“Walking distance from the whole tourist area.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 January 2008

Welcome to Hotel Santo Tomas in " La Bella Cenicienta".

" The Beautiful Cinderella " This is actually the Nickname for Ensenada. I was born and raised here until I was about 20 years old.

So this is my story.

We were a small group of members from Super Sonic Samba School from San Diego,Ca. We go to Ensenada every year to Perform at the Parade on Sunday and at night on the main street of the whole Carnaval area. Sometimes we go there on Friday night to party/perform the whole weekend.
We were so tired, some went to different places. Our small group of 6 people end up at a hotel from Hell in the worse area of Ensenada. ( Prostitution, bad smell and other stuff you really do not want to mention here). I suggested some of the friends to go and find anoter place to stay. This was way!!! after midnight. We were tired and stressed out about the situation. We walked only few block and end up at Hotel Santo Tomas. We were 4 in our group. We got a room with 2 full beds, a balcony to the main Boulevard Costero, Very nice and clean bathroom, with lots of towels. We were so pleased with the room.The only thing is that you can hear people from the room next to you. Well it turned out that it was a soccer team next to us continuing parting until about 4 in the morning. We were so tired that we just showered and went to bed.. The lobby is very clean and nice atmosphere. You have a secure parking lot. I will totally recomend this one to eveyone I know. Really.

Stayed February 2006

“OK if you want a hotel where all the action is.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 July 2005

We reserved a couple of rooms for guest that attended my son's wedding in Ensenada. The Hotel was clean, roomy and the front desk was very friendly. The only problem was that the rooms smelled musty and looked a little worn. If you can live with that and the noise then it's an ok place to stay. If you want something that's VERY clean and only two blocks from the main street then check out Hotel Del Valle for half the cost. My next visit will diffenantly be there.

“Great Value on Suites”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 April 2004

The standard rooms are not much, but if your looking for a suite, this place has the best suite in Ensenada for the money. It's a great location if your wanting to stay near the nightlife. Request a room facing the parking lot, the views to the main street can get noisy. I find to save quite a bit money if I do not reserve a room and get one as a walk up.

“One of the best hotels under $70 in Ensenada”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 October 2002

people found this review helpful

This hotel is a little hard to find. As you enter Esenada on the Scenic Highway (MX Rte 1) from the north the hotel is just a little past the first traffic signal. It is on a street corner on the left. If you pass the McDonalds restaurant you have gone to far. Turn at the corner the hotel is on (not at the traffic signal.) The gate to the hotel parking lot is about 100 feet from the corner on the right. This is a one way street.

This is definitely not the best part of town. I don't consider it dangerous, but walking the streets in this area late at night is probably not for the timid.

Security is very good. The hotel parking is gated and the gate is locked after midnite. There is also a security guard on duty 24 hours.

The accomodations are special for hotels in this price range in that they are clean and in good repair, both in the room and in the lobby and corridors. There is an elevator.

The room was very quiet given the heavy traffic in the area. There was an air conditioner in the room. My (internet) reservation was for a room with a queen size bed. What I actually got was two double beds. If this is important to you, you should probably confirm it at the desk during check in. Besides the beds, the furnishings included a night stand with lamp between the beds, a dresser with mirror, a single chair and a TV on its own stand. There was no table. The shower (no tub) was large and had good water pressure. There was also a balcony with two plastic patio chairs.

As with most things in Mexico, your experience may vary.
