"I was our first time to book on a hostel and gladly we chose the right one. By the time we were greeted by their staff when we arrived I knew that our experience will be fun. We were on a group but we chose a separate private room with my girlfriend. And even their private room was neat, spacious and just cozy. They have the best food from breakfast to late night food. They even do request foods and drinks if available. And what makes them the best hostel in El Nido are their staff. We were assisted and treated like their family throughout our stay. Our trip just gotten better because of them. And if will ever going back to El Nido, we will surely book their place again. Kudos to you guys!"

"Eventhough its a bit expensive comparing to others, the cleanliness, friendly staff and the location is great. The hotel has a lot of facilities we needed (AC, Hot water, etc). The staff helped us in everything we needed, and always smiling. We would come back here and we will recommend it to our friends. One thing we didnt like too much was that we had to pay additional for the breakfast. If you are staying in el Nido, this hotel is the one you are looking for. You have what you pay. And everything is near."

"It’s my 5th time in El Nido but this is my very first time to stay in El Nido town. I booked the first part of my El Nido trip at Cuna Hotel for 3 days/2nights. It’s, a 2 month old midrange property on soft opening conveniently located in town, close to the restaurants and shops, and less than 5 minute walk to the beach. It’s an impressive, modern hotel with a gorgeous Skydeck offering a view that more than makes up for it not being a beachfront property. It has a spacious, air conditioned lobby, tastefully designed rooms with modern bathrooms, hot and cold shower, a small infinity pool, and surprisingly like most smaller hotels and hostels - a snack corner with coffee, tea and cookies available for free 24/7. The breakfast buffet at the Skydeck was good too, with the bacon worthy of mention. Cuna claims they are the first hotel in El Nido to use key cards, and I guess one of the few with an elevator. The rooms are spotless; it’s pretty impressive that they’re able to maintain clean and shiny floors to think that most of the people going in came from the beach! Plus the airconditioning is more than sufficient for the room size; it quickly gets cool, and that’s important after a hot day in the sun! There was a letter in the room and several posts in the lobby informing guests about ongoing construction during the day and apologizing for the noise and any inconvenience. As I was mostly out during the day (leaving the hotel after breakfast) for island hopping and some diving, I didn’t even notice any work going on by the time I return late in the afternoon. I’d recommend this hotel to friends and I’d book this property again if ever I go back to El Nido anytime soon."

"The hostel literally opened two days before we arrived and only another two days later it felt like it already had gotten hugely popular, guess word spreads fast. We felt like this is by far the best option you have in El Nido on a budget, most other hostels are just dark rooms in someones home. This however FEELS like home. "Design" Hostel is not exaggerated, everything has been thought out in the design and looks really really modern. Service is great, extremely attentive staff that care for every little and big request you have. You get breakfast in the morning, which would only be toast, butter, jam and fruits if they didn't also give everyone two free eggs and got someone to prepare them for you (e.g. sunny side up or omelette). Rooms are very clean, aircon works just fine plus they also have fans and lockers are very big. Bring your own locks though. Just one thing...we felt like there were bed bugs, we had weird marks on our body apart from the huge mosquito bites you seem to get in El Nido anyway. Minor issue though since the whole package is just awesome."
