This is a beautiful new accommodation just a 5/10 min tuk tuk from the main hustle bustle of el nido, so ideal to escape the chaos of the main town. The accommodation itself is really beautiful and you couldn't get any better staff looking after you. The shower facilities are the best I've experienced in the Philippines. If I'm ever back in el nido this is the only place for me to stay

The hostel is very conveniently located - it’s a 5 minute walk from the main town and is surrounded by plenty of eateries and bars. The Canopy Walk is very close as well and so is the pier + the beach. The rooms are incredibly clean and the staff is lovely and super helpful - Anne, Sherrie, Claire are all exceptional! They suggested great places to go out for dinner, helped us arrange our transport and even helped us find accommodation for the next leg of our stay in El Nido. The breakfast is scrumptious - an egg counter, fluffy pancakes and seasonal fruits with juices and coffee. We stayed in the 2 person dorms + a single room as well and they were all super clean and well maintained. Could not recommend enough!

Amazing location! Right on the beach so had beautiful sunsets and ocean view. The town isn’t super nice so it was good to stay about 5-10 mins out (tricycles are always outside and about 150 peso to get into town) so this was great. Lots of restaurants nearby to walk to and vanilla beach about 10 mins via trike. Was so glad to stay somewhere so beautiful. The staff were super friendly and made you feel so welcome. Also really helpful and able to book all excursions through them which was great to meet people. Common area is so nice, amazing food and drinks served all day so good to chill in then always something social going on in the eve which helped with meeting similar people. Rooms were good, we stayed in a 4 person dorm which had ample space, AC and comfy beds. Bathrooms were also always clean.

The staff at this hostel and bar make it well worth the stay. Robbie is absolutely wonderful—she was incredibly accommodating and helped me with everything I needed, especially when my flight was cancelled due to a typhoon. She organised everything for me with no fuss. Robbie is just one part of the picture. The rest of the team around the hostel and bar are fantastic—so generous and helpful that they even gave me a personalised t-shirt as a memento of my stay. I highly recommend staying here, you'll truly feel like part of the family.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    The Hostel is very welcoming, providing free breakfast to those staying. The staff and managers were all especially kind and treated you with respect & were able to help with trips and tours. It was my first experience in a hostel & I met loads of new people and had an unforgettable experience. The place had a perfect balance of fun & relaxing moments with the different activities they did every night which was also nice. An overall great place to stay for those on a budget and especially solo travellers

    The hostel is very clean and modern. The staff is really great and helpful. The breakfast is very good, and the restaurant in the youth hostel offers really delicious dishes for cheap. The hostel is located just a two-minute walk from the city centre. I recommend, I had a very pleasant stay there👍👌

    One of the best hostel I've been to so far. Located a little outside El Nido, the place is quiet at night. Great vibe and music until 8-9pm. Good value for money. The facilities are very good, first time I see bunk beds with double sized mattresses. Everything has been well thought about. The building itself is very cool and the space invites to chill. Breakfast is amazing, with omelet station and plenty of food. Staff is super nice.

    Probably the best hostel I stayed in, very private place to sleep (with the door and the shelves and private fan and light and pretty spacious). Great location, very friendly staff, water and snacks for free. It was a great experience!
