Spin Designer Hostel - El Nido

The best facility you could have in El Nido - budget or premium. Everything is so well planned and designed. There is not a single point you could complain about. Let’s go one by one 1. Location - right in heart of El nido township. 450 meter or 6 minutes walk to El nido beach where tours begin 2. Pricing - facility provides best available features but pricing is very economical. I was born an Indian. I understand the value for money, this place is what best describes it 3. Staff - they are very courteous and welcoming. 4. Cleanliness - this facility started in 2024 I think. Everything is new and so well maintained Sheets are super clean , so are washrooms and all other places 5. Comes my favourite part - facilities and layout - this hotel has everything you would need. Now if you expect Casinos or shopping malls within a hotel - please don’t come to El nido , you are better off in a tier 1 city anywhere in the world. This hotel provides free breakfast. I booked @ 22.5 CAD a night. If you book early , you could get a dorm for 15 CAD or 11 USD or whatever currency you use - please convert. I could not get it for my first night as only female dorm was available by the time I booked. I booked my first night at One hostel. One hostel is ok, price is super cheap @ 500 php for a mixed dorm but is no where compared to Spin. What Spin offers - free breakfast, there is a free laundry, washing machines - do your laundry here , just get your own detergent , swimming pool - beautiful layout of hotel , a in-house full sized bar with staff - don’t need to go out for a drink at all, one complimentary mock tail voucher upon your arrival ( I got it when I arrived , rules may change with times ) , there is in-house ATM by the bar ( this is the most importantly feature - I have a night limit credit card and I don’t feel comfortable using it in unknown places especially in Asia and compromising it. You are secure to use a ATM which is in your hotel ), there is a designer space for hanging out just besides reception, a beautiful and spacious cafeteria. You can book your tours , hire a bike and book your return to Puerto Princesa from reception. They just note down you name and you pay directly to their partner. The rates are standard and fixed rates of market. They have game nights like beer pong when I arrived, check the short video. The layout of this place is so so good that I wish I could stay here yearlong. Everything is where it should be - it’s indeed a designer hotel. There is a faucet outside hotel to wash your feet - they do get sandy when you arrive from beach- everyone in El nido is a bag packer and wears sleepers when going out. The dorms are so spacious. The lockers are so big for every bunk bed , there is curtain for your bunk bed - full 360 degree of privacy , shared washrooms are big and toilet and shower areas are completely different - you will feel so clean during and after taking a bath as there is no possibility of a urea smell. The sockets in your bunk are so ideally positioned, big mirrors available in washroom and your own room. What it doesn’t have - only a shuttle to the moon I believe Now I did mention I had to book one hostel for my first night of stay. But I visited SPIN upon my arrival , checked out the facility and asked them to book me a tour as I would transfer here next day anyway. When I arrived here early at 7.30 am next morning, the receptionist gave me free breakfast. ( due to be noted that I had not stayed here the last night and that this was way out of the way for early checkin) 10 out of 5 stars for giving me the unexpected and unimaginable at such a great price. I have an option to go for Coron on last day of my stay but I will rather stay here not to loose my one night stay opportunity. Coron can wait , I won’t waste my SPIN night

Spin Designer Hostel is a stylish and affordable option, suitable for young travelers on a budget who prioritize location and design over luxury. However, those seeking greater comfort and amenities may want to consider other options. Improvements in cleanliness and room facilities would significantly enhance the guest experience. Bring your own hair dryer and toiletries. Request a room further inside the hostel for a quieter stay. Guests with high cleanliness standards may want to consider other accommodations.

My two nights stay at El Nido. I took a single room in this hostel. Room: Very clean. Bed was comfy. AC performance was Ok. Bathroom was clean and had hot water running, had bath gel and shampoo. Wifi worked super. Service: Staffs are very helpful. I must mention about Kaye who helped me to choose tour operators, food places and things to do in El Nido. Breakfast was fine- american brekafast, some local item and fruits+tea/coffee. Every monday they do a movie night from 7pm at their dining area. Boarders can use manual washing machine for free. Location: Superb. Only 8/10 mins walk to the happening area of El Nido beach. Las cabanas beach is only 8/10 minutes by tricycle. Airport is around 15/20 mins away.

It’s my second time staying at Spin and I can say that it’s still one of the best hostel I have stayed in. Clean, free breakfast buffet, and comfortable beddings surely are the highlight of the property. I’ll comeback for the third time when I visit El Nido again!

Perfect location. Walking distance to everything. Reception always smiling and reayd to assist in everything and anything you might need. From tour to transportation. They are very reliable and prices and always just. Honest hostel.

I recently stayed at hostel and had a wonderful experience. The staff was friendly and attentive, making check-in smooth and easy. The room was clean and comfortable, with great amenities. The location was perfect, close to many attractions and restaurants. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the area
