The place is clean, and very cozy it really feels like home. The host was amazing, always friendly and attentive. The location is very central, so everything is close by, and the airport shuttle service was a huge plus, super convenient. I would definitely recommend it and would stay here again without a doubt.

Best stay in Costa Rica. New fridge in room, good size., 3 touch-on table lamps, 2 ceiling fans plus a/c.. Great breakfast organization with many choices including cereal, fruit, ham, cheese. Just a wonderful stay. Beautiful paintings in public areas and in rooms. Found out that the artist is the owner Adriana, who was on the desk.

The hotel staff is always happy to help and give everything you ask for, even arranging a taxi and tour. They are so nice and friendly. The rooms are clean and well organized, and they have a daily cleaning for the rooms (up to you if you want it daily). The free breakfast was absolutely amazing, with a lot of choices. They have an Italian restaurant in the vicinity, but if you want to go out and try other food, in the nearby area (walking distance), there are 3 restaurants that you can definitely dine at. Expect a little noise since the hotel is totally near the airport. All in all, everything was excellent. I have been here for 5 nights.

    I was there one night because it was close to the airport.

    I was there one night because it was close to the airport. I would not hang out there for a significant length of time. Not a good place to be after dark. Also came across a suitcase on a sidewalk. It had obviously been stolen and rummaged through.

    Just a medium sized town with everything you need.

    Just a medium sized town with everything you need. There is a Wal Mart, Denny's and lots of other restaurants, stores and cafes. There is not a lot to see in the town for tourists, but it is easy to get into San Jose where you can get a bus to Jaco which has a great beach. You can walk into the town easily and it felt very safe, but I recommend taking the local bus. I would only go here to get to another place, but for a day or 2 it is a nice town to visit.

    San Jose and the area around the airport doesn't have much...

    San Jose and the area around the airport doesn't have much to recommend it beyond getting in and out of the country. After driving around for two hours to see the highlights, we agreed we couldn't get out of the city fast enough. We ate at the Taj Mahal location near the hotel (had come highly recommended as we'd heard it was the best Indian food around and was an iconic location with peacocks walking around, etc), but the airport location is just an open air restaurant in a strip mall next door to a Starbucks.

    Alajuela was central for us as we visited La Paz the first day and it was an easy drive back after hiking up and down to see the waterfall and gardens at La Paz. Served as a good jumping off point the next day for a visit to downtown Sam Jose, the National Theater, the museum and central market.

    We spent 30 days in Costa Rica and loved it.

    We spent 30 days in Costa Rica and loved it. Alajuela was only for flying to and from Costa Rica. It has horrible traffic and nothing worth seeing that I know of. But its airport has better flight connections for us than Liberia airport. The airport itself is good, but getting in and out is a hassle!

    We had Room 1 (standard double with bathroom) which is a nice cool internal room with plenty of space and a window on to a light well which provides good ventilation. The bedding was clean and the room tidy. The family running the hotel are friendly and helpful and made us fell very welcome. We started and finished our holiday at Hotel Pacande which is perfect for access to the airport and not in the hustle & bustle of San Jose. Alajuela is a nice town with good restaurants and shops.
