I really liked the hostel. The staffs are very accomodating and friendly especially Angelo and the Housekeeping dept. The bathroom is decent, the beds are big, they also provided the towels, blankets, and the extra pillows when we asked for it. It’s a great place to stay, location-wise, if you want a hostel around the town but not too crowded, this is the place for you.

Great Architecture and Great Service Starting from check in to check out Angello was helping out of the way. Room was adequate for me, bathroom was nice, facilities and lights are more than necessary. Breakfast sitting area was nice and green, Staff at restaurant was good. I had best omelet in Phillipines. Angello was always helping in everything.

Location - it's in the town but minutes away from the busy streets which I really like cos the ambiance is cozy, quiet, and relaxing. The common area is quite spacey too. You can read books in the couch, do some work remotely, just about anything :) Food - buffet breakfast is included. I rarely eat in the premise so I can't comment on this one but I don't remember having a bad tasting food too. ;) Staff - THE BEST! Shout out to Angelo and the other one whom I forgot the name (i'm sorry) in the reception. Claire and RJ in the bar, and every staffs at Spin! They really look out for you and will engage you to the activities, you'll never feel lonely even when you're traveling SOLO. Room/Bed - Pretty big bunk beds in dorm rooms with storage lockers for each. Only thing that I…

One of the best hostels I ever stayed. Cordial staff and awesome ambience. Entire hostel emits positive vibes and energy. Staff are very cordial and helpful. Needless to mention young, dynamic and energetic Angelo who was everywhere in the need of hour. I stayed four nights. Highly recommendeble for worthy accommodation

The place is recommended for all types of travelers. Solo, couples, groups, their rooms can accommodate them. What I love about the place was that the staff is very friendly. I can comfortably work in the lobby with their comfortable sofas and chairs. You may opt to play games as well. The room I stayed in is clean and quiet. The comfort rooms are amazing. With Bidets of course. Shout out to the receptionist, Angelo, who is very accommodating and amazing. He shared with me how El Nido preserves their natural resources by their (El Nido) waste management. I was able to gain understanding why El Nido is different from others. Thank you Spin Hostel. I had a great time in El Nido, gained friends and knowledge. More power and success!

Angelo was so helpful and went above and beyond for our one night stay! Will definitely recommend this hostel to anyone travelling solo or otherwise. Love that towels were provided and that there was an egg station at breakfast!

Best staff ever encountered with good rooms and breakfast. Angelo was there for everything I needed and always a charm. The AC should not be left to be controlled by guests in my opinion. Also a bit noisy in the 3 different rooms I stayed. Pity about the lost jacket. Will repeat

Just finished 3 nights in this hostel, it was so great. Lovely rooms, clean bathroom and shower area and a super breakfast too. Angelo, who works behind the desk, is so helpful and smiley, he planned out my days for me and I had a great few days... well worth it!
