Happiness Hostel El Nido features a shared lounge, terrace, a restaurant and bar in El Nido. The accommodation provides a 24-hour front desk, airport transfers, luggage storage space and free WiFi.

The area is popular for cycling, and car hire is available at the hostel. If I could give 6 stars, I would. Loved this place!! I decided to make an exception and stay at a hostel (instead of getting a private room with bathroom at a hotel) because the vibe and personality of this place are just so awesome!! I ended up paying for two persons for a doubleroom, just so that I could have a private room all to myself. Great stay! Excellent customer service -Fantastic location!! P.S. after I checked out, I was supposed to do a 4 day/3 night Expedition tour from El Nido to Coron (booked through another company). When the expedition got canceled and I had no place to stay (because all accommodations in El Nido were fully booked), the girls (Ellen, Marielle, (and Celeste)) were going out of their way trying to help me find a place to stay on the island. I genuinely appreciate the care that they showed the whole time. I feel genuinely valued and cared for, not only as a hotel guest but as a guest of the Philippines. Thank you, Happiness Hostel and staff!!

Reef Hostel features a garden, shared lounge, a terrace and restaurant in Puerto Princesa City. 2.3 km from Pristine Beach and 8.2 km from Honda Bay, the property provides a bar and massage services.

The location is excellent — very close to the airport, with a convenience store on the right and a popular restaurant on the left. The host is very thoughtful and caring, and gave me lots of helpful support. Definitely a 5-star stay! 🤭 The place is beautifully decorated. There’s also a sturdy locker for your belongings. And it’s great that they have a female-only room!
