    There’s no elevators but they have staff to help you with your luggage.

    The location was incredible. In the heart of El Nido. The rooms were very clean. You have everything for a good stay.

    The internet kept on disconnecting. Minor inconvenience to be honest.

    The staff are really friendly. The concierge, especially Ate Gen and MJ, were really friendly and approachable and gave us some tips on how to get around. Staff always had a smile on their face. Love the Filipino hospitality! Room was spacious and had a good view of the mountain. Very close to everything and steps away from the beach. Breakfast was delicious and the staff are attentive of any allergies and special requests.

    4th floor with no elevator (understandable with constant blackouts in El Nido) but not advisable for elderly and with disabilities. No hair dryer.

    Central location to good restaurants and El Nido beach, friendly and accommodating staff, nice big rooms with a nice view of the limestone cliffs.

    The breakfast wasn’t great, even though it was free would still avoid but they would offer to make you a packed one if You had a tour booked which was a nice touch

    Super friendly staff who are always helping and keeping the place clean. Perfect location surrounded by cafes and bars and 2 min walk to the beach. Really big spacious rooms.

    Unfortunately, I would struggle to stay here if I ever returned to El Nido, as the Aircon was loud, but worst of all, the noise from outside from people & those motorbike trikes making a racket until the early hours. Didn't help with single glazed windows.

    It was in a great location, central to the beach, bars, shops, and restaurants. The room was big with big comfortable beds. The aircon was good, also good WiFi. The breakfast was included in the price, but even tho not big it was freshly made and did the job.

    It could get quite noisy at night but we still managed to sleep comfortably. Could have done with a duvet rather than just a sheet. Furniture in the room could definitely do with a refresh.

    Rooms were incredibly spacious and very clean. Several water machines around the hotel to refill our bottles. Comfortable bed and a powerful AC unit (which was quite loud). Staff were lovely and helped us out a lot with booking excursions and sorting takeaway breakfasts.

    Some noise from the street can be heard at night, but it was manageable compared to other places we've stayed at in the country.

    Nice staff, very big room, nice breakfast (although it can take very long to get it if you go around 8am). Great location, close to everything.

    Very basic amenities in the room. Breakfast was very average and lacked good vegetarian/vegan options.

    The room was clean & spacious. I highly recommend booking a room with a balcony, I feel like this made a big difference in our experience. Great location and a good bike hire place next door.

    Poor facilities: No refrigerator!!! No digital safety box, should keep the key always. No phone No elevator Just a soap as a packed toiletries Noisey air conditioner, thermostat work not good to maintain room temperature No night time front desk, I need blanket 2am I went 2 floor to get from security person

    Location is the Most important aspect I like in main street although noisy outside but I like to be in heart of the city. Then staff was polite and welcoming. All Cleaning staff, receptionist and boys carry the luggages many stairs. Good to have breakfast included but not buffet and by order so slow service

    With earplugs we slept well. The window and balcony door could be better insulated against the street noise.

    The hotel and staff are great, you will be treated exceptionally well here. Breakfast choices range from western to pinoy and plant based options are available too. Everything is made fresh. The staff was fantastic, the room was large and comfortable and had everything we needed including 4 pillows and cleaning everyday. The bed was comfortable, the AC powerful and the location cannot be better. The hotel is situated in the town center within a few steps from shops, restaurants, the beach, scooter rental and ATMs. The staff is very helpful at arranging tours at the market price.

    Excellent Location for Island Hopping Tours in El Nido!

    Wi-Fi is pretty non existent. It would kicked us out and we had to log back in. A day before check out, we had to get new usernames and passwords because it didn't accept old credentials. Since the hotel is in the heart of downtown El Nido, we could hear the noise from the vehicles and foot traffic below from the 3rd floor. This is always a trade off if you want to stay at the center of all the action. If you are light sleeper, bring ear plugs. We got use to it but the lack of Wi-Fi was more of a pressing issue.

    It doesn't get more central than this hotel in El Nido. The hotel takes up an entire block. We were able to easily walk everywhere around town including the beachfront where many of the restaurants, shops, and island hopping tours operate from. Our room was spacious and the hotel didn't feel crowded at all. The hotel provides free water fills so no need to buy single use plastic water bottles. Breakfast on the fourth floor was decent with nice views and breakfast options.
