I stayed there for 2 weeks in late August. The new construction was finished, and the new rooms were really very nice. I had stayed in one of the older rooms, and had thought that it was nice, but I got curious and started poking around and found a room that was much nicer. The hotel staff was great, the... more

Loved my stay at this hotel. It is an old colonial building and they just added new rooms. These are nicely decorated, large and very clean. Staff is very friendly and helpful. The pool had cold water... The breakfast was poor. Location is perfect, right in the city centre. more

We stayed at the hotel twice during a 7 week trip around central america. The first time we booked through an agent and although the room was clean it was tiny! We had a double bed but it was pushed up against the wall so you had to climb over each other to get out! Apart from this it was... more

I stayed at hotel for one week. I would rate hotel for rooms 4-5 star with new rooms definitely 5 star. Cleanliness & customer service was 5 star+. Definitely prefer to staying here than at Marriott. I will now always stay at this hotel while in San Jose. more

Instead of staying in a US hotel chain, we thought we’d stay in a local hotel. What a mistake. This hotel is in massive construction (July/Aug 2009), which was NOT shown in the hotel description at the time of our booking (3 months before). The construction noise was brutal, EVERY DAY from 8am to 5-5:30pm. Can’t sleep in or even... more

Hotel Santo Tomas is a charming hotel located in downtown San Jose. It is just a walk away to almost everything- the Teatro Nacional, Gold Museum, Central Cathedral, the parks, bars and local shops. The hotel is very clean and orderly and the staff treats you like family. From the very moment I stepped in, they (including the owner) were... more

To start our 1 month trip to Costa Rica with an in depth visit of San Jose city, we had booked 2 nights in the Santo Tomas Hotel which looked comparable to other metro San Jose hotels in guide books and website. We paid 130 USD per night for a couple and 2 kids (9 and 11). It took about... more

I am a female that traveled alone to San Jose and stayed at Santo Thomas. Once inside the secure gates, I was pleasantly surprised. The staff was excellent. The accommodations were simple but clean. It is a good place to meet other travelers. I very much enjoyed my stay. more

My nephew and I only stayed at Hotel Santo Thomas for one night, but it was not long enough. I loved architecture and the authenic feel of the place. The hotel is bueatifully restored, clean, warm and friendly. It was only a few blocks from bueatful historic downtown San Jose so the location was perfect. Hotel staff was personable and... more
