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."

"Olen niin iloinen henkilöstöstä, joka tarjosi minulle hämmästyttävää palvelua ja vieraanvaraisuutta. Kudos NINAlle, Walterille ja kaikille henkilöstölle, jotka antoivat minut tuntea tervetulleita ja arvostettu. Olen varmasti takaisin. Huone on puhdas ja on viileä AC. Rauhallinen ja kotimainen paikka jäädä. Vain 1 matka lentokentältä ja läheisyydessä turistikohteita"

"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"

"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."

"I went on a 13-day trip around Palawan and Coron was my first stop from Cebu. In Coron, I stayed in Dayon Hostel. I was alone for the duration of my three-night stay in the six-bed female dorm. You can choose to lock the door at night for security. I made sure that I turned off the AC every time I went out. The restrooms are clean especially the toilets although the shower rooms need to be upgraded as some showerheads do not function that well. It will also be nice if they do a thorough cleaning of the shower rooms and the sinks as they looked dirty and unkempt. There is a restaurant on the rooftop but the options are limited. If you exit through the back, it leads you the main road where you will find a wonderful cafe that serves good sausage meals. There are also several local options available if you want affordable options. The price I paid was worth the quality of the stay. The hostel is known by tour operators and guides and so it was not a challenge when it was time for pick-up and drop off. I loved the staff especially when I had to leave early in the morning to head to the port for my trip to El Nido. They arranged my transportation and made sure that I left the hostel on time. Will I go back? Maybe not and it's not because I don't like it. It's just that I felt that my next stay should be in a private room for another worthwhile experience in Coron. But for those solo travelers on a budget, Dayon Hostel is your best bet in Coron in as far as affordable sleeping option is concerned."
