his Guesthouse is a little Gem tucked away in the heart of the city but without the noise. Property was extremely clean, with all the necessities needed for a great stay. Room was perfect and breakfast was really good. The grounds were well kept and clean. Prices are very affordable. Check in was seamless with Fernando. Nothing requested was too much - All staffs were very accommodating. Breakfast included - prepared fresh and cooked to order upon arrival at the restaurant. The Owner Mr. Henderson was extremely personable and greeted all guests. We enjoyed our time there although too short. If you’re looking for affordable prices, a quiet place, superb service then this little Gem is ideal for your stay. We will definitely stay again. Thank you for a phenomenal stay and the outstanding customer service that was provided by all staffs that we encountered during our stay.

Hidden Gem

Great hotel with amazing staff, excellent breakfast and comfortable room - awesome hot shower too. They arranged a great tour of Poas volcano, waterfalls and coffee farm for us. Our tour guide Ricardo was so knowledgeable and generous with his time. We highly recommend this hotel in the heart of Alajuela!

Great hotel with excellent staff and tour guide!

Alajuela City Hotel is a perfect little place to stay near the airport. It's clean and comfortable, with a friendly helpful staff. Unlike an expensive sterile hotel, it is a bit like overnighting with family. Alajuela City Hotel has great security without the walls and gates that make you feel trapped, like in some other nearby hotels. Charles, Heather, Carlos and other staff, make you feel at home, provide a delicious homemade breakfast, good coffee and will assist you with any of your needs. I love the little courtyard that attracts gorgeous birds in the morning, who accompany guests with amazing coffee and homemade banana muffins.

A Little Bit of Home in Alajuela

Our trip was not planned. We spent a week in Puerto Viejo. Our flight was canceled in San Jose for 2 days so we searched for somewhere to spend our time and found Alajuela City Suites online. We called from the airport and were pleased to meet Carlos. When we got there, he was so exuberant, friendly and positive. He never balked to help us figure out the little things. That dude is amazing! Additionally, we were very impressed with the hotel itself. Very clean, accommodating, super cute. pleasantly intimate in that we were not overrun with throngs of tourists and it is  central to lots of shopping and activities. We spent a wonderful afternoon in the Plaza with music. dancing and delicious food. Although our stay there was by accident, we would stay again in an instant. You will not be disappointed.

Definitely stay at Alajuela City Hotel and Guest House!

We stayed at the Guest House on our trip to southwestern Costa Rica, both on our trip in and our trip out. An extremely pleasant experience, owners are wonderful to work with arranging a late arrival and also with arranging a tour of the Poas volcano and other regional sightseeing. The breakfasts are a great start to your day, and the little garden area is very pleasant. An oasis in the busy city, great place to stay! Make sure to note the hotel address when catching a cab from the airport, there is another hotel with a similar name that can be confusing.

Wonderful oasis in the city!

This is a very pleasant in-town guest house within easy waling distance of the main square/park in Alajuela.  Old photos on the walls suggest that it was once a family home. It has retained its charm and intimacy as a boutique hotel.  The staff are very helpful with directing you to good places to eat (all within walking distance), eco-excursions, taxis, etc.  The included breakfast is wonderful. 

A perfect place for a stay upon  arriving or departing San Jose Airport

The Alajuela City Hotel and Guest House is a little oasis in the middle of this sweet city.  The quiet center courtyard with flowering trees and fountain is the best place to enjoy the included delicious breakfast!  Beds comfortable, rooms clean, staff friendly and ever so helpful with anything you need in English or Spanish.  The city museum, cathedral, town square and market are all in the same neighborhood.  We found inexpensive restaurants within walking distance.  The staff can even set up tours right from the hotel.  We will always stay here just 10 minutes from the SJO airport vs going all the way to the big, dirty, less safe city of San Jose!    Casey and Dan

Alajuela City Hotel is the Best!

Sweet little place, easy to find in a cute neighborhood with shops and restaurants.  
Staff were great.  Immediately felt like home.  Safe Parking on the same block cheap. Our room with ceiling fan, a/c and queen bed was $84 and the big international chain hotels wanted $200.  No thanks.

Just do it

We spend our first day in Cost Rica here.
It’s a great central place in Alajuela, closely located at the airport.
Since it is located central it’s also a great spot to arrange some stuff for the rest of your vacation, like a rental car, cash or a SIM card.
The owners and the staff are very helpful and try their best to assist you.
We experienced this to be very helpful and comforting.

The owners bought this right before COVID and it’s impressive to see how they managed, and are managing to keep it running and be nice. 
NOTE: most of the bad/worse reviews seems to be before this owner bought the place, good thing to keep in mind.

We felt very at home at this place, we loved it and would definitely recommend it!

Cosy hotel and great hosts!

This is a great place to stay in Alejuela City.  Avoid the chain hotels and try this instead.  It's got character.  At breakfast you can sit in a beautiful courtyard and see wild parrots in the trees.  The couple who own the hotel are very friendly and interesting to talk to.  They are detail oriented and it shows in the quality of the accomodations.
