Alajuela hotels & accommodations

Pool was so freezing that our kids cried. We had reserved 2 nights based on the pool so was a major disappointment. The gym only had 3 pieces of equipment and a few weight balls. Would be nice to have another treadmill (we waited multiple times) and some free weights. The staff was amazing- very helpful and friendly. The breakfast is also one of the best I’ve seen as f...

FIRST time staying at Hotel Mango. Chose it because of close proximity to SJO Airport as my sister had an early morning flight the next day. We had stayed up the street at the Holiday Inn Express upon arrival to San Jose and liked the location but decided to find something more affordable. Hotel Mango is a smaller, gated property. Much more quaint and Tico style t...

this hostel is very cute and sweet decorated. we felt comfortable and the stuff was very friendly (though he couldnt speak english and couldnt help with our bustravelling, but he tried :)). so we staied there for 1 night and it was def. okay for that

This was just a resting point as we arrived late at night. It's nothing fancy but is close to the hotel so convenient. Nice little back court yard to have a basic breakfast in. I was concerned about children staying in a top bunk bed with no safety rail. This seems to be a common feature in Costa Rica however.

the hotel is close to the airport and served its purpose of letting stay near the hotel for my flight the next day. the staff was helpful, and when english was an issue their use of google translator was inventive and served its purpose. the shower was poor at best, but the room was small but clean with fresh linens. it was worth the cost, but if you are lookin...

We stayed for one night after a late arrival flight. Unfortunatly the free hotel shuttle service was till 11pm, this was not reported on the website or booking site, so we had to take a taxi. The next day we used the free shuttle service to get to the busstation. Staff was nice and helpfull.

The staff here is exceptional. I needed a comfortable spot to rest when I arrived from the airport and this was exactly what I needed. Only minutes away from the airport and when I arrived it was a mini oasis. Very secure, clean and quiet. Breakfast is served until 10 am and was terrific.

We reserved a room and when we went to check in the manager said told us there was no way he could give us that room for the amount we reserved it for. The room was incredibly noisy and we were all awake by 5:45 am because of the street noise. This place is ghetto and not worth the money. Stay at the Holiday Inn or Sheraton.

We needed a few hours of sleep before a very early flight and this met our needs. Our room was at the front and close to the street so it was noisy and it was a difficult balance between closing the windows for quiet but hot or opening for a cool breeze with noise. Bathroom was a bit claustrophobic, but overall worked for our purposes. Hostesses was very nice and helpf...
