Okay hotel.

The hotel was very nice. There are many things that are good and others that are not so good. PROS: -Elegant and nice looking hotel. Makes you feel at home. -Nice breakfast. -Friendly staff. CONS: -All the restaurant was reserved for an event of Herbalife so that didn't give the guests the opportunity to have a nice and comfortable meal when necessary. So the restaurant is not 100% available for guests and there is noise because of the microphones they use. -The room is EXTREMELY small. -There is no closet, only shelves. -Hard to walk because there is no space, same with the bathroom. I think is an okay hotel is you are only staying for one night.

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I was really disappointed with my stay. For the price, the rooms are very small, smell old, and are not worth the cost. The worst part was arriving late after already paying through Expedia, only to have the owner insist that I pay a second time directly to him. He refused to let me check in and was very rude, leaving me stranded with my luggage while I spent a long time on the phone with Expedia, with no taxis available that late. It was a very stressful way to end the day, and unfortunately the experience completely ruined my impression of the hotel.

I chose this hotel for my last night as it was conveniently close to the airport. The front door is secured, which adds a nice layer of safety, as visitors must ring a bell for entry. Check-in was smooth, and I was promptly directed to my room on the first floor. The room itself was cozy, albeit small, which is perfectly fine for a short stay of just one or two nights. While there was no comforter, the lack of one wasn't an issue since the room was quite warm. It was equipped with both a fan and air conditioning, ensuring a comfortable environment. One of the highlights was the beautiful garden area. Each room on the first floor has a set of chairs outside, providing a lovely spot to relax. Wi-Fi is included, which is a great perk. However, I would recommend noting that breakfast is not included when booking through Hotels.com, and it costs around $8 USD if you choose to purchase it. The hotel is situated in a bustling area with plenty of restaurants, shopping options, and familiar franchise eateries nearby. Overall, I had a pleasant stay and would definitely consider returning in the future.

Friendly staff, tasty breakfast, simple rooms

Very friendly helpful staff. Very good Costa Rican style breakfast served in beautiful courtyard. Rooms were fairly simple with ceiling fan and one extra fan as well as bathroom. The ceiling fan worked well enough that we didn't use the extra fan even though the day temperature was approximately 35C.

Hotel Liberia

DO NOT LET THESE GOOD REVIEWS FOOL YOU. When you walk in you will see a BEAUTIFUL lobby, and be greeted by wonderful employees, it is all a facade. After we received our keys, we went to open our room door but it couldn't open all the way because the bed was so close to the door. The rooms looked like prison cells, cement walls and windows so high up you couldn't see out of them. The room smelled like poop, the shower was dirty and so were the sheets. The walls are super thin, it sounded like the people on the streets were in our room. We requested for the sheets to be changed and the bathroom to be cleaned. I'm not sure what she cleaned with because there was no difference afterwards, and after she changed the sheets she SPRAYED THE PILLOWS WITH FEBREEZE. I feel bamboozled. We would rather sit in pizza hut for 3 hours than go back to the hotel. The reviews and pictures made it seem like a great place to say, however the only thing good about this hotel were the employees. They were so sweet and helpful.

Friendly staff and central location

I have stayed at Hotel Liberia several times, last year and this year. The staff are lovely and accommodating. Last year when I was doing research and staying there, they washed my teams' clothes (of course we paid) which were absolutely filthy from working in the field. They have delicious meals and will serve you whenever you like. The rooms do not have air conditioning or hot water, but honestly it's really unnecessary unless you're planning to stay in your room the entire day. I even took my mom here on my most recent trip and she adored it even as a woman who loves the AC and typically stays at resorts. I love it here and will continue to go back each time I visit!

Convenient hotel in an interesting town

We do recommend this hotel to anyone staying in Liberia, especially after landing at the international airport. Would we stay here again? I am not so sure. It is convenient, the staff is pleasant, but the standard double room that we had was a bit claustrophobic. Only one of the windows opened. We used a fan throughout the night. The bathroom is cramped. The room and bathroom could use some hooks, basic needs for hanging clothes and towels. Meals are fine, standard.
