Good place, Good service
Pros: clean, good service, good breakfast, good location, comfortable. Cons: no safe in my room (although I never felt my stuff were in any danger) but still, room 7 overlooks breakfast courtyard area which is also used for relaxing by guests, makes it a bit tough to sleep in.

Nice quaint hotel in alajuela
This hotel is quaint and lovely right by the Central Park in alajuela. There are several restaurants but not a ton. To see and do in the are. The staff were amazing and breakfast was very good. We had a superior room so our own bathroom and a/c.

Clean, Helpful Staff
The hotel is the best place to stay upon arriving from the airport at night. Breakfast was delicious. The staff was helpful with directions and recommendations. There's no free parking, but you can park behind the block for a fee. There's restaurants within the block.

Quaint hotel in the heart of Alajuela
It's always a pleasure staying there. Smaller rooms, some have shared bathrooms, but the building is nice and well maintained. I think it's the staff that make the stay exceptional though; friendly, helpful service and always available to make your stay safe and comfortable. Be sure to have breakfast there if you can.

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

10/10 Exceptional

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.
