HOTEL ASTOR TIJUANA, Tijuana

The hotel sits 2 km from the American Consulate, making it a frequent choice for visa appointments. The American border is 5 km away. Morelos Park and Zoo as well as Vergel Aquatic Park are each about 5-7 minutes by car. Macroplaza Shopping Centre is 3 km away. Tijuana Central Bus Station is 800 metres away, and Tijuana Airport is a 10-minute drive. While the area feels quiet at night and has limited immediate foot traffic, a Calimax supermarket and several casual food stalls, plus a café, can be reached on foot. The area directly in front has some road noise, but interior-facing rooms are quieter. Having a car is most convenient for exploring, though luggage storage and free parking make drop-offs practical.

Rooms are air-conditioned with efficient heating, functional décor, granite floors, and armchairs. Each room includes a flat-screen TV with cable channels, a telephone, and a private bathroom with free toiletries and good water pressure. Single rooms offer king-sized beds and tile/marble floors. Triple and family rooms add a seating area and a dining table. All units have parquet floors, a work desk, and an AM/FM alarm clock. No rooms have a balcony, fridge, or microwave. Room service is available Tuesday-Saturday from 7:30 to 21:30. The atmosphere is clean, practical, and well-maintained-better for those prioritising comfort and cleanliness over modern decor.

Breakfast is included in all rates and served as a buffet. The offering typically includes several hot dishes such as chilaquiles with salsa, fresh fruit, and a variety of breads and pastries. Guests can serve themselves. The breakfast staff are attentive and helpful. There is no restaurant on the property, but a snack bar is available. For evening meals, hotel staff can provide phone numbers for local food delivery options. There are also a few casual eateries and a café within a short walking distance.
