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.

We have just stayed twice at this hotel (2 days in the beginning of our trip and 2 days at the end). You pretty much get what you paid for. The rooms are very basic, but clean. PROS: The best thing were the guys at the reception. They were very friendly and helpful answering any question we had. The AC worked perfectly and was very quiet, the TV also worked well. The location was excellent. We had the opportunity to meet the owner, Sonia, and she was professional and pleasant. On our second stay, the matresses were more comfortable. CONS: The worst asset of this hotel was the morning girl at the reception. She was rude, unpleasant and unprofessional. That by itself, turned any experience to bad. A few points to notel: there was no hot water and it was pretty noisy in the night. You can hear everything that is going on outside. All in all, it is a reasonable place if you need a cheap place to sleep close to the centre and bus stations

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.

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 😁

The room we booked the AC did not work so they moved us to another room but was smaller than original room. The shower had no shower head it had just a pipe coming out of the wall, window was missing and had a plywood board instead, bed was very uncomfortable pillows were soo flat, the ac hose on the wall was so wide the mosquitos came in the room. The outside noise from 3 different bar/restaurant was terrible so loud until it stopped at 2am.

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.

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.

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.
