Coron Hostels

My overall experience is good! I'm the type of person who prefers active travelling, so the hotel is needed literally just for sleep, shower and storing stuff. My requirements for the hotel were good proximity to the city center and nice room with hot shower. Well, the location is truly good, it's a bit on the hill so to get to the city center you just need to come down. In the same building there is a great cafe DAYO who offer 10% discount per day for the Oceana Bay hotel's guests. During our trip to Philippines, Coron was the last destination and the 4th hotel we stayed at, and that was the only one with some room facilities issues. When we checked-in it turned out there is no water in the shower, the staff truly tried to be helpful, the receptionist girl offered us to stay in another upgraded room before the problem will be solved. The thing is when one day later we had to return to the room the problem with the water wasn't solved, we had to contact staff all the time which for sure was absolutely inconvenient, especially when water could be cut off during taking shower. At that point nobody cared already, there were no offers to change the room or to offer us a discount. The siphon from the sink was leaking, so every time you wash your hands, the bathroom floor is immediately in water. The AC is truly loud, but this is absolutely normal for Philippines, as well as the absence of hair dryer. Nice thing that the hotel unlimitedly provides drinking water in the hall. The hotel also offers tours, bike rent, transfer to the airport, but I'd suggest to check it out in the city first, we've found more convenient and better price offers there.

Stayed here for 4 nights. Great location in heart of Coron. 4 minute walk to pier for island tours. Can book all tours through the hotel cheaper than any online vendor like klook ect. Room clean but a lot of ants in the room every day and we did not have any food in the room. We were killing 10+ ants on the bed every evening which wasn’t ideal. Staff very attentive and helpful. Was a power cut for 8 hours on our final day which was very annoying as no aircon but that was island wide so can’t blame hotel for that. Overall good budget stay but do not expect luxury.

We stayed here for four nights, only coming to sleep, so we didn't really notice the slight mold on the walls and high humidity in the rooms. But for this price, it's not so bad. Service is great, all personal always helps with any problems!

The double bed was only 1.4m wide, extremely cramped. It seems like everything in the Philippines is small – cars, beds, even meal portions. The air conditioner only had a 'cold' setting with no temperature control, which was quite uncomfortable and could easily make you sick. They don't clean the room or change towels daily. After 4 days, it felt pretty dirty. The hotel is newly built, so it's clean and modern, but there's still a musty smell. The breakfast included with the booking was quite palatable.

Was very thankful to the staff for setting up the room for my girlfriends birthday. As for the room itself though it was smaller than I expected and our bathroom was separate from the room which was different from everyone else’s, this meant other people had access to our shower and bathroom area which I’m heavily against and probably wouldn’t have booked had I known.

The location is great, very close to the restaurant and the port, the environment is comfortable and bright, the staff are very friendly and helpful, the room equipment is comfortable and tidy, and the breakfast is also very rich, I will stay here again next time

In general, good gestahous, tired rooms, old towels, some with holes, smell of chlorine. Just don't think to take a room with a fan, there is no toilet and hot water. The room was replaced, the goodness of the hostess is a kind girl and tried to always please, thank you. The room was replaced with a surcharge, all the rooms with air conditioners are equipped with heaters. Unfortunately, in my room there was a huge cockroach, the next morning the room was replaced, again thanks to the hostess. The location is not the most convenient, but for such a price will generally go, there is a McDonalds in 5 minutes walk, by the way, the chicken there is awkward, do not take. Since the food theme has been affected, the Mexican cafe Salud was very enjoyed.

Upon arrival, we found out that the Ricardo Hotel was fully booked, so we had to stay in a half-empty building next door. Overall, the room wasn't bad. It had a balcony and hot water. However, there was no shower kit provided. The room description mentioned a hairdryer, but there wasn't one at all. The sink drained very slowly! On our last day, there was no water in the toilet. Tom, a staff member, was very helpful and tried his best to assist us with everything we asked for. Big thanks to him 🙏. And that rooster crowing at midnight – that's a special kind of crazy! 😂 I think he's ready for the soup pot! 🙈 The hotel's location isn't ideal, but there's a 24-hour McDonald's nearby. Getting from the hotel to the town center and the pier (where boats depart for tours) costs 50-60 Philippine pesos for two people on a tricycle. The hotel staff booked a tricycle transfer for us to the pier in the morning, for our boat to El Nido. However, the driver quoted an excessively high price, comparable to what we paid for a minivan from the airport. Considering it's not a long ride at all, it was quite unpleasant. All in all, it's livable, especially considering the cost. We booked our stay not long before check-in, so we didn't have many other options.

There are many types of breakfast, you can choose in advance every day. The environment is good, the hotel itself can provide breakfast, lunch and dinner at affordable prices. It's just that the air-conditioning cabinet in the room is loud and noisy. People who are sensitive to noise must wear earplugs. It can be said that there is no wifi, and there is basically no signal when connected. It’s best to buy a local phone card, which is faster than Unicom’s international traffic that a friend bought. There is one issue that has to be mentioned. I stayed for 4 days, only one day I put up a sign to clean the room, and the other days were DND. However, on this day, my AirPods disappeared when I returned from sea. Such things that are not clear inside the room really affect the mood. I hope that all guests who will stay in the future will take good care of their personal belongings.

The location is good, center. Nearby are restaurants and cafes. The beds are clean, the pillows are also clean. Plumbing needs updating. The air conditioner is noisy at night, you have to sleep with earplugs. Breakfast is very meager: no fruit, basic butter, cheese. Wi-Fi signal is not stable. A huge negative towards the hotel employee: we had to go to the ferry to El Nido by 7:30 o'clock. She advised arriving at the ferry terminal in 2!!! hours. For what? So that we wait there for 2 hours for the ferry to depart? Are you out of your mind? It’s good that we didn’t listen to her and left at 6:45. And we all managed to do it. Incompetent employee.
