Hostels EL Nido

The best facility you could have in El Nido - budget or premium. Everything is so well planned and designed. There is not a single point you could complain about. Let’s go one by one 1. Location - right in heart of El nido township. 450 meter or 6 minutes walk to El nido beach where tours begin 2. Pricing - facility provides best available features but pricing is very economical. I was born an Indian. I understand the value for money, this place is what best describes it 3. Staff - they are very courteous and welcoming. 4. Cleanliness - this facility started in 2024 I think. Everything is new and so well maintained Sheets are super clean , so are washrooms and all other places 5. Comes my favourite part - facilities and layout - this hotel has everything you would need. Now if you expect Casinos or shopping malls within a hotel - please don’t come to El nido , you are better off in a tier 1 city anywhere in the world. This hotel provides free breakfast. I booked @ 22.5 CAD a night. If you book early , you could get a dorm for 15 CAD or 11 USD or whatever currency you use - please convert. I could not get it for my first night as only female dorm was available by the time I booked. I booked my first night at One hostel. One hostel is ok, price is super cheap @ 500 php for a mixed dorm but is no where compared to Spin. What Spin offers - free breakfast, there is a free laundry, washing machines - do your laundry here , just get your own detergent , swimming pool - beautiful layout of hotel , a in-house full sized bar with staff - don’t need to go out for a drink at all, one complimentary mock tail voucher upon your arrival ( I got it when I arrived , rules may change with times ) , there is in-house ATM by the bar ( this is the most importantly feature - I have a night limit credit card and I don’t feel comfortable using it in unknown places especially in Asia and compromising it. You are secure to use a ATM which is in your hotel ), there is a designer space for hanging out just besides reception, a beautiful and spacious cafeteria. You can book your tours , hire a bike and book your return to Puerto Princesa from reception. They just note down you name and you pay directly to their partner. The rates are standard and fixed rates of market. They have game nights like beer pong when I arrived, check the short video. The layout of this place is so so good that I wish I could stay here yearlong. Everything is where it should be - it’s indeed a designer hotel. There is a faucet outside hotel to wash your feet - they do get sandy when you arrive from beach- everyone in El nido is a bag packer and wears sleepers when going out. The dorms are so spacious. The lockers are so big for every bunk bed , there is curtain for your bunk bed - full 360 degree of privacy , shared washrooms are big and toilet and shower areas are completely different - you will feel so clean during and after taking a bath as there is no possibility of a urea smell. The sockets in your bunk are so ideally positioned, big mirrors available in washroom and your own room. What it doesn’t have - only a shuttle to the moon I believe Now I did mention I had to book one hostel for my first night of stay. But I visited SPIN upon my arrival , checked out the facility and asked them to book me a tour as I would transfer here next day anyway. When I arrived here early at 7.30 am next morning, the receptionist gave me free breakfast. ( due to be noted that I had not stayed here the last night and that this was way out of the way for early checkin) 10 out of 5 stars for giving me the unexpected and unimaginable at such a great price. I have an option to go for Coron on last day of my stay but I will rather stay here not to loose my one night stay opportunity. Coron can wait , I won’t waste my SPIN night

Lovely and friendly staff, they were very helpful on answering questions and providing information about tours/ transport. I stayed in the private 6 bed room, it was very cosy and stuffy, each bed had its own fan but it wasn't enough cold air for the whole night. Each bed had a socket and a small cupboard to place your luggage, you might want to bring your own lock. The bed were a good size and soft. The restaurant had good food but a little pricey. Every night there is an event going on and music, luckily you don't hear it in the rooms. The bathroom/ shower are was clean and spacious, bring your own towel. One the best things about the Hostel is it has the best beach view, you only have to walk 2 mins and the sea is right there. However, to get to the hostel you have to walk through the sand to arrive there, if you have a suitcase be ready to carry it across the sand (backpack is easier). Overall, a lovely place to enjoy and relax for a beach holiday. Sand, sea and sun 🌞🌞🌞

A great hostel with all you need included, free breakfast, free alcoholic drinks from 6-11pm, personal lockers with combination code access so you don’t need your own lock, mineral water tank in the bathroom to brush your teeth, hot showers, even a small gym area. This hostel is super social so it’s great for solo travellers as well as groups, really affordable would recommend!!

The hotel is part of the eco hotel they have the same reception. Not expecting a great comfort and cleanness but against nothing to reiterate on the location, it is on the beach it is very pleasant to wake up and to be able to go to bath by walking there. The location is very good, quiet and beautiful, I've preferred El nido center which is very noisy. I work in Manila, I would return on a weekend because he is doing the business for the price and, frankly, you don't stay in his room with a similar frame 😉. I can recommend the elnidon dean travel and tours agency that is on the parking of scooters, Danica organized a private tour for the D tour for my mother's anniversary 👌

Advantages: For backpackers: the price is very affordable, and the most important thing is that it is within about 30 seconds of walking from the bus terminal. It is about 15 minutes away from Elnido beach. The owner of Elnido hostel is very nice, I like her so much🙊🙊, the owner's two daughters are very smart and lovely. I love them so much 😊😊 Cons: The air conditioner in the single room is too noisy 🙈🙈, unless you are very tired that day, you won’t hear anything🙊🙊 The water pressure in the shower room is not enough and needs to be improved.

So kind staff and helpful staff. Also a great location if you aim to primarily do tours. The beach where island tours start is just a minute walk away and after they set sail you have the whole beach to use when you want a relaxed day!

Great party hostel with lots of events and very good well trained staff. The location is ten minutes by tuk-tuk to town so isn’t the best but in return you do get to chill right on the beach. The food and drinks at the bar are amazing but they are a little more expensive than downtown el nido. The beds and the bathroom facilities are clean and well looked after with plenty of bum guns to sort you out after eating a bad meal in town. The entrance and exit could do with improving especially at night as you have to get in from the beach which isn’t ideal at night when there is a high tide and/ or loads of rabid dogs barking and running toward you.
