Alocasia Inn - El Nido

The location of the hotel.

Aircon is not cooling properly.

Estaba bien ubicado y bien de precio

El aire acondicionado parecia una sala de maquinas en una fabrica, no pudimos dormir. Habia una gente joven en unas habitaciones de al lado gritando y haciendo MUCHO ruido y tuvimos de salir a decir algo unas cuantas veces. No nos hicieron nada de caso.

Great location and value for the money

Great location, a few minutes walk to the beach, town and to the port.

Very noisy, old and smelly air conditioning unit, too hot to switch it off though. There was a fan in the room, but without the air con on it just blew hot air around. Bathroom taps were dirty. Shower pressure was very poor. Other residents unable to figure out how to use door handles and therefore slamming doors, which was very noisy.

Good location

Rooms are VERY SMALL not good enough for 2 people, also WiFi signal is very weak.

Läget var bra!

Ac:n var inte bra, personalen kändes non-existent.

Hôtel très propre.

It was in a good spot close to lots of shops and restaurants. Staff were friendly. Great stay.

There was a bad smell from the toilet.

The washroom terribly stings.

La posizione molto centrale comodissima per muoversi nel centro di El Nido. Lo staff molto giovane ma gentile ha provato a sopperire alle tante mancanze della struttura. Buono il wifi

A parte la posizione tutto il resto è un disastro.. non ha un insegna quindi è difficile da trovare.. struttura vecchia e molto sporca, senza finestre e con bagno impresentabile.. ci siamo stati una notte e non ci avrei mai passato la seconda

Buena ubicación. El chico de recepción muy bien, y entramos una hora antes del check in.

Aire acondicionada haciendo ruido toda la noche, incluso apagándolo seguía, no pude dormir en toda la noche. 3.30 am un chico llegó al hotel tocando la campanita durante 10 minutos, no dormí en toda la noche.

Läget, nära och bra allt och snäll personal.

Usel vatten tryck och varmvatten. Vi bodde på fjärde våningen och endast några droppar kallt vatten från duschen och vasken. Det luktade även avlopp i badrummet.Flera Kakelplattor på golvet var trasiga. Vi bad om ett nytt rum och flyttade ner på andra våningen där det var lite bättre men inte tillräckligt bra. Varm i några sekunder och sedan kallt.

The location is very central

Waterfront pressure was a not so great

La pieza amplia

No tenía agua caliente

Placeringen var god og personalet var søde

Der lugtede og var meget beskidt Afløbsrøret på håndvasken plaskede ud på gulvet, så der var beskidt overalt på badeværelset

Staff is friendly and helpful. Location is also around town and walking distance to everything

Not that I didn't like, but facilities can still be improved.

L’emplacement

Le manque d’entretien de l’hôtel qui se dégrade de façon marquante

Location.Walking Distance to the different establishments and restaurants.

Comfort room .Put screen in the comfort room so that insects will not come in.

Nada, la verdad que un lugar ESPANTOSO. El cuarto era super chico y tenía tierra por todos lados, los baños tenian un olor horrible!!! Yo reserve por las fotos y no era nada similar!!!

Habia olor a humedad y ácaros, el polvo en los muebles fue un horror, no se tomaron ni el tiempo de limpiar la habitación antes de nuestra llegada. Una pésima experiencia y nos contactamos con booking y tampoco nos ayudó!

Location was so convenient

Could have been a bit cleaner

The location was good

There was no breakfast included. The recycling can in the hall beside our room was smelly.

The location is good for the beach, port and very quick to the center of town (2 mins walk) Close to shops and everything you need The staff were friendly and helpful

The photos of the rooms and bathrooms are misleading, they are way more dated and dirty Cracked tiles in bathroom, drips coming out of the roof in the bedroom and bathroom AC works kinda.. but is very loud, Shower is hot but the pressure is so bad on hot or cold water might as well not both I understand for a hostel

ella at the counter was very friendly and helpful throughout our stay, she was able to help us with everything we needed and solved a booking problem we had. hotel was good for the money and in a good area. beds and pillows are comfy, toilets clean, there are bidets, and toiletries are provided too. irecommended it for the price

air conditioning and wifi were not working that well, perhaps the AC’s filter need cleaning, same with the water pressure, we had 3 rooms and in 1 the pressure was not enought to shower

Nothing only location. But hotel small and dirty

Very small rooms and internet didn’t work o the tv . Dirty and old never clean our room in 5 day stay had to ask for clean towels daily

The place was clean, and my sleep was really good. The best part about this place is that it’s very close to the beach and everything, including restaurants, shops, and travel agencies. I was happy that I chose a hotel with easy access to everything. I was with my cousin, just the two of us, and we got a queen bed room that was comfortable. I also liked that they had hangers in the room, and if you needed anything like hot water, they could provide you with a thermos. The staff, especially the girl at the front desk (I can’t remember her name), was very nice and friendly. Whenever I asked her a question, she had the information I needed, unlike the other guy, who didn’t seem to know some locations I was asking about ( not big deal though overall okay). I highly recommend Alocasia.

Great location—close to restaurants and the island hopping port! However, it can get quite noisy, especially from early morning street traffic and motors. If you're a light sleeper, I’d recommend booking a room farther from the street. Other than that, it’s a convenient and fun spot!

Stay away warning: The room we were assigned, although smelled like clean upon our arrival, degenerated into an awful sewage (feces kind of) smell in the following hours. This smell originated from the bathroom sewage system. We also found and killed two cockroaches in the bathroom during our time in there. We only spent a few hours in your hostel, the majority of them during rest/nigthime period, but albeit the short time in there, the smell was so intense that got imbued in our clothes after departure. It was a very unpleasant experience. Other factors were also not positive (like the street noise, the small size of the room with beds almost stacked on top of eachother, the stuck door on the shower room, with the door knob almost lose and broken because of the strength required to open/close it, the old and noisy air conditioner system). My worst experience ever in a Booking hotel. Does not even deserve to be listed in here.

The location is great, close to everything. However, the outside of the hotel smells bad like sewer. The staffs are friendly and accommodating. There is no elevator so you have to carry your luggages.

Bathroom could smell better.

Location was great, close to everything but far enough that there was no noise

Access to filtered water provided by the property would have been good, however there were shops nearby you can buy water so not a huge issue

Location

Smell from drains

Good air conditioner

No wifi in the room No hot water

The location was perfect. Right in the heart of the city. Outside was not too noisy. Staff were very helpful and booked tours for us.

The double bed was right up against the wall and the room itself was a bit squishy. I felt it could have been bigger overall. The aircon was very noisy. I wouldn't recommend the room for light sleepers. I also had a cough and the aircon blowing directly on the bed did not help with this. With the aircon on, providing a light blanket would have helped comfort levels. When asked for this staff could only provide a second sheet.

Nice location, basic but had everything you need , good air con.

Bad smells

Convenient location, the rooms are basic, but very very clean, the staff is super friendly, there’s air condition, it’s a little old and noisy but works well. Perfect for sleeping and heading out for tours or beach.

No hot water, but that’s not uncommon.

Clean, location, people was very helpful

Nice hotel. Very close to the beach area.

There's no hot-cold shower controller

Good location Really Nice staff

My room smelled like humidity. Wasn’t that clean The shower current wasn’t strong at all, not convenient for washing your hair

Very good staff,decent rooms but toiltes and shower not as much.

Position good in El Nido. And that is it.

Very basic for an upmarket price like this. Rooms are cleaned by mob-phone addicted staff, if you ask for that and leave the key. What I cannot stand at all is when reception lies to you. When asking for van shuttle (PHP 400) to Nacpan they said there is no van but only tricycle (1200 PHP), which is not true.

shower didnt worked, toillet stank

Not bad location. Close to main tourist street

The bed feels damp, the room is dirty and full of mosquitoes. Poor water pressure. The towels look like they were used to clean the floor. It's very noisy, you can hear everything outside and how the reception staff watching videos on their phones. I left this place after a few hours because it's impossible to live there. I asked the reception staff to help with the tricycle, he said the price 5 times higher. I don't recommend this place

The location is amazing. Close to everything but not noisy at all

The value for money was the worst we’ve had in the Philippines. There was a huge cockroach in the room which the staff tried to help us with but did not manage to. This left us a bit uncomfortable in the room.

The room is dirty!

Male Staff helpful

Good location in El Nido, very central. Not the fanciest hotel but a good affordable option.

The staff

Cold shower

The location was perfect! And the staff was really friendly.

The bathroom wasn’t really clean.

It’s within the town so it’s very accessible to the stores and restaurants

Hot shower is intermittent. There is a sudden bad smell going in the room (maybe the drainage or something). Lack some basic necessities like beddings

The location

No hot water, week shower pressure, no plugs in convenient places, no hooks to hang up anything, not even your towels. Very smelly drain in bathroom, no plug in basin, only sheet and no blanket, loud air con. The smelly drain in the bathroom made the whole room smell dreadful. Only one side cabinet to place things on in a room for 5 people. Slippery tiles in shower and bathroom. Don’t understand why they don’t have non slip tiles in the wet areas. Asked a staff member for an extra table to place things on, she said yes but it never materialised. In this case, you really get what you pay for.

Location and stuff was super, wifi good

Accommodation was smell badly, we didn’t have fridge

Convenience

I think the location is probably the best part

We stayed at this hostel in El Nido and had an awful experience. The moment we walked in, the rooms smelled rotten. It wasn’t just our room; our friends’ room was even worse. The toilet seat was broken, the doors wouldn’t close properly, and the door handles were of very poor quality. They don’t answer the phone or messages on the Booking.com app. We got stuck in our room due to the faulty door handles and had to ask our friends to get help from reception because they don’t answer the phone. While they eventually fixed the door handles, imagine if there was an emergency like an earthquake! Do not rely on their airport transfer service. We requested a van to San Vicente airport and had to follow up multiple times. The staff was clueless about the booking every time and didn’t communicate properly. The van ride was supposed to take 2 hours, but we ended up in Port Barton after nearly 4 hours. We had to organise another van to take us to the airport, which took another 2 hours and cost an additional 5000 PHP. When we tried to follow up for a refund for the 700 PHP original van, they finally picked up but no refund for the van and then blocked our number. Absolutely unacceptable service. On a positive note, they did refund us the one-day difference due to a typhoon affecting our arrival to El Nido.

too much! I extended for plus days

no complain

We love the room, and the place around. Was so close the main street and with so many options of restaurants and local stores. I really had fun in there.

have no complains

The location was great and the staff was very nice.

The bathroom was small and air conditioner made a lot of noise

The location of the place is good. There are many options for cafes and restaurants. Close to the meeting point for the tours like 3 min walking.

The room wasn’t too clean. There wasn’t hand soap. Any amenities, only toilet paper.

Close to the busy area and beach

Had to pay for hot water, no toiletry kits given, flush was not working well, shower was good but no hot water

kind staff good location.

Dirty and stinky full of sand room, disgusting sheets, not worth the money even though it’s cheap. Room doesn’t get cleaned every day only if you ask for it and even then it doesn’t help. Sanitary warning, don’t go there!

The staff. And the location

Intermittent hot water

Staff were incredibly helpful throughout our stay. Perfect locations was quiet at night.

Shower was not great and one temperature however this appears a common thing

Initially, I was disappointed from my first sight as this was a type of hotel I would personally never consider if I had been traveling with anyone other than my daughter. She is actually the one who selected this for our stay. It's not that anything was bad. I just stay at high end hotels for the most part. My first thought was to rent another hotel and to just chop it up as a loss. The front desk attendant, Mark Aaron, is what changed my mind. He has such a kind and caring attitude and wanted to do anything within his reach to make my stay as comfortable as possible. In fact, his customer service was impeccable and I can honestly say that he is one of the main reasons I stayed rather than going to another hotel. With that said, it's hard to find great customer service these days and I just wanted to make sure to give him a big shout out for being so attentive and always going the extra mile. He definitely stood out from the pack and is like a shining star in a dimlit world. I think his boss should not only give him a raise but also have him training any newcomers. He's a customer service ROCKSTAR!!

What I didn't like was the selection of channels available and the fact that even though the wifi was connected we were unable to access Netflix

None

Water supply not good, flushing of toilet and ac terrible. I will not stay again in this property. If uou want a nice vacation in ek nido dint book on this property
