Palawan Hostellit

"It's unclear who came up with the idea of building a hostel inside a restaurant. The doors and walls are made of OSB, so the rooms constantly smell of food. There's always noise outside, so you can only rest when the restaurant isn't open. While hostel guests try to maintain silence during the day and especially in the evening, the restaurant and hostel staff simply don't care, and they can talk loudly until midnight. The girl who works the reception desk in the evening is incredibly stupid; she can't understand or answer even a basic question. Also, two days before my departure, I asked for an airport transfer, and even though it was 50 pesos more expensive than the tricycles outside, I agreed because I wanted to be sure they would definitely pick me up since I was booking a tricycle from the hostel. I reminded them of this request the evening before my departure; I was leaving early in the morning. In the end, no tricycle arrived; the night manager said, ”Tricycle not available.” WHAT??? I ended up having to catch a tricycle in the dark on the road because I had no idea how long it would have taken if I'd called one through an app. The hostel itself isn't bad, but the staff's lackadaisical attitude immediately lowers my rating."

"Hyvä palvelu. Jokaisessa huoneessa on lukki. Ne voivat antaa sinulle lainata lukki, jos sinulla ei ole yksi. Huoneessa sain oli 2 sängyt ja. oli alhaisemman sängyn. Jokaisella paketilla on oma oman lamppu, lataustila, kädensisältö, jossa voit sijoita pieniä esineitä, ja kuivausalue höyrypyyhkeitä, jne. He hostellissa on myös päivittäinen huonepalvelu puhdistus. Huoneissa on päivällinen buffet-tyylinen aamiainen, joka alkaa klo 6:00. Se oli riittävä ja heidän munia ja pannukakkuasema ei koskaan ole miss. Heillä on runsaasti henkilöstöä, joka voi auttaa vieraita koko oleskelunsa."

"Great party hostel with lots of events and very good well trained staff. The location is ten minutes by tuk-tuk to town so isn’t the best but in return you do get to chill right on the beach. The food and drinks at the bar are amazing but they are a little more expensive than downtown el nido. The beds and the bathroom facilities are clean and well looked after with plenty of bum guns to sort you out after eating a bad meal in town. The entrance and exit could do with improving especially at night as you have to get in from the beach which isn’t ideal at night when there is a high tide and/ or loads of rabid dogs barking and running toward you."

"The hosts are the friendliest people alive. They were so kind and helpful so I felt so comfortable. The room was great and big. It has an air conditioner and a small fan inside your box. Your capsule has a curtain made of wood and it was so cool. They provide a small breakfast since 7.30 am. It usually bananas, buns and peanut butter. On the first floor they have a cafe and you get a 15% discount if you're a guest of a hostel."

"Плюсы: заселили раньше времени,рано утром. Отличное месторасположение, до торгового центра 5м пешком минут 10, от аэропорта шла минут 20. Минусы: постель перёд моим заселением, похоже,не поменяли , на простыне и подушке волосы,полотенце коричневое. В ванной нет мыла,из крана идёт только чуть теплая вода. Одноместный номер очень маленький,спать с включенным кондиционером невозможно, дует прямо на кровать. Ресепшн как таковой отсутствует,не нашла кому озвучить все свои вопросы"

"This hostel is right at the beach . The personnel is wonderful and very helpful . The rooms are ok but my advice would be not to have the ones with the curtains as this hostel is a party hostel and it tend to be very noisy at night . They provide good food at a reasonable price and a free breakfast who is very good ( the pork Tocino is perfect ) They don’t provide transportation from airport to the hostel but the other way round is possible and will cost you 400 peso. There is no hot water in the whole hostel ( not really needed for shower ) but take it into consideration is you eve need to do laundry. At night this hostel is very lively and have a lot of activities like beer pong or quizz which makes it not hard to get on well with other customers . Finally I will definitely recommend this hostel to those who like to party and have a great time in el nido , for families it might be too noisy . Overall a great experience"

"Thank you so much Fil-Can hostel for being so accommodating. They also arranged our van pick up to the airport early in the morning."

"A vibe, with many backpackers and friendly staff. There is a rooftop pool with a bar area. You can chill and enjoy the view. Shared bathrooms are clean and they give you a towel. No soap, luckily I packed my own. They have really good pizza and a good breakfast menu. The front desk ladies organized my airport transportation easily. Bed was comfortable and clean with a blanket."
