The location a couple blocks from the Alajuela plaza/town square was so much more fun than expected. I spent the afternoon at the free museum on the plaza which had an exceptional artist exhibit as well as fun exhibit on Costa Rican history. There is also a great restaurant (artisanal foods) which has a great atmosphere and delicious food 2 blocks from the hotel. The early morning taxi to the airport was 5 minutes. If you want to spend your last afternoon in Costa Rica with a historical and locals vibe, stay at the Hotel 1915. The hotel itself has a old spanish mission feel and very cool boutique vibe.

Great location only a short walk to the square, cathedral, and Juan Santamaria museum. Many restaurants nearby. Maybe 10-15min drive to airport? Friendly staff. Room 21 has nice terrace with beautiful view. This would be a good location for visiting the area around San Jose without traffic getting in/out of the capitol! It was less than $10 uber from San Jose back to the hotel during peak hour. Many thanks to hotel 1915 for arranging a taxi to collect me at horrible hour of 2:45 for a morning flight!

Only regret is only staying one night & sadly I couldn't stay for breakfast because my departing flight was ridiculously early in the morning.

The staff were very friendly. We were struggling to drop the luggage because we had to run to the car rental to drop the car and the person at the front desk quickly jumped and helped me with the luggage and did a very fast check in. The room was comfortable, good size, only missing a small mini fridge in my opinion. The breakfast was included and had a good selection: tipico with Gallo pinto, American with toast, bacon and eggs, pancakes, french toast or even omelettes. It was just the right place to stay before departing the next day via San Jose Airport.

Very nice hotel, based on a private 1915 house. Nice freshly made breakfast. Stayed here twice, on arriving and on departure. On arrival, we took a taxi from the JSO ($10 including 1.5 tips for ~8 mins ride). On departure I needed to return a rent-a-car before 6am, so Needed to leave hotel at 5:45am. I wasn't counting for breakfast, but was suggested fruits + coffee at 5:30am. And they packed for me toasts and eggs to go. That exceeded my expectations! Parking: they have few spots at the property. But you need to book those in advance. If no spot available - there is a parking (24/7) just 2-min walk from the hotel. $7 per night.

You do hear some street noises. Especially motorcycles. Ear plugs solve that problem.

In all areas, I give the highest scores I've ever given. Many travelers prefer "less risk" and will go to someplace like Fairfield Inn or a Holiday Inn Express, because one can have more confidence that everything will be as expected. With a smaller boutique place like 1915, I understand why risk-averse folks will not give it a try (they will stick with the Fairfield Inn and will eat at Denny's because they get what they are accustomed to). A beautiful building built in 1915, and the inside is gorgeous. I loved the common areas where I planted myself when I was working on the computer. I loved the location--I ditched my rental car and came back with a taxi, because Alajuela is a place for walking. I love the location and the walks....such great little restaurants and shops. Great breakfast. FAbulous staff that really looked out for me.

No issues.

We were doing the whole "just flying in and passing through" thing for Alajuela but still wanted to visit the city, and this was a perfect choice for our short stay. We couldn't ask for a better location (couple minutes from town center) and the hotel itself was inviting and comfortable. The breakfast was a highlight on both mornings, in a cute sheltered open air space and delicious with fresh fruits and cooked rice/beans/eggs.

The only "shortcoming" I could say is that the room doesn't come with many amenities (e.g. face towels, hairdryer, kettle if you're looking for those things) but the helpful staff more than make up for it because they'll work to get anything you ask at all hours.

We really enjoyed that the room was really nice (we had the Junior suit), with a good AC, a king bed and a large bathroom (with a large shower that had a really good pressure 😁). The interior of the hotel was also really nice, with different areas to sit and a lot of greenery. The breakfast sitting area had an open roof, so we could enjoy the really nice breakfast (fruit and a full meal, coffee) while having some sun, a little breeze and hearing the birds chirping. We felt very safe in the hotel and the stuff was amazing - very kind, friendly and helpful! They had our towels changed every day (which is honestly so nice when being in this tropical country). The location was also good since it is in the north of the Alajuela center, which made it easy when we went on the different tours (volcano, coffee farm, La Paz etc.).

Nothing to mention here.

This property is an absolute gem! It’s unassuming from the outside but once you step inside, you feel transporting back to decades past. I believe her name was Alessandra explained to us that this property has been in her family for generations and it was once home to her family. Now it’s for travelers to enjoy and I just loved learning that about the property. You can just feel the history. She was so friendly and sweet and helped us get a taxi the next morning so promptly! The complimentary breakfast was DELICIOUS. Seriously amazing and the ambience of the breakfast area outside was beautiful. Plus this hotel was conveniently located near the airport. It was perfect for us coming in late at night from our flights that day to crash before heading out to see the rest of Costa Rica. Our room was small but exactly what we needed. It was a good deal for the price in my opinion. Everything was very clean and we would definitely pass through here again 🙂

Nothing to complain about!

It's a quaint Spanish home that was converted into a hotel in 1915 by the grandmother who had the vision / foresight. It is beautiful and the owners (daughter & husband) are very polite and accommodating. Breakfast was perfect and a menu to meet each pallette.

The air freshner was extremely strong when we entered the room. The scent was overpowering so I had to unplug it and leave the door open for a while. I react to strong perfume odours. The room was fine once the scent disappated.

This place is beautiful! I love the design of the hotel. The staff are extremely nice and helpful! Breakfast was delicious with a few different options to choose from! The location is perfect as many restaurants are within walking distance and the hotel is 5-10 mins from the airport. I would stay here again!

My room was very noisy as it was closer to the street so I asked to move and I changed to a room that was further back. They were really accommodating for this. My booking said I would have a balcony and the room did not have that.
