This is very close to SJO Airport.
This is very close to SJO Airport. Great for before or after flights for that reason (I stayed after and before flights). Alajuela street layout is easy to navigate. Tons of restaurants and shops in the vicinity.

I think most travelers would not spend more than two nights in Alajuela- 1 inbound and 1 outbound. I spent 5+2 nights in Alajuela while I was getting ready for my family members' visits spread over a few days. Our "suburban" enclave was up-to-date with modern facilities, and close to Alajuela near the Freeway 1. The location where we stayed was "authentic" with a tiny super, a cute bakery, a soda, and the most delightful neighbors. I could almost stay to learn the language. :0

I stayed pretty close to a large shopping mall--just a few blocks away--so the restaurant options were great. I ate at "Mahalo"--great poke! The house is within a few miles of the airport, so getting there only cost 3 colones, and I took a Tuasa bus (for about two dollars) to get to Alajuela from downtown San Jose. The only "negative" is that there were traffic sounds, but they settled down when it got later. I would definitely stay in Alajuela again. I felt completely safe walking back alone at night after dinner.

The area is fun and easy to get around.
The area is fun and easy to get around. There are many small stores, but no good supermarkets. TONS of cafes and fast food places, so getting something to eat is easy. I'd go there again, but there's not a ton to do unless you enjoy sitting in parks, which I do.GenesisCanada - 8.0Scored 8.0

It’s the best location to stay on your first night,...
It’s the best location to stay on your first night, especially if you arrive in the evening and don’t have an “all inclusive“ vacation booked; and best location for your last night in Costa Rica, due to the proximity to the airport. Be warned, the red taxis are really expensive and Uber drivers are allowed to drop you off at the airport, but are not allowed to pick you up from the airport. Most places that offer accommodation, also offer a pickup service from the airport. Take it. The closer to the airport, the cheaper they get; prices start at $5 and could get to $35, $40 US dollars , depending on the distance to the airport. Most rental cars offices are around the airport, so, look for a place to stay not too far away from the airport and one that offers drop off to a rental car office. If not, it’s always an Uber driver available. The closer to the airport, the better, for first and last night stay, because driving in the city could take a veeeeeery long time. If you have time, walk the streets of Alajuela, people are very friendly and ready to help. Be very careful, the water tranches along the pedestrian walkways, are very deep, and the holes on the uneven pavement are deep as well, but definitely go to the city’s fresh market; it is a very interesting experience. Make sure you calculate well the prices, from corones into dollars, lots of vendors will try to take advantage of you, if you don’t pay attention. You can pay in US dollars everywhere, except for buses (long distance or local buses); the dollar bills must be pristine, one little tear anywhere on the bill, will be refused. All in all is a nice city full of hustle and bustle, with lots of cars and people, with little parks with amazing trees, lots of perrots, delicious fresh fruits and gelatosAAnonymous

- From € 63.02 per night8.3Scored 8.3Very goodRated very good· 690 reviewsHeather 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.AnnaëlNetherlands
- From € 229.80 per night9.0Scored 9.0SuperbRated superb· 471 reviewsI loved the fact that’s it’s a resort but it’s in the nature and not crowded, like a boutique resort. Wonderful room, amazing view, nice environment and atmosphere. Good breakfast with a view. You can hike to waterfalls from the hotel, inside the resort ! And there is a little farm with animals, my child loved it. Not far away from the airport so that’s very convenient when we arrive/depart from San Jose and there are plenty of things to do around, including visiting the volcan Poas.CeciliaFrance

The pool looked nice. We left too early to be able to participate in breakfast, but the space looked comfy and clean. Best part for me was a BATHTUB!! and the water was hot!!! Super for the weary traveler! The hotel gave us good recommendations for dinner and convenient store. The 4am shuttle was right on time. Very nice airport stop!AAnonymousGermany

They told us to take an Orange official taxi , the cost and distance to the hotel. It cost 7$. Would be cheaper if paid in CRC. The taxi driver waited until the hotel door was unlocked and we were able to go in. Quiet hotel. Comfortable bed. Good cooking facilities. Nice seating area. Banks in town. Claro shop to buy a sim. Breakfast in cafe opposite good.

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.KingUnited States
- From € 105.97 per night8.1Scored 8.1Very goodRated very good· 654 reviewsHotel Aeropuerto is the perfect stopping off place when you’re heading to or from the airport. Sure the rooms are dated and the facilities a little old school, but the lovely little pool is fantastic and the biggest surprise was the restaurant, el Dirigo. The delicious food and microbrewery beer and kombucha were quite frankly the best part of our short stay.SarahUnited States

I wasn't disappointed - it's a short taxi ride from the airport and was relatively cheap compared to many San Jose hotels. Although the staff didn't speak much English, we managed to understand each other. Breakfast was good and the staff were helpful.
