Lock in a great price for DW Motel – rated 8.2 by recent guests!

to get started.

What I liked about DW Motel was that it's very close to the city centre (so you can be in most of the restaurants / shops / shopping center in a matter of minutes) but at the same time is far enough from the centre so it's pretty quiet there. I was also very happy with the cleanness inside my room and with a friendly and helpful personnel. For money I paid, I got more than I needed. If I ever come to Palau again, I don't think I will choose any other place than DW.

The bed was very comfortable, air conditioning worked very well, it was quiet and there was a nice mini fridge in the room. I also appreciated the communal kitchen and the coin op clothes washing machines on site. This is a great budget no-frills hotel. Everything you need for a comfortable stay while diving, snorkeling, kayaking etc in the Rock Islands

Trina, United States of America

Excellent budget hotel. (Please beware, Koror is NOT a cheap place, so I would doubt very much it is possible to find anything better at this price). Exceptionally clean, and very friendly and helpful staff, arranging transfers, recommending hotels, helping with car hire. The atmosphere is very relaxed, catering mainly for divers. There is a space to wash and dry diving gear. Internet is slow, but it is the case all over the island. I would recommend to anyone coming to Koror for diving on a reasonable budget.

Panos, United Kingdom

The location midway between the boat tour companies to the south, and downtown Koror to the north was perfect, and the Rock Island Cafe right across the street is a handy place to eat any time of day. The staff was friendly and very helpful with delivering messages and letting us use their phone. Receiving complimentary chilled bottled water on arrival was a nice touch, and it was great having a refrigerator/freezer in the room. The mattresses were very firm, and might be too hard for some people, but were perfect for us. What a surprise to find our towels folded into different animals each day! We would definitely stay here again.

Lynn, Guam

The location was good, 10 minute walk to restaurants area. All staff were very nice and helpful.

Mohamad, Qatar

akyko was so kind for my family. it was very cozy motel and service was nice!

Myeongjin, South Korea

Excellent location, extremely clean and comfortable, friendly and helpful staff.

Marguerite, Hong Kong

This is a great budget hotel and provides excellent service, especially if you are a Scuba Diver as they have an area dedicated to gear washing and drying. They provide clean, basic rooms with air conditioning, laundry facilities, and basic cooking area. You can walk to most services you will need or get picked up for no charge by the restaurant or tour. I highly recommend if you are looking for simple accommodation and not an all inclusive resort.

Darren, Canada

I enjoyed my stay at DW Motel. It's close to all the sights of Koror (about 20 min walk). The Rock Cafe opposite the street has tasty food. The staff was very nice and helpful. It was quiet at night.

“DW is great. I'll be back. :)”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Standard Double or Twin Room
- • Stayed 11 nights
눉The only issue I can think of was that almost every night I could hear some loudly speaking people in the lobby (but not the staff). But I'm sure it's a universal problem in Palau, because almost every plane gets there around 1-2 am in the morning and I guess these people slept on the plane and right after the arrival they're so excited they just need to.. talk it out. But it's nothing good old earplugs couldn't solve. :)
눇What I liked about DW Motel was that it's very close to the city centre (so you can be in most of the restaurants / shops / shopping center in a matter of minutes) but at the same time is far enough from the centre so it's pretty quiet there. I was also very happy with the cleanness inside my room and with a friendly and helpful personnel. For money I paid, I got more than I needed.

“Not worth the money”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Superior Double or Twin Room
- • Stayed 3 nights
눉There is no elevator in this motel. If you are in the third floor, you have to carry your heavy luggage up 3 flights of steep staircases on your own. It is a second class motel at best (see pictures), more like a hostel with an en-suite private bedroom and kitchen facility. Believe it or not, there is no TV either in the rooms or even in the common sitting area. Being in Koror, this place can demand and get $92 per night (room charges inclusive of taxes). Elsewhere, it would be a $50 per night facility at best.

“Clean and comfy”

- • Standard Double or Twin Room
- • Stayed 6 nights
- • Submitted from a mobile device
눉I wish they would've made my late checkout more customer friendly. They charged me for every hour after 11 am. Considering their clientele I think it would go a long way to support their customers if they'd extend the checkout time differently.
눇It is precisely what you expect; a basic, clean room w little extras (i.e. no tv, telephone, or wifi). The room is clean and comfortable and the property overall is clean and comfortable. It's very basic but essentially all that you need. I enjoyed my stay at DW and disconnecting from 24/7 wifi. You can purchase a wifi card to make the important connections. I was in Palau to dive so the DW was ideal. I wasn't looking to hangout in my room so the no tv or wifi wasn't an issue. It's located in a quiet area and it's within walking distance to everything in Kuror. There are plenty of eating/shopping options very close.

Disappointing
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Standard Double or Twin Room
- • Stayed 5 nights
- • Submitted from a mobile device
눉I called the hotel prior to my arrival to arrange a shuttle service from the airport. I was told the shuttle service is provided by another company and that they were closed for the day and so no shuttle could be organised. Upon arrival there were no taxis at the airport and the information desk were unable to arrange for one to come. The lady from the information desk drove me to the hotel. Upon arrival I saw a hotel mini bus parked outside reception. Would be good customer service for the hotel to provide a shuttle service. The staff here are not very friendly or helpful. I asked about car rental but the prices are high. I arranged rental at a much more reasonable rate at another company. There are no TV's in the rooms - I was told this keeps the prices low. 🤔 During my stay I paid US $140 per night (high season rate) for the first 2 nights then $70 for the next 3 nights (low season rate). The rooms are maybe worth $50 per night in te real world. Better value elsewhere on the Island. The beds here are not comfortable - you can feel the springs. The linen consists of two scratchy blankets which are each the size of a bath sheet. Not very useful for anyone other than a midget. Finally - I asked for a late check out (all flights leave Palau in the evening). Check out time is 11am. Any additional hours are charged at $10 per hour. If you wish to stay until 6pm you will pay an additional day. Not reasonable at all.

눉For the price, I cant complain.
눇The staff were friendly and always willing to help you. The beds were comfortable. Air con, shower, and refrigerator worked well. It is one of the lower priced places to stay in Palau. However, if you spent most of your time scuba diving like I did, a nice beach and swimming pool is not as important. Also, it is in a quiet location a little way from the main highway.

“Good place for 1-2 days.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Standard Double or Twin Room
- • Stayed 1 night
눉There aren`t TV in rooms.
눇Excellent hotel if you need to stay for 1-2 days. Location - 5-7 minutes walk to the shopping center, shops, restaurants and cafes. If you want to save on food - shared kitchen to help you. It has everything, from salt / pepper / oil to a microwave / Multivarki etc. All the necessary utensils, too, is available. Excellent breakfast is near of DW motel, in Café Rock Island Cafe. But in general, with meal on Palau is not problems. No beach, but it does not matter. I can recommend a delightful little cozy beach hotel Palau Passion (to the right of the motel), walking 15-20 minutes. Cost $ 25 + water / tea / coffee + cupcakes. Beach towel must be taken at the reception in your motel. The motel is very quiet at night, but the audibility in the rooms decent. If a group of Chinese comes - wake everyone. Vacationing in this motel certainly boring, you will need all the time to go on trips, etc. But to spend time waiting for, for example diving safari or airplane departure - the most it. I recommend.
