Undiscovered gem of a hotel near San Pedro. Pros: We were looking for a place on the lower end of the price spectrum that was a one night romantic getaway for two, that I could also use my free trip coins at toward the cost of the room. Preferably including breakfast and a swimming pool with jacuzzi 😉 Not much to ask! We booked one of the cheaper rooms on the ground floor. Before check in we took an Uber to San Pedro mall to do some essential shopping and see a movie. Then we checked in and I relaxed in the jacuzzi under the San José night sky while my husband enjoyed a full workout in the gym/weights room. TV with cable was great for my husband who enjoyed the football while I enjoyed the hot shower and relaxed in the bed afterwards. We had an amazingly comfortable sleep and a delicious breakfast in the morning of gallo pinto, fresh tropical fruits, freshly squeezed watermelon juice and hot coffee. A generous check out time of 12pm meant we had more than enough time to get our things together and leave when it suited. Cons: Not many cons at this price point and value. The guy at the desk was a bit weird when we asked him for a second glass for water as there was only one in the room but not a big deal. We also had to ask him for the TV remote. The towels were a bit small like a mini dress on me after my shower. But good quality (with a third extra towel for the jacuzzi) and high quality bed linen. It also is in a slightly rough looking neighborhood but this is not a problem if you travel to and from the hotel by Uber or use a hire car (which you can park privately inside the property). Overall impression: The other photos on trip.com and similar booking sites do not do this hotel justice - it looks far better in person. It has real character since it is a restored historic hotel from an era bygone, but that is why everything is such high quality from the bed linen to the floor tiles. Everything is also in good shape and freshly painted. There a little hidden nooks around the hotel that make it very charming. The breakfast area is lovely and the jacuzzi, pool and water slide were a real highlight. We WILL be back.

Lovely stay, convenient to explore downtown. Service was spot on. It was reasonably priced and the breakfast had choices and was nice and hot - cooked for you not a buffet.

Great stay as always, this was our fourth time here. Jeremy on the front desk is a star. We had a great room on the first floor, much larger than the last time (which was nice). The pool is a wonderful bonus. Breakfast is always great. Not the most upscale of neighhoods but great location just a 10 minute walk to the 7-10 or Peme bus stations.

Santo Tomas is an older property but it has its charm. The beds are good and there is plenty of hot water. The staff are very friendly and helpful. It is very close to all amenities, although the grid system can be a little confusing. The breakfasts are good and plentiful. A great place to spend a couple of days seeing the amazing museums and touristy hotspots of San Jose.

The location is good, rooms are big., staff are good. The only problem to me was cleanliness. I recommend them to wash up all bed covers, they smell dirt. And some rooms has carpets which snell very bad! They need to be washed. I didn’t touch the towels, couldn’t trust if they are clean.

Huge room. Lovely old building, beautiful tile floors. Very secure-parking in an enclosed area. Walking distance to National Museum of Costa Rica (excellent) and several dining options.
