Featuring air-conditioned accommodation with a patio, Casa Bosque GuestHouse & Car Rental - Free SJO Airport Shuttle is located in Desamparados. Luis was extremely communicative and arranged pick up from the airport even though I got in at midnight. The apartment was lovely. He also picked me up at 7 am to drop me off for a shuttle but the place ended up being bad and so he offered to drive me to another safe location. He was very kind and helpful. Would highly recommend

Zeus Guesthouse -Free SJO Airport Shuttle & Car Rental is a recently renovated apartment in La Garita, where guests can make the most of its garden and barbecue facilities. It was a fantastic stay! Very well maintained place with all-in! The hosts are really super nice and the transfers worked like charm, also! I think just because of them and this place it does worth to visit Costa Rica! :) Hints: -To get good hot water for the shower, put the knob to the middle, then don't pull it to the maximum to have the biggest amount water, but until midway. At least this worked for me like this. -A supermarket visit and the breakfast was done in 20-25 mins, total. That is still a good option in case of a late arrival and early departure. Besides, - this is more a note to the hosts -: maybe a bit more amenity in terms of biscuit or similar would be good. Apart the water which was of course, also great to have!

Situated within 32 km of Poas National Park and 3.1 km of Alejandro Morera Soto Stadium, Toucan Hostel features rooms in Alajuela City. I needed a stay to get by airplane the next day. This was a very good place to take a good shower and sleep in an excellent bed before going to the airport. They also provide a place for your car, that was my case. Also the staff is very friendly!

Set 32 km from Poas National Park, Casa Carmen offers accommodation with free WiFi and free private parking. It was actually a very comfortable stay. The owner was very helpful. I timed it, and it took 15 min to walk to the airport. The room was very clean and comfortable. Alajuela has cool nights, so lack of AC was not a problem. Great budget option for late arrivals or early morning departures.
