The room and bathroom were clean but there seemed to be a damp problem so the whole room was wet when we arrived, kept the air con on to dry everything but each day we would come back and everything was damp again (as they would turn off the air con). Maybe something to do with the time of year we were there. Otherwise very convenient location and good value for money.

Lovely Hostel, Excellent Staff, With Minor Issues

Positives
Really nicely decorated hostel
Room had A/C and fan
Spacious dorms with plenty of sockets and storage
Bed had privacy curtains, seemed to be extra wide and were very comfortable
Excellent breakfast and staff will cook pancakes and omelettes fresh.
Excellent location only 5 minutes from El Nido centre and is quiet
Staff are excellent and impeccably polite, helpful and courteous

Negatives
Socket can be difficult to reach for upper bunk
Upper section of walls have window facing hallway, which was lit at night
The shared bathrooms are generally clean, but needed to be cleaned more often
Too many of the soap/shampoo dispensers in the showers were broken`

The first day I had a problem with my assigned room, but Sheri and Angelo were very kind to solve my problem. Very good location and facilities. The beds are very comfortable. I think they should put curtains on the bunk beds to give more privacy to the guests and also because they have mix rooms.

We enjoyed our stay. The staff were friendly and approachable. We liked that we can use the washing machine. We used it to dry our clothes after island hopping tour. We loved the breakfast specially the omelette. Location is a five minute walk to town and the port. The room is a bit small if you have luggages and doesn't have enough space to hang your clothes. No fridge or TV in the room, but you won't be needing it since your probably tired after whole day of activities, however there's a tv and fridge in the common area.

they organise daily activities in the evening and you get to meet fellow travellers.
my private room was clean and the premises had a very hipster feel to it.
there is a daily breakfast buffet spread, i love their pancakes.

We had a very small bed - more like a single than a double. The room was downstairs in the daylight basement with construction outside the window. There was no top sheet on the bed - only a blanket - washed how often? The room was super small, bathroom was adequate. The breakfast was good - they cooked omelettes to order!

Best Hostel for couples

Great stay, even for couples, we stayed in a private room, bed is small but do-able. Room is small but enough space for everything u need. Bathroom is great, huge shower with hot water, AC is great, generator kept it running even in the power outages. Breakfast was nice. Loved the location, on main road but outside main center of town, easy walk into center of town though. They can book your tours for u too which is convenient.

Really incredible hostel vibe

We were lucky that they had availability. We booked a single room and it was more like a hotel than a hostel, the vibe was awesome there and was really exciting adventurous feel with an appreciation for design/style which is appreciated since it's not over the top backpackery.

Nicest hostel in El Nido

This hostel is the nicest one I know of in Philippines. It is also a bit pricier that other hostels but it offers better services and accommodation.
Breakfast is included and is very good. They also have some special night like bbq night. Common areas are very nicely designed and the building is surrounded with nature.
An awesome place to stay in El Nido.

Not for us.

The staff is great and extremely helpful and the breakfast, especially the pancakes, is amazing.

The pictures on the website however, dont quite match what you actually get. The private rooms feel a bit small and aren't as bright and clean. Also, we found the rooms damp regardless of the exhaust fan, ceiling fan or AC constantly running. The final notable point about the room were the ants. We had two private rooms booked and both had an ant issue.

Pros:
-Awesome staff
-Great breakfast. PANCAKES!!!
-Cozy common areas

Cons:
-Dark and damp/moist rooms
-Ant issues in the rooms
-Uncomfortable beds

Got sick from the food

The Hostel is very nice and clean and staff is very friendly, however, I got sick from the breakfast they offer. I was vomitting from bad eggs during the night which also ruined a whole day of valuable time in el nido.
Also, the wifi is terrible and not offered in the rooms, which sucks when that's where you have to spend your time because you're sick.
The washing machine is very bothersome to use and clothes didn't dry within 3 days. Dryer is not provided.

Modern, but...

it's for youngsters.
Pros:
- this place stands out in ElNido, because it actually has internet in the lobby;
- modern, nice hotel;
Cons:
- rooms are micro, which means air-con might be too strong;
- no wardrobes, no fridge in the room;
- booked double room - bed is way too tiny for couple. Room would be way too tiny for double bed;
- breakfast does not include any kind of meat.

Wonderful place!

I would definitely stay there again! Rooms are clean, beds are comfy and bathrooms are clean as well. And there's hot water for your shower! Also the breakfasts and group activities are a added bonus to an already great place!

Super fun Hotel in a fun little beach town

We had so much fun at this Hotel, the people staying there was also very friendly. Like family. The staff booked the tours for us. So much fun island hopping, big boat and also a great picnic included! The town is small & we felt very safe walking around. Plenty of foreign tourists. Be sure to dine on the beach, beautiful view.

Large, clean and relatively quiet hostel

Hostel was super chic and found my room and bathroom to be very clean and comfortable. The AC worked great. Hot water was always available. Breakfast was fantastic, with made to order omelettes and pancakes! The wi-fi was not great though - only available in common areas but even there I had trouble connecting and very slow speed. However, the staff was friendly and the place was nice. El Nido is a small town so even though the hostel is on the edge of town, you can walk to the other side of town in about ten minutes. I would recommend this hostel.

A bit overrated

Spin Hostel looks and feels like a cheap chain hotel. It is clean, has functional showers with hot water and you get a nice white bed to sleep in. Design wise it is nothing special and in regard to the community I found the vibes at the OMP place that I tried afterwards in El Nido way more social. If you have the extra money to pay twenty dollars, go for it. But if you don't, rest assured that you are not missing out on anything here.

Peaks & ...

Where should I start? Bring bug spray because the the lounge/kitchen area is open to the outdoors. Cool layout and big communal bathrooms. Staff were always helpful & nice. Breakfast was good but I didn't eat everything because ants were everywhere around the fruits. Wifi was pretty bad and would work near the reception only. I liked that the hostel provides daily activities. Like a live band, BBQ, & sunset swimming. An inconvenience I had was they made me change rooms my 2nd night and then change again to my original room the 3rd night. It was annoying and I found out it was to accommodate another guest because they wanted a lower bunk. Also they ran out of key cards so I didn't have one for the day and had to leave the door open so I can get in and out. Overall I would stay again. The bunk beds were bigger than the normal twin size and the rooms were comfortable.

Generous and Luxurious Hostel

I came in the hostel around 2AM from PPC, the guard offered me to stay in the sofa for me to be able to rest since my official check-in time is still at 12NN. They offered me a free breakfast though it was not yet my official check-in time and I truly value that act of generosity. The staffs are very kind and helpful. The hostel rooms are very clean and spacious even the beds. They have many shower rooms, comfort rooms and lavatories. It's really a great value for money. I booked in advance via hotels.com so I was able to avail discounts and that made my solo travel very satisfying. If you're going to El Nido, stay at SPIN Designer Hostel. It's a perfect place for backpackers and group travelers. #letsgoforaspin

Excellent stay. Awful wifi

Staff is friendly. Rooms are spacious and clean. Well designed hostel.

My one complaint is the wifi. Its only available in the lobby and if you were planning on getting work done while traveling, good luck. Its slow and unreliable even in the lobby. This means you need to sit in the humidity of El Nido to work on your laptop, with bugs constantly landing on you. When your room has aircon and you could just work in there. I get that they are trying to get people to meet each other this way, but the lobby looks like 30+ people all staring at their phones.

Hostel not Hotel!

This is an chic trendy upmarket hostel built in an urban industrial style and so definitely not a hotel so bare that in mind when choosing your accommodation and expectations.
However the accommodation was clean and functional and served it's purpose. They have laundry facilities but it's just one washing machine (for such a big place that is rediculous!) that you can only use from 8am till 9pm so don't get your hopes up!
It's right in the heart of El Nido so is walkable to hundreds of bars and restaurants (ArtCafe recommended) and very much a backpackers paradise if that's what you crave but definitely go on the island hopping trips it's well worth it and spectacular.
Staff are very friendly, efficient and organise nighttime activities for guests like video karaoke and bbq's and trips.
Wifi was a bit slow and unpredictable and only available in the common areas which was a pain.
Breakfast was available in the common area and was basic and simple hostel style.
If you are used to hostel style trips then its highly recommended and probably currently the best place to stay for this type of accommodation.

Our stay at Spin was overall awesome. There was some issues with the water cleanliness while we were there. The entire system had seemingly feacel contaminations, which left us unable to use the water for an entire day.

The staff was very helpful in suggesting sight seeing options and educating its guest about the Philippines.

The double room was spacious enough for two, but could use shelving as there was inadequate space for baggage and clothing.

Social atmosphere was great with many events to do with other hostel guests. A place for improvement is the wifi availability and quality. Wifi was only found in common areas which resulted in all guests being antisocial on their phones. A very unfriendly atmosphere to be a part of.

Great hostel especially for introverts

This was my first time staying in a hostel in a shared dorm and I was a little bit worried as I tend to prefer having my own space; but if you are like me, I cannot recommend this hostel enough.

The dorms are not overcrowded (mine only had 4 beds in it) and are quite large with great storage space. The beds are a fair distance away from each other, giving the impression that you have your own space and you have your own light and shelfing unit.

Major benefits in my option were the staff who were really active in getting to know all guests (from the first day all staff knew and remembered my name) and the in house activities that were available, which is great if you get bored of island hopping or beach bumming. I did a bike ride to Las Cabanas view deck which was awesome and was very cheap. The hostel also do regular barbecues and other activities and actively introduce travellers to each other, which may be helpful for the more introverted traveller.

Breakfast was great with a large selection and you can choose how you would like your eggs done. Drinking water is provided all day.

The hostel was very clean, the bathrooms were cleaned regularly and the room was cleaned every day.

It was really easy to meet new people with the communal dining and their is no pressure to purchase dinner etc. at the hostel. The hostel has a fridge and microwave for all guests to use so you can purchase from outside, store and reheat for the next day if you so wish.

Really nice hostel - close to main road and town.

For a hostel, I think it's great. Very nicely designed. Cleanest, modern designed bathrooms around! I was with my aunts and mom but chose it because it seemed like one of the best and nicest deals in the area. My family was use to hotels so were looking for some of the hotel amenities, like toiletries. So if you're not expecting that you should be really pleased. I loved it!

Super clean, beautiful, and fun hostel. Very chill and laid back environment, and staff is super friendly and helpful. Travelers of all ages (including families with small children) where here. Breakfast included is great and substantial (pancakes, eggs made to order, fruits, juice, bread). The staff will also help you plan trips/outitings, and have activities happening all through the week. Its located right on the town proper, with easy access to the local vendors/restaurants and the beach/boat docking area. Will definitely stay here again when I return to el Nido. Highly recommend!

Decent and fair priced hostel option

Huge negative point is the window in our room facing the hallway. The hallway is lit up all night and the window is just by the pillow of the upper bunk in the room, so I pretty much had to sleep in full light all night. Should be an easy fix though.

Spin is a not very central which is fine since El Nido is a small place. It's a hostel type of accommodation and our bunk bed double room was miniscule but clean and adequate. They have tried to make it a bit \"designy\" and it looks pretty good though some things are a bit \"trying to hard\". Think run of the mill hostel is Paris, Madrid, London etc. So really good if you do not have the need of high standard. All in all, this is good place. We had a BBQ dinner there and food was ok-ish and price was fairly decent. You can definitely find much better value in other places in El Nido when it comes to food but it's nice to hang out with the others staying there.

I would stay there again if choosing to stay in El Nido instead of in a resort.

Modern hostel

Pros: walking distance to main strip, clean, affordable, free buffet style breakfast, new building with modern design

Cons: Because of humidity beds were damp when we arrived, no toiletries provided, mosquitos can be annoying at night time, wifi only provided in common area

Overall a pleasant stay at our own bunk bed room. The BBQ night was alright, rice and meat only no veggies available would recommend eating out instead. The breakfast was superb and have a nice outdoor patio for meals. Some tips staying here is to walk to the rural bank not too far away to change your large pesos to smaller bills because no one has change in the area which means you will end up paying them more.

Pleasant hostel for backpacking or light travel.

My wife enjoyed her stay here a lot, said the staff was friendly and the place quite comfortable. She even was allowed to use their kitchen supplies (not equipment but actual consumables) when cooking, and the staff helped arrange whatever she needed. Clean, comfortable, just a bit loud for sleeping; it is a hostel, after all. Dorm-style sleeping arrangements.

Great hostel even for western standards

Only newly opened, this hostel is fastastic. Rooms are clean, facilities are clean - good chill out areas, staff were super friendly and always available to help with travelling tips and tours. Awesome range of people staying at hostel and would highly recommend. The dorms are pretty spacious and coffee/breakfast is pretty good too. It is a little pricier than any other hostels and especially for philippino standards but worth it

Beautifully designed Hostel stands above the rest

Beautifully designed, recently opened and great location! Spin stands above other hostels in primarily two areas, quality of facilities and customer service. The rooms are comfortable, spacious and well designed. All are equipped with spacious hot showers, comfortable beds, and well picked linens. Common areas are large and inviting. The customer service here is truly exceptional. The hostel manager is constantly interacting with guests and comes off as genuine and caring. The rest of the staff is equally attentive in their respective roles. On our last day in El Nido my wife and I checked out of Spin but asked them to hold on to our bags until we returned from our snorkeling trip. We planned to return around 4pm and then catch a 5pm shuttle to Puerto Princessa. Upon returning from snorkeling the staff offered us fresh towels and use of the community showers. This was definitely beyond our expectations. Thank you Spin! We hope to see you soon.

Overall, just no

Lots of small things that added up to this not being a nice experience. Maybe because it is low season, but zero hostel vibes. There were actually families staying with small kids that would literally start screaming and shouting at 7am and won't stop. Ants everywhere, to the point that it was impossible to eat some of the things at breakfast. Cockroaches in the room. Staff asking me over breakfast to rate the hotel online with a QR code, and then it actually turned out to be their bar. Did not enjoy my stay and would not recommend.
