We loved our stay at Spin Hostel - the design of the hostel is beautiful. There is a lovely pool with an outdoor bar and restaurant (we tried the pizza and pumpkin salad which were both great). The hostel is close to town so very easy to walk in, but not situated directly on the main strip which is perfect as it's a bit quieter. The private room was great, it felt safe, the free breakfast was lovely every morning (especially the pancakes). I also want to mention that the staff are amazing - my partner became unwell during our trip and they were so helpful (special shout out to you Jonathan, you are the best!)

My stay at Frida Ka was very nice. The hostel is located right along the main pathway to the beach, though I didn’t spend much time there. More importantly, it’s in the heart of the main strip, making it super easy to walk to all the nearby restaurants and shops. Although it’s a hostel, it’s not a social one, which made for a quiet and relaxing stay. I stayed in a mixed dorm and had no issues with the other occupants. The breakfast was great—not included, but reasonably priced for the area. The staff was friendly and always remembered me whenever I passed by, which added a nice personal touch. Overall, I had a great experience and would definitely stay here again!

Outpost Beach Hostel

This was by far our favorite hostel experience! The location right at the beach is great, although far from town. But this is the place to be, you don't need to go to town every night. Otherwise it's just a 10 minute ride. The staff is amazing, very open and pro-active with guests. Make sure to not miss out on their island tours with great guides and amazing people. While the hostel is very social and there's usually parties in the evening, it's quiet time at 11 and the rooms are well separated from the loud common area. The kitchen is good, especially the jalapeno smash burger is 10/10, we ordered it at least 5 times. They have a nice payment concept with their Outpost card, you can use it to buy drinks, food and tours and pay the bill at checkout.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    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

    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!
