Reviews of OIA Beach Hostel - El Nido

Amazing location all the staff were very friendly and helpful was supposed to stay for 3 days ended up staying for 2 weeks and very nice family like community with local music most nights great food and drinks at a good price.

The people were amazing and the dogs and cats made it feel like home. Will definitely come back here next time.

The staff was very nice! The location is great no far from the city center. The vibe is very cool and common areas amazing!

14-8-2025 Pros: ------- The management team were good Especially the volunteer French guy Good sea view The bed was ok Cold AC room Free kitchen (stove, microwave) Free water dispenser

14-8-2025 I give 2 stars It was NOT a good experience for me I don't recommend it! To be honest I didn't feel I'm in a hostel, I felt more that I'm in a low income shelter! Not a good vibe! Nah it's not my place! Cons: ------- The location is far from the lively area in town Clothes were hanged on the outside wall A few guests (2 guests only) the others are volunteers ( total guests and volunteers around 20 ) The Facility is not well token care of Facility is 2 / 5 A few dogs are living in there A construction materials stored in the property Tow girls form the guest had attitude (not friendly) No amerberls no rain caution The billiard table is old and stick is with no head

The views and the people where amazing, had a great time there, will be back L)

Nice view and terrace for the sunset, they have a bar a small menu available.

Room didn’t have much space to put your stuff there was just a narrow hallway for people to get in their bunk beds. A bit overpriced compared to other hostels located closer to everything.

Staff were chill

Good enough for 1-2 nights. Very well located, right at the beach in a nice and quiet neighborhood but in walking distance from the center. Nice staff and the common area is cool.

The locker was broken and the mattress was pretty bad. Overall too pricey, over 20.- usd for a 8-bed dorm is way too much.

Toilet and showers are clean

The room is TOO small for that many people And it’s TOO expensive for the quality

fun vibes, great mango rum, clean, more rustic and outdoorsy but really nice. spacious outdoor bathrooms. Lot of chill out spots. Great location. Right off the beach! Really great food at their restaurant especially their noodles.

rooms are a bit small and a hassle if you get the top bunk but great value for your money!

The best thing about the hostel is the view and the chill out areas! They have gorgeous sunsets and hammocks you can chill in whilst you watch. They have a pool table and table tennis. The drinks and food they serve are cheap. The bathrooms are clean, showers are good. The ac in the rooms work well.

Beds are extremely uncomfy - however they have sign up saying new ones are on the way. Rooms are cramped and not the best. I think the hostel is a little overpriced for what you are getting but I guess that’s the same everywhere in El Nido.

Great stuff friendly people amazing views and location great facilities

The Vibe, the staff

Bed bit uncomfortable

This hotel has a breathtaking view. It's a good plus. But the bed was very bad!! There's no justification for having such a bed in a place where people pay to sleep. It was completely distorted and fell in the middle and I had to sleep in the hollow of the middle and the bed was sagging. Good to have a good view but we are paying for a room to sleep then the beds have to be good.
