EL Nido Hostels

From the minute we arrived quite late at night we were welcomed by Nanni the owner. This is a gem of a place. Lakwa has a cool vibe. Great little burger bar, delicious breakfasts and a great bar to hang at night for a drink. Room was very clean, quiet and modern. Nanni and his team offer off road dirt bike tours where you can see places others just don’t get to see. They also provide you with a scooter so you can get around and self explore El Nido. It’s also located 500 metres from the beautiful Lio Beach. Nanni, Alex and the team are a wealth of knowledge on areas to visit and assisted us with booking a tour. The motel room also has an information guide too which was very helpful. We give this motel and staff an 11/10. Can’t speak highly enough on how we appreciated their hospitality.

For its price-to-quality ratio, this is a good place. All the necessary shops, ATMs, the pier, and cafes are nearby. It's quite noisy, like everywhere in the city center, but the hotel offers earplugs, which helps a bit. The staff at the front desk are excellent! Breakfast is included in the price.

Excellent service and accommodating staffs. The rooms are clean and the foods are delicious. Will definitely go back again and recommend it to my friends. Special thanks to sir Lorenz, Sir Reginio and sir jethr 10/10🥰

Nice hotel, pleasant staff, cozy inside, free tea and coffee all the time, they keep it very clean, you can order breakfast, but after the first time we refused - it’s not very tasty. The rooms are normal - the bed and bed are comfortable, the air conditioning works well. Wifi, like everywhere else, can work intermittently, so there is no need to write complaints about it - overall it’s good. Of the minuses - sometimes the staff shouts at each other and it’s difficult to rest during the day in the heat, well, go downstairs and discuss the problem, why shout from the second floor to the first. One woman at the reception always sleeps at her workplace or somewhere near him, and is dissatisfied with everyone all the time, so taking or giving the room key is an unpleasant action, you always seem to owe her and it’s your fault)) The safe is small and not attached to the floor or furniture - in short, if someone needs it, he took the safe under his arm and went around the corner to open it.

We had a great stay here! The hotel is clean, new, and comfortable, and the room was cozy with a good bed and air con, and hot shower. The staff were very kind and accommodating, and helped us arrange our onward bus. The location was lovely too, just a 5-10 minute walk from the beach and bustle of the center, in a quieter area. We'd love to stay again!

This is a very homey accommodation that allows you to feel like a family guest instead of just some people in room 312. ”Cha” is a great hostess, making sure you are comfortable, happy and have all you need for your entire stay. And she is a great resource for all the activities going on in the city. Jonas cooks up a delicious breakfast and is always there with a smile to help you with whatever you need. The accommodation itself is cozy and familiar, as if you were staying with good friends or close family, and the location, so close to the beach, means that a beautiful sunset awaits you each and every day. I will miss this place and the people, and this will be my forever place whenever I come back to El Nido!

The hotel has a decent location, and everything about it is actually quite good, except for the management. We booked a deluxe room with a large bed and a balcony. We arrived late and were checked into a very basic economy room on the first floor of an annex building (Room B – more like a tiny closet than a room). All the receptionists, one after another, kept assuring us that this was indeed the room category we booked, claiming it had a sea view and they simply hadn't updated the photos, and that the balcony had been removed after a typhoon. They also said they couldn't reach the manager, and without the manager, they couldn't move us. We decided to leave for a Tour A, gathered all our belongings, and moved them to the luggage room, hoping they would be transferred to a different room later. However, upon our return, we were again given the key to the same economy room. After an hour of 'trying' to resolve the issue at reception, we were finally given a room on the second floor of the annex building (Room D) – it had no balcony, but it was bigger and cozier than the previous one (it had a safe, kettle, and a table with chairs – none of which were in Room B). This situation ruined our first impression, even though the hotel is otherwise not bad. It's in the heart of the action and convenient for those who came for sightseeing. The lingering feeling is unclear. We had little time for this place and really didn't want to spend it on arguments, room changes, and listening to people smilingly lie to your face. The photo shows Room D, the one we were moved to.

Nice Hotel with friendly Personal. We have a seaview room, the view is very nice… but many steps to climb. Rooms were big and clean, but you can hear the neighbor well. Breakfast was good but not many extensiv. For us the Hotel was good.

A good hotel for your money. I lived in it for 5 nights. The room is small , but we were with backpacks, so about whether the suitcases would be placed or not, have not checked). The window is there , the air conditioner is there (truly works so noisy as if you are in some server) , the water is hot too. There were plenty of glasses and teapot, but it was as if it was immediately indicated that you are not waiting. Towels and bed linen are clean and smell good. The hotel is on a busy street 5 minutes walk from the El Nido Beach and 10 minutes walk from Canopy Walk. During the arrival, the shelves were hit. The question was decided immediately. If you need cleaning, ask, I think, won't refuse. If you need to get from El Nido to the mine to Puerto Princess, then to the parking lot of the inter-urban routes 25 minutes walk to the market (oriented Pablic Market), there is a cashier. In general, good ratio : price-location-comfort 👌

It was a truly pleasant stay with a variety of choices of breakfast each day, with a stunning view of the sea and hills. Lemuel is a star server, who never missed a step in service in any way. He was professional, warm, helpful, and goes the extra mile to check in that we are fine whenever he can. He looked out for all guests no matter how busy it got, and helped with taking photos for the crowds too. While some other staff may have been blur, his presence and service made everything exceptional. He even shared with us that the sunset view from the hotel should not be missed, and it was good we were back in time one of the days to enjoy the view from the hotel. Great stay.
