Find Top Hostels in Palawan

This is an amazing hostel, if there are places, then grab them. There are no disadvantages. The sleeping places are well organized, the rooms and the lobby are very beautiful and admirable. The staff is efficient. And what can I say - the location of the hostel is above all praise. Sitting on its balconies and looking at the sea is a pleasure.

The location is great, offering a beautiful view and easy access to the town and all necessary amenities. However, there are some issues with the room: it is quite small, and the mountain view is actually just a view of the rocks. Additionally, the TV isn't working, likely due to a lack of satellite signal, but the Wi-Fi is good.

Our stay at this inn in Puerto Princesa truly exceeded my expectations. We arrived from a long trip, and even before we could get off the van, a staff member was already there to warmly welcome us and assist with our luggage. That small gesture immediately set the tone for the kind of service they provide—attentive, proactive, and genuinely caring. Since it was only a short stay, I didn’t expect much at first. But the level of hospitality we experienced was nothing short of exceptional. The staff were consistently courteous, accommodating, and made sure we were comfortable throughout our stay. It’s rare to come across a place where service feels this personal and effortless. They made us feel well taken care of from the moment we arrived until we left. I would definitely recommend this inn to anyone visiting Puerto Princesa, especially if you value warm and reliable service.

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.

It's not a bad place. Unfortunately, some travelers are pigs and must think the staff is there to clean up after them. There is no need to leave empty shampoo bottles in the shower or less at all. People come g in late at night, waking people up with their talking and just being loud. No respect for others.

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.

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

I booked a sea-view room with a balcony. I liked everything; it's 50 meters to the pier and 15 meters to the sea. It's quiet at night, just the sound of the waves. You can book tours at the hotel, rent a motorbike, and the breakfasts are decent—you can even get rice with beef and an omelet, coffee, tea, and a banana. The staff are friendly. The negative reviews weren't justified; everything was good there. Personally, I just missed having a fridge in the room. The water was always warm. Maybe I just got lucky!

The best hostel I’ve come across! The lofts were a fantastic little room to stay in. You get to enjoy the therapeutic sounds of the wind and the water in the evening, which is bliss.

Nice Hotel with friendly Personal. We have a seaview room, the view is very nice… but many steps to climb. Rooms were big and clean, but you can hear the neighbor well. Breakfast was good but not many extensiv. For us the Hotel was good.
