The location is great- close to the Airport with no effect from it. Wonderful garden with a lot of birds (We saw our first Toucan there). The apartment is very clean, pleasant, comfortable and well equipped. Rolf, the host, was very nice and welcoming. We stayed there on our first and our last day in Costa Rica. Rolf gave us some good tips for the start of our trip and helped us a lot when we needed to do some arrangements before our flight back.

Our room overlooked the main road with a view of Poas Volcano. The bed was comfortable. The bathroom was well equipped with shampoo, conditioner and body wash as well as a hairdryer. The hotel was recently opened, so everything was nice and new. Had a meal from the restaurant which was great. Buffet breakfast was also very nice with lots of options. Great option if you need an overnight stay close to the airport (5 mins away). Next door to the City Mall which is handy if you want to do a little shopping. Also close enough to do a day trip to Poas Volcano, La Paz Waterfall and the Starbucks Coffee Farm.

Beautiful stay at Alice y Juancito. It's a shame we only stayed the 1 night! Our room was lovely and well equipped with a very comfortable bed. There's a communal kitchen and lounge area. It was nice and close to the airport and we arranged for a transfer through the hotel owner. It was perfect for us

We stayed after a long flight just for one night and it was perfect to rest and recover. This place has a great relaxed feel to it with comfortable communal areas. We were a family with 2 older teenagers and had 3 rooms, all well equipped and comfortable with excellent air-conditioning and bathroom facilities. The staff were very helpful and friendly and communication was excellent. The rooms were very comfortable and the ability to use the kitchen to make a little breakfast before we left was great. I wish we has stayed longer.

The staff was super friendly and helpful. I don’t know if there were other guests. The children were nice and well-behaving, but if you’re looking for a hostel-like place, this is not like that. I felt like staying in a family’s home.

We arrived earlier than expected and were admitted into our rooms which were spacious and comfortable. Great place to stay while waiting for a flight out of San Jose Airport. Beautiful secure grounds. Ideal for travelling families - plenty of space for children to run around after or before a plane journey.
