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

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.

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.

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

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 😁

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.

Hotel for the locals

This is your local Tico hotel. No friles, no bells and whistles very basic but very old. The price is cheap for a reason but it is in a very good location.

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.
