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.

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.

There’s several things to consider before booking this Hotel , this is not only a hotel it also runs like a Hostel , so if you don’t look very well in the description of the rooms , some of there rooms don’t have a private bathroom and no Tv , so it was a surprise for me because I thought I was booking a hotel, it’s very important for people that want to stay there to be very sure what room is that you are getting, also there’s no parking at the property you have to look for a parking place and pay , but it’s around the corner which is the positive side, the place is clean but if your looking for a nice place that’s quiet and have no hassles I don’t recommend staying in this Hotel/ Hostel , description of the amenities is not accurate, it is convenient the area because you can walk to restaurants and places

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.

This lovely family run vintage hotel is just minutes from the airport by taxi. The staff are super friendly and helpful, eager to provide any service they can. It is like staying with friends. Don’t expect air con, you won’t need it anyway, do expect a delightful breakfast, delicious coffee, comfortable beds, and smiles and courtesy from everyone who works there.

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!
