Happiness Hostel El Nido features a shared lounge, terrace, a restaurant and bar in El Nido. The accommodation provides a 24-hour front desk, airport transfers, luggage storage space and free WiFi.

The area is popular for cycling, and car hire is available at the hostel. If I could give 6 stars, I would. Loved this place!! I decided to make an exception and stay at a hostel (instead of getting a private room with bathroom at a hotel) because the vibe and personality of this place are just so awesome!! I ended up paying for two persons for a doubleroom, just so that I could have a private room all to myself. Great stay! Excellent customer service -Fantastic location!! P.S. after I checked out, I was supposed to do a 4 day/3 night Expedition tour from El Nido to Coron (booked through another company). When the expedition got canceled and I had no place to stay (because all accommodations in El Nido were fully booked), the girls (Ellen, Marielle, (and Celeste)) were going out of their way trying to help me find a place to stay on the island. I genuinely appreciate the care that they showed the whole time. I feel genuinely valued and cared for, not only as a hotel guest but as a guest of the Philippines. Thank you, Happiness Hostel and staff!!

Mojo Hostel has a garden, terrace, a restaurant and bar in Puerto Princesa City. Among the facilities at this property are a tour desk and luggage storage space, along with free WiFi throughout the property. Guests can enjoy garden views. The location is good: close to the airport and walking distance from the Pier and the promenade. The staff was helpful and friendly. The room was quite big, beds comfy, there are curtains for your privacy. Although the lockers were fully occupied, there was enough space for everything. We had a private bathroom+ separate shower, which was very convenient. The place is quite new, very clean and nicely arranged, with the bar/restaurant on the second floor

I really hope to be back next year, see you!
