Holiday Inn Express San Jose Airport, an IHG Hotel, hotel in Alajuela City

Situated just 1.5 km from San Jose Airport, this modern hotel offers a free 24-hour airport shuttle, an outdoor pool and a gym. The bright rooms include free Wi-Fi and cable TV.

Check in was easy. Only waited for 10 mins for the shuttle, took 6 mins to check in and that was with a room switch, as my legs were sore, I didn’t want to be upstairs. So, they gave me a room on the main level, very close to the lobby. Excellent service. Room cost more than I wanted to pay, but it was close to the airport and I had a flight the next morning. So worked out paying 30 more overnight.

Hotel 1915 INN & SUITES, hotel in Alajuela City

Hotel 1915 Inn & Suites is a beautiful 20th century colonial home.Located just 5 minutes away from the Juan Santa Maria International Airport in Alajuela downtown.

Staff were very friendly and welcoming. The whole building has been adapted to a hotel without losing the feel of a family-owned home with cozy nooks and crannies as well as a cute little courtyard where breakfast is served. The breakfast menu offered local and American style breakfast with fresh juice, good coffee and a nice fruit plate. The room was quiet and comfortable with a nice firm mattress on the bed and constant hot water.

Hotel Aeropuerto, hotel in Alajuela City

Surrounded by native trees and gardens, this hotel is next to Pan American Highway, 4 km from Juan Santamaría International Airport. It offers a pool and free airport shuttle.

Love this place! It's got a post-colonial/Graham Greene/Early Bond vibe going on. The kind of place where the CIA would meet shady local informants to do deals but in very cool surroundings. It's totally incongruous as well, off what is essentially a loud, busy ring road there's this oasis of calm and cool. Think wood paneling, low lighting with a scattering of objects d'art around and maybe a martini or two and you've got the vibe. Awesome place and would 100% recommend.

Situated in Alajuela City, 31 km from Poas National Park, Hacienda Escondida 10min to Airport features accommodation with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a garden and a terrace.

Excellent value for money, lovely swimming pool & garden. Close to airport and a short drive to Alajuela but I very much recommend Bar Morales which is a 2min walk offering local food & drinks. I def recommend for starting or ending your travels in CR.

    Alajuela is a nice area to spend a night or two.

    Alajuela is a nice area to spend a night or two. There are plenty of restaurants and stores around the area. The prices are fairly reasonable and that is a good thing since Costa Rica is more on the expensive side. The are also seems pretty safe.

    This is very close to SJO Airport. Great for before or after flights for that reason (I stayed after and before flights). Alajuela street layout is easy to navigate. Tons of restaurants and shops in the vicinity.

    I think most travelers would not spend more than two nights in Alajuela- 1 inbound and 1 outbound. I spent 5+2 nights in Alajuela while I was getting ready for my family members' visits spread over a few days. Our "suburban" enclave was up-to-date with modern facilities, and close to Alajuela near the Freeway 1. The location where we stayed was "authentic" with a tiny super, a cute bakery, a soda, and the most delightful neighbors. I could almost stay to learn the language. :0

    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.

    The best Hotel! All was clean, nicely done and prepared. The owners are super helpful and friendly. My bag was damaged and the lady sewed it for me!! What a great service. They took care of a taxi, which they called for me the next day. Wonderful place, next to supermarket and restaurants. Quite zone. Close to the airport. The price is worth it. I recommend it for women who travel alone. It is a safe area and the hotel is secure.

    It was a good typical breakfast. The pool was lovely and the view spectacular. The staff were friendly. Not their issue that the rooms shown when booking are not the room given on arrival. They are doing their best. This place has huge potential if managed correctly. Money needs to be invested. The Mirador del Valle restaurant is 300 meters from hotel. Same gorgeous view, excellent service and the food was amazing.
