Pension California

The hotel is cozy, friendly, there are always people hanging out to share a meal or a beer with. there are a lot of plants and a lot of cats, that make it a charming hotel. It’s very well located with the Malecon just a couple minutes away, a market, a laundromat, a vegan restaurant right down the street. Overall a nice stay! (try the tacos stand a few meters down the street!!)

Nothing really bothered us. But be aware that the beds are a little firm. The outside living room area can smell like cat litter. It can get noisy at night and late, if some guests listen to tv or music too loud. And the kitchen could be better equipped (very few utensils, no towel to dry your hands).

It is very central. It provides basic lodging at a very low price, with access to a small kitchen.

The beds are thin mattresses on concrete pads. Rooms very cell-like. There are too many cats which is bad for allergies. The kitchen is grubby. I'm glad that these places exist for budget travellers, but it's pretty rough on the whole. Needs a good scrub.

The rooms have private bathroom, and OK beds, but rooms are very small but that's OK too. Rooms are naturally ventilated having no glass windows only louvers. So you can HEAR EVERYTHING from the corridor and other rooms. The property boasts cable TV in each room but I imagine most, if not all, of the clientele would be content to get entertainment over the WIFI on their cell phones. The TVs just facilitate a few inconsiderate guests disturbing their neighbors late at night and early in the morning. Removing the TVs would make this place SOOOO much better. Please remove the TVs because nobody cares about having a TV these days! Also, please put notices in each room asking guests not to have conversations after 11pm and before 7am. Apparently some guests imagine they are the only ones using the hotel. If these simple improvements were made I would not hesitate to stay here again.

super cheap and close to the beachfront. Fine with taking bikes into the room. great place fro travellers on a budget

not the cleanest

Warm and home like

Wifi in room number 4 is poor

The location is very good, close to the beach and restaurants. The bed was comfortable, the internet was fast and the shower had great hot water.

The room was extremely dirty, but at least the bedding was clean. It was noisy because you can hear everything the neighbours did, and I mean EVERYTHING! The couple next door was so loud having relations, they woke me up.
