I ended up staying this hotel after looking for hostel that would offer inclusive early morning transportation. I chose a dorm room, at $17 and with an inclusive taxi ride to the airport the next day. At first, I was surprised by the outside appearance of the hotel as it looks nothing like the photos! However, it was easy to... More

We found this B&B via friends recommendation and liked our stay very much. The Innkeeper are very friendly, professional and forthcoming. The rooms are very tidy and clean, the price is absolutely fair, the breakfast is inclusive. The location in Alajuela is absolutely perfect, 5min walking distance to the center, while it still being very quiet location. We can absolutely... More

I recommend this place if you have a short stay and me to be close to the airport. The rooms are clean, the staff is friendly and it only is a 5 dollar ride to the airport. Please visit the nearby Cathedral in the park and museum to learn more about the history of this part of San Jose.

I booked through hostelbookers this Hotel, paying my 10% of the booking and expecting to have my double room upon arrival. When I arrived they seemed to have never hears about my booking and instead of having a private double room I could have a bed in a shared room. Apparently they charged me almost 50% more than the actual... More

I stayed one night in a room with two single beds that had a shared bathroom next door. The inn was clean, and the (small) staff was friendly and helpful. The beds didn't look comfortable, but it turns out I had no problem.The room included a TV and a fan, but no air conditioning, so keep that in mind if... More

Easily accessible from the airport ( $5 cab ride) and from central San Jose ( ~$1 for the pubic bus which runs frequently, or ~$20 by cab...which we took after arriving in San Jose late at night). Found the staff very helpful... More
