The room and facilities were really clean and looked nice. The bed was comfortable. The owner was the nicest and helped me a lot with changing my van to Port Barton for an earlier one as well as arranging a pick up from the hostel. I can recommend staying here.

For me the location was good (easy access to the immigration office) except that the bus/van station was just recently changed location further away from the hostel. So if you book this place to stay near the station, do note that it has changed location. But the owner was very helpful with telling me about the change as soon as I arrived and arranging the pick up from the hostel so I didn't have to go to the station myself.

Nice people & warm welcoming ! Clean with water provided and very helpful! My bus that was supposed to go to El Nido was late and the lady helped and waited with me !! She was so kind I recommend to book the bus with them also because they know the good company.

clean and modern hostel and close to the bus garage if you need to head up to el Nido

I wouldn’t recommend booking your van tickets with them. Just head straight to the bus garage it’s cheaper. We booked through them and paid more as we were told it’d only be us and others staying at the hostel so we’d head straight up to El Nido. we spent an hour and a half driving round picking other people up before we started our journey so it wasn’t quicker.

It's extremely clean and I've seen excellent staff using an iron to make up the covers and bed covers, very clean and tidy! And at the end there's a spray of air cleaner and disinfectant, all the staff service is great! The lady at the front desk helped me a lot, thanks a lot! If I come back to Princesa, I will choose to stay here !

No dissatisfaction, simply perfect

i stayed for one night to take the recaro van to port barton. the hostel was good overall.

you have to pay to use towels. also, the bunk beds were kinda wobbly. the person on the lower bunk was being so loud and moving so much that I felt like I was on a ship. {but that's mostly out of the hostel's control.}

I loved this place. You can really make this place your own. There’s a really nice upstairs outdoor area and Abs the owner is a lovely person and very helpful. Was always greeted with a big genuine smile. It’s a little bit out of town but it’s minutes away from the bus terminal which is convenient if you have an early bus to el nido for example. I’d definitely recommend this place!

Very quiet hostel away from the city center. The placement is not the best, but I had a scooter, so it didn't matter. Beds are comfy. Common area is small, but chill.

Bathrooms were tiny and not comfy. Placement is bad if you don't have a bike/scooter.

I spent one night, the staff was really nice

A bit far from the airport but you can book the van directly in the hostel to go to El Nido or Port Barton and it come to pick up in the hostel! Great
