Barrio Martha Quezada & Around
Better known to
taxistas
as 'Tica bus,' the international bus terminal upon which the barrio
(district) is centered, Martha Quezada's been hosting shoestringers for a generation. Just to
the south, the leafier, more upscale residential neighborhood of Bolonia has a handful of re-
laxed boutique hotels. Directions here are usually given from Canal Dos (Canal 2).

If you're planning on doing anything more than crashing the night
and moving on, this is where you want to be. Rooms are a decent size, spotless and dotted
around a lush garden with a (relatively) huge pool. Small discounts apply for more than
three days, bigger ones for a month.

Clean and secure, this friendly family-run spot offers decent-sized, unexciting rooms
around a small patio. Hammocks, a spacious lounge area, cable TV and a shared kitchen
make it a good option.

This simple
guesthouse has spotless, no-frills rooms, and a central patio with a TV and a shared kit-
chen. It's a few steps from the Tica bus terminal, but this block is reputedly quite danger-
ous at night.

Rooms,
done out in cutesy, homey decorations, run alongside a pretty garden. The rooms are pass-
able, but the service is just a bit odd.
