    I had a pleasant stay at Happiness Hostel. The beds were comfortable and provided a sense of privacy. The location was perfect, right in the middle of town. I enjoyed spending time in the cozy lobby and appreciated the complimentary bread, coffee, and tea that was available all day. The breakfast with bananas every morning was a nice touch.

    One drawback was the lack of cleanliness in the bathrooms and toilets. They were not cleaned often, and the trash cans in the bathrooms were always full.

    The central location was a major plus, making it convenient to access everything. the friendly and helpful staff added to the positive experience. the comfortable beds and clean showers were also much appreciated. the free unlimited coffee and cold water was a nice bonus, and the shared area had a great vibe with cheap beer.

    The breakfast wasn't included in the price, but they did provide some fruits and buns in the morning for free and offered a 25% discount on the restaurant breakfast. the availability of Wi-Fi was limited to the common area, and there were not enough seats there at times, which made it difficult to find a place to sit.

    Best aspects of my Christmas stay were the warm and welcoming staff who provided helpful advice and always wore smiles. I also enjoyed the free breakfast of delicious warm cinnamon bread, accompanied by free tea and coffee. The location was perfect, right in the center of town with many dining options nearby.

    The noise from the social area and staff room that could be heard throughout the night, as well as the early morning building work which was disruptive. The beds, though they looked great in pictures, felt cramped and got too hot.

    Friendly and welcoming staff

    Balcony and swings with beach views for chilling. Private balcony in the room for added privacy. - Great location in the heart of El Nido yet quiet in the room. - Wooden sliding doors for privacy and isolation. - Clean hostel with a nice reception area for drinks and socializing. - Helpful staff who arrange tours and recommend activities. - Cozy beds with doors for privacy, charging points, and reading lights. - Clean rooms and bathrooms with functioning AC. Amazing common area to hang out and meet other travelers. - Organized private island hopping tours

    Felt spoilt, no complaints.

    We had a fantastic stay at the hostel in El Nido. The location was perfect, just a few minutes walk from the pier where all the boat trips start. The food was incredible, and we couldn't get enough of it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The hostel itself was cozy and had a beautiful view of the sea from the swings. But the highlight was the staff, who were always friendly, helpful, and professional. They made us feel right at home.

    The value for money at Happiness Hostel was excellent, and the room was comfortable and cool with sliding doors for privacy. The location was perfect, right opposite the beach, and the staff were friendly and helpful, providing great tour packages and arranging transportation.

    The food for breakfast could have been improved with better selection.

    Great location, within easy walking distance of the ferry terminal and town center. Friendly and helpful staff, always available to assist with trip planning and scooter hire.Rooms are private and well-designed, with sliding doors for added privacy.

    The noise level was unbearable, with loud construction work during the day and hammering late into the evening. Lack of proper cleanliness and hygiene, with bed bugs found in the dorm room.

    During my Christmas stay at this hotel, I was impressed with the exceptional service provided by the staff. They were friendly, helpful, and went out of their way to make my trip memorable. Additionally, the hotel's central location was a major advantage, as it allowed me to easily explore the surrounding area and visit nearby restaurants. Another aspect that I enjoyed was the free filtered water and morning snacks provided by the hotel, which added a nice touch to my stay.

    The noise level at the hotel was quite high due to ongoing construction, which affected my ability to relax and unwind. Furthermore, the cleanliness of the toilets, particularly the floors, was not up to par.

    We had a great stay at Happiness Hostel! The location was perfect, within walking distance to the beach and all the local attractions. The provided locker was large enough to securely store our belongings, including our laptops. We also appreciated the free flow of coffee and drinking water. The staff was responsive and the bathrooms were constantly cleaned.

    The location of the hostel is perfect, with beautiful ocean views from the lounge area. the rooms are clean, spacious, and offer privacy. the staff is very kind and helpful, always providing excellent service. the breakfast provided is simple but satisfying, with a variety of options including fruit, bread, and hot/cold drinks.

    One negative aspect about the hostel is that the shared bathrooms could have been cleaned more regularly, as they sometimes lacked tissue or had rubbish left out on the sinks.

    Small but nicely decorated hostel with friendly and helpful staff. the private beds were comfortable and had everything we needed. the location was great, close to shops, the beach, and tour options. Plus, there was a really good restaurant onsite with a discount for breakfast.

    The social area was small and the only place with wifi, which was a bit inconvenient. there were no female dorms or bathrooms, which made it hard to have privacy.

    The hostel has an excellent location, right in the center of town. It is also conveniently located near the harbor, making it easy to access boat tours. the beds are comfortable, providing a good night's sleep to guests. the staff is helpful, assisting with tour bookings and ferry tickets.

    The lack of indoor slippers in the sleeping area can be inconvenient as the floor tends to be sandy.
