Happy Monkey Hostel features an outdoor swimming pool, garden, a shared lounge and bar in El Nido. There is a sun terrace and guests can make use of free WiFi and free private parking.

You can play table tennis at the hostel, and bike hire and car hire are available. It was such a wonderful place where a lot of care has been given to the design and the facilities. The staff is extremely friendly, made us feel at home and really took care of us. We chose this place because it was close to the airport but we wished that we had booked more nights there! We had such a relaxing time at the pool and the hostel is close to Lio beach and about 10 min away from the center. We would love to come again one day.

100 metres from El Nido Beach, Frendz Hostel El Nido is located in El Nido and provides free WiFi and a tour desk. Featuring an outdoor swimming pool, this 1-star hostel has air-conditioned rooms with a private bathroom. Guests can enjoy Italian and Mexican dishes at the restaurant or have a cocktail at the bar. Everything. Great location. Room was nice and clean. The curtained beds in the 6-share was so smart, the curtain blocks out the lights pretty well and if you want privacy, you get it! Comfortable bed and clean. The shared toilets and showers outside the rooms meant I never had to wait or queue up to use the toilet! The building itself was cool, minimal but trendy decor, comfortable seats in common areas. The rooftop pool was amazing with great views. Bar upstairs served great drinks and food at the downstairs cafe was delicious (try the adobo breakfast burrito - one of the most delicious things I ate in the Philippines but I love adobo so I may be biased!) The Frendz meet-ups and nightly events were so fun. I enjoyed the bingo and karaoke wayyyy more than I expected. But it was the staff that really brought everything together for me. This hostel has the BEST staff I have ever met at any hotel / hostel. Very friendly, very fun, extremely kind. Kaye and Mark, thanks for chatting me up while I sat by myself at the pool on my first day and introducing me to other guests. Mark the bartender, thanks for the excellent drinks and the friendly vibes. The other Mark, Nico and JD: thanks for bringing the great vibes to Frendz meet ups and nightly activities. Emcee, I didn’t meet you at the hostel until the very last day but thanks for bringing the energy to our night out. Shoutout to Jonathan (not from Frendz but part of the Frendz family) for showing me where the party is in El Nido. I had the best time dancing the night away with you, Kaye, Emcee and others. From strangers to Frendz indeed! Can’t wait to come back!
