everything was spot on, the staff were soo accommodating and friendly. I had my own single room which was just perfect, would hands down recommend this place to solo and couple travelers I stayed there when the Typhoon hit in Oct 2022 and just the vibe of everyone there made the rainy weather seem not too bad 🤣 The hub down stairs had pretty good breakfast, the smoothie bowls were sooo good and the coffee was pretty decent too

Easy check in, beautiful location/design, the terrace, lounge area, eating area are so comfy to chill out. Location central in El nido. Staff is always cleaning the hostel and the bathrooms. They're also very friendly, polite and fun to be around. It's not the biggest party hostel, but perfect vibe and every evening there is an activity to participate in, like movie/bbq or karaoke nights. Also if needed you can book all the activities on El nido. Rooms are spacious, big lockers (bring your own lock), more than enough charging stations, and towel provided. I felt like living in a big family home where you can interact and make plans with friends but also chill on your own and just be surrounded by friendly people. I'm really sad I had to leave today

    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!
