I had the most amazing stay at Spin. As a solo traveller, I was greeted by the warm hospitality of the staff there. Big shoutout to Bebs, Claire, Hidrin, Joemar, Ammar and Sherri for taking such good care of me and making me feel at home all the time. I will highly recommend Spin to anyone who’s looking for a place to stay in Elnido! Also, the daily breakfast cooked by our chefs Joemar and Ammar are simply chef’s kiss. so sooo good. Great way to start your day Not to mention as well, the rooms are clean and spacious. Toilets are well maintained too

The Spin hostel .. at the beginning was a quiet location to rest. It is located at the corner going to the center of elnido. Bfast was good, but needs improvement on their coffee selections. Staffs were great and the manager Mr. Don is always there for inquiries. Room was small but clean, bfast was good.
