Happiness Hostel El Nido is honestly one of the best hostels we’ve ever stayed in. It’s right on the beach, the atmosphere is lively with daily activities, and the staff are incredibly friendly. They offer free coffee and bananas, the washrooms are clean, and the beds are genuinely comfortable. The hostel’s restaurant and bar are great as well, and guests get a nice discount. I honestly couldn’t find anything negative to say about this place. Highly recommended if you want a fun, comfortable, beachfront stay in El Nido.

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!
