ALAJUELA HOSTELS

Just minutes away from Costa Rica's largest international airport you'll find several Alajuela hostels.

Maybe money is a little tight but you'd like one of those cheap Costa Rica hotels on your Costa Rica vacation.





Start in one of the Alajuela hostels!

Or maybe you've had a little too much wine, romance, and song so you're nearly dead broke and need a cheap place to sleep at the end of your Costa Rica adventure.

End in Alajuela!



They're not exactly the Ritz but for about $12 (yea, more during high season) what you expect? A mint on your pillow?

Juan Santamaria International Airport (most folks call it San Jose International) is just outside Alajuela, about 10 miles from San Jose.

For a place to crash coming into or leaving your Costa Rica vacation, one of the Alajuela hostels might be just the ticket.
