We were attracted to this hotel because it looked like good value for money considering the location. If those are the two most important factors for you in Oaxaca then Hotel Santo Tomas is a good option but you need to bear in mind the following: There is no safe in the room. The bed is large but very firm and the material of the mattress protector makes it quite sweaty. The water pressure in the shower is poor, especially the hot tap. There is a bar downstairs that plays loud live music until 12am most nights; it was very bassy so you can't expect to sleep until the music has finished, even with ear plugs or white noise. There's a courtyard that patrons of the bar can access and it leads directly to the hotel rooms; this combined with the lack of safe did make me a bit concerned for security of our items etc. Overall I was satisfied with our stay because it was so cheap and the location meant we could pop in and out throughout the day but if I were to return to Oaxaca I wouldn't stay here again.
