What guests think

At Hotel Catalina, travellers highlight clean, good-value rooms and a central location near Avenida Revolución, with many praising the friendly front desk and feeling safe, making it a convenient base for short stays in downtown Tijuana.

Several reviews note nightlife and street noise, tight bathrooms, and a few windowless or poorly sealed rooms, plus occasional Wi‑Fi issues. Facilities are basic: parking is off-site a short walk away and there is no elevator. Service is generally kind and helpful but inconsistent at times, with reports of rude interactions, reservation or policy hassles, and some guests feeling overcharged versus online quotes or currency rates. Overall, expect a simple, budget-friendly stay in a lively, central area.

No hay elevador, así que es incómodo para algunas personas. El estacionamiento se encuentra a media cuadra del hotel. Por lo demás es conveniente si solo llegas a descansar

I was overcharged over what the site quoted me. There is no parking in the hotel altough they claim there is. You have to walk one block to another building to another hotel to leave your car. The staff was very polite but inefficient. Now… the cleanliness of the hotel was concerning. If i had been with someone i would have walked out. But i stayed. The pillows were not clean with lots of women hair still stuck on the pillows and some on the sheets. Again they ended up charging me the same as surrounding hotels that are much much better.

Buena ubicación, pero encontré dos cucarachas en mi habitación, la televisión con los canales regulares se veía muy mal. Olvidé una chamarra y cuando hable para ir por ella me dijeron que no tienen politica de objetos olvidados que las camaristas deciden que hacer con los objetos que se encuentran.

Siempre me quedo aqui porque me siento segura y me dejan hacer check in anticipado. Pero me pusieron cerca del ruido del antro y con unos vecinos de habitación ruidosos.movian mucho su cabecera. El wifi me fallo mucho. Aun asi, es un hotel que he visotado 5 veces desde el 2023 y seguire quedandome ahi porque ya me siento segura

Another good stay at Hotel Catalina. Like always very clean and excellent service. Second time staying in room 15. I forgot why I wasn’t to please last visit. This room has a very tight bathroom. Unable to sit on toilet and close the door normally. Outside noise was much better this time.

I’ve stayed at this hotel more than 8 times. I had a minor issue where I had to cross back to the US, leave my stuff behind in the hotel. I had a reservation booked and asked if I can pay it when I come back to Tijuana (5pm, which I’ve done before and they let me) they told me no just take your stuff come back and check in! One receptionist in particular always gives me a hard time, the others are nice , kind and treat me with excellent service during my stay.

I dig the easy access to many points of the city. If you know how to get around you can catch the taxi bus from here to Rosarito and back. You are also one block from the main Revolution street.
