Great hostel for a night stay in Alajuela, close to the airport and to the bus terminal. Friendly staff, free coffee in the morning even if breakfast isn't included. Hot water available, clean rooms, great bar/restaurant with a view on the 4th floor. Would definitely recommend!
Landing at the airport at night, we stayed in this city until morning because it is close. San jose is much further away. We only used this town so we would not be travelling around costa rica at night. Night life in alajuela was a little scary, but during the day it was much mre comfortable. Public bus in alajuela took us straight to la fortuna the next morning. It is smarter to stay in alajuela verse san jose if you need short accomodations for travel to and from airport.
Alajuela is the best place to stay when arriving or leaving San Jose. Getting to the town center is a little difficult, just because of traffic. However, the taxi drivers are helpful and fair. It can be challenging finding a place to eat in the evening, but we found some good food in a coffee shop about 2 blocks off the center. The plaza was lively with families and a marimba band.
We spent 3 nights at a comfortable hotel relaxing after 6 weeks travelling around Costa Rica and Nicaragua. Alajuela is not a tourist town but it does have an international airport.
Alajuela has nothing to offer for tourist, even the exhibition at the only museum was closed. It is very convenient to and fro to the airport and maybe a day to visit the poas vulcano and the chocolate or coffee tour
Alajuela is a nicer city than San Jose. People feel safe to walk the streets there even at night. It is only a $6 taxi ride to or from the airport and buses are even less costly. We didn't do much there except to rest, eat dinner that night and breakfast the next morning and prepare to fly back to the states the next day. There are several parks around the city that help to break up the side by side buildings, noise and heavy traffic with green and tranquility.
We based our first and last nights here as it is close to the airport and Volcan Poas. I have visited Costa Rica before and last time I went to San Jose from the airport - this time was a much better plan! Alajuela is much more of a local town and a lot less hectic than SJO, no need to go that extra distance to the capital when you can get everywhere from here, and taxi transfers can pick you up at Dennys near the airport to go off to other places in Costa Rica, so no need to even go to the big city at all if you want a totally city-free holiday. We didnt have time to look around the town itself, but we did stay in a brilliant little budget hotel on the way to Poas.
If you have a late afternoon or evening arrival flight, or an early departure flight, Alajuela is the perfect location to stay for starting or ending your Costa Rican travels. It's only a few minute cab or shuttle ride from SJO. Getting to or from central San Jose can take an hour or more. I highly recommend Resturante Monteleone - down the street from Hotel Cortez Azul. It offered the best meal of our 2 week trip and Deb and I didn't mind spending $70.00 US (included tip) on meals, drinks (4), desert & coffee as we practiced our Spanish with Ronald, our delightful waiter.
I like the free airport shuttle and the hot showers. I didn't like the general vibe of the hostel. There were no comfortable common spaces and no kitchen. Alajuela, in my opinion, isn't a place I'd visit unless I have a very late arriving flight or early morning departing flight.
Visited Alajuela for an afternoon before flying home. Wouldn't go specially but it's very close to airport and much closer and cheaper to get to than San Jose
Alajuela City
We enjoyed the apartment so much that we ended up extending our stay for one extra night. Adrian was very welcoming and efficient when I arrived. Then Olga was extremely caring and friendly for the rest of our stay. Both of them gave us lots of tips and helped us with transportation to interesting places and the airport. We found the flat cozy and very clean with lots of attention to detail. It contains everything you need and more for a comfortable stay. The location is quiet in a residential area, but close to Alajuela center.
Alajuela City
The location is very close to the airport. Patricia was able to pick me up and help orient me to taking a bus to Monteverde. She went above and beyond to help out. In the morning her and Alexander made breakfast, a delicious typical Costa Rican breakfast! Delicious and filling. It's the perfect spot near the airport or to check out Alajuela. The room is simple but comfortable and clean. Private bathroom and comfy bed. I plan on staying there again!!
The room was quiet and naturally chilled in a historic building meaningfully adjacent to the city center of Alajuela. The architecture took lighting into consideration to brighten up the rooms using daylight reflecting off the walls. The staff paid attention to the food and personally cared about the property. The fruit salad and the veggie egg scramble were perfectly made. The breakfast in the beautiful courtyard was great for starting the day.
Great location for airport and for visiting the former capital of Alajuela (well worth it). Lovely small pool area and separate restaurant area with good food. Great to have an owner who cares about birds and who goes out of his way to attract birds to the sizeable garden. Regular haunt for birdwatchers on their way in or out of Costa Rica with free (morning) airport shuttle.
Alajuela City
Perfect structure next to the airport to start and/or conclude the trip in Costarica. The Alajuela quarter where the hotel is located is nice, typical. Good to visit if you have some part of the initial/final day in Costarica. Owners are kind and very well organized (also with social media) and can help you, about the transport from/to the airport. Very good
Alajuela City
I think the highlight of my stay at Alajuela Backpackers was the staff, they were helpful, friendly and flexible which was greatly appreciated as I made several mistakes with my booking. I also tried the restaurant which provided quick and tasty food. Overall I greatly enjoyed my stay at the hostel and would recommend it handily if staying in a private room.
Alajuela City
The apartment's location is excellent, just a few meters away from shops and restaurants. You can walk from the apartment to Alajuela's downtown in just under 15 minutes and the trip from the airport is short, Damaris the caretaker was super friendly the whole time, she was always around if I needed anything. Overall it was a great experience.
Alajuela City
Uber ride from the apartment to the airport took less than 10 minutes. Located in a quiet, safe neighborhood in walking distance to downtown Alajuela. Apartment was spacious, clean, and had a washing machine and three comfy beds. Olga was exceptionally kind and ensured that we had everything we needed and more, e.g. coffee, creamer, and snacks too!
Grecia
Away from the hustle and bustle of Alajuela in a country setting. Parking and a restaurant on site. Restaurant was decent and reasonably priced. Owner was friendly and helpful. Room was pretty large and the bed was softer than the norm in Costa Rica. All in all a good place for us to spend an extra night while waiting for our luggage to arrive.
My stay at Fairfield by Marriott San Jose Airport Alajuela was fantastic. The staff were welcoming and efficient, the room was clean and comfortable, and the location was convenient for airport access. The complimentary breakfast was a delightful addition. Highly recommend this hotel for a pleasant stay in Alajuela.
The dome was so fun to stay in and the family that hosted us was so accommodating!!! They shuttled us to the poas volcano, the la Paz Waterfall, and into alajuela to our next hotel! We ordered food from them night 1 and it was delicious. All around it was a wonderful experience for us and we highly recommend it!
Alajuela City

Alajuela City

A good value stay close to the airport in the central part of Alajuela. Staff was very nice and extremely helpful. Continental breakfast was fine. Found the hostel to be very clean. Excellent wifi and they brought a chair and desk to my room so I could work remotely.
