Hostels in Palawan

Unser Aufenthalt in diesem Innenhof in Puerto Princesa überstieg wirklich meine Erwartungen. Wir kamen aus einer langen Reise, und selbst bevor wir aus dem Wagen raus konnten, war ein Mitarbeiter bereits da, um uns warm willkommen und mit unseren Gepäck zu helfen. Diese kleine Geste legt sofort den Ton für die Art von Dienstleistungen, die sie bieten aufmerksam, proaktiv und echten Pflege. Da es nur einen kurzen Aufenthalt war, war ich zuerst nicht viel zu erwarten. Aber das Gastfreundschaftsniveau, das wir erlebt haben, war nichts weniger außergewöhnlich. Das Personal war konsequent höflich, beherbergend und sorgte dafür, dass wir während unseres Aufenthalts bequem waren. Es ist selten, einen Ort zu treffen, wo der Service fühlt sich persönlich und anstrengend. Sie haben uns gefühlt, gut betreut von der Zeit, bis wir ankamen, bis wir verließen. Ich empfehle dieses Inn für jeden, der Puerto Princesa besucht, besonders wenn Sie warm und zuverlässige Service wert.

I went on a 13-day trip around Palawan and Coron was my first stop from Cebu. In Coron, I stayed in Dayon Hostel. I was alone for the duration of my three-night stay in the six-bed female dorm. You can choose to lock the door at night for security. I made sure that I turned off the AC every time I went out. The restrooms are clean especially the toilets although the shower rooms need to be upgraded as some showerheads do not function that well. It will also be nice if they do a thorough cleaning of the shower rooms and the sinks as they looked dirty and unkempt. There is a restaurant on the rooftop but the options are limited. If you exit through the back, it leads you the main road where you will find a wonderful cafe that serves good sausage meals. There are also several local options available if you want affordable options. The price I paid was worth the quality of the stay. The hostel is known by tour operators and guides and so it was not a challenge when it was time for pick-up and drop off. I loved the staff especially when I had to leave early in the morning to head to the port for my trip to El Nido. They arranged my transportation and made sure that I left the hostel on time. Will I go back? Maybe not and it's not because I don't like it. It's just that I felt that my next stay should be in a private room for another worthwhile experience in Coron. But for those solo travelers on a budget, Dayon Hostel is your best bet in Coron in as far as affordable sleeping option is concerned.

From the minute we arrived quite late at night we were welcomed by Nanni the owner. This is a gem of a place. Lakwa has a cool vibe. Great little burger bar, delicious breakfasts and a great bar to hang at night for a drink. Room was very clean, quiet and modern. Nanni and his team offer off road dirt bike tours where you can see places others just don’t get to see. They also provide you with a scooter so you can get around and self explore El Nido. It’s also located 500 metres from the beautiful Lio Beach. Nanni, Alex and the team are a wealth of knowledge on areas to visit and assisted us with booking a tour. The motel room also has an information guide too which was very helpful. We give this motel and staff an 11/10. Can’t speak highly enough on how we appreciated their hospitality.

My overall experience is good! I'm the type of person who prefers active travelling, so the hotel is needed literally just for sleep, shower and storing stuff. My requirements for the hotel were good proximity to the city center and nice room with hot shower. Well, the location is truly good, it's a bit on the hill so to get to the city center you just need to come down. In the same building there is a great cafe DAYO who offer 10% discount per day for the Oceana Bay hotel's guests. During our trip to Philippines, Coron was the last destination and the 4th hotel we stayed at, and that was the only one with some room facilities issues. When we checked-in it turned out there is no water in the shower, the staff truly tried to be helpful, the receptionist girl offered us to stay in another upgraded room before the problem will be solved. The thing is when one day later we had to return to the room the problem with the water wasn't solved, we had to contact staff all the time which for sure was absolutely inconvenient, especially when water could be cut off during taking shower. At that point nobody cared already, there were no offers to change the room or to offer us a discount. The siphon from the sink was leaking, so every time you wash your hands, the bathroom floor is immediately in water. The AC is truly loud, but this is absolutely normal for Philippines, as well as the absence of hair dryer. Nice thing that the hotel unlimitedly provides drinking water in the hall. The hotel also offers tours, bike rent, transfer to the airport, but I'd suggest to check it out in the city first, we've found more convenient and better price offers there.

Расположен поодаль от всех баров, ресторанов, но для нас это был плюс. Немного было пыльно, но весь городок в грязи и пыли, поэтому неудивительно. Очень милая девушка Rea нас быстро заселила, нашла трансфер до пляжей, помогала решить любые вопросы.

We stayed for five nights, booking one double room and one family room. Both rooms were sufficiently furnished, and there were tables outside that we made good use of during the day. We were also offered the use of a fridge in the common area, which we really appreciated. From what I understand, only the family rooms come with water heating. The location is very good—tucked away in a safe, lively neighbourhood and within walking distance of both NCCC Mall and SM City Puerto Princesa Mall, where there are supermarkets and plenty of food options. We were also able to walk to several places of interest in the city, including the Boardwalk, Chinatown, the Heritage Centre, and the Immaculate Conception Cathedral. There’s a laundry just across the road that charges reasonable rates. The hosts were the best part of the stay. They were family-oriented, warm, hospitable, accommodating, and very communicative. They helped organise tours at prices better than those offered on online platforms. We had a whale of a time at Honda Bay and the Underground River—both are must-experience attractions when visiting Palawan. Highly recommended for travellers looking for a welcoming place, great hosts, and a convenient location.

Bei meinem kürzlich geplanten Besuch im Divine Castle Travelers Inn in Coron, Busuanga, war ich von der Gesamterfahrung zufriedenstellend überrascht. Das Inn stand für seine außergewöhnliche Reinigung, die nach einem langen Reisetag eine willkommene Erleichterung war. Der friedliche Zustand der Zimmer und der gemeinsamen Räume war wirklich beeindruckend. Was dieses Inn wirklich getrennt setzte, war seine malerische Lage nestled neben einem freundlichen Hügel. Die scenische Schönheit der umliegenden Landschaft fügte mir ein zusätzliches Schicht an Charme hinzu. Die Erwachen vor der Augen von Lustgrünheit und die beruhigenden Klangen der Natur war eine wahre Freude. Die Nähe des Inns zu dem Hügel bedeutete auch, dass ich leicht einen entspannten Spaziergang und die natürliche Schönheit der Gegend erkunden konnte. Es gab eine perfekte Flucht aus der Schütte und Büste des täglichen Lebens, die mir erlaubte, zu entspannen und wiederzuladen. Insgesamt war meine Erfahrung im Divine Castle Travelers Inn nichts weniger als erfreulich. Die Kombination von Reinigkeit und seiner idyllischen Lage machte es zu einem erinnerelichen und nützlichen Aufenthalt. Wenn Sie nach einem friedlichen Rückzug in Coron suchen, empfehle ich sehr, dieses Inn zu berücksichtigen.

Wir hatten Zimmer mit Meerblick. Ein Zimmer war ausreichend groß, hatte aber ein winziges Badezimmer. Das andere Zimmer war so klein, dass ich meinen Koffer nicht auf dem Boden öffnen konnte, sondern ihn aufs Bett stellen musste. Die Aussicht ist atemberaubend, aber aufgrund des Hafens ist es morgens früh und abends wegen der vielen Cafés recht laut. Insgesamt hatten wir einen guten Aufenthalt. Das Personal war hilfsbereit, das Frühstück gut, das WLAN allerdings nicht sehr stark. Das Wasser im Waschbecken roch unangenehm. :( Wir haben alle Ausflüge an der Hotelrezeption gebucht. Das war praktisch und kostete genauso viel wie überall. Handtücher für die Ausflüge waren kostenlos, und man konnte sich Taucherbrillen und Korallenschuhe ausleihen.

Cozy spacious rooms, friendly and helpful stuff and an amazing rooftop area, very much recommended.

Nice Hotel mit freundlichem Personal. Wir haben ein Meerblickzimmer, die Aussicht ist sehr schön... aber viele Schritte zu klettern. Zimmer waren groß und sauber, aber Sie können den Nachbar gut hören. Frühstück war gut, aber nicht viele extensiv. Für uns war das Hotel gut.
