Hotel Suiza

“Good accommodations at a very reasonable price”

I was recommended to the Hotel Suiza by a friend who lives in the city. This hotel is at 924 Ninos Heroes near the corner with Sixth St. It has security, a small eatery, and attentive staff. Price is a very economical 250 pesos per day for a basic room for up to two people. There are double rooms if you need them. Wireless internet being included at no extra cost is a great bonus. I was able to use it to check my mail and make Skype calls. There is a restaurant across the street called. "Plato de Oro" which translates to "Gold Plate" . Food there is tasty Mexican classics at a reasonable price. They have brewed coffee available whereas many low priced eateries bring you hot water and a jar of instant coffee . I prefer the former :-) I have stayed at this hotel many times while visiting Tijuana. It is close enough to the downtown to walk there easily, but far enough that the noise and hustle and bustle is not noticed. Staff do not speak a lot of English, but can get by. I speak Spanish so that is what I have used. There are good discount room rates available if you pay for three days or more in advance.

“Fine for a Tijuana Hotel - Good Value”

First off, the rating takes into account that this is a modest hotel in Latin America. I've given similar ratings to MUCH nicer places, but south of the border is a different place.

First off, the rating takes into account that this is a modest hotel in Latin America. I've given similar ratings to MUCH nicer places, but south of the border is a different place. I booked a single room for a Saturday night on travel site at a very modest price. The hotel is located a few blocks west of Avenida Revolucion and is convenient to that area. I felt fairly comfortable walking back there, even later at night but you should be careful. It's about a 25-minute walk to the Pedwest border crossing. I walked into the small lobby and received a civil greeting from the manager, who primarily spoke Spanish. I asked for a room with air conditioning and was given one though it didn't appear they all had that amenity, judging by what I observed. I provided a $5 deposit for the metal key and TV remote which is customary in this area. The hotel is a long, two-story building with rooms on both floors and an odd atrium in the middle. The left side of the building seemed to be flush to the adjacent building and rooms dark, while the right side had a gap and rooms were lighter. I saw one guy with his door open and the fan blowing into the room on the left side, so I'm guessing no AC on that side. I went to my room on the second floor. It had tile floor, a full-sized bed, AC unit that worked fine, there was a ceiling fan and light, newer flat screen TV - on which I couldn't seem to raise the volume no matter what I did - a few shelves and I believe a chair. Wifi worked quite well. Small toilet and shower. Two very clean, thick towels which was a nice surprise, a small soap bar and shampoo packet. There was lots of hot water. As I expected, the walls were kind of dirty as was the floor tile in the room and bathroom. Again, these small, cheap, independent places are never that clean by U.S. standards. Bedding was old but suitable. I slept fairly well and checked out early the next morning. If I had the same experience on the next go 'round, I would not hesitate to stay here again.

“Decent Hotel for the price”

I stay here when traveling to Tijuana, Its about 10 min walk from the heart of Tijuana. Can't beat the price. 24 hour security. Its out of the way from the nighclubs and the noise. Basic room for basic needs. No trills or chills. Plenty of hot water. Toliet chain did get stuck a few times but I was able to manage. There was a couple arguing on my last night but other then that I had a good stay.
