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.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.
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

- From £51.39 per night8.2Scored 8.2Very GoodRated very good· 829 reviewsHotel 1915 is a beautiful, clean, and authentic hotel in central Alajuela about 10 minutes from the airport. We chose this location because we wanted to be somewhere safe and pleasant near the airport while also being able to walk around central Alajuela, where there are plentiful restaurants and shops. Hotel 1915 was perfect! The staff was extremely nice and helped us book taxis. Everything was clean and simple. The water was hot. The common spaces in the hotel are beautiful and authentic. Overall, this is a wonderful spot!GrantUnited States of America
- From £44.67 per night8.5Scored 8.5Very GoodRated very good· 230 reviewsI don't think you can get closer accommodation to the airport for the price. This was my first night in Costa rica and did not understand how they used the toilets but it's a norm so educate yourself. The shower was a first as the shower head doubles as a heater with live electricity in the shower, which too is a norm in Costa Rica. There is a local shop just beneath the stay that sold me the best chicken burger I've had. This place is for a convenience traveller that don't need the bells and whistles like a hotel.FrancoisUnited States of America
- From £62.54 per night7.7Scored 7.7GoodRated good· 594 reviewsThe view is amazing, the staff was very helpful as well as the owner, Rocío. She helped us changed our apartment so we could have a view. If you are a runner, you will really enjoy the uphills and the panorama. There's a small town near by where you can purchase stuff to have in your apartment, there are also sodas (small, cheap "restaurants") and three restaurants close to the hotel. We really enjoyed our time there and we will definitely visit it again.Katherinne SanchezCosta Rica

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.
PetraGermany - From £51.39 per night8.2Scored 8.2Very GoodRated very good· 829 reviewsWe were doing the whole "just flying in and passing through" thing for Alajuela but still wanted to visit the city, and this was a perfect choice for our short stay. We couldn't ask for a better location (couple minutes from town center) and the hotel itself was inviting and comfortable. The breakfast was a highlight on both mornings, in a cute sheltered open air space and delicious with fresh fruits and cooked rice/beans/eggs.JackieCanada
- From £67 per night7.9Scored 7.9GoodRated good· 838 reviewsThe hotel was centrally located and close the airport. If you want to walk around downtown Alajuela, the location is great. It's in the middle of the city and noise is to be expected. However, when I woke up shortly after midnight on a Saturday it was quiet. However, by 5 a.m. you could hear cars tearing down the street.
