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 - 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 £66.74 per night8.7Scored 8.7FabulousRated fabulous· 224 reviewsWe have stayed at the Bamboo Aparthotel before and it is always a great stopover for SJO airport. Not only is it very close to the airport but it's ideal for walking to a really nice Mexican restaurant in downtown Alajuela for supper. They offered a room upgrade this time, so we had an apartment right next to our secure parking spot, which was very convenient as we had a lot of luggage with us. And, as always, a very good breakfast. It's our go to place for a one-night stopover, but we would happily stay there for longer too.
KarenUnited Kingdom - From £43.75 per night7.9Scored 7.9GoodRated good· 3,240 reviewsHotel is 8-10 minutes from the SJO airport. Staff was friendly and very helpful. Room was clean and larger than expected. Occasionally heard people outside my door but luckily not late at night. I didn't eat breakfast, but the coffee was great. Pool area is nice. Many restaurants within walking distance. There are also a couple of small parks within walking distance. Don't forget your umbrella if you are out walking around Alajuela because a thunderstorm with heavy rain can pop up quickly. I would definitely stay again.StaceyUnited States
- 8.0Scored 8.0Very goodRated very good· 1,299 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 £51.19 per night8.2Scored 8.2Very goodRated very good· 832 reviewsI love this hotel and stay here every time I pass through on my way to and from my residence in Costa Rica. The property is immaculate and in a perfect location. The property is owned by a Costa Rican family and they are very attentive to your needs. When in Alajuela, I can't imagine staying anywhere else, and I am surprised that more people do not stay here. This is clearly one of the best properties in the areaGaryUnited States
- From £44.30 per night8.9Scored 8.9FabulousRated fabulous· 1,092 reviewsPerfect structure next to the airport to start and/or conclude the trip in Costarica. The Alajuela quarter where the hotel is located is nice, typical. Good to visit if you have some part of the initial/final day in Costarica. Owners are kind and very well organized (also with social media) and can help you, about the transport from/to the airport. Very goodgiovanniItaly
- From £66.74 per night7.9Scored 7.9GoodRated good· 841 reviewsI chose Park View hotel because of its location and good price. I wasn't disappointed - it's a short taxi ride from the airport and was relatively cheap compared to many San Jose hotels. Although the staff didn't speak much English, we managed to understand each other. Breakfast was good and the staff were helpful.
