    Always booked out lol

    I like the design and staff. The breakfast is great. The rooms provide all basic needs. Showers were good and had good water pressure.

    Great free breakfast with made to order eggs, fruit, juice, etc. Great common area, spacious and beautiful. Walkable location and spacious shared rooms with big lockers. There's a shared bathroom and a few female only individual bathrooms as well.

    The staffs were friendly and helpful. The room we stayed was a mixed dormitory room, it was spacious and with privacy, I particularly liked the high ceiling of the room. Also the location of the hostel was within a walk-distance from the centre and the beach, which made our stay convenient.

    This is a great hostel to stay in. It is a quiet hostel which we loved but still close to everything and if you want to liveliness you can grab a beer or a tour at a more lively hostel. The facilities were great and the beds were huge. We stayed in a 4 room and it was great. I would 100% recommend staying here if you are looking for a great place that isn't party 24/7. Also, its super close to the center.

    Being a design hostel, I would have expected more attention for the cleaning. Bathrooms always dirty, both in the morning when I wake up and in the evening when coming back from tours. They should be the first thing to clean in the morning and, since the hostel has many guests, be properly cleaned more time a day. Also the dorms should be better cleaned and open windows to change air

    I really liked the style of the hostel. Bed in dorms are huge and lot of space to store our stuff, from backpacks to small items. Enjoyed buffet breakfast. The ladies at the reception were very kind.

    Genuinely nothing that I disliked

    Loved the stay, every night they have something going on. Had a wonderful barbeque the first night, and joined for the movie night - they set up seats and a projector screen and it was really cute with popcorn provided. Breakfast was AMAZING and included - it really sets you up for a big day of exploring! Albie's omelette's were top notch. Also his barbeque skills! Made some wonderful friendships here <3 The staff pay extra attention to detail, I really felt taken care of like I was in a luxury resort. But with nicer people :) The bed was super comfy too! And town square is in walking distance

    Very good hostel!! Only a little noisy and if you have an upper bunk there are these small windows over your head which bring in quite a bit of light from the hallway. But the lower beds seemed great!

    Would recommend 100%. Staff was super friendly and helpful. Reception offers scooter rental and tours. Breakfast was solid. We really enjoyed the central location of the hostel which was not directly in the busy center of El Nido town. Best thing was Margarita Night for 100 pesos each :)

    Located 5 minute walk from the city center, but at the same time far from the chaos of the central streets. The rooms are clean and equipped with linen. The breakfast is amazing! The hostel relies on an agency to organize tours and travel, very convenient!

    I get chilly easily so I would've taken one more blanket or a bigger one...except from that I don't have anything to say

    It was clean, I had my own bedroom so my own shower and I could also manage my own AC which for me makes a big difference! The bed was comfy and I had hot water in the shower. Breakfast was good and you had choice! You also have access to drinkable water. Staff was very nice and helpful! Loved my stay here!

    The aircon in the room was quite loud.

    Great location - quiet but close to the town. Exceptional staff - they went above and beyond to help and gave us some brilliant advice about what to do in the area. Tours and motorbike rental could be booked easily from the front desk. The breakfast was good for the price - really enjoyed the freshly made pancakes and omelettes.

    Would be great to have more options for a vegan breakfast like cereal or oatmeal. Maybe it can be in the back and you have a sign saying one can ask for it.

    Lovely hostel in town that feels more like a hotel. Comfy biig beds, curtains, ac, fan, shared bathroom and toilet but they have as well 2 only girls shower and bathroom. Great free breakfast from 07-09.00. You can walk 5 min and you are in the middle of town. Very friendly staff.
