The hotel good for the price. I stayed for a night before going to the airport, and the hotel provided what I need. I liked the location, and the food/shopping options within walking distance.

Hotel Guanacaste is pretty accurate in what it advertises, it is a good budget hotel with nice staff and owners. We were even treated specially for being returning customers and that is something to value. There is a bar outside and music can be loud in certain rooms, so pack some earplugs if you are a light sleeper, but other than that we were really happy with the experience.

Hotel for the locals
This is your local Tico hotel. No friles, no bells and whistles very basic but very old. The price is cheap for a reason but it is in a very good location.

For a one night stay this property is OK. It's basic but it's very close to the bus station as you arrive from the Nicaraguan border and it's also less than 2 blocks from the airport bus stop.

Not even a hook in the bathroom or on the walls for clothing. Had to leave bags at the end of the bed in order to get to the bathroom. Room was extremely small. There was a hole in the bedsheet provided. We would have been better to take a bunkbed room to have some floor space. We moved a medal folding chair outside the door during the afternoon in order to move around in the room. Brought it back in at nighttime to use as a bedside table. The folding chairs in the courtyard were filthy and literally had the stuffing coming out of them. The only thing this place had going for it was the cheap price and the proximity to the bus station. We were out the door by 7:15 am.

This is was my third visit to Hotel Guanacaste and I have seen many improvements from my last visit 1 ½ years ago 👏 This hotel is very safe, quiet, extra conveniently located a 5 minute walk from my TicaBus pickup and drop off point. The convience food options are steps my the hotel and include McDonald's, Taco Bell, KFC, Burger King, Papa John's so many more. The discount shopping 🛍️ options are endless with several discount Big box and grocery stores literally on the doorstep. Well done, keep up the great work 👏👍👍👍 I will be back later in the year.

The staff were decent, however, this is the dirtiest place i have ever stayed. The walls and floors were extremely dirty. The staff cleaned the toilet as i waited to enter, but it was badly stained. The bed sheets were clean.

I needed an affordable place to stay before my flight and this was exactly what I needed. It is fair to say that if you are accustomed to perfectly painted walls and high thread count sheets this is not your place. It was exactly what I needed-- a bed to sleep in, bathroom, and convenience of locality. The staff were beyond helpful and the only people who openly spoke the me in this city. Additionally, if you do not speak Spanish and are not willing to learn, this is not your place. Overall, I had an amazing experience for what I needed.
