We were picked up and dropped back at the airport, as we also hired a car for two weeks. I have to say it was one of the easiest stress free start and finish to a holiday that we have ever experienced. It was all so effortless and we were very impressed by the service we received

Boasting a garden and views of garden, Casa del Cafe-Familiar is a guest house set in a historic building in Heredia, 40 km from Poas National Park.

We stayed in Casa del Café for one night the day we arrived in Costa Rica. We only spent the night and left early the following morning. The location a short drive away from the airport was perfect, the house is beautiful surrounded by a big garden, the hosts very attentive and friendly.

The Nomad Hostel is set in Alajuela City, 29 km from Poas National Park, 600 metres from Alejandro Morera Soto Stadium, as well as 8.6 km from Parque Viva.

I had an early morning flight and found this hostel to get to the airport quickly and conveniently. I advise you to download the app Uber, in 10 minutes you will get to the airport and the trip will cost you about 8 euros. Very spacious and clean. Huge equipped kitchen, cozy lounge and super atmosphere. Nearby are a huge number of great restaurants and 5 minutes walk to the local market with all the typical products.

Offering a bar and city view, Brisas del Aeropuerto is set in Heredia, 44 km from Poas National Park and 9.2 km from Estadio Nacional de Costa Rica.

The house was clean and tidy and made a good impression. A comfortable room with facilities (eg Refrigerator, ice) available in the kitchen area adjacent to the breakfast room. Breakfast was 'tipco' but nice with lovely fresh fruits and good coffee. The courtyard was pleasant to sit out in during the evening and apart from barking dogs (external to the property) was very peaceful.

    Safe and near airport location with kind host (who also helps with airport pick up and drop of). Grocery shop, pizza takeout near by. The room is quiet and it’s part of a family house. The room was clean and comfortable.

    I felt so welcome at Casa Granitas! From the accommodations to the free shuttle (to and from the airport) to the recommendations I received from my hosts. It’s also located in a beautiful, quiet neighbourhood not far from the airport.

    Friendly staff, very easy pickup from the airport at night and after a 10-15 minute drive arrived at the guest house. It was very comfortable, clean and quiet. Perfect if you’re flying in late and need a reliable and comfortable place to stay after your flight.

    Great host, made us feel very welcome. The property itself is like a home away from home, we planned on doing a day in San José but instead stayed the day in the house and the town as it felt like a home for us. Great kitchen to cook, cosy bedroom in a quaint town by the airport. Great stay!

    The place looked like it was a new renovation/ remodel. It was clean, bright, tastefully decorated. The location was in a quiet residential neighborhood. Across the street is a restaurant that serves mostly Chinese food. Down the street about a block and a half is a popular Costa Rican food restaurant. The host provided free wifi, was communicative before and after check in via whatsapp. Free pick up and drop off at the airport was a great service. We had to leave at 5 a.m. for our flight, but the host happily obliged.

    It was great to have the airport shuttle to and from the airport. The unit was very clean. The outside yard was lovely to sit out in the evening. Our hosts were amazing, from directing us to a nice restaurant to providing fresh coffee at 5:00 am. We felt comfortable just sitting and chatting with them. The casa is in a nice quiet neighborhood and we felt completely safe.
