Perfect location, very friendly staff and clean!
Pros:

Perfect location for us, right in between the 2 beaches so only a 10 minute walk either way. The staff were so welcoming, friendly and helpful, always asking how our day was when we came back and was genuinely interested. They even did some laundry for us for a small cost which was very helpful as backpackers travelling. The rooms were basic but very clean, comfy bed and hot shower. Amazing value for money and would definitely recommend staying here!

Nice place to stay in El Nido.
Pros:

Good size room ( G2 ) with nice bed. The room had good storage for stuff and a small table with two chairs.
The owners were very nice and helpful. They have a quick laundry service available.
Wifi worked ok in the room.

Free water refill and coffee was a big plus!

Walking distance to the main areas and to the beach near by.

Cons:

Water pressure wasn't the best.
Quiet place which was nice but there was some construction going on in the mornings ( started around 08:00 ).
AC was very loud and old so didn't use it when going to sleep.
Little bit of moisture smell in the room.

Pros:

I liked that it is just across the Cherry Bus Terminal. I also liked that the welcoming staff is friendly and hospitable.

Cons:

1. The room was in the lower ground, like a basement, if you have luggages, it is challenging to bring them down.
2. There was something leaking from the bulb socket in the CR, and it smelled weird. My husb noticed it when he was sitting at the toilet bowl and water dripped on his back. It also dripped over my head. The light bulb barely lit the CR. Some parts arr moldy, and the floor is slimy.
3. The ac is a bit noisy (i can live with it, but if u are sensitive to noise, i wont recommend).
4. The blanket is really thin.. it only mattered a few hours when the ac was on.. but since the electricity went off while we were sleeping, it didnt matter anymore. We were awaken by the heat (no electricity, the generator was out too) at 5am, so we just went out and came back for the check out.

Pros:

Chambre simple et grande pour pouvoir espacer ses affaires. L'établissement est à seulement 5/10min à pied du centre ville.
Les hôtes sont très gentils et arrangeants.

Cons:

La fenêtre donne sur un mur en face, pas de réel "extérieur" mais bon au final on est pas souvent à l'hôtel..

Passate tre notti, la signora ci ha prenotato due tour senza ricarico. La struttura è un po’ vecchiotta ma pulita
Pros:

Posizione esattamente a metà tra la spiaggia di Corong-corong corong e el nido centro
Struttura semplice ma pulita, dispenser di acqua fredda e calda e caffè istantaneo. Personale gentile e pronto ad aiutare

Cons:

Il contesto non è piacevole e la struttura sembra ancora in ristrutturazione.

Don't stay here
Pros:

The size of the room. There was coffee on the lobby. The air conditioning worded albeit noisily.

Cons:

The room was by the main road in the basement and was depressing and noisy. There was construction starting at 7am supplemented by loud radio played by the staff who were very unfriendly.

I had to request bedding twice before having to make up the sofa myself.
