This place was wonderful. We received the best of service and assistance in a very stressful time. We got to El Nido the day before the airportsAnd land travel closed for a month. Was in a panic to figure out how to extend our travel visas and the owner went above and beyond to try and assist us. We where only there 17 hours when the owner advised us to return to Puerto Princessa as there was a concern that they would run out of supplies.
Thank you so much for your assistance. We would come back to this hotel in a heart beat. Stay safe.
The room condition was a closet with a shoe box bathroom. No place for clothes, live out of suitcase, baddddd for that much pesos. Wayyyýyyyy overpriced. Staff real good.

Room occupied by somebody else and relocated
When I arrived at the reception at 15:00 my room had been given to somebody else, and they didn't have any other room available. I ended up relocated to the guesthouse next door, which was not what I had paid for.

The place was close to town. But the bathroom smelt. There was no air ventilation, due to the windows being closed in the bathroom which you couldn’t open. The smell of the bedroom was the same. The bathroom was very small, you would have to take a shower next to the toilet which didn’t give you enough room. We could see that there were some kind of bug that was eating the wood between the door and the door hinge of the front door. Found that the accomodation was expensive in comparison to the quality of the place
Very nice stay here. The bed was very comfortable and everything was in great condition. The only downside was the construction going on basically above our room which made sleeping past 7am impossible the one day. Also, for some reason the floor was constantly moist, I know it's the Philippines and a tropical country but I live in and travel around Thailand and never deal with hotel floors that are constantly moist everywhere. I did enjoy the place though and would stay here again. Wi-fi was not very good at the hotel.
Extremely basic. Hard beds. Sheets were stained. No breakfast or amenities. Combo toilet/shower. In hindsight I should have paid more for a nicer place or paid much less for a hostel.
This is a budget based accommodation, and as such you get what you pay for. It is an adequate room, and shower with air conditioning. I did find for two people it was somewhat compact !! The shower does stand over the toilet bowl...in bathroom. But as I say the price you pay reflects this. The staff are very helpful and friendly, and it is in a good location for everything in El Nido
We got what we expected. The staffs were dependable; clean small room enough to sleeo after day activities. Location is great. We had ab unexpected complimentary laundry which was a pleasant surprise. We will come back uf ever we decide to visit el nido again.
Very clean comfortable stay, great value but above all the staff were very friendly and helpful, rooms were cleaned everyday. Each afternoon we would receive a warm welcome with tea / coffee and Banana Q, The Hotel is situated close to the town ideal for walking directly to the boat trips and restaurants.
Great stay, very helpful staff and excellent location! Great value here. The staff went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and taken care of. I was extremely impressed!
This hotel was what I expected from the reviews. Great price. Convenient location from were we needed to be. Only spent 1 night there. Huge plus is that they provide airport pick up from Puerto Princessa for 500php at any time of the day. Its a van that also picks up other people from other places. Some minus is the rooms are cramped with 3 people. Two would be better. Also the bathroom has no soerate place for shower. The bathroom with toilet and sink is the shower as well. Spout is on the wall and drainer is behind the toilet. So the entire bathroom gets wet when taking shower. Drainer draines well so no worry about water collecting at feet. Do not flush toilet paper down toilet because it will get clogged. This is expected in the philippines in most places. Despite the minus I still recommend this hotel.
Great budget hotel in perfect location in the centre of el nido town. Quiet and clean rooms with very helpful staff. Wifi was good and reliable. Only downside was the tiny bathroom with shower over the toilet. But for the price, a decent hotel.

Street noise but generally tolerable
Get a room at the back on the main building to minimize street noise (tricycles!). For the 1st night they put us up at the single-room house across the street because a couple extended their stay. The lady manager offered us a P1000 "discount" on any tour but after I inquired in town the price she offered still came out higher. Some discount indeed. We had no choice but to stay there, that room was above some shantytown hut behind it. Get used to wet bathrooms as they are tiny and do not have tubs. A/C ok. Power went down twice in two nights but there was a storm on both nights and the power was down in all of El Nido. It came back on after about 10 min. Wifi worked fine in our street-side room above the reception. It's a 5-7 minute walk to the main street. Stay somewhere else if you want peace and quiet. There's generally no acceptable mid-range options in El Nido so I suggest pay a little more (US$100-120) to receive the minimum comfort you would want
Piccolo alberghetto senza troppe pretese consigliato per poche notti e per persone con poche pretese
Personale disponibile e cortese
La stanza aveva la muffa sui muri e emanava cattivo odore é una cosa abbastanza comune nelle case nelle filippine però in un albergo ci si aspetta qualcosa di meglio
Gute und günstige Unterkünfte in El Nido sind rar. Mit dem Balay Paragua war ich sehr zufrieden - es gibt allerdings weder Frühstück noch Restaurant. Bei zahlreichen Möglichkeiten in der Umgebung ist dies aber kein Problem. Das Personal ist extrem freundlich und Hilfsbereit. Buchen von Touren ist jederzeit möglich, Wäscheservice und gutes WLAN.
El Nido merkezinde sizi kendi evinizde hissettirecek küçük işletme. Otel çalışanları her zaman güleryüzlü ve yardım sever. Odalar küçük ama konforlu ve temiz. Tüm turlar otel personeli tarafından gerçekten iyi bir tur şirketi aracılığıyla ayarlanıyor.
Thanks for everything.
The room is never cleaned, the bin is never emptied. No breakfast is offered while it is said in the add that breakfast can be taken in the hotel. My last day, hot water was not working. Well situated hotel in the middle of the city center. 5 minutes walk from the beach where all the boat tours take off. The staff try to help you at all times.
