We stayed there for about five nights and we enjoyed it very much, specially thanks to the staff. Pau and the girls at reception were the most welcoming when we arrived, and helped us a lot recommending restaurants, activities and we could book motorbikes with them for a great price. We spent time with Joy and Chandy from the bar and they made us the best coffees and breakfast, apart from feeling like actual friends more than just staff. The hostel was very new, only a couple weeks old, but everything looks very cute and the showers and toilets were always clean. Air conditioning worked perfectly as well. You may see some construction being done during the day but it wasn’t a problem at all. Wish you the best and hope to be back in the future!

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!

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

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.
