The Grand Hotel Tijuana was fabulous! We have now stayed at this hotel on two different occasions, because the first trip was so good. From the moment we arrived, the valet and concierge were welcoming and helpful with our car, bags, and local information. Check-in was quick and easy. The concierge also gave us great advice on the easiest way to get back to the border once we checked out, including directions so we wouldn't get lost. Its a little challenging with all the round-abouts !! Being from US and not speaking Spanish at all, we were a little unsure what to expect, but communication was never an issue. The staff made us feel comfortable and safe throughout our stay. The hotel has everything you need--multiple restaurants and bars, a casino, beautiful swimming pool, room service. A special shout-out to Daniel at the casino bar! We had no idea how to get a player's card or add money so we could play, and he walked us through everything. He was always friendly and quickly learned our drinks, remembering them throughout our stay. Such a nice personal touch! The rooms are large, clean, and comfortable, with plenty of toiletries and amenities. We also had dinner at Emma, the French restaurant inside the hotel, and it was beyond fabulous--gourmet food, great ambiance, and excellent service. We felt welcome, comfortable, and safe the entire time and will absolutely stay at the Grand Hotel Tijuana again on our next trip! read more

Getting into Tijuana has become such a pain, if you are coming from San Diego, that we rarely go anymore. It used to be our weekend get away, but waiting 3 hours in line in a car just to get over the border to San Diego is just not worth it. This all happened after 9/11and nothing has been done to deal with this. It is sad. This hotel however is great. We love it, have stayed before and if we can get over the darn border we will go again. We miss it. The hotel is large, in a good area and the rooms are nice. They have great room service and we love their eatery. There are nice places to walk nearby or you can grab a cab. The staff is super nice and does speak English. Our room was ready on time and it was clean and comfortable. They have everything you need there and they are very nice. read more

Grand Hotel Tijuana is a great place to stay at when visiting TJ it's really secure they have security throughout the property and the rooms are very spacious and relaxing there buffet has a variety of options to choose from there dessert's are delicious all this in the buffet at a decent price. Me, my wife and kids went out to the pool to relax well the kids played around inside the pool for a few hours they have a menu to order drinks and food well your relaxing in the cabanas. They also have a Casino on the 1st floor it's a bit small but it's great there is a decent amount of people not so crowded like the bigger casinos I really like this one. For those of you that don't know this on the 32nd floor they have a lounge that serves complimentary breakfast and in the evenings they serve cheese, sausage, wine, and desserts it's usually empty they don't mention this to the guests when they check in I found out about it on there website in the pictures section and when selecting your room be sure to stop by there on your next visit people. read more

I would not recommend. The place is old and dingy. The rooms are loud can hear everything going on Nextdoor and in the hallway. The flat sheet was dirty. I called for a bellman to help with luggage, after waiting 30 minutes and never showing, I just brought it down myself. read more

I think that sometimes being so big isn't that good for you... that's what happened in my stay this last time... checking in was good, I got my room, VIP with Expedia at the 28 th floor, nice, I stayed two nights no big deal but, when I came back the first day oh surprise, my bed was done but my bathroom wasn't no clean towels, no bathroom cleaning. After a couple of calls they brought the towels but they left the used there. Other unpleasant thing the parking nonsense. You get a guest fare but , has a price, you have to bring back to reception your ticket every time you go out meaning you have to check each ticket every time you go out two, three times a day!!! They have to work to fix their service... I think I wouldn't stay there anymore... read more

There was nothing "Grand" about this hotel. First off 3 times during my 5 night stay I was left 1 or no towels. Hot water never worked. There was no fridge in my room and all others we went with had a fridge. We had two separate reservations with same room type and instead of keeping same room were asked to checkout, take all our luggage and recheck-in even though we were given same exact room! There was what appeared to be rust/mold in bathroom. The shower ceiling was leaking. Also, it just felt like the staff was watching us every second. My kids were having a snack at an open table in the lobby and we were told they could not each in the lobby. Every two second my kids were being told they are being too loud, when they were clearly not. The hotel recommended a taxi which charge 3 times the going rate. Overall horrible experience! read more

Spent one night at the Grand Hotel Tijuana. Should of made it a reservation for the weekend. Located in a nicer area of the city, the hotel was very nice. Plenty of underground parking, friendly staff. Room was clean and exceeded my expectations. We had dinner in the restaurant and headed off to the casino located in the lobby. In the morning, had brunch at their buffet which was fully loaded with so many options. Would of loved to have stayed longer to enjoy the pool. Will definitely go back again. read more

Let me start off by saying : I got the best massage here !!! Paid $100 USD CASH for 1hr massage. Thank you Edith I got a pedicure, manicure and hair cut for $40 total I took a free tour to the down town area that was fun Hotel is beautifully decorated for Dia De Los Muertos and also has an Art Gallery on level C Hotel has several restaurants, Emma, Plaza C, 4500 bar Salons, convenient store, roof top pool, jacuzzi, several bars, valet parking and an underground parking garage, 24 hour gym. Food is GOOD HERE (separate reviews for the restaurants) Most employees are nice and courteous. Unfortunately there where some unpleasant room service employees I read the directions for laundry.... I called at 7 am to let them know I had a bag ready They told me to leave it outside of the door, I did And NO ONE CAME TO PICK IT UP!!!! Major wompers super disappointed I woke up early for nothing !! Room has a refrigerator and a safe (fridge had a hair in it) Water runs hot, beds are hard Not too comfy TV has HBO and Netflix and many English channels Casino: you need to go through a metal detector to enter No photos allowed Tons of security, need to show your ID they scan it ... You cannot eat or drink any outside food/beverages in the lobby. For example if you have a Starbucks & a pastry you cannot eat it in the lobby You need to go to your room and eat it or go outside the Hotel & finish it We were approached by security and told "cameras" can see us eating/drinking outside food Hotel plays music and most of the time the music is way too loud Sometimes they played English oldies sometimes it was Mexican music. It varies This hotel/Casino is close to a nice outside mall and across the street is another good well known restaurant read more

CASINO!!! Had no problem with the hotel. Food was good, location was fine. However stay very clear of the casino. Once you walk through the door english, understanding, sign language etc become nonexistent. Dumped quite a bit of money trying to burn some time. Ended up with $8950. 4 people showed me how to switch the machine to show dollars or pesos. The machine takes american money via card. Ask the attendant, yes thats correct. Before i cash out, is this correct? 182,000 pesos or 8950 dollars yes thats right. Oh but they dont understand or speak English anymore when you want to cashout. Took pictures of both on the machine before cashing out. No comprende. Use a english to Spanish translator on the phone...head shaking, walk away. Manager? Gerente? El director? No comprende. Keep trying to scam me into taking 440 dollars. Ask the membership desk, no, hotel desk, no. Concierge that was so helpful when tipping him. Uh no we cant get involved with that. You should try again tomorrow but you are probably screwed. Yep same deal the next day. Nice freaking criminal con game racquet. Had to check out and get back to san diego. Spent most of my stay fighting that bs. read more

Grand Hotel Tijuana - Cash you will never get - Hotels Near Me - Tijuana, BCN

This is a pretty nice hotel, very safe, and looks very nice. The golf course in the back is nice to look at, didn't try playing. The rooms were nice, adhering overpriced from what I think they should be. One downside is paid for the room in USD, they added a currency conversion fee afterwards, a bit of a downer. I would array here again, didn't eat any of their food yet restaurants like very nice. read more

Grand Hotel Tijuana - Don Julio setenta - Hotels Near Me - Tijuana, BCN

I've stayed on many occasions because I feel it is an excellent value for the money. Rooms are good. Lobby is good because you can sit in the sports book and watch the game. The pool and jacuzzi are great. I didn't see any waiters out, so if you're looking for that kind of service, not so much. I give the restaurants a solid C+. They don't have the spectacular Mexican chefs that have spoiled us. Prepare to not be dazzled. But they are open for business. Plenty of parking. Once again, the price is great for what you get. If they hired an executive chef, they would be the hot ticket in TJ. read more

I've stayed here a few times and this is the only time that I've actually left a review. I'll start out by saying that my hotel room was clean and decently stocked with pillows which is a plus for me. My room had warm water at best in the shower. They sent a maintenance worker who told me to keep the water running for 10 mins but even after doing so- the water was warm at best. Luckily the sink reached a hotter temperature and my boyfriend used the ice buckets to help me rinse with hotter water (I had surgery and was staying here for my first week of recovery). The employees here are the rudest that I've ever encountered in the hospitality industry! Maybe it's a cultural thing? In the states- the employee seem to be overly nice and here- they are just flat out rude! Does management even care about "customer service"? I think the rudest is the room service phone guy! "ANYTHING ELSE!!??!!??" after every single item that I order! It feels as if the staff hates people from other countries- at least that's how I felt! There's NO WAY that this hotel is worth $150USD per night and I'll likely never come back. I don't think they care though and that's the biggest problem! Management- Send your staff to a customer service workshop. Teach them to be kind and helpful! Remember- without customers- there's no business! read more

I was attacked by some woman at the pool. Her boyfriend asked me where I was from and who I was with and I said Atlanta and my husband. I am a 60 year old woman and have been married to my husband all my life. My husband said he thinks she got jealous because he said something to me. The staff did nothing. They just said she promised not to do it again. The hotel is also full of tip hungry employees and they charge you accordingly. In other words you can buy something once and the prices change. I do not recommend this hotel. It's dangerous especially if you are a senior citizen. No one should attack an old lady for no reason. read more

It's a decent place but BEWARE of the bed bugs! I didn't realize what was happening at first because I had no encounters with any bugs outside. Had to throw away luggage and strip down to my underwear before entering my house to shower immediately. read more

Grand Hotel Tijuana - Bites on arm - Hotels Near Me - Tijuana, BCN

Stayed 1 night, checked out Tuesday. Nice hotel, considering. Not $150USD nice, but we felt safe. Hotel restaurant was very expensive. I had BBQ Lamb. It was served in a large plate with oily broth water, and it was the opposite of tender. I also had a Long Island Ice Tea; medium tall skinny glass. The flavor was ok, but they must have used 1/2 shots, very weak. Weird thing. I parked at the hotel, and gout our ticket validated. When we were leaving, I still had to pay $1USD/$5Mex. I've never stayed at a hotel where the validation isn't enough. I kept wondering why the extra charge for parking. I feel like it was a scam, not enough to stop and question but at the end of a year (guessimating) $300/yr. Worse yet. I'm not sure feeling like you got scammed is the lasting memories the owner/operator was wanting anyone to take home. Maybe the charge is customary, and reasonable then it is just the impression that is problematic. read more

We stayed here after my mom got a medical procedure. The 10th and 11th floors are for medical patients. Room was nothing impressive, it looks like an actual hospital room. My sheets on the bed were stained and there was hair in the bed. We called down several times to get someone to change them and finally the manager came down and took pictures of the sheets and comforter. Hotel lobby is nice. There is a bar area and a French restaurant. Bar margaritas are really good. There is also a hallway that leads to a medical mall. I tried the buffet because I heard they had good food. It was just ok. Some items were cold and appeared to have been sitting up there for awhile. The pool area is nice and over looks the street and golf course. Overall it was just ok. Oh take precaution when showering, the hot water does NOT get hot! read more

We stayed here for 3 nights while going to the dentalalvarez.com and we were not disappointed. The room was spacious, the bed very comfortable and the sheets were really soft. The pillows are way too fat and hard, so bring your own if you can. Towels are nice sized and good quality. The room code only has cheap powder creamer which is too bad, and the housekeeper wouldn't give us more coffee for the second day. We added a night on and should have gotten a fresh coffee packet but she didn't give another so I found a guy that got us one. The food choices are great in the hotel, and there are many restaurants immediately outside the hotel which is in a good area. We felt safe the whole time. The pool area is really great with cabanas available if you get there early. The 3rd night the jacuzzi was too cool, but they were going to raise the temp. Complimentary cocktails on checking in was a nice surprise. We are at all of the options while in the hotel, and there are no complaints on any. There is a small cafe in the casino that many don't know about with homemade style Mexican food. The buffet on level P had a wide variety of choices. We had dinner at Emmas, which was a fine dining restaurant. Great food and good prices. The music was loud and more of a dance mix and didn't go with the ambiance. Room service menu was extensive and we opted the last night to stay in and have it again. We will come back as we have more dental work to do in about 2 months. Nora at the front desk needs to smile and could be more personable, but the majority of the staff were very friendly. There is a retail area attached to the hotel and we found a great optical store that my hubby was able to get an exam and box of his multifocal contacts for only $109 and they will mail the contacts to us. That was a nice surprise to be scott to take care of that besides all the dental work. There are many Americans staying in the hotel for different medical procedures. read more

Be careful the lady downstairs working at the bar...I ordered a small cup of cappuccino is usually 3 dollars. I know the price well because I stayed there often. Today I ordered an extra shot of Expresso so I thought it shouldn't be much. when I got the bill it was 10 dollars triple the price. I was shocked I asked her why. She said because of the expresso shot..there's no way 1 extra shot it's 7 dollars..she ripped me off..be careful and make sure you ask about the prices Even fancy hotels have scumbags working and trying to steal money. read more

Hotel is good for location but they constantly want you to buy something if you're going to be at the pool or sit on the chairs/cabana you HAVE to buy something or they won't let you sit and relax they'll constantly send over someone to ask you if your going to buy drink or the cabana and seats are unavailable until you do so. Customer service is also very un existant here we called 5x to room service to bring up ice to our room we even left for dinner and it never got to us we had to go to the Oxxo across the street since they don't have ice machines in the building and the customer service isn't there read more

The rooms are clean but the layout is a little awkward. The bathrooms are clean as well. On weekends breakfast starts at 8am which if you get up early like me is s little impractical.

Gosh not sure why this place has such high reviews?! I know this isn't a 5 star hotel & going to TJ, don't expect much luxury, but still, is it that hard to clean up the bathroom? On the toilet seat was a couple of hairs & in the sink there was a hair there as well - see photos. On the mirror to the bathroom, there were smudges, from IDK what. After seeing the bathroom not being thoroughly cleaned, I was hesitant to actually sleep in the bed. You can see that the whole place is trying its hardest to be fancy as it can in poverty stricken TJ - they are trying its hardest to sound like this awesome place to stay with a casino & a bar right in the middle of the lobby. The overall layout of the room was rather interesting - it was curved & the tv seemed very far away from the bed. The only good thing about this place? Our room was on the 31st floor & was overlooking a golf course. At least parking only cost 90 cents (USD). I'm not sure if if would stay here again due to the bathroom not being cleaned. read more

After having the best vacation in Cancun with the family. We were exhausted ready to get some rest after long flights. Every time we come to TJ this is our favorite place to stay when we come to Mexico. Great customer service. Our check in got a little frustrated and it was passed midnight and it was late. But, Orlando and Erica on the late night shift and in the morning front desk when we checked out made it a great experience. Everything was just perfect and the bell staff that helps with the luggage and valet parking. Everything was amazing and outstanding experience to stay there again! We made the right choice like always! Thank you Orlando for executing a great and professional manner this night for us. We will be back like always. read more

omg my wife was returning from restroom out at pool we are Americans so a guy (Hispanic) in the pool asked her a who she was here with my wife answered her husband then started to walk away when a jealous woman(Hispanic) pushed her in the pool. my wife and I are senior citizens I requested for hotel manager to show up after which he heard me but did not respond then he talked with the guy in pool and the woman in Spanish the manager then walked away I had to hunt him down to determine what was going to happen and he responded that the woman promised not to do it again and was allowed to stay. I expressed my objection but was told that I was welcome to call police but if I did it would not work to my favor. read more

My mom and I stayed here after a procedure our family had within the same building. The rooms are spacious, clean and nice. The staff at the check in desks are not the nicest so that would be my only criticism. For such a well known and nice hotel you would think they would be a little friendlier. It's close to the border and has a food court within the hotel also. Beds are comfy and so are the pillows, but then again I always like having about 8 pillows to build my pillow fort and I must say these pillows were hella comfy!! Their concierge staff is very nice. The hotel itself also has a bar once you walk in. It's clean and modern. It's a great hotel to stay at. I already have reservations for it for a festival I am going to in a couple of months :) happy yelping mis amigos! read more

Stayed on the 10th floor which is set up for medical tourist. I was here during Covid - the practices were consistent with best practices in other hotels I have recently visited in the US & Mexico. Parking below, make sure to validate your ticket to pay the nominal parking fee. Didn't visit the casino on the first floor or use any food service. Room was fine. Bed and sheet quality was fair. Bathroom and AC were good. Like most casino hotel, in room TV was light, English language programing was very minimal and internet was poor. Coffee maker and fridge in the room. Sept 2020 read more

Hotel is convienetly located near restaurants and nightlife. Front lobby and rooms are exceptionally clean. Front desk and bellboys are very helpful at whatever time you call or see them. However the service at the lobby bar was not the best. Pool was crowded and outdated. Live music throughout Saturday at the pool area. There is live music at the lobby on Friday evenings. This hotel is marketed as a "casino" and that is not the case. Very disappointing. read more

Grand Hotel Tijuana - Hotels Near Me - Tijuana, BCN

Clean spacious hotel with a traditional old school lobby. Small bar but well light with sexy blue lights, with a little boom box that plays the tunes. The room was very roomy, great A/C. Bathroom was big had a tub shower. Products were weak and I advise you to bring your own. The products left you feeling like you need another scrub and rise. Towels are crunchy but this is part of the experience. For the price this hotel rocks and doesn't break the budget. On the weekend they have a buffet which looks decent and they have live cheesy music. Room service was medium price range, didn't go through the late night dialing but looked at the menu prices and were about $12-$15 so not bad but don't know about the portions or quality. I would recommend this spot it's in a decent location where you have a selection of restaurants and bars around so you can stumble home. Can't beat the price! read more
