I'm giving special attention to this place because people frequently ask about budget accommodations in/around the San José area. Not only did I find the capital TOTALLY overwhelming, the budget accommodations were total shitholes and way over-priced!

Alajuela is a much better area option; only 5-minutes from the International Airport, and a 500 Colones bus connection back into the city.

Mango Verde is ran by a local family that also lives in the huge facility. Rooms are fairly spartan, but there's plenty of community area to enjoy - including hammocks!

I paid 8,000 colones for a single with shared bath. Rooms with private bath were slightly more.

Mango Verde is within easy walking distance of everything in Alajuela, and there's a fantastic, inexpensive local eatery just across the street.
