I stayed in the JLC hostel 4 nights in total. I arrived late on the first night having sent an email to the owner they picked me up from the airport which was great,the staff went out of their way to get me on the Underground River Tour the next day. They also arranged my trip to Honda Bay and Mini Van to El Nido. They were welcoming and attentive to all my needs, laundry, storing milk in the fridge, lending me a plug adaptor the list goes on. The rooms were great plenty of space, yet affordable for the single traveler. Nice outdoor seating area and free coffee in the morning. It is located down a quiet street, just ten minutes walk to the center of town. 10 minutes to the Unitop Supermarket and 15 minutes to the Baywalk. Perfect Stay!

Great time in JLC, highly recommended ”
My stay in JLC was very great. The hostel is located about 1km to the main avenue where there's a few good restaurants, we paid 20 pesos (U$0,50) to go there with a tricycle or 10 minuts walking. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The room was simple but very clean and bigger than normal rooms for this price. The bathroom was very clean as well, but only cold water (wasn't a problem for us). Also the tables, receptions and hallway were been cleaned all the time. The internet works in the rooms and actually is very fast. Free tea/coffe at the reception. I stayed here 4 nights in total and definitely I would stay here again. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Friendly atmosphere”
We stayed here for just 1 night but we chat a lot with hostel owner before we left for El Nido. She was very friendly and taught us some native words. We will choose this hostel again if we come to Puerto Princesa some time in the future.

Very satisfied!”
Great location, very quiet, clean, comfortable bed, good wifi. Overall a very good experience and a good value for money. I would not hesitate to stay at JLC again. 10-15 min walk from the main road or 3-5 minute tricycle ride (10-20 pesos). Close to the airport (+/- 10-15 minute / 50 pesos).

I was solo traveler however friend of my join me. We did not have any issue with acommo and top of that they provide us useful tips at Puerto Princesa and ElNido where we were heading to. Also when my plan changed they had no issue to move my booking for another day without paying anything. Can recommend , really nice and polite owners. They have arranged even Van for me and friend of mine to ElNido. Can recommend.

Backpackers”
Staff at the hostel are great and nothing really to fault expect there are some cockerels next door with are very loud!!!! Warning....don't do the underground tour from the hotel as the tour guide was liar and refused to call us a bus to port barton as a connection unless we gave him 500 pesos each...turns out journey only costs 150 each!

Room is clear and not too far from downtown, not very close to downtown. So not too noise....it just cost us 35 piso from airport to JLC. For pack packers , it is a good choice.

JLC Hostel”
The woman and the lady (such a shame I didnt get their names, so I just assumed they're mother and daughter) were very nice and accommodating. I arrived early in the morning on the 29th of feb2016 from el nido so I asked the woman if I could check in early or at least to leave my things in the reception because I was scheduled to be picked up for a tour at 630am and since there was a vacant air conditioned room, they let me stay there for me to freshen up and get ready for the tour. I was told that they were just gonna transfer my things when the fan room that I booked becomes available because the couple staying there were supposed to check out at noon. So when I came back late in the afternoon, I was surprised when I found out they were letting me stay in that air conditioned room. And they always offered some hot tea/coffee, unfortunately though I am no longer drinking caffeinated drinks, that was some nice gesture I would say. I surely did get more than my money's worth.

Perfect place for your Puerto Princesa stopover”
I stayed here twice during the past few weeks; once on my way up to El Nido, and then I returned on my way back as I liked it so much. The cheap private room was very welcome after all of the dorms I've been staying in, the whole place is comfortable, there's a nice little outdoor area where you can drink beers with the other guests, and the staff are fantastic; they sorted out the van to El Nido for me and on my way back they were up super-early to give me coffee and hail me a trike for my early-morning flight. Highly recommended.

helpful staff, great location”
pros: location, budget friendly, friendly staffs cons: *the room we had had the aircon inside the cr which makes the cr wet because of the dripping. so not safe as my little one (4yo) son slipped. we had to rush to the nearest hospital to have him check since he got wound at his eye lid area. good thing no need for stitching and the doctor on duty in the hospital (not accredited by our hmo) didn't charged us. *the bed in the hostel are uncomfortable *very basic. no tv, no hot shower.

Location may not be the center for tourists but few places are walking distance. Staff are very friendly and helpful. The price is something to grab for and rooms you get are neat.

Stayed September 9-10,2016”
We arrived late because our flight was delayed. So my sister and I went to Baywalk with the other guest who stayed there for us to have some company. Around 2:00AM, power supply was off and we're still awake getting ready for our morning package tour. They do have emergency light but only in the hall way. Over-all, their so accommodating they truely value cleanliness.
