all night in case we needed any assistance. Breakfast was tasty.

For $100 a night it was cute and quaint and everything I needed. I did have to wipe the toilet seat a little bit which was annoying it didn’t seem to be fully cleaned. But the stay was comfy and the morning breakfast in the cute courtyard was great, good service and good lil spot.

Friendly staff and amazing owners. My son really loved the garden and fountain. The breakfast they served was delicious as well. Don’t hesitate to book you won’t regret it. See you soon Alajuela City Hotel & Guest House
