Lock in a great price for DW Motel – rated 8.5 by recent guests!

to get started.

The staff are all wonderful. Friendly and helpful people working at the desk, and cleaning staff who keep your room spotless daily (and leave beautiful towel art!). They can help book excursions and will make local calls for you if needed. The room has useful conveniences like a refrigerator so you can keep leftovers, breakfast, etc. and you can use the shared kitchen if you don’t want to eat out for every meal. The washing machines work great ($2 per wash/dry) and are a great amenity if you are traveling more broadly. Strong hot water in the shower. WiFi a bit slow but reliable. Thank you for a restful stay!

I stayed at the DW motel for two weeks in Apr-May 2019 and was very happy about the followings. The rooms are spotlessly clean The staff are very kind and helpful There is an own small refrigerator in each room and a shared kitchen also has a big one to store frozen food Free water/coffee/tea, lots of books (mostly in Japanese though) available in the common area Laundry facilities/ locked area to wash and dry diving gear Wifi works well - they have routers on each floor Within walking distance to the city center - e.g. 10 min walk to WCTC shopping center (5 min to desekel supermarket)

Reasonably priced for Palau, but basic. I would stay here again if I didn't want or need the resort experience. Pleasant and helpful staff. A quick walk to a good diner.

DW Motel is a great deal. It's simple, very clean and affordable. They have friendly dogs on the property which makes it feel welcoming. The staff is friendly and helpful. They gave good recommendations and helped arrange transportation. There is always coffee and tea available. Rock Island Cafe is basically across the street and a comforting diner atmosphere with familiar food. There are convenience stores and a market within walking distance. I recommend DW Motel for reliable and low budget stay.

Property was cozy..felt like home. Rooms were clean and comfortable. Decorations on bed (towel art) was wonderful. Nice area inside & outside to sit and relax. Nice kitchen if you needed to cook. Coffee & tea always available.

I LOVE this little place, such sweet people, quiet & clean. SO nice to have a fridge in room, a full shared kitchen and on-sight laundry. And internet that works in your room (which isn't the case for some of the big hotels). Great location to walk to restaurants either in Koror on on Malakal. So appreciate the affordability & comfort.

“Compared to what we would have had to pay in other places it was OK, but not great.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Stayed 7 nights
We had to go outside and lean over the balcony in order to connect to the wireless internet (or sit in the non AC guest 'lounge'.) It would be good to at least have an electric jug available in our room. A hotel dog barked a bit some nights and it had a bad habit of scrounging for food if we ate outside our room. Providing long term guests with an evening departing flight (24 hour duration in our case) with access to a late afternoon proper shower (for a fee if necessary) would have been a friendly and considerate act (as it was we were offered the use of the hose in the outside washdown area, which was better than nothing).
By comparison to most (all?) of the other accommodation options in Koror, this was the most affordable. Palau is not a cheap destination. This was more backpacker style which was fine given that we were able to meet and exchange travel info with other like-minded guests. The front desk was as helpful as they could be with local information and making phone calls on our behalf. Older towels were available for daily beach use. Rooms were cleaned and bath towels changed daily with some entertaining towel art appearing each day!

No view, sadly.
A basic, well maintained, very clean property in a quiet location, but very convenient to town, stores, restaurants. The staff were exceptionally accommodating with early check-ins and late check-outs. Good hot water for showers, access to kitchen and a mini-fridge in each room. AC was very good.
