Hotel Santo Tomás

Hotel Santo Tomás

10/10 Excellent
"Hotel Santo Tomas is a great find in the heart of old San Jose. From the outside it looks like nothing special, but once you get in, you realize it has lots of charm, a super hospitable staff, and a true historic feel. It’s not a typical tourist hotel but that’s part of the charm. I really enjoyed my stay there and recommend it warmly."
