Staff was friendly, helpful, and spoke good English. A/C was less than up to par, and it is quite a noisy location. The neighbors roosters start crowing around 2 am and never really quit. That said it’s probably worth what you pay for it.

Pleasant experience but some room for improvement! Cute local hotel close to the airport. The cafe was a nice touch but notice that they are closed on Tuesdays (just for information). The rooms could use some work but they were clean and beds comfortable. Lots of road noise from the highway so I recommend some ear plugs! AC worked and there was also a fan in the room.

This is a 10/10 hotel. The staff is beyond kind and goes out their way to help. The reception spoke perfect English and went above and beyond to help me after a mix up of dates. Upon arrival- I was very impressed with the room size and decor. I have been to many 5 star hotel and the room size, comfort and quality was below this hotel. The rooms are huge with high ceiling and good AC. The shower pressure was the best throughout the hotels I have stayed in Costa Rica and the hot water worked well. Do not let the cheap price fool you. This is a 5 star hotel for its comfort and best of all its 10 mins away from the international airport.

While Karao Hotel may offer budget nightly stays, it offers amazingly large rooms, close vicinity to the Liberia airport, public bus directory in front of Karao, and extraordinary professionally brewed coffee shop and breakfast meals. The (made on premises) breakfast items are inexpensive and high quality. Hope you will enjoy my recent photos of these delights, my companion and I stayed twice in December 2025. Perfect in every way.
