Hotel Santo Tomás

Hotel Santo Tomás

8/10 Good
"The inside of the hotel was safe and clean. Beautiful woodwork throughout. It was formerly a coffee plantation owners home and has been restored as such. The pool area was really nice, with places to relax and meet up. Comfortable rooms and linens with friendly staff. 3 options for fresh cooked-to-order breakfast. Important to note though that we were told breakfast started at 7:00, but that is the time to order. One morning we were first there and did not get served until 7:45. If you have an early morning tour scheduled, plan accordingly. Important also: we did not feel safe walking around the area of the hotel after dark, and were told that by our Uber driver. We felt that way about most of San Jose. As I mentioned though, the hotel and parking area is gated. Would recommend the hotel with those things in mind. Short walk from the museums and teatro."
