Book a hotel near Rafael Angel Calderon Guardia Hospital, Carmen

"The tricky lady at the front desk tried to charge us twice for the breakfast. Parking place is a nightmare, always closed, dark, alone and you must go out of your car to ask (almost beg) for somebody to walk and open the gate. They offer amenities like a hair dryer. Lie. You must call and wait a long time for it. It was a good expensive hotel. Now its only expensive."

"We liked our stay at this hotel, and like the Japanese restaurant, but here are things that could be better: initially we stayed in a room that was too noisy (facing freeway). Second, we would have liked to have more hand and face towels; there was only one for both my wife and I. The location of the hotel is not that good, in that there is no way to walk to any place, like outside restaurants and shops, so we had to always take taxis. The breakfast buffet was mediocre."

"I’m currently staying at the Hotel Santo Tomas and it’s a total standout. The building was originally built in 1908, and they’ve done an incredible job maintaining that historic character while keeping everything comfortable. Even though you’re right downtown and close to everything, the property feels like a private oasis. Once you step inside, you completely forget you’re in the middle of a busy city. It’s quiet, incredibly beautiful, and the layout is perfect. The pool area is excellent... very lush and a great place to reset. They also include a solid free breakfast that actually hits the spot. If you want a place with real history and a peaceful vibe right in the heart of San Jose, stay here. I’ll definitely be back."

"Did not use pool. Was there very short time. Staff seemed good "

"I stayed there for the second time after a two day trip elsewhere. My first room was good but the second one was even better. Beautiful, well furnished and spotlessly clean. I had dinner in the restaurant and although a little pricey the food was tasty and had an originality about it. The free breakfast was very good and set me up for the day. I wouldn’t hesitate to book this hotel again, it was brilliant. "

"Great breakfast with variety. Very central for all the sights and close to many restaurants. Staff friendly and always helpful. Large rooms with rain forest showers. "
