Gardens House, Airport Juan Santamaría, Alajuela, San José
4.7/560 Reviews
The private room we stayed in was very comfortable and the small yard/garden is beautiful, and the owner is exceptional helpful. It is near the SJO airport, they provided transportation services for our arrival and leaving, in addition there are many attraction suggestions available by the owner, we bought one of the attractions, it was great. We're very happy to stay in this house, and will definitely come back again when visiting Costa Rica in the future.. almost forgot to mention that that breakfast is included and $6 for lunch which is a great price for one in the city, we had fish for lunch which was delicious.
Hostel SantaFe
4.3/58 Reviews
It's a busget Hostel, so you should not expect that much, it is clean but very old. Staff is cool but wasn't that helpful in some request, probably not their fault, but owners can put some extra effort to make this place better. It is clean and cozy.
Arenal Sloth Hostel

The staff are friendly and everything is clean, it has a shared kitchen which is clean most of the time. The top has an amazing view of the volcano.
Alajuela Backpackers Airport Hostel
3.8/540 Reviews
Great place to spend a night close by the airport after the arrival and waiting for the next day transfer to the hotel, or while waiting for the flight when returning home. Literally five minutes from the airport... And the shuttle service they have is free. Rooms are basic and clean. There is a restaurant and a bar at the fourth floor. Was nice to see young people having fun... The first room we stayed in was facing the street, so there was some noise from the outside. The inside the building facing room was quiet. The staff was very friendly and the room price was great.
Las Carmelas, Airport Juan Santamaría, Alajuela, San José
4.5/58 Reviews
This is a very cultural experience. Now, first, walk down the hill to check in. Be prepared, this is like a college dormitory. It ain't the Ritz. It's traditional Costa Rican housing. These people are soon sweet and kind. Home-cooked authentic breakfast in their dining room, he even climbed a tree and provided fresh mama. Amazing. It is in Alajuela, close to airport and downtown, but you will need Ubers. The hotel does have bicycles you can ride, but it's not close to much. However, Uber is soon handy and cheap in Costa Rica, you'll be fine. Loved this place....not for amenities, but for the hosts.

Poshtel Arenal
4/59 Reviews
Cheap stay and friendly staff. Breakfast is hot dogs, fried or scrambled eggs, fruit, plantains, gallopinto (rice and beans mixed) for $7. Swim-up bar on site with plenty of hammocks and lounge chairs. Pool water is too cold to swim or lounge in however. They have a kitchenette with fridge in the common area for shared use. No toiletries provided except for towels in the room. The air conditioner unit in our room only functioned in ON or OFF modes and the other buttons to change settings didn’t appear to work at all so the room was either too humid and hot or freezing. The bed only has a single thin sheet on top which is not a blanket like one would hope. Two pillows and two mini pillows per bed. Staff keep the main areas very tidy and are helpful with planning tours or other questions about the area. This is located perfectly in the middle of La Fortuna action with a delicious smelling panaderia next door and tons of restaurants, shops, and other attractions within walking distance or minutes away by car. Plenty of street parking available. Comically large shower with good water pressure. Would stay again but would bring a blanket if it were feasible.
