Your first impression of Hotel 1915 may be that it appears to be a dark, old building but don't let that stop you from taking a look inside where you will discover a charming place. Rooms are basic but clean. The free internet is a bonus. Alajuela makes a great base for going to/from the airport. more

I stayed for two weeks at the Hotel 1915 while on a church mission in Alajuela, a suburb of San Jose. The hotel is clean, wonderful staff, great breakfasts. The hotel is old as it truly was built in the year 1915. Rooms are comfortable but sparse. Showers and bathroom floors are slippery (and even more so when wet as... more

We stayed for one night only on our way out of Costa Rica. We found the hotel through the Lonely Planet guide while we were driving back to Alajuela and they highly recommended it so we thought we'd give it a shot. It was just incredible.

The rooms were clean but most impressive were the common rooms which were decorated in a stylish yet warm fashion. If you need a place to stay near San Jose I highly recommend the 1915! more

On arriving at the Hotel 1915 we thought the place must be closed. We didn't have a reservation and there was no sign of life from the outside. But, looking closely, we saw a doorbell and were let in. The lady greeting us did not know English and our Spanish is poor so she called a fellow who came and... more
