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!!

Located in Puerto Princesa City, within 7.5 km of Honda Bay and 1.2 km of City Coliseum, Duck & Drift - a Sleeper Hostel - Just 1,7km from Airport provides accommodation with a terrace and free WiFi as well as free private parking for guests who drive. The property is around 3.2 km from Palawan Museum, 3.5 km from Skylight Convention Center and 3.6 km from Immaculate Conception Cathedral. The property is non-smoking and is situated 3.2 km from Mendoza Park. I loved how cute the theme was of the ducks and it having a cozy vibe. It really fits the sleeper hostel title of the place. Beds were really comfortable and a whole kitchen was mostly to myself which a lot of hostels do not have that feature. Was a nice addition.
