Hotel el Tucan Alajuela

The bedsheets were full of hair and crumbs, for sure no one bothered to clean them. There were also tons of hair in the bathroom, alongside a multitude of bloodstains. Also the door could not be locked properly. If you don't want to contract any diseases stay clear of this filthy hellhole.

The hotel itself is very nice. However, it does say that breakfast is included, and please be aware that you have to make your own breakfast, which is fine.

Truthfully, you should just stay at the airport if you are using this for a quick overnight or literally anywhere else, this was a top worst experience and I stayed in some pretty interesting places over the years. First, you will receive only one towel if you’re booking for a party of five, but they will allow you to pay extra for more towels, which are more like dirty rags. There’s only cold water, so don’t anticipate taking a nice hot shower before turning into your bug infested bed. Oh, and also note that the whole place is flooding, the shower flooded into our room, reception was flooding, there’s holes in the ceilings and it’s not a quiet place at all. We were quite literally deadbolt, locked in the hotel, and unable to leave with no receptionist to be found for over 20 minutes, causing us to have to call a second Uber and quite a bit of stress as no one answered the doorbell, the phone calls or are pleased for someone to come let us out. Why would anyone deadbolt you inside a building? What a fire hazard. We all woke up, covered in bug bites, and the pillows are nearly nonexistent. They are so flat. There’s no redeeming quality about staying here.

Es una buena opción está bien relación con e precio

Have to pay for parking and it is expensive

They didn't have toilet paper... other than that it was acceptable

There were lots of things to do around the hotel. Things like the museum and parks. Lots of restaurants too. Thank you

Did not have room even tho I paid.

very nice

We had to book last minute so i decided to ignore the reviews and choose it for the price. The place could use some iimprovement. We did see a couple of tiny roaches in our room and had to take cold showers becaause there was no hot water. They did not provide the top sheet so we had to cover just with the little blankets wich i never like to do because i know they dont always wash those in the small hotels. Ok n the other hand the receptionist gave us excellent aervice and was very helpful and kind. Breakfast was simple, no meats and no eggs.

Accueil sympathique

Good location close to the airport.

Hole in ceiling above shower where a light used to be, had to plug it with toilet paper to feel like someone wouldn’t look in. A/C leaked, bed was not comfortable, noisy in front area. Parking is in a pay lot down the street. Breakfast was delicious.

👍

Might look scary to the average American women at first but a great place to stay and lots of nice restaurants around

I recommend it for cheap .

The hotel is actually really quiet - no windows helps- like an old office building turned hotel. We stayed mid week not on a weekend. No elevator - (Not a problem for us) beds are Costa Rican hard (normal Everywhere you go unless your paying for luxury) AC works - not ice cold but better than a Fan! Restaurants are walking distance and good. We would definitely stay again when we’re flying out!! They let us park right in front of the hotel.

Modest but clean, the reception was extremely kind and helpful.

Close to airport. Needs updating.

I generally trust reviews from others for hotel selections and was looking for a last-minute one-night stay for 2, close to the airport. Mid-range pricing. IMO other reviews and photos offer an Incorrect description of this property! We forfeited our entire cost of reservation and did NOT stay after the scary experience we encountered. Horrible location old decrepit property on a busy street in a very high crime area, Dirty throughout, and poor/no maintenance. NO staff around at the afternoon check-in, bad rude attitude when we did find someone, the room was dirty and very dated decor, cheap looking bed 2" mattress, and the minimal bedding rumpled and unclean, didn't feel safe entering blacked-out hallways upstairs to access the room, NO AC as advertised, did offer a fan? No parking. No hot water. Thanks to an unhappy guest who confirmed without any solicitation from us, as we were weighing our options, he whispered to us "This hotel is a very bad place". I concur with his assessment.
