10/10 Exceptional

Great place
Vicky, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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
JoAnn, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Very accomodating staff, cheap clean place for short stay (in transit)
Natalia, 1-night trip

It is an economic choice.. the price was right.. it was clean and staff was most helpful and the restaurant made it-so. convenient
Karen, 1-night trip

Hotel was well situated for both bus stations, basic but what we needed.
Georgina, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

I really like the people who work there
Terry, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.

Kenry, 4-night trip

6/10 Good

The hotel good for the price. I stayed for a night before going to the airport, and the hotel provided what I need. I liked the location, and the food/shopping options within walking distance.
Terry, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

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
Ricky, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Close to amenities and Central Park. Easy check in and access to wifi. Cozy for a stop over and friendly accommodating staff.
Megan, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I have stayed with Hotel Guanacaste several times over the years when in Liberia.. Have noticed many improvements in that time. The hotel has always been cheap & affordable, centrally located, clean with reliable Wi-Fi. These are important to me and I will return as long as this is provided 😁
Bruce N, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

For a one night stay this property is OK. It's basic but it's very close to the bus station as you arrive from the Nicaraguan border and it's also less than 2 blocks from the airport bus stop.

Great advice from Reception!

Very friendly staff, helped me map my bus route through Costa Rica.
Simon, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

I'm a longtime patron of the Hotel Guanacaste. I'm glad to see it's had a recent renovation. My only complaint is that the restaurant/bar next door played loud music late into the night. But it was a Friday night, and I was especially tired from my bus trip. I will stay there again without hesitation.

Very good service

The cleanness was good; the condition of the hotel was ok;it’s very basic ; the service was excellent. The staff is very nice , friendly and very helpful
Martha, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Was an inexpensive hotel. Nothing fancy but the staff was great. Good place for picking up or dropping people at Luberia airport
Brian, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

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.
Monica, 1-night trip

Good for short time
cassio, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
Diego, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

The place needs someone with vision to take many advantages there are around.
