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

I only walked around the immediate area of the hotel . I had no need to explore the town as I had a demanding schedule upon arrival and prior to departure . This was just super convenient to the airport.MarcoPacoUnited States of America - 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.RitvanenCosta Rica - 10Scored 10

A horrible crowded traffic-glutted ugly town, which however has a great bookstore - Goodlight books - and a noisy rather grim organic cafe called Chante with really good food and vegan ice cream, but the traffic outside is awful. Rorro's Mexican restaurant was warm-hearted and fun but lots of fried stuff and the veggie tacos were horrible, with rubbery eggplant. The french fries were awful compared to the ones at Chante. My friend found driving in Alajuela a nightmare.Irene Z KUnited Kingdom

- From $99.99 per night7.9Scored 7.9GoodRated good· 3,225 reviewsGreat location. The beds were comfy and soft and clean. The cute balcony had outdoor grass carpet and was comfy with great views. The pool looked nice. We left too early to be able to participate in breakfast, but the space looked comfy and clean. Best part for me was a BATHTUB!! and the water was hot!!! Super for the weary traveler! The hotel gave us good recommendations for dinner and convenient store. The 4am shuttle was right on time. Very nice airport stop!AAnonymousGermany
- From $131.08 per night8.0Scored 8.0Very GoodRated very good· 1,269 reviewsDespite the busy road just in front of the hotel - and the airport within its direct vicinity, you barely notice this all when you enter the hotel and hit for its poolside area. Planes didn't fly over during the night (they did from 7 am and were quite loud :D) so the night was perfect. Breakfast was spot-on, right what we remembered from our last trip to Costa Rica 12 years ago, very tastful gallo pinto and the best pancakes for our kids.
NilsBelgium - From $128.82 per night8.6Scored 8.6ExcellentRated excellent· 441 reviewsHotel Robledal is one of our go-to's when it comes to the airport in San Jose. It's comfortable there, clean, and it's easy to get to or from the airport with the free shuttle. There are several people on staff that I enjoy seeing. The gardens and little pond are refreshing and the pool is just enough for a nice dip or a little fun with the family. You can find cheaper places but they won't be as convenient or relaxing.
Jack - From $65 per night8.1Scored 8.1Very GoodRated very good· 790 reviewsWonderful, kind and very helpful staff. My husband and I especially enjoyed their balanced and complete breakfast which was included in the price. As the name indicates, the hotel was built in 1915, and had a very cozy and interesting atmosphere. It was close to the center of the city of Alajuela, and conveniently it was only 2 1/2 miles from the international airport.KingUnited States of America
- From $56.25 per night8.9Scored 8.9ExcellentRated excellent· 1,073 reviewsThis is a great place to spend the last/first night close to SJO airport. Checkin/out is so quick! The place is located in the center of Alajuela, but there’s plenty of parking space around in case you’ll arrive by car. The rooms are spacious and comfy, I also liked the hotel style a lot. Best part is Esteban, he’s such a nice person! Would defo recommend.MarcGermany
- From $146.90 per night8.5Scored 8.5Very GoodRated very good· 2,173 reviewsFree shuttle from the airport. When you arrive in San Jose late at night, this hotel is your best bet, because it is only 5 minutes away from the airport, and you don’t have to drive at night, which can sometimes be challenging in SanJose, especially if this is your first time in the country. And it is only a short walk away to various car rental companies.VictorCanada
- From $73.45 per night8.9Scored 8.9ExcellentRated excellent· 651 reviewsWe needed a hotel near the airport. All other options were booked. We found Airport Costa Rica B&B through the Maps app and took a chance on one of the “lesser-known” establishments that seemed highly rated.
