We stayed at the Santo Tomas several times, it was our base in Costa Rica. Every time we where warmly welcomed. Once you enter the hotel you can forget the crowded, busy streets of San Jose. The rooms are quiet big, a little dark, but that's ok. In the pretty little patio there´s a very clean swimming pool and even... More

I stayed here 7 nights on 4 different stops in San Jose. This place oozes with character; from the high ceilings to the hand painted tile floors. Great location within walking distance to most downtown sites and restaurants. While the neighborhood to the north is a little sketchy we never had any issues with safety. More

We were in Costa Rica for the first time and felt very warmly received at Hotel Santo Tomas. The owner, Tomas Douglas, is very hospitable as are the staff. The people at the front desk are very helpful. The location is central, close to the main points of interest. The appearance, from the outside, is somewhat deceiving but, once inside,... More

Hotel Santo Tomas is just a few short blocks from the centre of San Jose, and main attractions are within easy walking distance. Our (standard) room was clean and comfortable, and all the public areas in the hotel are immaculate, with highly polished floors and great attention to detail. Dinner in the restaurant was a real treat, and very reasonably... More

I have stayed at Hotel Santo Tomas in March of 2010 and again in March of 2011. Both times I initially booked it for my first day in Costa Rico and liked it so well that I returned there at the tail end of my trip the night before flying out. I was even able to negotiate a lower room... More

Located within one block of Parque Espana, Parque Morazon and Museo de Jade hotel was a good choice for me. Central Market was only a 15 minute walk. The staff was very cordial and talkative (both english and spanish). I had a balcony room overlooking the small pool. I love having natural light and having a breeze in the room,... More

This hotel was a little Oasis in the hustle and bustle of the neighbourhood. It doesn't look like much from the outside but once you go inside it is very calm and relaxing. Tomas the owner is the nicest person. He even gave me some very helpful unsolicited tips on motorcycle riding which I think will be invaluable. The staff... More

We stayed here only one night before heading out of San Jose. It's located within walking distance of downtown. There were three of us and we always felt safe walking, even at night. However, you may want to use a taxi at night if by yourself or with your girlfriend/wife. It has an excellent hot tub/pool area and even has... More
