It was so close to the beach. The room was great for the price. It's walking distance to the main town for the tours. Hot and cold water was provided all day. Good wifi. The staff are friendly and helpful. I loved staying here. The name of the property is confusing as it was hard to find as nobody knew what it was. It is actually owned by Eco Hotels. So it should be renamed so guests can find it quickly. They should also put more hooks and shelves in the room to help with storage.

Great budget option, amazing sunsets.
After reading other reviews I was preparing myself for the worst but I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. The biggest problem was finding the hotel - it’s actually connected to the Eco Suites hotel, and the name Dormitels is nowhere to be seen. It’s also marked wrong on the map - follow Google maps and you’ll find it. I walked up and down the beach for 20 minutes with my stuff searching for the hotel. Check in was fast and easy. My room was fine. The rooms are small, but comfortable. Double bed, Air conditioning and private bathroom. The water is not great but this is normal in this area of Palawan. You can shower and wash hands, however, need to use bottled water to brush teeth etc. there was only cold water in the shower, but for me that was fine as it was boiling hot anyway. The location is stunning. The beach is seconds from the room - and sunsets are insane here. I walked into El Nido town every morning to do the boat trips - it took about half an hour. Or 100 pesos for a tricycle. Loads of great food options right by the hotel too.

Close to beach but construction site.
Pro's: clean but basic rooms, nice staff, reasonable breakfast available on site. Right next to Corong Corong beach and some nice restaurants. Reasonable rates. Con's: massive construction works underway with site workers living behind the rooms and working at the front. Walls are very thin. Generally noisy.

Good for the price
The room was simple yet adequate. We were allocated a room a while away from the actual hotel but it was ok. We accidentally booked a double fan room, but got an aircon room anyway which was nice. There is a lot of construction going on around the grounds, but El Nido is growing at a rapid rate so this is to be expected, it's certainly not the fault of the hotel or staff. The little coffee shop in the ally on the left going up to the main road has the best omelettes ever! All in all a good stay and staff were pleasant.

Dirty and stinky water!
The water has foul smell, it's filled with rusts! And the smell sticks to your skin and I hated it so much. I'll never recommend nor come back here! Check in at Novie's Tourist Inn instead you people, my family and I loved there.

Value for money
A very basic hotel, therefore very affordable. Aircon worked well so did the tv. Staff was friendly and helpful. Close to Corong beach for nice sunset views. Reccommended for anyone on a budget who can live with cold showers and without wifi.

Do not recommend
Horrible place would not recommend everything is in horrible condition. It seems like they didn't clean the sheets from the previous people staying. The are plenty of other places around to stay at that are slightly more expensive but definitely worth the money. I booked 3 nights here but only stayed for half a night. They also ask for a 500 peso deposit for the key

Decent considering the price
Except for a serious horde of ants marching across our room and bed this place was as decent as you could expect for the price.

Great for the rate
It was everything it claimed to be. The rate was very inexpensive and the bed and bathroom were clean. That being said, it's not the hyatt. The electricity is often off during the day but on at night, the shower had no hot water and very little pressure, and the bathroom floor was large blocks placed on dirt so there are likely ant problems during some seasons. I needed a place to sleep before my 5 day island hopping tour and it was great for that. 50php for a ride into town was well worth the savings.

Close to very nice beaches
The comfort of the room is average, wifi and electricity sometimes did not work, but this all one can expect in El Nido. I was just little bit surprised that nobody was interested to clean my room during 5 days stay (not even to take out trash). Otherwise a nice place to stay when on budget.

weird man at the reception may put you off!
There is something seriously wrong with the man at the reception; he was the only Pilipino guy I met on my trip who was not kind, not nice and not helpful at all; in fact he told lies to my friends about being a manager, and did not allow them to stay in my room (which was already paid for) whilst I had this agreed with the actually manager the night before. He was present when it was discussed. The manager is really nice and helpful but you may not have a chance to get through to her because of him! Anyway good luck if you stay there! ;) Otherwise, the place is clean and there is a beautiful beach walking distance from it; it is quite away from the town centre, where the whole party life takes place, so if you are looking for a quite place it is just right for you; could be a bit boring for solo travellers who look for companion.. that is why I moved to another hostel, was missing the happy crowds ;)))

Very very small room. Bed invaded by ants
Simply don't worth it even though the staff is very friendly. The room is very, very small. My bed was invaded by ants. They fixed the problem quickly though. The tap water stinks and stained my cloths. For backpackers on a thight budget only.

A budget hotel...great for packers and it is safe
Had a very nice stay at Dormitels, it is a budget hotel with basic amenities but not disappointing. It is on the beach front and staff members are very friendly and willing to assist.
