Thanks to Cath for her absolute hospitality and kindness all throughout my stay. She's a gem of the hostel.
The property's a bit old and far from the downtown proper.

Good hostel, good location, friendly staff. Best place in El Nido to get laundry done!
6 / 10Average·Apr 2025
The beds are quite uncomfortable and they do not have a real duvet for the beds - only a thin blanket. The curtains around the beds are completely see-through so they’re like pointless. There is no where to put your luggage so the floor is just covered in 8 people’s worth of luggage because they decided to fit an extra 2 beds into every room instead of somewhere to store your belongings. The prices are quite high considering the rooms and bathrooms and beds.
Also, the wifi is absolutely awful!!!
However, when my friend got sick with food poisoning the staff was really nice and helpful. The free breakfast is decent and the free drinks from 7-11pm was quite nice.
