    Quite noisy and a bit dirty. People are nice, but food was a disappointment - it was almost impossible to find fresh vegetarian food that hadn’t been processed. Everything was fried in grease and had meat in it.

    A horrible crowded traffic-glutted ugly town, which however has a great bookstore - Goodlight books - and a noisy rather grim organic cafe called Chante with really good food and vegan ice cream, but the traffic outside is awful. Rorro's Mexican restaurant was warm-hearted and fun but lots of fried stuff and the veggie tacos were horrible, with rubbery eggplant. The french fries were awful compared to the ones at Chante. My friend found driving in Alajuela a nightmare.

    They did not accept the price booked and confirmed on booking.com, even though I showed the reservation. We arrived in the evening tired and taking advantage of this, they gave us rooms at a much higher price. In addition, the next day after we left, the price of one night was deducted from my account again!!! Terrible!

    It is worth an extra day if you have not been there a million times. See the cathedral. The museum is excellent. There are good restaurants. I wouldn't drive there though. The main reason for going there is that that is where the airport is.

    Heather and Luis really kind and do everything to make sure that you have a nice stay and that you feel welcomed! They really care about there guests and they helped me with some complicated things that I needed to fix to be able to fly back home. There is a very good balance between quality and price with a nice room and a very cute patio where they serve a nice breakfast. Great location if you want to be close to the airport, really easy to get there within 10 minutes. I think this is the best place to spend your time in Alajuela.

    We have stayed at the Bamboo Aparthotel before and it is always a great stopover for SJO airport. Not only is it very close to the airport but it's ideal for walking to a really nice Mexican restaurant in downtown Alajuela for supper. They offered a room upgrade this time, so we had an apartment right next to our secure parking spot, which was very convenient as we had a lot of luggage with us. And, as always, a very good breakfast. It's our go to place for a one-night stopover, but we would happily stay there for longer too.

    Very nice people who work here and it's a nice and clean hostel. We stayed here for two times, at the beginning of our holiday and at the end. I would recommend the normal 2 persons room more over the luxury one since this one is less noisy and a bit more dark but both rooms are good! You can have some nice meals here also. There is a taxi service from the hostel so you don't have to struggle with finding your way through the (illegal) taxi jungle when you arrive in Alajuela.

    Wonderful location in the center of Alajuela. Clean and nice throughout. Great breakfast and kitchen facilities. Although the location is on a busy street, the rooms are in the back and very little noise could be heard. Alejandro was the best host, always willing to help and answer questions. We stayed here for two nights just two weeks previous to this visit and decided to spend out last night in Costa Rica here again! We highly recommend it as it is definitely a 10!!!

    The best Hotel! All was clean, nicely done and prepared. The owners are super helpful and friendly. My bag was damaged and the lady sewed it for me!! What a great service. They took care of a taxi, which they called for me the next day. Wonderful place, next to supermarket and restaurants. Quite zone. Close to the airport. The price is worth it. I recommend it for women who travel alone. It is a safe area and the hotel is secure.

    Wonderful, kind and very helpful staff. My husband and I especially enjoyed their balanced and complete breakfast which was included in the price. As the name indicates, the hotel was built in 1915, and had a very cozy and interesting atmosphere. It was close to the center of the city of Alajuela, and conveniently it was only 2 1/2 miles from the international airport.

    Near airport, good shuttle service. A budget hotel, very clean but hot water in the bedroom only in the shower, not the sink. Staff friendly. Breakfast basic, eggs were overcooked. Near a mall which has all sorts of food shops. As the price indicates, this is a budget hotel. For a nights' stay it works. Any longer, I wouldn't recommend it.

    We needed a hotel near the airport. All other options were booked. We found Airport Costa Rica B&B through the Maps app and took a chance on one of the “lesser-known” establishments that seemed highly rated. I’m really glad we did, because this place was fantastic, and just a few minutes from the airport.
