This place is amazing. Behind the somewhat inconspicuous looking facade you find an oasis of peace right in the centre of town. All the staff we met were very friendly and helpful, the owner, an expat American, really charming. He restored this fine building to its original splendour and added a very tasteful and spacious second story. The hotel also... More

The grounds are clean, with nice open spaces so you don't really feel too much like you are in the city. The staff was polite and quite helpful and you really get a... More

We recently stayed at the Santo Tomas hotel, the only way to describe our stay was perfect.

Thank you to all the staff for the great stay,... More

I upgraded to the balcony, and it was worth the price. The staff was friendly and helpful, and they... More

(Check your vaccination requirements, travellers.) The hotel had character and the room I stayed in was exceptionally clean with an updated and bright bathroom. Food is basic, however, the staff made having... More
