    Very good location just less than a 5 minute walk from the beach. Really affordable price, and the bunk was comfy with a socket and headlamp. The owner was really nice so was the person working there. It’s a safe hostel for solo female travelers. Highly recommended.

    The rooms are very pleasant, it was cozy and clean. The hotel team has always been friendly, patient and helpful. I had an amazing weekend it’s about a 10 min walk to the beach, they have an Oxxo nearby there’s a restaurant right across the street from the hotel. Everything that you need is close by this hotel.

    Overall, it exceeded all of my expectations and the price was lower because I booked more nights.

    The only negative and it wasn't much of a factor was that there was no closet or place to hang up my clothes. And there wasn't a chair of any kind in the room, but they provided one as soon as I asked. The bathrooms are shared by everyone and weren't always available when needed and were smaller than I expected.

    It's kind of unique, like a compound of several buildings and I was in a single room near a large room with 6-8 beds. There's a separate kitchen area where I prepared my breakfast and lunch and went out most nights. There's an area across the street that has 4 restaurants and a bar, which is incredibly convenient. The property is a short block from the beach, which again is incredibly convenient. I was there for 4-5 days and was included in a couple of meals, which was fun. Overall, I felt like a part of the family by the time I left and can't say enough about how friendly and helpful everyone was. Two thumbs, way up!!

    The stuff is extremely friendly and will always help you; it feels more like a community than a hostel as they introduce the guests to each other. I really enjoyed my stay. It's super close to the beach and also the main street with everything you need, but at the same time very quiet.

    Rosarito in off-season is kind of sketchy, only one fellow traveller during my stay

    Hector, Memo and Omer make sure you have everything you need during your stay. Always felt safe as a female solo traveler! And the dogs are really cute :) Also Sharon, the retired lady which life’s on the premises, is a nice dialog partner. It’s better to expect a camping site atmosphere more than a hostel ++ hammock, close to the beach

    Wish there was a refrigerator in the room. There is one to use in the patio area, however.

    Hector, the host was absolutely wonderful! Very nice and accommodating. Very secure place, no one gets by the friendly dogs! Great food right across the street. Quality furnishings! My husband and I were both so tired and felt so relaxed in our comfortable room, we stayed in bed the whole first day! We will definitely stay there again.

    Arrived at night and it looked a little sketchy as it’s a chain link gate, held together with a wire. It looked a bit abandoned. If a formal gate and fence were added it would look safer. The dorm room is small. You walk into the room and it’s a wall of capsule beds.

    Great location, super convenient. Sturdy beds with curtains for a great sleep Friendly dogs Free parking Open for late check in Would stay here again

    The room was clean and very comfortable. The restrooms and showers were also very clean and in good condition. The courtyard was well maintained and had plenty of seating and shade to take in the fresh air and sound of the waves on the beach nearby before you start your day off or if you just want to relax and unwind.

    I think perhaps the place could do with a face lift.

    The staff were beyond accommodating and attentive though all male which was slightly challenging for an elderly female though as such I probably had no business being there anyway. T’was a last night on my way back to the U.S. The place was authentic in it’s appearance and layout. They obviously once had a pool and jacuzzi and would do well to get them working again though the ocean is just down the street so perhaps not a necessity. Was surprised by the doggy population of many types and sizes at the property. I think perhaps they are rescue dogs. Luckily I like dogs. The sleeping arrangements were quite well arranged making them quite private and the bed clean and comfy. The hostel is situated right at the beginning of the most popular tourist area. I should add that I was spoilt by my two night stay in a San Diego hostel on my way to Baja which was sparkling, brand spanking new and of a new Swedish design and which was a revelation in hosteling.

    The rooms are clean, but lack character. (I stayed in the dorm and also in a private room.) But leave the room and go to the beach. It’s only a block away.

    Hector, the owner, is amazing. I don’t remember ever feeling more welcomed at a hostel. He’s fluent in English and Spanish. He invited me to a dinner he was making outside with staff and some people on a longer stay. Grilled steak, corn and potatoes, tacos, beer. Under a fig tree, with some of the best black figs you’ll ever taste (if you are lucky enough, as I was, to come during the season). I stayed one night, but when I came back north (from a trip in the Baja) I stayed two more nights. The main reason I stayed longer in Rosarito was this hostel. Hector even gave me a ride to the airport.

    The location was right off Benito Juarez(Main Blvd). The place was clean, organized and safe. Plus the staff were the best, kind, friendly, great to talk to and the funniest. Southern Hospitality at its best. Big shout out to Hector and Memo, un saludaso desde California vatos.
