Spin Designer Hostel - El Nido

I stayed in a private room, it was spacious and clean, had hot water and soap. The room is comfortable, AC worked although it’s a bit noisy but it didn’t bother me. The free breakfast in the morning was great with coffee, pancakes and eggs. They had rice, fruit and a protein available as well. You can refill your water bottle too. Location is just up the road from all the restaurants and bars.

A very good hostel a little bit away (just 5 min walking) from the "hottest" El nido Area. The bar 147 inside the hostel is also amazing! They can help you to provide a moto ride or rent a motorbike too.

They have free buffet breakfast but up to 9 am only. Spacious lounge and wifi works throughout the hotel. Great service from Kay at reception. Room could be better, it's really small. Water pressure from bidet isn't much. I stayed for two days and they didn't clean the room. Pool looks dirty and far from inviting. This is not a party or social hostel

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.

Nice hostel. Food is simple but what makes it special is that you can request how you like your eggs be cooked. Relaxing ambience. With nice pool and laundry area.
