Spin Designer Hostel - El Nido

Cool property with good facilities. In a great location, steps from the heart of El Nido town

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.

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.

We loved our stay here

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`
