The only backpacker option here but it's good quality and value. 10 min walk to town / bars but local shops are closer. Staff speak good English, are friendly and accommodating. Small but congenial communal areas. Sheets clean tho bathroom is a little on the older side. Overall, very pleased. More

There are a ton of hotels in Ensenada, but this is the ONLY hostel in the city, and at $18 a person for a dorm bed, it's also the cheapest. That is it's main claim to fame. Oddly Baja lacks hostels in general. Ensenada Backpacker is trying to change that. The price includes a free simple breakfast (coffee & toast),... More

I stayed in Ensenada for four days and altough the hostel might not be state of the art in every way and be lacking a proper table to eat at or a television it makes up for that with a very nice atmosphere. The staff is very nice and easy going and they have a great book shelf for reading. More

There was another 6 bed dorm connected to our dorm with no door seperating the rooms. You hadto go through the... More

wish we knew about this place our first night in Ensenada. The staff are very friendly and have great advice about exploring Baja. Very welcoming atmosphere. Carlos, the owner, treated us as if we were old friends stopping in for a visit. Highly recommended. More

I had a great time at Ensenada Backpacker and i feel really lucky to have picked Ensenada Backpacker as the first stop of my first road trip in Baja. It turned out to be a wonderful introduction to charming Baja, thanks to all the fantastic and practical suggestions and tips from Carlos, the friendly owner of the hostel. More
