Have
you enjoyed my previous post about Eco Hotels? After a few
hours of posting it, I had several messages that came in
via Instagram asking me for other hotel options in Palawan that are
budget friendly and does not require thousands of pesos to spend with.
Like
I mentioned on my travel tips in going to El Nido, it's fairly easy
to look for a budget friendly hotel - all you have to do is book it ahead of
time and don't travel without any
reservations. Agoda and Booking.com has
a lot to offer but majority of them are located at the city proper which in my
own opinion is not really advisable because it gets really noisy at night.
The
good news is Eco Hotels has a sister hotel that caters to backpackers, transient
travellers and practical vacationers - and that
is Dormitels!
But Why Choose DORMITELS Over Other Hostels In El Nido, Palawan?

When I arrived in El Nido, I didn't have a hotel during my first night and mainly relied on blogs to find an accommodation. I was able to locate this 'mystery' backpacker's hotel that many have mentioned as very budget friendly, nice place, and easy to find. Not in my case unfortunately, and I ended being restless at night because of the noise of transportation and people coming in and out of their rooms at the hostel.
So my answer to my own question is pretty straight forward: Dormitels is practically cheap, quiet, AND clean. And don't get me wrong, I like mingling and socialising with people but not when I'm extremely tired and want to get a good night sleep.

Another thing is that not all 'budget-friendly' hotels in El Nido have basic facilities like Dormitels.
At Dormitels, you get to have a room where you can choose between an AC or a ceiling fan. You also get to bathe in your own bathroom (most hostels have bathrooms for sharing, and it is not very hygienic in my own opinion). And lastly, you get to watch TV at your own space.
Clean sheets with fresh towels are available upon arrival, they have similar check-in and check-out timings with Eco Hotels. They also follow the ethos of Eco Hotels so everything here is eco-friendly.


How Cheap Are The Room Rates?

Just like the room rates of Eco Hotels, room rate depends
on the seasonality. When I arrived in November, they are already on a high
season dates and the price lies between USD 10-25. The last promotion that they
have is at Php 390 (about USD 7) per room per night so might as well bookmark
their Facebook and Instagram page
for you to avail these offers.
