You get the price of what you pay, if you are looking just for a place to sleep and go then this is ok, no hot water, no shampoo and expect bugs and mosquitoes in your room. Close to amenities. Staff was friendly

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.

Gross

This place was gross. Our room had ripped sheets, stained bed cover, a cigarette butt among other dirt (despite a no smoking sign in the room) on the ground. I am generally fine staying in budget places and don’t need much but it was hard to stay in this room. On the flip side, the people working here were lovely and the bar/lounge area was decent/clean. I spent as much time as I could there before I had to go into the room to sleep.

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.

Not too bad, for the price

This is a tough one to write because the staff at this hotel, despite not speaking English, were very lovely. But, there were quite a few issues with the hotel itself. Basically you get what you pay for here. My biggest issues were that the fan in the room is on the wall away from the beds and so it was really, really hot all through the night even with the fan on. My other issue is that on the second night of my stay I was repeatedly bitten by an insect. The wifi also doesn't work in the rooms. But other than that, it's not a bad place for a night.

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.

I've stayed at the Hotel Guanacaste for 15 years - the only times i have not is when they haven't had a room available- it's my preferred local. It's not a fancy place, but it suits my needs. It is very close to the bus stations and dining choices

This is an okay place to stay for one night when arriving in or leaving from Costa Rica. It is very basic and nothing has been replaced in decades, but it is clean and they do their best to take care of the place. The rooms are between two bars, so the partying is loud and continues into the night. The rooms are inside the grounds of one of the bars, but once the bar is closed for the night, the fence is closed and the gate is locked. My friend and slept soundly there and woke early to take a taxi to the airport, to which the lady at the front kindly arranged the night before. An older gentleman unlocked the fence for us and stood guard until our taxi arrived. There were several restaurants we walked to in about 5-10 minutes. I felt comfortable staying with a friend, but I may have felt a little nervous going out at night by myself. I heard an iguana crawling around inside the roof for a minute just before bedtime, but I think he settled down and went to sleep too.

Although the room was small and simple, it was clean, comfortable, and with good A/C. No hot water but who needs it in 33 degree heat. A bit noisy from the adjacent bar, but no problem with ear plugs. Good food in the attached restaurant. The staff were fabulous - friendly and super helpful and went out of their way.

Pésimo servicio

Pésimo, me cobraron más de lo que en la app se indicaba. Iba en pareja y me dieron una habitación con 2 camas individuales y para terminar de complementar, tuve que pagar con tarjeta porq no aceptaban dólares. Al final de la noche tuve que insistir en un parqueo porq le daban preferencia a los del bar que a los huéspedes.

We have just stayed twice at this hotel (2 days in the beginning of our trip and 2 days at the end). You pretty much get what you paid for. The rooms are very basic, but clean. PROS: The best thing were the guys at the reception. They were very friendly and helpful answering any question we had. The AC worked perfectly and was very quiet, the TV also worked well. The location was excellent. We had the opportunity to meet the owner, Sonia, and she was professional and pleasant. On our second stay, the matresses were more comfortable. CONS: The worst asset of this hotel was the morning girl at the reception. She was rude, unpleasant and unprofessional. That by itself, turned any experience to bad. A few points to notel: there was no hot water and it was pretty noisy in the night. You can hear everything that is going on outside. All in all, it is a reasonable place if you need a cheap place to sleep close to the centre and bus stations
