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.

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.

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.

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

Would definitely stay again.
The staff was amazing. The room was great for what we needed. Definitely would have been nice to have a second fan in the room. Breakfast in the morning was great.

El hotel estaba muy bien en cuanto a áreas comunes, espacio en las habitaciones, limpieza en general y amabilidad del staff.
Como nos ibamos muy pronto en la mañana, nos hicieron un desayuno rapido, ya que lo teniamos incluido, con fruta natural, cafe y pan de banano.
Reservamos este alojamiento porque estaba en el centro de la ciudad de Alajuela y muy cerca del aeropuerto internacional SJO.
Alrededor hay bastante sitios para comer/cenar y en el propio hotel te hacen recomendaciones.
Lo único que mejorariamos es que tuviera parking propio ya que en la entrada principal esta directamente la carretera y no se puede dejar estacionado ahi el coche. Cerca hay parking de pago con bastantes espacios y vigilados. Nos costo una noche: 7$.

El staff nos contó que es un hotel que tiene 183 años de historia, y la verdad que esta en super perfectas condiciones. Todo muy bien cuidado, aseado y ordenado. Nos han encantado las habitaciones por su espacio, limpieza, iluminación del baño. Camas comodas y con sabanas muy suaves.
Además el staff estuvo muy atento a nuestra llegada, y a las peticiones que les fuimos haciendo. Nos sirvieron el desayuno pronto en la mañana porque saliamos al amanecer.
Lo unico que no tuvimos sitio en el propio hotel para aparcar el coche y lo tuvimos que dejar en un parking privado girando la esquina que nos costo 6$ la noche.

Easy walk from central bus terminal. Friendly, helpful reception. Clean room.
As far as I could tell there were 2 shared bathrooms. Hotel seemed to be full, but I never had any issue with bathroom availability during my 4 night stay.
Central market was a 4-minute walk. Plenty of places to eat and shop nearby.

The price you pay for what you get is not justified. $80 and no air conditioning is not worthy for me. They charge $2 for a water bottle. Also, it is very loud at night. You can hear everything they say in the lobby.
