Best choice!”
I’ll recommend this hotel for their clean room and nice staff. It was near in the restaurant and night life in El Nido. Everything is worth it!

Good but overpriced”
The room was nice and clean, comfy bed and cable TV was a bonus and great location right on the main street close to the beach. I think it was overpriced for what it was. The room we got was called a deluxe double but the bed was hardly bigger than a single. I also didn't like when the girl who carried my bag (up 1 set of stairs) closed the door behind her in our room and wouldn't leave until we gave her a tip. It was extremely awkward and presumptuous.

Nice Location”
Right in the downtown. We just walked to the tour meet up area. Breakfast is not so good but hope they can improve the choices.

Good”
The location of the hotel was great because it is right in the middle of the downtown area. We walked right out into downtown and there was not a lot of noise. The room was okay and we only needed a bed to sleep in. We would recommend the hotel if you want to relax and stay in, etc. The restaurant on the first level was extremely humid and hot. I walked through and could not even imagine eating breakfast in that room. The room and bathroom was really small. The A/C unit was noisy and thankfully we were so tired we slept through it. The lady at the front desk was not really friendly or have a bad attitude, she did not seem to care for her job or being there. The elevator was down, which seems to be oddly common around the Philippines and in other hotels we have stayed in. It is also odd that we have never seen anyone working on the elevators at any of the hotels. We were on the third floor, which was not a problem walking up the stairs, but may be for some.

The hotel is near the beach, but that should not be the sole basis of the price. We booked a room for three, and it was too small that we barely have a place for our things. When we arrived, we heard one of the staff complaining why they needed to clean a room every day. That was a dismay. In addition, there was a fire that happened a couple of blocks away from the hotel when we were staying in El Nido. When that was over, and we were returning to our room in the fourth floor, I asked the receptionist if they had an alarm if ever something like that happens again. She said they had no alarm and that they would just go door to door if ever that happens again, so that was disappointing. But in fairness to the staff, they were all kind and accomodating.

Not worth the price”
No drinking water glass, no fresh towel, no room cleaning over five days. Dim lighting, can’t read. Over priced.

Above average”
An aircon that never worked and somebody would come up wiggle the plug near the ceiling and then it worked till the next thing tripped it. So a known fault that wasnt adresseed. Beds covered in ants. Not good

Nice location, but pricy for what you get.”
Good location smack in the middle of the Main Street. Don’t expect a luxury hotel. Don’t expect much at all. Just a clean room, good water pressure and at arms length with all the bars and restaurants. The air con was quite loud, but the building has good isolation so you don’t need to use the air con during the whole night. We had a weird smell in the corridor on the fourth floor, but unless you just arrived in the Philippines, you may already be familiar with some weird aromas. Wifi doesn’t work in the rooms, but works very well in the reception and stairwell. There’s a rooftop terrace with probably the nicest view of any places in El Nido – and during our stay it was totally empty. Grab a bag of beer and go up there to enjoy the sunset.

Environmental impact violation and very loud ”
Posted on the front of the building is a cease and desist warning for improper discharge of water. I wouldn’t have booked hotel had I known. Our room was right next to night club and a busy street. Sleeping was difficult. Bring ear plugs. The water pressure was minimal, but with no town water supply, this is expected. The shower never got above luke warm. The sheets on the bed were dirty. If we weren’t so busy during the days and exhausted at night we would have found another place to stay.

Horrendous”
No proper hot water or functional sink, Cockroaches, giant spiders & enough noise to drive you to an asylum I could go on, a reason why most hotels at El Nido town are rated 1-3 stars cause the service is just deplorable Desk staff just rude and cold Officially the worse stay experience I ve ever had at a hotel anywhere in the world

I will recommend it!”
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.

Good Location and comfortable....”
Good location, meters away from the beach and accessible to any transportation. Had a comfortable stay with nice and friendly staff suggesting where the best place to go. The room was clean and the reception lobby is wide and spacious to hang out while waiting. The water filter system is great, clean water....The rate just affordable and reasonable, sure to come back and stay the next time I visit El Nido.

Just right”
We arrived late in our hotel due to Lexxus Shuttle. The private van we hired came 1.5 hous late beacuse they ran out of vans despite the fact that I called them, a week before, a day beofre and 4 hours before our estimated arrival date. We arrived in El Nido around 9pm and so we were so exhausted and just wanted to go straight to bed. Unfortunately, there was a mix up in our bookings with Agoda. We booked a double double deluxe room with extra bed for 5 persons. We want us girls to be in one room because we usually do our chikahan before we go to bed. Since our room was occupied that night, they gave us one quad loft and one matrimonial deluxe room. We didn't insisted on what I originally booked since we are already tired due to the long drive. The next day, they transferred us to a premium double double deluxe room and it's just perfect for us. It's a big room with veranda overlooking the beach. The recption have been very accomodating and that's what's important. We're not very particular with the hotel amenities since most of the day we spend on the tours. There's really not much to do in town but to eat and eat and eat lol!

Power maintenance”
There was a 24hrs power maintenance during our stay. Not their fault but they didn't turn on their power generator until after 3hrs and when they did, you cannot turn on the TV or air conditioner.Good thing it's not that hot and we island hop the rest of the day. The staff front desk is not very accommodating and doesn't smile but don't be afraid, they will still answer your questions if you ask them. It's not a 5 star hotel so don't expect too much. The room is a bit small but the bathroom is pretty good. Value for money, a bit pricey. Breakfast is not included but is served buffet style so that's good although there's really nothing special just the typical breakfast. Also, come in early if you are planning to eat a lot, the resto gets pretty crowded during breakfast. They will clean your room if you wish to and the security is good. The hotel is in the town center. You will be near everything, the stores, the beach and restaurants. Overall, it's an awesome experience. Tip: Do your research. There's a lot of hotels, inns, pension houses that your can choose from, they're all online. Decide first if you want to stay in the town center or beach front or both then work on your budget. El nido is sooo worth it. Enjoy! =D

Very simple accommodation, but clean room with reasonable bed/ bathroom”
The hotel seem expensive at first, but I don't know if there are better value for money options in El Nido. The room was ok, clean bathroom and reasonable bed. The air con wasn't working one of the four nights we stayed, but it was due to a power outage, something that seems really usual in El Nido. But the hotel provided an additional fan, which really helped considering the hot weather. You have to ask for the room to be cleaned (leave the key in a separated box on the reception counter) and they might clean it late in the afternoon. One day we came back from a tour at 5pm and the room wasn't cleaned yet (we left at 10am). Don't expect anything great, but it was a good stay. We were expecting a worse experience after reading all the reviews at booking and agoda (from Rovic's and other hotels in El Nido).

Good, clean your place in the heart of El Nido”
Booked here for one night and ended up extending to 6. The place has an amazing rooftop views which is available until 10pm at. Great views over the whole of El Nido. Staff were very friendly and is definitely worth the money. Will be back

Good value for the money.”
There are lots of mixed reviews for this place. However, generally, I would say this was a pretty good experience. One major downside was that the wifi was down but that seems to be a norm in El Nido. I do think that there are cheaper or nicer or more unique places that you can stay but overall, this was good. Side note, the hotel staff, because there is barely internet, are pretty unresponsive when you are not there. We had to change a booking and then had to have Agoda contact them since we didn't hear back through email.
