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. Can't recommend it more! Each bed has it's own "box" in the dorms, which gives you more privacy compared to other hostels. Hostel and bathrooms were always super clean. They have a whatsapp group with activities they organize, which makes it easier to connect with people if you travel alone! But the best of all is the staff!!! Everyone is so friendly and so nice, Goes for everyone, but especially Jona and Jona (yes 2 Jonas) are amazing and couldn't be more grateful that they were my hosts!

Situated within 4.3 km of Maquinit Hot Spring and less than 1 km of Coron Public Market, Kaiz Hostel features rooms with air conditioning and a shared bathroom in Coron. Attractively situated in the Coron Town Proper district, this hostel is located 1.7 km from Mount Tapyas. The property is 400 metres from the city centre and 2.6 km from Dicanituan Beach. Everything was great. Despite being 12 people in the room, it was very quiet and we had enough space for everything. There are big lockers under the bed, free coffee and water, 2 showers+2 toilets which was enough. The family was very helpful, friendly and empathetic. They kept my bag in their house for the whole day while I was gone for a day trip, and helped with booking the tour. I'd highly recommend if you want to sleep during the night.
