Top City Mall Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Express San Jose Costa Rica Airport by IHG

8/10 Good

"Location and cleanliness"

Alajuela City Hotel & Guest House

10/10 Excellent

"This is a wonderful place to stay. The people at the front desk (Yerrick!!!!, Farlen, Diego, and the ladies who work there!!!) are amazing and so helpful. The place itself was centrally located, clean, and comfortable. I highly reccomend this place."

Hotel Mango

10/10 Excellent

"The place was right on the beach and we received a room with a "partial ocean view" which was exactly what I had asked for. There was some construction happening on the property which made it feel a little cluttered but it did not affect the mood of the staff or the people staying at the hotel. We had an amazing time and enjoyed the location, and the staff. It was far enough away from downtown that we did"

"Good budget hotel. Not luxurious. They don’t give toothbrush set, the treadmill was broken, morning breakfast waffles they premake, so they were cold and bad tasting. Give us our waffle maker for breakfast!!"
