    A good little hotel to base yourself in El Nido

    No elevator, the rooftop bar area is no longer used which is such a shame. The rooms were quite small for the price, and we had a bunk bed in our room. There is a 10 minute walk to the centre but we didn’t mind this. There is no restaurant/breakfast option in the hotel which some people may not like.

    Modern and clean room, however small. The staff were great. They gave us vouchers to use in a great coffee place down in the centre which we appreciated. The coffee there is really good! They organised our lunches and tours with a good company.

    A window would have been lovely but we mostly used the room to escape the heat so it wasn’t a big problem

    Great location close enough to the restaurants and bars but far enough that it was quiet. Loved this area of El Nido, super convenient for activities and lots of great places to eat. The staff were lovely and couldn’t do enough for us. One receptionist even ran down the road to get change for us to pay a tricycle driver!

    J Boutique Hotel is a fantastic find! It's right in the heart of town, so getting around is a breeze. The rooms are super clean, and they even offer free coffee, tea, and water every day in the hallway – a nice bonus! Plus, the staff are really friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend J Boutique Hotel for a great stay in town!

    The staff was very nice. The accommodation was exactly as described and after our 3 day excursion it was ideal to unwind here. The price in retrospect was a bit on the high side compared to other locations, but that does not detract from our stay. Absolutely recommended!

    Tip for light sleepers: We booked two different rooms - queen deluxe very spacious but very noisy due to the street. Ear plugs helping only a litte. And one bunk bed room - In reality more tiny than on the pictures, but possible to manage with storage under bed :) The good side on this room was that is was quiet with only a small bathroom window facing directly the wall of the next hotel - we did not mind as we were able to sleep quietly in contrast to our friends. Also it was in between two other rooms to block out street noises. Rooftop needs improvement - no sun shading during day and one area half under construction but without construction - looks like an abandoned unfinished restaurant place.

    The exceptional staff at the front desk is incredible, helping in every way possible. Easy whats app communication to book tours/transfers even on short notice. Very good room cleaning service. Quiet aircon and comfy beds. At the end of town and a tiny bit more relaxed vibe, really short walk to center.

    The hotel is so beautifully decorated and the location was great and quiet, just a short walk to all the stores and restaurants, I felt very safe in this area, also a bonus is there's a supermarket 2 min walk away where you can get water and things you need. The staff here was very welcoming and so friendly and especially Lanz, he was so kind and very passionate of the history of the area, I really enjoyed having a chat with him about the history of El Nido, I would highly recommend staying here, That you Lanz for a wonderful stay!

    The room we had was pretty small and we didn't have plenty of space to organize our luggage. However, there are bigger rooms available. The bathroom door doesn't offer any privacy since you can hear everything.

    The hotel is very clean and has a quite luxurious feeling to it. The location is good and you're in the city center in less then 10 minutes. Staff is friendly and welcoming.

    No breakfast/food in the stay, but not a dealbreaker for us.

    Room was clean. We had the superior family room. More than enough room for 4 adults. Bathroom/shower was great. Be mindful, need to use stairs. I don’t think I noticed an elevator. Staff was nice. Had zero noise complaints. We did not mind being far from the main part of El Nido. It’s about a 10 min walk. There was also a tour office across the street Akingventures which was great and cheaper. Safe area.

    - no breakfast provided which, given the price, there should have been - there are no windows to the outside that can be opened. some overlook an interior area and others are right in front of another building - noise can be an issue, although it wasn't for us, just be aware of it

    + comfortable rooms and beds + great location - you can just walk to the centre of el nido + super friendly and helpful staff + free van service to and from the airport + cleanliness

    You could see through the door at the frame and hear the neighbors arriving home in the middle of the night.

    Aircon, warm water, not a party location (perfect for families) but still walking distance to port, shops,etc. Tours could be booked directly with them. Easy to take tricycles to visit other beaches. Free wifi worked well. Fridge with freezer in the room. Friendly and helpful staff.

    For a family room I think maybe a toaster and microwave would make this hotel exceptional as there is no breakfast facilities on site. However, staff were amazing and heated our food for us.

    Staff were very helpful and excellent service keeping the rooms tidy, lots and lots of extra towels and excellent cleanliness. The room was brilliant for a family with 3 children and 3 adults with lots of space and love the decor.

    Highly recommended!! Near the city center and in a good price for group of five, we are beside the lobby so we can use the lobby’s restroom. (As we only have one as a group) Staffs are so nice and welcoming, always smiling and helping. The well design bunk beds are such an inspo, well thought of ✅✅✅ such a clean room, I love how spacious the restroom.

    a little far away from beach, but only cost 10-15min. But it comes good thing ——quite environment,not bars balabalabala all night. Not really a drawback.

    The stuff is nice and helpful. The J Bontique hotel is under H hotel group. Their collaborated tour shop is Discover El-nido,which is extremely good, we have traveled with them four days four different tours. One day, they inform me at our room gate, Tour C & B is canceled because bad weather and coast guard prohibit go out to Tour C. They help me change it into Tour A. That is very convinent(book at the hotel, compare with book at the town). Finally, we finished all of four tours for very good lucky. The rooftop is very useful, we can use it to wash and hang clothes to dry. This won't make our room wet and dirty. Fee of extra bed can be set into the room. The price is reasonable, which is 700p/night.
