Not coming back
Very tiny room, we had the room at the end so near the rubbish which bring cockroach and other insects around or inside.
No hot or warm water. It’s not air conditioning it’s a ventilation. The bed is not confortable at all, even though I like firm mattress, I had to stretch in middle of the night. Then they don’t clean the room during your stay, so you go out once and all the dirt are in your room and water from the shower so it’s a mess right away.
They also don’t give you new towel during your stay so…
I guess if you alone and don’t mind about comfortable hotel room its fine, if not, maybe find something else.
The good thing is the location, it’s perfect.
That’s it I think.

It was so close to the beach. The room was great for the price. It's walking distance to the main town for the tours. Hot and cold water was provided all day. Good wifi. The staff are friendly and helpful. I loved staying here.
The name of the property is confusing as it was hard to find as nobody knew what it was. It is actually owned by Eco Hotels. So it should be renamed so guests can find it quickly. They should also put more hooks and shelves in the room to help with storage.

Great budget option, amazing sunsets.
After reading other reviews I was preparing myself for the worst but I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. The biggest problem was finding the hotel - it’s actually connected to the Eco Suites hotel, and the name Dormitels is nowhere to be seen. It’s also marked wrong on the map - follow Google maps and you’ll find it. I walked up and down the beach for 20 minutes with my stuff searching for the hotel.
Check in was fast and easy. My room was fine. The rooms are small, but comfortable. Double bed, Air conditioning and private bathroom. The water is not great but this is normal in this area of Palawan. You can shower and wash hands, however, need to use bottled water to brush teeth etc. there was only cold water in the shower, but for me that was fine as it was boiling hot anyway. The location is stunning. The beach is seconds from the room - and sunsets are insane here. I walked into El Nido town every morning to do the boat trips - it took about half an hour. Or 100 pesos for a tricycle. Loads of great food options right by the hotel too.

Meget småt, men fantastisk beliggenhed. Der lugtede lidt af mug/svamp på toilettet, der var ikke varmt vand i bruseren. Venligt og hjælpsom personale. Fin mulighed for at lave egen instant kaffe i fællesarealet. Ligger på stranden.

Close to beach but construction site.
Pro's: clean but basic rooms, nice staff, reasonable breakfast available on site. Right next to Corong Corong beach and some nice restaurants. Reasonable rates.
Con's: massive construction works underway with site workers living behind the rooms and working at the front. Walls are very thin. Generally noisy.

Good for the price
The room was simple yet adequate. We were allocated a room a while away from the actual hotel but it was ok. We accidentally booked a double fan room, but got an aircon room anyway which was nice. There is a lot of construction going on around the grounds, but El Nido is growing at a rapid rate so this is to be expected, it's certainly not the fault of the hotel or staff. The little coffee shop in the ally on the left going up to the main road has the best omelettes ever! All in all a good stay and staff were pleasant.

Ужас и кошмар
Это сложно назвать отелем, это хлев. Очень маленькая комната, без окна, 1 кровать и больше ничего, нет даже элементарной тумбочки или какой-либо поверхности, чтобы сложить вещи, не говоря уже про шкаф. Нет горячей воды, только холодная. В три часа ночи начинают орать петухи за забором и не замолкают до утра. Слышимость такая, будто это происходит у тебя под подушкой. Грязь, насекомые. Вай фай нет, хотя заявлен в описании. И за все это удовольствие берут депозит 500 песо. О том, чтобы его получить назад нужно позаботиться заранее, потому что после 23 часов до 7 утра на ресепшене никого нет. Единственный плюс этого отеля, это местоположение - на пляже, откуда отходят лодки с турами по островам.
Не рекомендую, на этом же пляже есть более достойные варианты

Gick att sova där inte mycket mer
Sa att de hadde wifi men de funkade inte. Om man vill att rummet skulle städas skulle man tydligen lämna in nycken i receptionen men de sa de inget om. Duschen gick bara att sätta på och av så kunde inte få någon värme i den så de var iskallt.

Dirty and stinky water!
The water has foul smell, it's filled with rusts! And the smell sticks to your skin and I hated it so much. I'll never recommend nor come back here! Check in at Novie's Tourist Inn instead you people, my family and I loved there.

Value for money
A very basic hotel, therefore very affordable. Aircon worked well so did the tv. Staff was friendly and helpful. Close to Corong beach for nice sunset views. Reccommended for anyone on a budget who can live with cold showers and without wifi.

Do not recommend
Horrible place would not recommend everything is in horrible condition. It seems like they didn't clean the sheets from the previous people staying. The are plenty of other places around to stay at that are slightly more expensive but definitely worth the money. I booked 3 nights here but only stayed for half a night. They also ask for a 500 peso deposit for the key

Except for a serious horde of ants marching across our room and bed this place was as decent as you could expect for the price.

Great for the rate
It was everything it claimed to be. The rate was very inexpensive and the bed and bathroom were clean. That being said, it's not the hyatt. The electricity is often off during the day but on at night, the shower had no hot water and very little pressure, and the bathroom floor was large blocks placed on dirt so there are likely ant problems during some seasons. I needed a place to sleep before my 5 day island hopping tour and it was great for that. 50php for a ride into town was well worth the savings.
