Service at front desk was excellent. The availability of a Fast Pass with my stay was a great selling point. Rooms were ok; small shower, bathroom door didnt completely shut & tv pucture was grainy. However, room had a nice balcony with great view of Ensenada. Although I felt completely safe during my stay, parking is private but not secure... More

This was my second time staying at this property. It is clean, basic and located near all that Ensenada has to offer. Parking is nicely secured and the front desk attendant is bilingual and very kind and accomodating. The pool is nice to sit by, but was very cold, as well as the Hot Tub. I don't believe the Hot...

This is one of the best values in Baja California.

Stayed here for only one night on 26 March, but absolutely will return! This was a quick trip to see if we liked Ensenada - and we certainly do! It has many more charms to explore. Couple the town with this hotel, and it totals a great get-away. The manager, Mr. Ramirez, works tirelessly to make his guests happy. We... More

We are visiting Ensenada at least 3 times a year and for the past 7 years this Hotel is our only campground. The rooms are nice, cozy, charming; not your regular "commercial" accommodations. Great location that gives immediate access to downtown, beachwalk, markets and restaurants. Agree with another reviewer about the front desk personnel: while male front desk attendant could... More

After spending two weeks looking at different hotels, I ended choosing Posada El Rey Sol over the others. What made my decision easier was reading the reviews on TripAdvisor. I booked my stay through Expedia and the prices were unbeatable (for those who have AAA towing services....make sure to take advantage of their discount, I received a $24/night discount). We... More

It is a great value hotel, you get a free breakfast in its french-mexican restaurant. And is strategically located far enough from the bars so you don't have any trouble sleeping with loud music.
