I loved everything about Garden’s House. I wish I had come a few days early to stay in this lovely little haven longer. It felt like a home away from home. Luis and Randall are experts in hospitality, and they have established a wonderfully comfortable, peaceful, and beautiful place for travelers to stay in Costa Rica. Value for price is excellent. Breakfast was delicious and the back patio was my favorite place to lounge. I would definitely come back to Garden’s House again, and I will recommend to anyone I know that plans to stay in Alajuela.

The location is very close to the airport. Patricia was able to pick me up and help orient me to taking a bus to Monteverde. She went above and beyond to help out. In the morning her and Alexander made breakfast, a delicious typical Costa Rican breakfast! Delicious and filling. It's the perfect spot near the airport or to check out Alajuela. The room is simple but comfortable and clean. Private bathroom and comfy bed. I plan on staying there again!!

The room was quiet and naturally chilled in a historic building meaningfully adjacent to the city center of Alajuela. The architecture took lighting into consideration to brighten up the rooms using daylight reflecting off the walls. The staff paid attention to the food and personally cared about the property. The fruit salad and the veggie egg scramble were perfectly made. The breakfast in the beautiful courtyard was great for starting the day.

Great location in Alajuela. The owners are very helpful and friendly. The guesthouse has a courtyard with little garden which is really nice. In the morning it is possible to make your own breakfast (toasts, eggs, butter, jam, juices are available). This accommodation is great as they offer airport transfer for 5 USD. The airport is very close to the guesthouse. Alajuela is a nice Costa Rican town which is worth to visit (half or full day).

We stayed for the first 2 nights of our trip and the last night before leaving Costa Rica. The hotel staff were lovely and could not have been more helpful. The hotel location is very convenient for the airport and a central place for wandering around Alajuela, finding restaurants, etc. The garden dining area was a pleasant place to relax, and the breakfast was delicious (the best Gallo pinto of our trip).

Great location for airport and for visiting the former capital of Alajuela (well worth it). Lovely small pool area and separate restaurant area with good food. Great to have an owner who cares about birds and who goes out of his way to attract birds to the sizeable garden. Regular haunt for birdwatchers on their way in or out of Costa Rica with free (morning) airport shuttle.

The apartment's location is excellent, just a few meters away from shops and restaurants. You can walk from the apartment to Alajuela's downtown in just under 15 minutes and the trip from the airport is short, Damaris the caretaker was super friendly the whole time, she was always around if I needed anything. Overall it was a great experience.

Uber ride from the apartment to the airport took less than 10 minutes. Located in a quiet, safe neighborhood in walking distance to downtown Alajuela. Apartment was spacious, clean, and had a washing machine and three comfy beds. Olga was exceptionally kind and ensured that we had everything we needed and more, e.g. coffee, creamer, and snacks too!

Away from the hustle and bustle of Alajuela in a country setting. Parking and a restaurant on site. Restaurant was decent and reasonably priced. Owner was friendly and helpful. Room was pretty large and the bed was softer than the norm in Costa Rica. All in all a good place for us to spend an extra night while waiting for our luggage to arrive.

immaculate, fully supplied apartment;best wifi we’ve had in Costa Rica (working on vacation) ; virtually new and very elegant; very secure gated community; washer/dryer to clean up 2 weeks of travel; central location between Alajuela and Heredia if you have a car or use Uber (Uber ride to downtown San Jose only cost us $10US)

This place is a little haven on the outskirts of Alajuela. Great value, great staff, kitchen, and super relaxing garden area with cute cats. We are using it as our “keep coming back to” Costa Rica base. They drive you for a reasonable rate to the airport any time of day or night. Thank you Roman, Kim and Juan Carlos :)

Great location in a safe/quiet neighbourhood very close to the airport. We had a spare afternoon so walk into the Alajuela town centre which has a lot of history. Breakfast was superb. Fresh fruit, eggs, toast and as much Costa Rican coffee as you like. Rooms were a good size and shower was hot and had good power.

My stay at Fairfield by Marriott San Jose Airport Alajuela was fantastic. The staff were welcoming and efficient, the room was clean and comfortable, and the location was convenient for airport access. The complimentary breakfast was a delightful addition. Highly recommend this hotel for a pleasant stay in Alajuela.

The dome was so fun to stay in and the family that hosted us was so accommodating!!! They shuttled us to the poas volcano, the la Paz Waterfall, and into alajuela to our next hotel! We ordered food from them night 1 and it was delicious. All around it was a wonderful experience for us and we highly recommend it!

I was welcomed by the owners Carmen and Felix. They are really thoughtful and will do everything to make your stay super comfortable. It is like coming home. The apartment has everything you need. The neighbourhood is perfectly located. Close to the airport and the town of Alajuela and a big shopping mall.

Lovely little place just outside Alajuela. The gardens are beautiful with hummingbirds. The owners have two cute dogs. Breakfast was lovely. Unfortunately when we stayed the restaurant was closed but have heard its excellent! We only stayed one night but will return if we ever come back to Costa Rica.

Very nice home cooked breakfast and a great view of local life from the front porch. This place was such a great alternative to hotel/condo stays! Highly recommend if you want to be close to Alajuela and San Jose but away from the noise and traffic. 5 minutes from the airport!

A good value stay close to the airport in the central part of Alajuela. Staff was very nice and extremely helpful. Continental breakfast was fine. Found the hostel to be very clean. Excellent wifi and they brought a chair and desk to my room so I could work remotely.

Excellent breakfast included. It was a delicious hot breakfast and had fresh fruit. Great overall value. All the staff members were friendly and helpful. Will definitely stay at Park View Hotel and Restaurant when in Alajuela, Costa Rica again.

The perfect place to spend a night or two when passing through Alajuela! Laura is an incredibly kind and attentive host. I’ve stayed here almost a dozen times and recommend it to friends and travellers in Costa Rica :)
