Keen's Place

Very close to the Provincial Capitol, the facade on the outside looks very small but the property is actually quite spacious inside.

Since we checked in during the Baragatan Festival, and the property is very close to the Provincial Capitol compound, the noise was too loud. Should your stay be on another time, I don’t think the noise would be that bothersome.

Nice place and the staff specially Maam gloria very lovely

None

Location, friendly staff

Travel agency they are affiliated with. Cancelled twice.

Просторный номер, чистый, большая кровать. Есть место для чемодана. Достаточно тихо, до аэропорта можно дойти пешком за 20-25 минут. Можно заказать туры через персонал, но мне тур к подземной реке не понравился, организация была отвратительная, может стоит заказать в другом агентстве.

Окно выходит в коридор, поэтому без вида.

The staff were really lovely, helpful and accommodating. My partner and I had a lovely stay.

Nice staff very helpfull

Not the most luxury place but what you can expect for the price quite noisy

Relatively large and comfortable room for budget price

Shower heater was broken but the staff provided another room's bathroom to get shower so the problem was solved.

Excellent staff / owners!

Vriendelijk personeel Niet ver van het centrum

Prijs kwaliteit verhouding. En vriendelijk en behulpzaam personeel.

Close to center, good internet and an accommodating host who helped us book a ride to el nido

Cleanliness could improve

tres bien comme d habitude super terrasse

rien

Sehr nette Menschen. Lage sehr gut. Restaurants, Shops , Flughafen alles in der Nähe. Zimmer einfach aber sehr sauber. Super Rooftop Veranda!!! Van/Bustickets und Ausflüge werden organisiert. Das Preis/Leistungsverhältnis ist sehr gut.

Die Fenster der meisten Zimmer gehen wirklich zum Gang, d.h. es ist ein bisschen dunkel und man hat keine Sicht- hat uns aber nicht gestört, weil wir uns eher auf der Dachterrasse aufgehalten haben oder unterwegs waren. Leider wird kein Frühstück/Kaffee angeboten.

Great value for money. Nice, helpful staff. 15 - 20 minutes walking distance from arrivals.

We only ate once during our stay and it was alright.

Water in the shower no pressure at all..at least put bucket and tabo so we can clean our self well.

The staff working at the hostel were incredibly friendly and welcoming. They were so helpful and really created a wonderful atmosphere for our stay. We got breakfast on the rooftop which was very special.

It could be a little loud during the night with different sounds, but that’s not something the hostel can change.

Clean, easy to get to, handy, good staff,

Raining

Nice rooftop terrace to hang out. Lovely house cats wondering around.

We could see somebody's kitchen from our bathroom. The next house was so close. Bathroom is a bit outdated. But this was a cheap accommodatation so you get what you pay for

Location was good. Nice roof chilling area. Very friendly staff.

AC cant left on which is only way to rotate air in the room. This has cased that there was mold in the room which cased quite bad respiratory tract infection for me.

Nice staff, cute dogs and really cool terrace. Walkable from the airport.

Beds and shower could be better, but not much to complain about.

The location was close to the airport (15 min walk) and many shops and restaurants. The owner was very friendly and helpful. The room was a good size and the bed was comfortable. Good for our one night stay to catch an earlyorning flight. Good value for money

Sheets and pillows were a bit old and the aircon rather noisy.

Second time staying here & would highly recommend. Rooms are perfect & have everything you need. Staff are lovely & beds comfortable.

Air conditioning was a bit loud but we survived :)

We found this place great for its location near the airport. We booked here two times both when we arrived and night before we left via airport. The staff were nice and was ok for just a night. It needs an upgrade for sure but not uncomfortable. It’s great value and perfect for a short stay.

Good location

Aircon wasn’t very powerful

AC in the room, comfortable.

I think i have booked 4 stays (or more) already with them. The staff already knows me. They always give me the same room (room 14). Pretty spacious room, and very near to almost all key places: provincial capitol, airport, mall, convenience stores, and restaurants.

Water pressure is kind of weak. There was that one time that the WiFi was down. But it wasn’t their fault. Internet service in palawan really sucks.

It was great for what we needed; somewhere to rest before a flight the next day. Good location! Some really nice coffee shops and restaurants nearby. A 10mins walk away from a very big shopping mall which is handy if you are travelling in between places and need to pick things up. Short drive away from the airport and port. Wifi was actually really good here, better than what we'd had at other stays. The women running the business were very kind and helpful.

The chickens in the morning but this wasn't a major problem for us as we are early risers and had to get a flight anyway.

The lady who runs the place was extremely friendly and helpful. The same goes for anyone who worked there. I rented a scooter from there and they told me some good places to visit.

Nothing. The place was great value for money.

Only stayed there for one night. Bed and Bathroom were fine. Comfortable and clean

No windows that open to some space with fresh air ( one opens into some kind of hallway and the other one doesn’t open at all). Because of this the room was smelly and felt uncomfortable. Also the room was pretty dark as there was nearly no daylight. No free drinking water, needed to pay for a small cup with just a sip of hot water.

The family that run the place were very helpful and friendly rooms were comfortable and clean too the roof top is a lovely space to relax

Cheap, good staff, comfy enough

There is a school next door and the assembly’s are very loud in the morning.

Good location, helpful staff, cute kittens! Clean and basic.

Air con is old and right over the bed. Shower had bad pressure.

I like the rooftop. The room was clean, and there was AC in the room. The owners are nice.

The owner arranges the trip and transport. They arranged for me a trip for the underground river and transport to Port Barton. And for the transport they charged me 700 pesos and they told me it is fixed price, wheras it wasn't true. The transport price should be less, not more than 450 pesos.

The women who runs the hotel and all of her lovely staff are amazing so friendly, kind and made sure to do anything so we enjoyed ourselves. the rooms where nice but we especially loved the roooftop filled with plants and lovely furniture. it has a cd player and lots of old cds so we could play music and enjoy the evening. they love their animals too and all of the cats where so cute and friendly. we loved it!’

nothing

Location, rooms are basic but everything works!

Pressure in shower is low but is as expected. The toilets on floor2 is very small

You can’t find a better value than keens place! Nice, clean comfortable room with ac, hot shower and tv! Super friendly staff and plenty of restaurants and shops within walking distance

Nothing

Comfortable room at an affordable price. Friendly staff to greet us on arrival and close to plenty of good restaurants.

N/A

Basic and clean room, great rooftop to chill out, helpful staff and position near to the airport.

No soap available. Too many dogs and cats around the property. A fighting rooster farm right in front guarantees an early wake-up without alarm clock 🤪

Very clean, comfortable room.& well priced. Awesome roof top terrace. Enjoyed our stay.

Location was not the best, 15 - 20 min walk towards the port. But it was no problem as Bike hire available from reception. @ 500 Paso per day.

Good value for money

Clean property, basic room. Warm shower. great rooftop filled with plants to just kick back an relax in a very busy city! And really welcoming staff! Would 100% recommend.

-

Fine place for one night. Staff was friendly. They arrange transfer to el Nido. Room is fine and clean.

Bed was quite hard and not much waterpressure.

Behind it there is a chicken and rooster farm. We couldn’t sleep because of the noise and next door to it the neighbours kept making noise till all hours of the night. We booked a trip through them to the underground river tour we travelled there for 2 hours squashed in a minivan then when we got there the tour guide said it was cancelled due to bad weather he tried to play dumb and tell us that no one notified them and the decision was just made to cancel all tours. But when I asked another tourist that had been there before us he said the decision was made 2 hours ago and there was a sign on the door. But they still demanded 400 pesos each from us for their time even though the tour didn’t take place. The owners of the property said there is nothing they can do but we had to pay. The point is not the money but people taking advantage of tourists thats the frustrating part

Pleasant stay close to sites in town

Basic facility. Good value for money

Good value clean friendly staff and owner. The location was ok not far from the Main Street.

Everything was very basic down to their not supplying water to refill bottles. No liquid soap, No coffee or tea or even facilities for making your own.

At Keens Place I loved the most, that they have so many cats and dogs - they are taking good care of them (some of them were strays). The staff (really all of them) are soooo kind and friendly, they would always like to have a chat and help with all wishes. The rooms are big and comfortable with a good shower. They have a beautiful rooftop with a lot of plants, wich is so relaxful after a daytour to underground river or just a day in the city. It is also perfectly located, close to the airport and surrounded by many restaurants (and bars).

They told me, the rooms in the 2nd floor were better (but unfortunately the 2nd floor was fully booked) ;-) will try that next time...

Breezy roomy rooftop terrace for chilling out after daily races in Puerto Princesa.

A resident dog occasionally produces leakage inside the premises, so watch your backpack!

Friendliness of staff, the owner helped me book a tour to Honda Bay islands, you can also book the tour to the underground river. Great value for money, bathroom is really small and air conditioner is noisy but still works well, given the really reasonable price I still think the place is decent. Room was clean and there's a large roof terrace on the 2nd floor. Towels and toilet paper are provided, contrary to what I read in some other reviews. It is located 10 minutes from the town centre / baywalk by tricycle and 5 minutes from the airport. I also read people complaining about the mattress being too hard but I found it perfectly fine and slept really well! At the end of the road there are plenty of tricycle drivers who can take you anywhere. There's a great Filipino family restaurant around the corner, and a vegetarian restaurant across the road, along with a mini market. I suggest buying the large 5L or 6.6L bottles as the property doesn't have a refill station. The owners were very kind to hold on to my luggage after check out as my flight was late in the evening.

Lovely hosts, very very clean, basic but comfortable rooms, good location

AC a bit loud

Nice rooftop, quiet area, near the airport

No breakfast available, dogs are barking every time i walk through

It was a very nice place, walkable everywhere and the staff were nice and helpful. Also a cool roof top place to chill.

Staff very friendly. Good location. Preston room and amenities

Fairly good sized room, high ceiling, very clean. It is very near the airport, just a short tricycle ride away, and it is centrally located, being just along the street by the side of the Provincial Capitol. Many good restaurants around. There is a fantastic lounge area on the third floor surrounded by lots of plants. It was airy and cool. The extra sink outside the toilet, and a place to hang clothes, were great additions to the room.

Combined toilet and shower was very small, and there is no place to put a toiletry kit/bag, so everything gets wet when taking a shower. But this is a minor issue that can be overlooked.

big room, comfy bed

I told the hotel we’d be arriving after midnight and when we arrived the whole place was locked up. we couldn’t call them as we had no sim and in middle of nowhere so had to open the gate and shout until someone came out- not ideal. they told us we should of told them- we did!! no hot water and no towels provided

Nice room and kind and helpful personal

Big room, very friendly staff

unfortunately there was a gym hall right outside our window, where they played several sports tournamenta during our stay. Luckily the noise only lasted a few hours in the late afternoon.

Tv not connected to youtube. No hair drier nor kettle. A bedside would help.

Pricing was good, lovely rooftop garden to sit and relax

Had to pay an extra 100 pesos for the use of 2 towels, if u need an extra roll of toilet paper they charge. as they do for an extra sheet on the bed…

Great location, staff were lovely throughout the whole trip. They were able to help with booking tours and transport and made sure that we had everything we needed during our stay. The air-conditioning was good and beds were decent. The room was clean and comfortable.

The room is basic, but we were expecting this based on the listing and the price we paid. The shower was very weak but did have hot water.

*No fridge, no water bottle. *No towel- u need to rent it or us ur own. *no electricity near bed. *I booked a trip to the unground river and they told me its 2100 including all - I had to pay extra 650 for that trip. *I booked transportation to el nido, right after underground river tour- i had to wait for 2 hours at some junction, waiting for the van.

Simple but has everything you need and is comfortable! The staff are incredibly helpful and thoughtful - they can help to plan trips and do not charge an inflated rate. asking them late at night and a tour was arranged and picked up the next morning.

Lovely place, very clean and nice owner:)

Very close from the airport, really friendly and helpful staff. We arrived late and just spent the night. Then left early in the morning, and they helped us arrange the van for Port Barton. The room was spacious, with toiletries and cold aircon.

The street where it is located can seem a bit lonely and dark, but nothing happened to us. It can just be a wrong impression.

Accommodating family siblings and children , Walking distance to capitol site As solo traveller security is priority at Keens place

Good place 2 stay for the price. The staff was super friendly. Clean rooms and good aircon

Aircon was a bit too loud

clean and nearby a restaurants and airport

i like everything about this place. the location is great, easy to find food and convenience store, the room is spacious and clean, they have hot water also. They have a nice rooftop for smoking area

the water pressure is low, they don’t provide water and coffee or tea.
