This lovely family run vintage hotel is just minutes from the airport by taxi. The staff are super friendly and helpful, eager to provide any service they can. It is like staying with friends. Don’t expect air con, you won’t need it anyway, do expect a delightful breakfast, delicious coffee, comfortable beds, and smiles and courtesy from everyone who works there.

I chose this hotel for its location. I only stayed for one night, however if I ever plan a few days in the city this is where I will stay. The property is really lovely. The historic house is a unique stand alone property that is a stand out in it's location. The staff is phenomenal and so was the food! The ambiance and cleanliness were excellent. You can get fresh coffee at 6 am and the cook shows up to prepare your desayuno fresh around 7.... Thank you Dudley, Diego and the beautiful cook in the kitchen. I'm sorry I forgot to get your name. I'll see you next time!

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

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.
