There was no hot water at all, yes it was hot anyway so a cold shower was really refreshing The rooms dont have windows, the beds are made of concrete and the matress is put on it. The wardrobe was made also of... More

This hostel and the Convento hostel around the corner are owned by the same man. They are virtually the same but the price for Pension California was 10 pesos more! It is well located, has a lot of communal seating and was very social. It has an outdoor 'kitchen' which is really a gas 4 ring burner and no decent... More

My Girlfriend and I were staying at another hotel in the city, but it was not within our budget. We then searched the following day for something within our price range and Pension California was it!

Recently stayed here for a few days upon arrival in Baja. The older man on reception was friendly and welcoming which was a good start. There's a courtyard filled with plants and paintings (check out the one with an eagle carrying a naked man, strange) with tables and chairs which adds to the social atmosphere. This courtyard is surounded by... More

This place is pretty cool. Located on street with a much better feel to the other hotels, feels more like mexico than the tourist area. The pension itself is very colourful and has cute rooms. At only 280p for a double room with tv i have no complaints. Service was great and the pension has very fast free wifi. More
