The property was nice and staff very friendly. The building was older and in good condition. There was not A/C which was okay with the windows opened. The tall room doors had ventilation openings at the top of them which opened to the main hallway. This was nice for airflow but unfortunately also lets sound travel from the hall to the room. Breakfast was very good and there were quite a few shops and restaurants in the area. It was a good value for money overall and an easy trip from the airport.

I would say it's more like 4.5 stars. The room was small but spotless and fit our family of 4. Comfortable beds. Check-in was easy and the staff was pleasant and very nice. Breakfast was delicious, and set in a cute little courtyard. We easily took an Uber to the airport for a reasonable cost. The cons: no A/C, so we opened the window, but there were no screens so I got bug bites (just me, no one else) and the cars on the street were kind of noisy. But given the price of the room, you can't complain - you could just put on some bug spray and bring some earplugs if you're a light sleeper!

A hidden gem. The doors don't keep out any noise, so it is quite loud with noise from within and without. Other than that it is very clean, the breakfast is delicious. A very neat little place.

A great little place in Alajuela with wonderful tucked away rooms off a small courtyard and the best staff. When we had to cancel at last minute, they were so gracious, and when we arrived for a second visit we found the place tranquil and serene. The access to the airport is very good via taxi as well.

Great spot to rest San Jose

Cute location that had everything we needed. Rooms were clean, shower was hot, and it was a short walking distances to nice restaurants. Staff was helpful and friendly. We met a traveler from Europe who comes to Costa Rica a lot and this is the only place she stays! Note that the parking spot isn't very big if you have a rental car.

Great location in the heart of Alajuela. The hotel arranged a tour to Volcano Poas and area for us. It was fantastic. Great location near the museum, public parks, market and many dining options close by. Easy to walk anywhere in town. 10 minutes from the airport.

This is quaint historic hotel in the heart of the city. Easy walking to the museum and Central Park. It is like an oasis within the city. The staff is attentive and the rooms are clean and quiet. Breakfast is wonderful. Ask about parking as the city is very congested. Definitely recommended!

Great experience! Fabulous hospitality!

I had a fantastic 1 night stay at Alajuela City Hotel & Guest House! The hospitality and customer service was unmatched from the second I walked up the stairs. I felt very at home and was so impressed that they had my made-to-order breakfast ready for me before my early am departure. Definitely recommend for a stay near SJO.
