              Nice place for solo travelers”

              Their common area was a great place to meet other travelers. The 3-level bunk was scary at first but it's pretty solid. They have a drying area too so it's good for your wet clothes after returning from your tours. They provide free breakfast and it's near the beach and other stores and close to the LiO free shuttle. The staff are friendly and gives detailed information for your inquiries. I will definitely want to stay to this place the next time I will be in El Nido.

              离码头近，去哪都很方便”

              前台很热情，房间很挤，但是也能理解，毕竟这么小的小镇每天要接待那么多游客，就是淋浴水有点凉，房间没有4G信号，wifi连上了也上不了网，因为房间就靠着马路，所以早上突突车的声音非常吵

              В целом неплохо. За 11 ночей ни разу не меняли белье. Полы вроде мыли каждый день, но все равно липкие. Есть руфтоп, в номерах по всюду обьявления что за занятия сексом вас оштрафут на 2500 песо.Вода не асегда горячая
