My friends and I enjoyed our four-night stay at Frendz Hostel! The room was spacious enough for four people, and the bed was both comfortable and large. The water pressure in the shower was surprisingly strong. When we requested room cleaning, they did a great job tidying up. Additionally, the food in their restaurant was surprisingly good as well! Overall, our stay was excellent. Thanks to the team at Frendz Hostel!

Staff members are always there to help and they smile no matter what. It's a 45 minute walk from downtown, where the harbour and the main places are, but it's okay, otherwise you just pay a tuk tuk, they have a nice view, they offer tours and they have themed nights every evening.

    The Hostel is very welcoming, providing free breakfast to those staying. The staff and managers were all especially kind and treated you with respect & were able to help with trips and tours. It was my first experience in a hostel & I met loads of new people and had an unforgettable experience. The place had a perfect balance of fun & relaxing moments with the different activities they did every night which was also nice. An overall great place to stay for those on a budget and especially solo travellers

    The hostel is very clean and modern. The staff is really great and helpful. The breakfast is very good, and the restaurant in the youth hostel offers really delicious dishes for cheap. The hostel is located just a two-minute walk from the city centre. I recommend, I had a very pleasant stay there👍👌

    One of the best hostel I've been to so far. Located a little outside El Nido, the place is quiet at night. Great vibe and music until 8-9pm. Good value for money. The facilities are very good, first time I see bunk beds with double sized mattresses. Everything has been well thought about. The building itself is very cool and the space invites to chill. Breakfast is amazing, with omelet station and plenty of food. Staff is super nice.

    Probably the best hostel I stayed in, very private place to sleep (with the door and the shelves and private fan and light and pretty spacious). Great location, very friendly staff, water and snacks for free. It was a great experience!
