Guest Reviews
- Mariano (10/5): - Todo muy bien Todo bien
- José (10/5): -
- Adriana (10/5): Placido - Las plantas le dan un toque de frescura, la decoración de la cama y el servicio como tal
- Ed maha (10/5): - Como siempre la atencion de Tifanny y su pareja fueron excelentes... regresaremos siempre que podamos.. No poder quedarnos mas.
- Nibel (9/5): Très bien, paisible et à côté de l’aéroport et possibilité de se garer devant l’hébergement - L’endroit très calme et le petit déjeuner au top
- Catherine (9/5): - Nous avons apprécié la proximité de l'aéroport, le petit déjeuner costa ricain et se balader dans les environs avant de prendre la route pour une autre destination. La chambre avait tout le nécessaire. C'est une excellente option qualité/prix.
- Cardinal (6/5): Une nuit d'étape à Alajuela - Bon accueil et literie propre Il n'y a pas de feu pour cuisiner comme le montre la photo
Il manque un petit carreau de notre fenêtre ouvrante de la chambre, les odeurs de cigarettes entraient dans la chambre
- Julie (8/5): -
- Mitchell (5/5): - Greta location for a quick stay when catching flights. Very basic rooms
Beds and everything else but if you just need to sleep for a bit it works. Staff was really nice! Very basic accommodations, pallet mattress stands, toilet ran all night
- Níger (10/5): - Atención Todo estuvo bien

- Stephen (9/5): -
- Patrick (10/5): Nice, calm place to stay - The staff was flexible with a change of room and luggage storage after checking out. No problems
- Marine (7/5): - Le personnel est très arrangeant et adorable. Le rapport qualité-prix est très bien pour une nuit à Alajuela. L’espace commun extérieur est sympa Les chambres n’ont pas de fenêtre donnant sur l’extérieur donc ça sent la transpiration et le renfermé. La salle de bain est petite et peu pratique : quand on se douche ça trempe les toilettes car le rideau n’est pas assez grand
- Fernando Quintero (5/5): - Había una gotera de un baño en el piso de arriba que se escuchaba al lado de la cama. Al parecer ya lo saben pero no lo han solucionado. La habitacion muy básica y el baño exterior / compartido no tenía nincortina de ducha.
- Emma (7/5): -
- Simon (9/5): Excellent rapport qualité prix avec petit déjeuner très bon. Juste pas d’eau chaude pour nous mais pas très grâce ! -
- david (8/5): Ideal com a primer i últim allotjament. Personal encantador. - Molt bona relació qualitat/preu amb esmorçar inclòs. Personal molt amable i atent. Fins i tot ens van ajudar a aconseguir cotxe de lloguer i el desplaçament al aeroport. Ideal per un primer dia d’arribada i ultim per marxar. Res, tot correcte.
- Mojica Baltodano (10/5): Great - Staff very friendly Nothing all was good
- caroline (8/5): - Bon service !!!Propre !!! Nous sommes seulement resté 1 nuit car cetait près de l'aéroport ☺️
- Sabine (8/5): - Sehr zentral was Essen gehen und einkaufen anbelangt. Die Unterkunft hat ihren Zweck erfüllt und der junge Mann an der Rezeption sehr lieb und verständnisvoll!

- Néstor (10/5): Estancia agradable - La atencion del personal es super cortes, son muy amables y atentos. El hospedaje estaba en el mismo centro.
- Brian (6/5): Qr code door lock. - Location is good . Staff friendly and helpful You need a qr code on your phone to unlock the front door , but there isn't even a nail to hang you towel on in the shared bathroom .
- rivera vargas (10/5): -
- Jennifer (9/5): Very good value for the price - Very nice welcome and everything was clean. The bed (bottom part of a bunk bed) was comfortable but I'm not a fan of bunk beds. It was a bit noisy outside due to the central location. Still, for the price, it was very good. I was quite pleased overall. The lady serving breakfast could have been more pleasant - she doesn't seem to like her job very much.
- Natalia (8/5): - Buena ubicación La habitación no tenía ventilación y la cama del camarote al acostarme se cayó al parecer estaban mal puesto los palos
- Naddl Fichte (9/5): - Nice young lady at the entrance, clean bathroom Bed broke in the middle of the night.
- francesc (7/5): - La cama, No hay lugar para colgar la ropa
- Morgan (8/5): Good location for airport & shops, very reasonably priced - Super friendly, helpful staff :) they were very accomodation to us arriving early. Can’t beat the price for a one night stay near the airport. It’s basic but there’s a nice area outside at the back to relax and eat meals at. Great location for supermarkets and shops.

- Jeremy (8/5): Reassuring place to start my trip - Old fashioned place in a fairly central location . Came from the airport on the ordinary bus which terminated a few blocks away east to walk from the bus . The staff are lovely I had a job to open the door using the QR code on my phone
- Stephane (7/5): -
- Katharina (8/5): - Super Lage für Flughafen. Viel entspannter als San José.
Sehr nettes Personal und super Betten.
- Elisa (8/5): - Lit confortable.
Wifi correct. Le parking juste à côté était pratique (3500 colones la nuit de 18h à 8h).
La gentillesse à l'accueil.
Le petit déjeuner bien. Dommage qu'il n'y ait pas de chocolat chaud au petit dej.
La répartition de l'espace dans la chambre est moyenne. Pas assez de place dans la chambre et trop d'espace inutilisé dans la salle de bain.

- Nicolle (4/5): Prima voor een nacht om alleen te slapen. - De locatie van het hotel was goed Het was een hotel met best wat gebreken, kapotte ramen, je voelde de vingeren in het bed, de ventilator was erg smerig, de douche was koud. En de prijs vond ik te veel voor wat je ervoor kreeg.
- Rae Bu (7/5): Friendly Staff, Near Airport but room reeks of gasoline. - Loved the location. So easy to get to the airport in the morning. Very cute kitty spent the night with us as well.Room is basic and simple and everything you need for a little rest before the flight. However, our room was next to the garage and it smelled like gasoline the entire night so we both got headaches from it. Staff was extremely friendly. Smells like gasoline and is poorly ventilated. Caused headache/sore throat from the fumes. Room says “cabin on a boat,” but that is a translation error: that means bunk beds.
- pascal (8/5): - Bon rapport qualité prix. Parfait pour un court séjour pour budget serré ! Confort simple, propre, bon accueil. La literie gagnerait a être rénovée mais ça passe.
- Shaan (7/5): -
- Heather (8/5): - Handy for airport transfers. Friendly staff. Very basic room - expected with the cost.

- Marc-Antoine (8/5): -
- Alejandro (7/5): Location to walking distance - Location , staff front desk excellent 2 guys very nice and very professional It’s duty many spots need more deep clean.

- ROSA (6/5): - Localización Incómodo
- Guest (5/5): - El personal es muy amable. El desayuno no debe ser ofrecido se lo ofrecen en ese manera. Muy poco. Yo tenia vergüenza de servir algo asi. Los cuartos parecen estar en prisión. Por una noche máximo, pero por ese precio se encuentra algo mejor.
- Linda Marcoux (3/5): De courte durée, heureusement - Petit déjeuner.
Une demi tranche d'ananas.
Oeuf brouillé petite portion et froid.
Pinto pas de saveur et café très fort. Surtout l'entretien.
C'est moche et même le plancher n' est pas terminé.
Vraiment un entretien s'impose
