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 !!

No kitchen, no lockers in the dorm, no hand soap in the bathrooms. It’s cheap and really the only reason I stayed here was for the free airport transfer they offered which to the hostel’s credit was well facilitated. I’d choose a different place next time that has a kitchen and maybe free breakfast

Very modern hostel, clean but the bathroom was out of toilet paper when we arrived. Also found it weird that the shuttles to the airport ended at 11:30 AM! We ended up waiting at the airport for 12hrs because there were no later shuttle options.
