Great place to sleep; limited scope to socialise

Much better than my stay at The Outpost a week ago. Decent sized single bed, effective blackout curtain, drying racks outside, a small changing area in the room for privacy, sufficient hooks for ‘stuff’ as well as aircon, a fan, plug sockets, hot water etc. It’s not somewhere to hang out although there’s the vegan cafe upstairs (they do have cows’ milk for coffee for those of us who still do that sort of thing) but it’s a great place to sleep despite its proximity to the main road. to the market and the bus terminal.

The cafe vibe was amazing and chill. The rooms match the vibe of the upstairs cafe which made it flow. The food in the cafe is something everyone should try (coming from someone who isn’t vegan)

Great hostel near town

Hostel is really great, new, clean, good facilities. Service is also perfect, really kind staff. Beach is nearby but probably you will have to go to near Cabanas beach for bathing. You can come to town for 50 php with tricycle or walk for 20 minutes.

A Value for Money stay at El Nido

The presence of owners AJ & AJ during arrival with chef Marcial who prepared healthy food (mostly vegan as the owners are!) from the kitchen and our conversations made our stay an awesome one. Staff Irish and Analyn were always present for the guests needs and drinking water is always available aside from the signature coffee. The comfort of the bed and the cleanliness of our airconditioned pod and the one of a kind experience of the toilet and bath and how it was conceptualized and organized should not be missed for recognition!

Pods were clean and the shower had hot water. There was air conditioning in the room too. They also arranged out mini-van back to Puerto Princessa (500 pesos) each and the journey took 5 hours. Breakfast could have been cheaper.

Staff so friendly, very clean and cold rooms with lovely cosy beds that have curtains for privacy. Stayed in another hostel around the same price in El Nido and this was just so much better. Couldn’t recommend it enough.

Loved this hostel! Definitely has a California vibe to it even in the Philippines. The staff was beyond amazing! The hostel was clean & safe. Everything worked great & it was a nice location as you didn’t have to listen to the hustle & bustle of El Nido, & you were only a 40 pesos ride away to get into town. Best place out of 5 places we stayed in the Philippines! If you are going to El Nido & want a I have a great time than stay here! Oh & the food was very good also!

El hotel cafetero en El Nido

El hotel está alejado del bullicio del centro de El Nido, el cual queda aproximadamente a 2 km. Es un lugar relativamente nuevo, muy buenas instalaciones, expertos en la preparación de café y comida occidental. ¡¡¡El mejor banananut shake que he probado!!! El staff es muy amable y atento a tus necesidades, buena música, apacible el área común de la cafetería. Las habitaciones e instaciones interiores son excelentes.

Everyone that worked there was very friendly and nice. The food they served was very delicious. We didn't eat anywhere else because of the quality of food and the convenience of it being up the stairs from the rooms. The rooms were very clean and comfortable. Highly recommend this place!

An absolute gem!

This place is a gem! We only stayed one night and wished we had stayed there for our whole holiday. Easily one of the best hostel/hotels we've stayed in. Staff are so welcoming and helpful. They have thought of everything for this place - private changing room, outdoor shower for beach days, healthy (or otherwise) breakfast options, etc. So clean and comfy and each bed feels like its own private space. When we arrived in our next hostel we were filled with regret!! WiFi is lacking but this is an island-wide problem. Would definitely stay here again.

La perfecta estadía!

Todo estuvo perfecto! Cuidan todos los detalles del hotel, cuarto, baños. El personal siempre está dispuesto ayudarte y son muy amables. La comida y el servicio es excelente. La ubicación tb es perfecta no está dentro del centro pero queda a 5 minutos en mototaxi ( cuesta 1 dólar aprox). El dueño es muy amable y dispuesta a ayudarte. La mejor estadía en el nido!!! Lo recomiendo al 100 %
