The bad reviews are all crap!!

The bad reviews are all crap.!!! Location - Amazing ✅ Staff & service - Fantastic ✅ Cleanliness - Great ✅ Electricity/hot water - Fantastic ✅ this is great hotel, El nido is an island in a third world country so expect minor glitches, The staff were fantastic when you get talking to them, treat them with kindness and they reflect it right Back at you which is beautiful. We extended our stay for another 4 nights. Stay in a delux room on the 4th floor. You have a whole roof top to yourself.

Tämän keskeisemmältä sijainnilta ei hotellia el nidosta löydy. Siisti huone ja kaikki toimi niinkuin pitää. Erityisen hyvä wifi yhteys sitä tarvitsevalle. Ilmaista kahvia tarjolla 24/7. Vaikka hotelli sijaitsee pääkadulla niin melu ulkoa ei kantautunut huoneeseen asti eli rauhassa sai nukkua

STAY AWAY from this place

Absolute everything about this so called "hotel" is terrible. They have no idea what customer service is ! Check in went wrong, got wrong room twice. Room without aircon that didnt work, forgot to clean the room one day caused by "no housekeepers" on duty !

For starters the room booked wasn’t a seaview as advertised and payed for. Sliding door in the room didn’t close properly so we could hear all the noise from the streets and surrounding pubs until early hours of the morning. Check in went fairly smoothly even though we maid a last minute reservation. Otherwise could have been better for the money spent. Location is in the busy part of town though..

Helt ok hotell med trevlig personal. Några minus för insekter på rummen, gamla handdukar, och högljutt AC. Dålig ljudisolering överhuvudtaget. Nära till allt i El Nido

Nice view of the bay if you get a deluxe room on the top floor (4th Floor). Power outage everyday in the entire town. No wifi in the rooms. Wifi is week (all of El Nido). The AC was not hooked to the generator so I was dying in heat. Couldn't sleep. The TV had issues which they couldnt fix. The staff was quite incompetent. Save your money and go elsewhere.

Necessities?

Wifi and AC are 2 of the most important things IMO. No Wi-Fi. Said was"weak." Needed to go 3blocks to restaurant for Wifi. Fo ac to work well in tropical climate the unit has to push the cold air and bathroom vent fan has to help eliminate hot air. In our case bathroom fan not working. System fail . Only stayed one night which was good. Nice view from 3rd floor over buildings of water. Short walk thru buildings to beach where boat tour launched.

Hôtel de plage

Le séjour dans cet hôtel a été compliqué au début avec deux nuits sans pouvoir dormir à cause de la clim très bruyante. Finalement, le personnel nous a fait déménager dans une chambre avec une clim plus silencieuse. La rue est passante est bruyante également. Le wifi ne fonctionne pas du tout même dans le hall. Mais bon, nous sommes sur une île et nous avons comme même passé un bon séjour.

Worst Hotel Ever! Don't stay here!!!!

The worst hotel we've ever stayed in. Upon arrival we were "welcomed" by unfriendly girl who took us to the room ( dark hole) . There was no window so we asked for the room with it and we were told that we didn't request for room with window !! So she then said she will find another room for us next day but since that she never get back to us. The room was very small,smelling like a poo,air con didn't work,shower was filthy and dirty,the bed looked 80 years old and like a single one and mattress very uncomfortable. Wifi didn't work AT ALL and when we asked staff to do something with that,they didn't care. We have seen many people complaining about broken shower,no hot water,wifi and milion other things and staff seemed to don't care. Get ready they switch off electricity in Palawan every day for some certain times and in the room with no windows it's quite big problem. We would never stay here again,for the price we paid,you can find much much better hotels in the area. This was a nightmare and don't really understand how someone can rate this hotel positively as this was horrible! Please take this as a warning and avoid this hostel!!!

Péssimo Hotel!!

Hotel completamente sem estrutura, limpeza e condições. Ficamos 4 noites, nunca limparam o quarto (nem para colocar toalhas e papel higiênico). Staff que parece estar fazendo um favor a qualquer solicitação. O banheiro estava com uma água totalmente preta saindo do chuveiro e das torneiras...pedi ajuda na recepção e me disseram que era normal pois o quarto estava há mais de um mês sem hospedes. Sem contar que quiseram nos cobrar mais caro os passeios que qualquer agência próxima. Péssima estadia!

Average at its best - I grade it a 3/5.

I will not return if I had other options. Aircon was not working well, we had to transfer to another room. Not much amenities to talk about. Staff was very nice though.
