Glen's Recommendation
June 2026I spent a stay at Hotel Casa Antigua in Alajuela, and it immediately felt like one of those places that reminds you why I love staying in locally run Costa Rican hotels. If you’re flying in or out of SJO, this is a super convenient base, but what stood out to me most was the atmosphere: traditional, charming, and full of local character rather than the cookie-cutter airport-hotel vibe.
The moment I arrived, I appreciated the warm welcome and the old-school feel of the property. It has that relaxed Alajuela energy — simple, comfortable, and unfussy in a way that makes it easy to settle in after a long travel day. I also liked that it felt like a real neighborhood stay, not just a stopover. You get a better sense of the city and a little more personality than you’d expect from a place so close to the airport.
For fellow travelers, this is a solid pick if you value charm and convenience over flashy amenities. I’d especially recommend it for your first or last night in Costa Rica, when ease of access matters and you want a peaceful place to regroup. It’s also a nice option if you enjoy staying somewhere with a local feel and traditional design.
Travel With Glen Pro Tip: If you’re arriving late or leaving early, book this hotel for a smooth SJO transfer and use the extra time to grab a coffee and wander around Alajuela before heading to the airport.
