What Lonely Planet, latest edition, (2011) says about us :
**************************************
This brand-new 21-room inn facing the Parque de los Niños is less a hostel than a full-blown hotel equipped with a smattering of dormitory rooms. An interior atrium is draped in plants and a 4th floor bean bag lounge offers a prime opportunity to sip beers while watching the planes take off at the international airport in the distance.

Dormitories are wonderfully uncluttered ( only four people to a room ) and each come with their own bathroom , while the private rooms are graceful, decorated in serene earth tones and equipped with cable TV and double-pane windows.

More expensive junior suites have plasma TV and comfy king-sized bed.
Plus there is wi-fi all over the hotel .

We are the author's choice as the best budget option in Alajuela for plenty of reasons, but just to put it in a few words : We know what you want and that is : good , cheap and great money value and that is what we have waiting for you so book now !!

A perfect place for an overnight stay before flying out. The airport shuttle was on time and the reason to stay here. Such good value for money. The shared dorm was simple with small bunk beds you can’t sit up in and bathrooms without any hand soap. But it was fine. Would stay again for the 4am airport shuttle.

A great value stay, close to SJO. They provide a free shuttle a few times per day. Great food and drinks nearby. Staff is very friendly and spoke English very well. The beds are very comfort well in the private rooms. The only down was no hot water for a shower. But overall I would definitely stay here again. Great value for the $$
