Staff was friendly, enjoyed the access to the kitchen and lounge. Very helpful in booking activities and cars for things around the island. Good WiFi in central area. Clean rooms, hot shower. Nice area to dry dive gear off outside.

Brian United States of America

There are lots of gorgeous places to stay in and around Koror. But in my experience, they're overpriced. The DW is a pleasant exception. Although the DW isn't fancy, it's clean, quiet, convenient and friendly. The wifi works well. The staff is friendly. The Rock Island Cafe is just at 3 minute walk away. If you've come to Palau to board a liveaboard, the DW is a great place to spend a night or two before or after your cruise. I especially appreciated having an early checkin.

Nick United States of America

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!

Angela United Arab Emirates

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)

Dischidia Japan

Very good value. Beds were firm, showers were hot, and the decorations made with the towels on the bed were cute. Although some of the towels were ragged and full of holes. The front desk staff were not much... no smiles or hellos when passing the front desk. The gentleman was quick to help with the luggage which was great as there is no elevator. He helped us without us even needing to ask. I think we spoke to the manager on our way out and she was very friendly and pleasant. Really it was just the front desk women staff that were less than smiley.

Anonymous United States Minor Outlying Islands
