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 - 6.0Scored 6.0

Quite noisy and a bit dirty. People are nice, but food was a disappointment - it was almost impossible to find fresh vegetarian food that hadn’t been processed. Everything was fried in grease and had meat in it.RitvanenFinland - 10Scored 10

- From $70.54 per night8.3Scored 8.3Very GoodRated very good· 676 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 - 9.5Scored 9.5ExceptionalRated exceptional· 47 reviewsDon Carlos Place was the best reservation I have ever had on Booking. The hosts (Carmen & Felix) were communicative and they met us in person at the property to greet us, give the keys, give a tour, and explain the rules. They were wonderful, flexible, and easy to communicate with. Easy check-in. Safe, quite location. Very close to central Alajuela and a 10 minute drive to the airport. The place was spacious, clean, and comfortable. It was extremely well stocked with spices in the kitchen, snacks, and thoughtful amenities.Luke GulbrandUnited States of America
- From $28.25 per night8.4Scored 8.4Very GoodRated very good· 521 reviewsMy partner and I stayed here before our early flight from the SJO airport, and it was very convenient for this purpose, as well as cheaper than most hotels around. It's a shared house where you get your own bedroom but share bathrooms and a really nice looking kitchen. You can't walk to the airport, it's not that close, but Ubers were easy to get at around 6am and took about 10 min. We had late check in and early check out, and cleared this with the host beforehand, who were nothing but helpful.JohanneNorway
- From $56.25 per night8.9Scored 8.9ExcellentRated excellent· 1,081 reviewsThe staff was very welcoming and kind. The hotel has a nice atmosphere, inside and outside space to chill or have breakfast. My room was super tidy and clean, AC, large shower. I used the transport from the hotel to the airport as well, which was convenient and only 5 dollars. A lot cheaper and felt safer then most taxi's. It was an ideal place to stay a night if you want to be close to the airport. Would definitely come here again if I need a stay in San José.EsmeeNetherlands
- From $38.42 per night7.9Scored 7.9GoodRated good· 989 reviewsWe stayed for the first 2 nights of our trip and the last night before leaving Costa Rica. The hotel staff were lovely and could not have been more helpful. The hotel location is very convenient for the airport and a central place for wandering around Alajuela, finding restaurants, etc. The garden dining area was a pleasant place to relax, and the breakfast was delicious (the best Gallo pinto of our trip).AlisonUnited Kingdom
