The beds were incredibly comfortable; I slept like a baby (thanks to my neighbors for that). Very clean. The staff is helpful and will help with any questions. The location is good. You can book island tours at the hostel (I found Tour D a bit boring), scuba diving, and van tickets (and the PPS ticket is cheaper than on a well-known platform). P.s. Keep in mind that towels and padlocks are not free. The internet connection is poor, especially in the evenings - both Wi-Fi and mobile (I SMART)

Le seul point négatif c’est que les essuies pour la douche ne sont pas fournis et qu’il faut payer ce service en plus… Pour le reste ´l’hostel est bien

Really nice staff. the room was okay. Only one out of 5 hot shower in the first floor, and the water was lukewarm at best besides that good showers. quite a bit of mosquitos in the room on the first floor. had to remove them everytime I got in. overall nice hostel a bit too expensive for what I got.

I had a reservation, made four days prior. No bed was available upon my arrival. I wasn't informed beforehand, which wasn't great.

Lit confortable et intime, place neuve et propre. Le personnel est vraiment sympathique. Le point faible est que tout est mini, particulièrement déplaisant pour la salle de bain: les toilettes sont petites et très peu intimes, fermées par 2 portes vénitiennes ouvertes d’un demi pouce entre les deux et donne sur l’espace lavabo, la seule douche d’eau chaude est tellement petite que tu ne peux pas y déposer tes effets personnels. Le balcon donne une superbe vue sur El Nido et les monta...

This hostel is genuinely one of the nicest I’ve stayed in. It all looks very modern and gives a Greek / beachy vibe. The beds are very clean and comfortable and the rooms are private. The only downside is there was only 1 hot shower on our floor so we all waited to use it. The others were too cold to use. We were only there 1 night but I couldn’t see much of a social atmosphere but the hostel is so close to the town centre it’s easy enough to walk and socialise at a nearby hostel.

Very clean hostel, with comfortable beds. The bathrooms are very small relative to the number of guests. The security is poor. There is a guard that supposedly watches who enters the property but for the most part they are on their phone and anyone who looks like a tourist could enter the building without any issues and then waltz into the building & no locks into dorms, just a secure spot to lock valuables. Someone also fell out of the top bunk when the handle ripped out of the wall.

Was very clean, the ladies at the desk were super friendly and helpful. Bit of a walk from the main street with food/bars, but not bad. Super easy to find a tuktuk right outside the front door.

The staff were friendly and the beds were comfortable in this well-located hostel. However, we didn’t like that we had to change rooms after the first night despite booking for four nights. The staff came to our room and insisted we move after 9:30 AM even though check-out was at 12 AM. The toilets were often filthy and clogged so more regular cleaning would be appreciated. The pool at the entrance was small with filthy water, and we would have preferred spots to relax and sunbathe.

Dorm was nice and the bed comfy. Nice that the pool is there also. Only one hot shower per floor was kinda strange and the toilets are a little tight when sitting. Good location when you can’t get Frendz booked!

Really nice dorms but quite small. It’s a good place to stay if you want a quiet time in El Nido but no atmosphere or area to chill so depends what you’re after. No locks on the dorms which I didn’t love

Fijn en mooi hostel. Ziet er allemaal nieuw uit! Alleen 1 warme douche en de hokjes van de wc en douche zijn erg krap. Helaas niet echt een chill plek om te zitten, alleen buiten maar met regen is dat vervelend… Personeel is erg vriendelijk en behulpzaam.

A decent hostel which is in a quiet area but still within walkable distance to most things you need. They keep it clean and are friendly on welcome. Only one shower with hot water was a bit of a let down but may not bother some! I'd go back if I ever returned to El Nido

Blau Hostel is a newly built hostel and it definitely feels new and clean. The beds were comfortable and of good quality. The hostel states that WiFi should be available on the floors, but unfortunately it did not work where my bed was located in the room. There is also only one hot shower, and the water doesn’t get very warm. The clothesline is very small and doesn’t fit everyone’s laundry, and you have to pay extra for a towel, which is a bit disappointing for a hostel.
