The entrance to this pension is a terrible narrow unpaved alley with no enough light or signs at night, so getting in and out at night time is so unpleasant , we visted the pension to check in but we had to cancel our reservation for two nights for no refund because of that. If you are on a tight budget this place is still a good choice.

Hotel was very pretty, like the name says is well hidden but quiet pretty, rooms was very basic, no tv, quite small but it was ok as we was only staying there for 3 nights. Is very near the main restaurants and everything else which was nice, the beach was only 5 mins away if not less. Staff were really nice and welcoming.

Overall a good spot for the low price. Upon entering the room there was a bit of an odor likely due to the high humidity. After turning on the fan or air conditioner it goes away. On my second day, there was a blackout in all of El Nido so staying in the room was not an option because no lights, fan or air conditioning. Considering the place is a cheap pension there isn't a generator to provide power during blackouts. The staff was friendly and helpful. If you're on a budget and don't plan on spending time in the room it's fine.

Staff was very nice. The owner of the place was very nice and had us booked a ticket for a van going back to Puerto Princesa. Room was clean. Place was quiet. The place is near the port area when you do the Tours. When we got there last Sept 20, 2019. Some of the area was under construction. But it didn’t bother us for the duration of our stay. Will definitely be back.

Quiet little place to sleep and shower, but a little hard to find :). I had a few mosquitos in the room, but that is normal. I really like the quiet place and the host was amazing. Definitely no "western standards" but I found it very clean and comfortable. I would stay again!

A Decent 6 night Stay
I liked my stay there. The location is just far enough away fm all the action as it's a peaceful stay. I also enjoyed the hotel staff leaving coffee every morning on my little porch. Don't expect to get water pressure when taking a shower and expect EL Nido to get Black outs for 1-2 hrs just about every night!

This place it really HIDDEN!! Really liked the place, including the staff, location to the center of town and the room is great for the price. We only had problem with the water being clogged in the shower and the water has metal taste in it. (Consider yourself warned, most places in El Nido have this problem) We liked the privacy and quietness of the place, the compound is single floored surrounding a garden. They bring coffee/tea maker to your patio every morning and if you do request more it is free of charge. There's bakeries just down the street. AC works perfectly. Bed is on the stiffer side.The room is not newly furnished, but decent and roomy enough! Will def come back!

Awesome Hidden Gem
Hotel is in a great location, very nice touch is the coffee served on the balcony in the morning. Very friendly and helpful staff. Room is clean, hot water, comfortable bed. Ian arranged a scooter and all our tours for us which made it very convenient. Thanks so much Ian for all your help. We had a wonderful six night stay.

Noisy but otherwise as advertised
This place is tucked down an alley with its own garden. However, it isn’t as tranquil as you would think. Both mornings we stayed here, we woke up to what sounded like 50 babies crying/screaming/playing outside our door. There’s also construction going on around the property, and we had a member of the staff walk into our room without knocking while we were inside. The room itself was comfortable, and they bring free tea and coffee each morning, so that was a nice bonus!

Recomended!
It was close to town center and 40 second to the beach. Room was in a good condition with a aircon. Bed was very comfy. There is a little garden makes you feel good too.There is a table and chairs outside of room so you can enjoy your free coffee and tea every morning! There is only one thing they can improve is hotel sign. They can really solve this issue with a proper signage to find the hotel for the first time. Apart from that it was all good!

安くて快適なお部屋
雨季だったので激しい雨が降ると直ぐに停電になってしまい、部屋が真っ暗になってしまった事だけが不便でした。それ以外は便利なロケーションにあり、部屋もベットも充分な広さで、落ち着いた空間で滞在できました。 朝はサービスでコーヒーがテラスに置かれてあり、朝、お庭を眺めながらのコーヒータイムは快適なひと時でした。スタッフは家族経営らしく、とてもフレンドリーで親切でした。

너무나 훌륭한 숙소이다.
단점은 찾기가 힘들었다. 주민들조차 알지못했고 간판이 너무 작아서 숙소를 찾기가 어려웠다. 장점은 단점이 아무런 문제가 되지 않을 정도로 많았다. 상점으로 이동하기도 편리했고 방의 크기도 넉넉했다. 또한 조용하고 아늑했다. 다시 엘니도에 가도 나는 이곳에서 숙박을 할것이다.
