Pawikan Hostel El Nido Hostel

Pawikan is a nice place to stay so beautiful and nice service.

Shoutouts to Elona, Miguel and the rest of the guys! thanks for taking care of us. Accessibility of this place is good, all around. Breakfast was awesome tnx!

Very friendly staff. Service is super. They helped us for everything we need. Room is a little bit small but it’s ok, it’s clean and comfy. Gonna go back here.

Im must say that the service is really great! clean room, helpful staff, and trust worthy hostel and budget friendly. Godbless.

I had a fantastic stay in El Nido with Pawikan. From booking island hopping tour, van transfers, you handled it all quite well. Thank you Elona & entire staff for looking after. Excellent breakfast & coffee. I look forward to staying again.

I had a great stay in Pawikan Hostel — very accommodating and friendly staff, esp sir Bryan. They are in a strategic location, near from shops, pharmacy, sari-sari stores and walking distance going to Pukka Beach. I will highly recommend this place for anyone who would want to spend their memorable and hassle-free stay in El Nido. Kudos, Pawikan Hostel Management and Staff!

They has good staff that are friendly and helpful. They has good rooms even if its affordable. They has free coffee and giving free breads and breakfast every morning. A staff even cook for us at 4:00 am and give us free sandwiches before checking out. Recommending this hostel if you are on a tight budget.

Best Budget-friendly hostel in the heart of El Nido town because they will spoil you with everything like free breakfast, they arrange van transfers (from or to the airport or when you go to Nacpan Beach), also all island hopping tours, taraw climb etc. All these can be billed after you checkout making sure that you're paying the standard price. I stayed here on the first and last two nights in El Nido. I stayed overnight at Mad Monkey Nacpan on the third night and Outpost on the fourth night. All three were incomparable as they offer different experiences and vibes all through out your stay, but Pawikan Hostel is the best when you feel like staying anywhere near Bacuit Bay. Its just 3 minute walking distance.

Very good value for money and especially since El Nido is now a tourist hub. The staff are really friendly and family run. They help organise tours, cook a fresh breakfast for you and help organise your activities in El Nido. They even let me use their shower (it was hot! ) after I had checked out (I returned from a tour). They also rearranged for me to take an earlier bus back to Puerto princesa.

Clean rooms and the property itself is noticeably well maintained and very accomodating staff. They are very willing to help you out with any queries. I would highly suggest this property with my friends and family.

The best place to stay in El Nido. The rooms are clean and the staff and owner are hospitable and helpful. The hostel is also located in the town proper near the stores and restaurants so it's really a convenient place to stay. Highly recommended!

Great location — the port, convenience stores, and restaurants are all at walking distance, very clean and cozy room with comfortable bed and fully-functional AC and heater, very friendly and accommodating staff who arranged all tours and transfers for us. They also offer the best beef tapa we've tasted so far. :) My husband and I stayed here for 3 nights and we were warmly welcomed and entertained by the best hosts ever — Bryan, Tita Daisy, Tito Ben and the kiddos. :) We had a really great time. Thank you so much for accommodating us. We are definitely coming back! :)

We had a lovely stay here! They go out and beyond to be so lovely to their guests. The beds are comfortable and there is free coffee, tea and water anytime as well as a free breakfast in the morning!

Great people who are managing this place, the place was neat and clean, although the size of the rooms is not that big, but the staff have a very big heart. Our stay of 4 nights was memorable with them. I would definitely love to go back again and again due to the treatment we received during our stay. You always find smiling faces of people who are ready to help you at any given point in time.

Get the basics right and everything will follow. This is what I admire with this hotel. The rooms are clean, bed is comfortable, and the bathroom provides what is essential. Never judge it from the outside, where an ordinary looking garden will greet you. Inside is a very cozy hostel ideal for solo or small group travelers
What I love: free breakfast and unlimited coffee (Saves a lot of time and money instead of going out when you have an early morning tour)
What to improve: Additional shelves or clothes line. (Best to hang wet clothes outside)
Stayed Oct 29-31, 2016 at a double room upstairs.
I will surely come back to El Nido and stay here. ^_^

Very clean and comfortable place to stay while in El Nido. I loved it! The staff were very accomodating. Good food also. :) :)

I've there for nearly 10 days and I felt like I was with my family, the nicest staff ever! The rooms are completely clean, the breakfast its included and also free water. The position of the hostel its really good and you can ask for any information.

My wife and I stayed here for 3 nights and it was a great experience. The place is tidy, the location is 2 blocks from the beach which is not bad and most importantly it's far from the noisy parts of town where you hear the tricycles, scooters and loud chats. It is indeed a place where you can sleep well and relax after a busy day. Some people might think that it's pricey, I highly recommend that you book your island hopping tours and airport transfers with Pawikan Hostel so that you will get a better deal. Most importantly the customer service was excellent. The hostel's management will do their best to accommodate your needs. This hostel is highly recommended.
