We stayed here for 1 night before our early morning flight. Location was a few minutes away. Didn't spend much time in the room. We did appreciate the walkability to local restaurants. Felt like a real San Jose neighborhood, not a chain hotel. Service was attentive and checked in regularly to make sure all was good. Highly recommended.

We stayed for 2 nights and we loved the place . We felt at home . Was very convenient and good location and close to the airport. Unfortunately we didn’t get the pickup from the airport and we had to find our own transportation to the hotel. Over all was a very good experience and we will definitely be back .

Cute little place in the heart of Alejuela, walking distance to many things, and a 10 min drive to the airport. Staff was communicative and check in was easy. The room was cute and comfortable with a nice bathroom. Good AC, hot water, and great water pressure in the shower. Even basics to eat in the shared kitchen.

A small, spartan room w/bath. Very clean. Make your own breakfast was just fine. Very reasonable cost to pick us up at airport. Also enjoyed cost effective transportation to our car rental company. This place is good for a quick stay in the city.

My travel partner and I had a great one night stay here at Alice y Juancito. Esteban was very courteous and welcoming. The location is like 12 mins from SJO which was extremely convenient. The neighborhood was walkable and not very touristy. As a matter of fact, we didn’t run into many tourists at all around here. The property itself is so cutely decorated and cozy, we felt very comfortable here. We’d absolutely stay here again.

We stayed only 1 night as we needed a place close to the airport for our flight the next day. Loved the shared space which was so clean and well presented. The outdoor patio with the little fountain was calming. If only we had more time to enjoy this space. The all day breakfast is a bonus with sliced fruit in the fridge and eggs (make your own), bread, coffee, tea, etc. Probably the cleanest place we stayed at in all of Costa Rica. The hosts were very friendly and accommodating and communication was seamless. We would definitely stay again and highly recommend.

Great!!

I stayed for 1 night when arrived to Costa Rica. Owners are great, very friendly and helpful! I loved the story about the house history. They ask everyone to sign on the wall in the living room, looks impressive :) Room was clean and comfortable, comfortable bed, of course you hear when someone’s talking in the living room or kitchen - it’s a house :) Self service breakfast all day was good early in the morning. Pick up and drop off at the airport for a small fee was very convenient. I would definitely stay there again!

Warm atmosphere.

This place was great. It was so welcoming and warm. I felt like I had gone back in time. Everything was old-fashion and authentic. It was unique in itself. Nice and clean. I wish I had had more time to spend there. The hotel boutique has a really great history behind it. I loved it. It has a really unique way of checking in. I really liked that. I do suggest that you use a parking lot to park your rental car. There is one not far away from the site. The hosts were very helpful with an unfortunate situation we had. I appreciated that. They also offer airport drop-off for $5. Which is great. I´d definitely stay there again.
