The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. The washroom didn't have hand towels or face cloths. We had to keep requesting TP since no facial tissues either. No hot water in the shower. There was loud music all night from the adjacent bars. Staff were very polite and helpful. Very small TV with a few blurry channels. Location is near old closed down airport but far from most other attractions.

Nice place to stay.

Overall I would recommend this hotel. Friendly staff, clean and close to some restaurants. Its not close to the mall or city center if thats your thing. Its like a 20 to 25 minute trike ride away due to highway restrictions for trikes. Also 25 mins away by trike from airport.

PS. They should have a sign on the pool table that its not available during breakfast time or just remove the balls. We had some rude guest use the pool table during our breakfast that ruined the quiet atmosphere. Also the juice they offer for breakfast is powdered.

Where do I start. They are making renovations even in the night, I couldn’t sleep all night due to construction noise right above our room. Water tap and shower barely dripping, no pressure at all. WiFi and telephone didn’t work. We come back from a tour and find out that our room key doesn’t work. Staff are nice and their standard answer to all the problems is “sorry sir, it is due to maintenance “. Expedia should not list this hotel on their listing and 3 star is very misleading. Expedia should do some homework before they allow any hotels to be listed on their platform.

We had made an error and flew into the wrong airport ( our airport was six hour drive up near El Nido) so we scrambled for a hotel on short notice that was low cost and we found this hotel. The staff was friendly, the food on their menu was very low cost and a daily morning buffet is included. Our tour guide came to this hotel to pick us up and drop us off. They have a small gym, pool table and bar. The hotel is safe and clean, and you can order massage service as well after a day of island hopping.

We would have rated this property as 5 stars if our departure day was handled better.
We had an early flight and had to leave the hotel at 6:30am. At 6:15am, we came to the breakfast room which open from 6:00am but there was no food available. We saw the cup of noodles on the counter and ask the lobby staff if we can take it to replace the breakfast & he said yes. However, when we checked out they asked us to pay 100 Peso for the cup of noodles, and I complained but they said it’s for sale. I told them my booking comes with breakfast and there was no food available, you not even say sorry or have any alternative plan but asking for paying extra? Paying 100peso was not my issue here, I gave tips to the staffs here 50 -100 peso whatever I’m happy with their services. I’m just not happy the way the lobby staffs handled think like that. To be fair, should we get refunded for the non- break fast provided on our last day?
Also, for taxi, if you can arrange it for yourself, it could save you 100 peso. Our trip from the airport we paid directly to the taxi driver was only 300 peso, but for the ride from the hotel to the airport, booking via the hotel & paid directly to the hotel was 400 peso.

If you are stopping over for a few nights of rest on a budget this is definitely your spot. Good sleep, clean hotel, with excellent people and service. Don’t hesitate to book before your go to El Nido. Enjoy!

Needs some spritzing up...

This hotel has seen better days and is in need of a bit of spritzing up. COVID may be the blame, along with the airport, which was previously just down the street, relocating to the other side of Puerto Princesa and essentially leaving this hotel on its own. Still a reasonable location if you rely on trikes for transportation. Located between 2 \"Gentleman's Clubs\", but no noticeable overspill from those establishments. We spent 8 nights here and our room was in the back (definitely request upper floor, rear of the hotel room) and it was quiet except for the 0430 crowing of roosters. T.I.P. (This Is Philippines) and you are going to find that almost anywhere. Breakfast was included but clearly made about the time the rooster crowed. Cold, rubbery eggs and some lunch meats or hot dogs. Not really worth getting out of bed. No hot water kettle in room (!!??) and when Filipina wife called desk to request one she was told that they had one. I showed my Western (White American) face at the desk less than an hour later and requested one and it was immediately delivered. Needed additional towels and a blanket, but dealt directly with housekeeping staff and was immediately taken care of. Had housekeeping every other day and room was well-cleaned. The 200 PHP ($4.00 USD) left on the bed certainly helped, and was appreciated. We live and travel all over the P.I. and other parts of Asia. This hotel is just \"middle-of-the-road\" and I wouldn't stay here again for a long stay.

It is perhaps somewhat unfair, as tyf hotel have not been in operationen for a while due to covid and had very few guests.
The area was coming back to life, with several bars snd restaurants open for business. I can recommend the nearby Thai/European one, forgot the name though.
The hotel had a good standard of rooms but with limitted services, e.g. no restaurant and breakfast was from an outside kitchen, but ok.

Needed a place to sleep

I booked this place, due to my late arrival in Puerto Princessa...(after midnight) & not being able to get a van to El Nido until early morning. The girl at the front desk was so nice and accommodating. However, the bed was not comfortable, the breakfast was disappointing and one of the main reasons I booked this place was due to the free airport transit van. The morning I checked out, there was a police investigation going on in one of the rooms. The police had parked behind the airport shuttles so the staff apologized and told me to take a trike. I understood, but asked if they were paying for the trike, considering it wasn't my fault the shuttles were blocked....and I booked for the purpose of using that free service. That's when staff started sending me to the road, talking and laughing to one another but only giving me 22 pesos...then had trike guys try to come pick me up, yet laugh about the money given me. Finally the security guard makes a deal with one and gives me another 20 pesos to give the driver. I didn't want to take the staff's money...I just felt the hotel should cover the cost of the trike.
