    Laura, the Owner, lives there as well. When you arrive it’s like you’re visiting a friend. She is welcoming and caring. She gave me a bigger room that I hadn’t paid for because it was empty and I looked tired! So I really appreciated that. Everything is very clean with everything you need. Breakfast is included. She is a gourmet chef by the way. And she baked fresh olive ciabatta bread with a sun-dried tomatoes spread an omelette, fresh pineapple, yogurt, nuts, coffee. I couldn’t believe it I had to eat it all!

    Nothing. I was nervous after looking up the location and reading some negative reviews however none of these experiences were true for me and I was welcomed in and had a very pleasant stay.

    Easy access by bus to and from the airport. Was welcomed with a nice patient chat. Room was stations and clean. Own bathroom. Close to the mall with lots of food options and the city center to walk and look at the church and park squares.

    The top bunk felt a bit unsafe as there were no side bars.

    The owner was very friendly and responsive to messages. The breakfast in the morning was really generous and delicious. The beds were comfortable and the Fan machine was really effective.

    A return to Lajuela Hostal felt like coming home at the end of my journey. Alajuela skips the hustle bustle and traffic of San Jose and it’s a very convenient arrival and departure place near the airport. I once again appreciated the spacious room and comfortable bed.

    Laura is a warm host who graciously welcomed me despite my late arrival from the airport. The room was large and very clean. Spotless! Laura makes wonderful breakfasts. I especially liked her gorditos, also fruit and eggs. It was a great start for my time in Costa Rica. Excellent English is spoken for those who need it.

    Nothing, maybe that the water in the shower wasn't hot, but wasn't a problem for me, since I don't have hot water myself 😁

    Comfortable, big bed, nice owner, good breakfast, good communication, I had my own bathroom, its close to the airport and easy to get there with an uber

    There is no sign of the hostel outside showing the place, was slightly difficult to find. Wi-Fi was not consistent and slow.

    Landowner lady was great. Provided us breakfast to go in our early morning departure. Great, quite strong coffee. Parking space for the rental car was good. Secured spot

    It was a really nice start and end stay of our Costa Rica trip. The apartment was really clean and located close to the airport. The host was really friendly and flexible. Moreover, she prepared a super delicious breakfast. We had a pleasant stay at Lajuela BnB. We will book it again if we ever come back to Costa Rica.
