I recently stayed at this hotel with my friend and my 9 year old daughter on our first and last night in Costa Rica. Hotel La Rosa was a great value at $76 a night (cash). The rooms are small, but clean and comfortable. It might be a bit tight in the room if you have lots of luggage. There... more

Hotel La Rosa is a GREAT, small, and very comfortable place to call home for a few days. We stayed at La Rosa both flying into and out of Costa Rica. Rob and Carlos are exceptional hosts who go out of their way to ensure you enjoy yourself. The fresh fruit at breakfast is delicious :) The rooms are a... more

La Rosa is a great place to start and end a trip to Costa Rica as it is conveniently located nearby the airport. We stayed here for a couple of nights at the end of our trip to relax and unwind. The rooms are clean and comfortable. The pool and garden are lovely. The breakfast is tasty. It is also... more

I’ve stayed 3 places in Alajuela in 9 years and La Rosa is the best of them all. It’s centrally located, easy to get to from the airport and as comfortable as you can get. The owners are from Canada and make you feel like you are family. They are extremely helpful and can suggest any activity you want to... more

We spent the last night of our 2-wk Costa Rica vacation at Hotel La Rosa. It was ok, but we were glad we were only there for 1 night. Even though Room #6 held 2 beds, it had a confining, out-dated feel to it. The sheets were worn (a hole was spotted), the TV didn't work well, and a line... more

Hotel La Rosa de America was my favourite place to stay in Costa Rica! They arranged for a taxi to meet me at the airport and drop me off at the hotel, which was only a short ride away. I was greeted at the hotel in a warm and friendly manner by the hotel owner himself. Rob was very helpful... more

We enjoyed the nice, peaceful grounds of La Rosa and really appreciated the wonderful staff. Robert helped us with our car rental and Carlos was not only a great breakfast host but a great translator to our bus driver as well! We have stayed at more expensive airport-area hotels in the past but not anymore - why pay more when... more

Convenient location to the airport. There is not a lot of tourist activity (i.e., restaurants, sites) within walking distance but a short taxi ride will get you to a variety of activities in Alajuela (Zoo Ave., restaurants). The hotel is on a well maintained property with a nice garden. The rooms are simple and minimalist. Sheets and towels are a... more
