While there were events and social plans it felt a little difficult to meet people here! Wonder if it's the vibe or not but I'd rather that than a party hostel

Booked a private room and my stay was awesome! The room, while a bit small had everything needed. Water pressure was great and I didn't get sick from the water. Comfortable shower and toilet. Included breakfast was very nice with made to order eggs. Beautiful pool and bar area and great food there! Best of all the staff was super helpful and arranged transport and recommendations and was always willing to help with a smile. It was also quiet with ability to sleep without Earplugs. Bed was super comfortable and soft as well.

Our room smelled and felt a little damp on arrival but assumed it was just to do with the air con. We used the dry air con setting which sorted this out

Cool design, clean and modernised

The only thing I had an issue with but it’s not a biggie, are the windows which do not dampen any outside noise.

The staff is absolutely amazing! They will help you with any query you might have. They are very attentive and friendly. The rooms are big and clean, beds comfortable.

There was a bit of noise from the toilet renovation but i dont mind, totally ok coz they do it during daytime.

The best staff, well trained in costumer service.

Not a negative thing but there’s a washing machine in the premises for the guests to use, you just need to buy the soap for 10 pesos. It’s handy, however, there is no dryer and due to the humidity, it takes ages for clothes to get dry. I used this free laundry area once, but I believe it’s better if you just take your dirty clothes to a laundry place where they will wash and dry everything, it’s not expensive.

So many great things about this place. Staff are extremely friendly and helpful to organise tours. It has a good breakfast included, location is great. Bathrooms get cleaned several times throughout the day, which is awesome. There’s a nice and spacious lounge area where we can chill, a security person stays at the premises at all times. The hostel is huge, rooms are accessed by keycards. Shared room is extremely comfortable, with a large bed where I could also keep some of my things.

The rooms had ants in them :(

Overall I'd rate this hostel pretty high because it gave me a pleasant and warm vibe. From the start the staff was really nice and welcoming providing us with everything we needed. The breakfast was AMAZING, and also the food nights they made, would totally recommend BarbaOke! The beachfront and the city are really close so almost everything is on a walking distance.

Very good location, just a few blocks from downtown. Wifi was good. Breakfast is good and enough. The staff are great and very kind.

I enjoyed my 3 days and nights at the hostel and on the last night of my stay I had to deal with a drunk girl in my room. I am more than aware that the rooms are shared and I might end up staying with someone I don’t wanna be with. However, I really want us all to think about people around us. If you are into alcohol, bear the consequences as a grown up. Your roommates aren’t responsible for you and your life, and don’t have to breathe in the disgusting smell of alcohol all night. I don’t know, may be staff should let this kind of people sober up outside the hostel or do something about it.

Convenient and quiet location. As a solo female traveller, I felt safe to walk in the area late in the evening. Super friendly staff, loved every single member of it, they cared a lot about me. Free breakfast, which I really enjoyed. No vegetables, but can’t complain, there is plenty of stuff to eat. Free water in the cooler. Nice room with a very comfy bed.

Excellent, the best hostel, the place is very nice, always clean, they have a bar, restaurant, breakfast was very good, the staff is very friendly. I arrived at 4 am from Puerto Princesa and there was a person who greeted me, there is always someone at the reception. In the evenings they did different activities, the common space is very pleasant to share with other people. I recommend it 100%

Best hostel I’ve ever been. Great room with very nice buffet breakfast included. Lovely staff with fun activities every day. Special mention to Jonathan 🤌🏼

NOTHING AT ALL. SUPERB.

The best Hostel we've been in! We are so amazed by their overall service. 1. Squeaky clean of toilet and the whole room. They provide daily housekeeping (which we didn't experienced from other hostels) 2. The toilet is superb! It may be small but it is very smart and space efficient (sorry I was not able to take pictures) 3. Mirrors everywhere! 4. The location is perfect. Just 5 minutes walk from town. 5. They have different programs every night (Movie night, pasta night, etc.) 6. The garden view is sooo relaxing. I love the dining deck with the garden view. 7. Breakfast buffet is just fine, nothing fancy but it's descent. 8. Most important of what we need is a fast wifi and backup generator as we work remotely. They never miss! Net is fast all the time (180mbps) with backup wifi and generator. El Nido usually has blackouts but this hostel is ALWAYS fast to power up their backup generator. Perfect for remote workers! 9. Exceptional staff!!! It is by far the best part of our stay is to get exceptional service from your friendliest staff. KUDOS to Jeff and Abby from the kitchen team, they would always ask for your needs you when you're in the dining area and they would even make you a coffee. Keep these type of people! 10. I appreciate the cheeky interior

The staff is THE BEST part of this hostel. Since the beginning the lovely host Jonathan made us feel welcome, introducing us to the other guests and including us to the hostel's night activities. The hostel's restaurant also serves great food and has really friendly staff. Location wise it is really near everything: the beach, restaurants, bars and stores.

One of the best hostel I've ever been to. Super clean, amazing staff, very good breakfast for the price paid! I highly recommend this place

Nothing really, i like everything about it. Though it could also be good if there would be cabinets in rooms and 2 pillows instead of one :) (Though maybe they would've provided it if i requested).

The facilities are clean, the architecture/design is impressive, industrial and artsy at the same time. The staff (Ms. Abby, Sir Jonathan, Sir Jeff and all others) are very friendly and accommodating, it is very easy to inquire about the place (e.g. hostel facilities and El Nido generally) and ask for suggestions/info. The buffet breakfast was simple and great, there was an egg station. They serve coffee/tea, juice, breads, jams, 2-3 viands and fruits. The room is minimalist and has all the things we need. You can also do your laundry there (they have washing machine/dryer) so u could bring home your stuff dry. I love that there are hanging pouches/compartments in the bed bunk for your little items. Also, the wash basin is outside the CR, which is an efficient arrangement. They also have a bar, and also activities (ex. Beer pong, movie night etc) every night -- unfortunately we didn't get to join one but it's good to know they offer these entertainment. There's a TV also in the dining area, so u could just watch netflix as if it's your own home 😄 (if no one got there first.) Overall, our stay at SPIN made our vacation thrilling and made us feel safe/secured! 😀

Nothing in particular

Staffs were very accomodating especially Kaye and Joel. Breakfast was amazing as well, comfortable rooms/beds and very spacious I must say. Bathrooms/showers were also exceptional, it includes free shampoo and bath gel. Really nice hostel experience.

Stayed in August 2024

Only con I would give is that their AC is a bit weak. We used up two rooms and the AC was the same on both of them.

The place is a good mix of simple and lively. There's a laundry for customers to use which is a big plus. Only thing missing is a pool.

Stayed in August 2024

Nothing.

The breakfast is okay, as expected for a budget hostel.
