The location was nice, not too noisy but still very close to the center. People at reception are very nice and helpful. They can help you book different things such as ferry tickets, transportation and activities.
Bathroom was not super clean and some pipes was leaking. They provide one towel and there is a tube of shampoo in the bathroom if you don’t have anything it’s helpful. There is bathroom and toilet in your room but also some in common area if needed.
The room was ok, there is curtains to protect from light and people passing. It’s also quite easy to go on the upper bed. AC is not too strong and you can ask reception to regulate.
Globally, it’s a good hostel and for the price it really worth it.
Плюсы: заселили раньше времени,рано утром. Отличное месторасположение, до торгового центра 5м пешком минут 10, от аэропорта шла минут 20. Минусы: постель перёд моим заселением, похоже,не поменяли , на простыне и подушке волосы,полотенце коричневое. В ванной нет мыла,из крана идёт только чуть теплая вода. Одноместный номер очень маленький,спать с включенным кондиционером невозможно, дует прямо на кровать. Ресепшн как таковой отсутствует,не нашла кому озвучить все свои вопросы
Потрясающий хостел. Самый лучший из 5 в которых я жила на Филиппинах. Все свежее, чистое. Есть место на балконе сушить вещи. Есть ящики с ключами закрывать вещи. Минус был-не работала розетка.организовали мне трансфер в аэропорт-250 песо. Расположение рядом с улицами с кафе и ресторанами. Напротив кафе с пп десертами. Девочки очень любезные и милые. Полотенца есть. Фена нет.
VVictoria&JessiMy overall experience is good! I'm the type of person who prefers active travelling, so the hotel is needed literally just for sleep, shower and storing stuff.
My requirements for the hotel were good proximity to the city center and nice room with hot shower. Well, the location is truly good, it's a bit on the hill so to get to the city center you just need to come down. In the same building there is a great cafe DAYO who offer 10% discount per day for the Oceana Bay hotel's guests.
During our trip to Philippines, Coron was the last destination and the 4th hotel we stayed at, and that was the only one with some room facilities issues. When we checked-in it turned out there is no water in the shower, the staff truly tried to be helpful, the receptionist girl offered us to stay in another upgraded room before the problem will be solved. The thing is when one day later we had to return to the room the problem with the water wasn't solved, we had to contact staff all the time which for sure was absolutely inconvenient, especially when water could be cut off during taking shower. At that point nobody cared already, there were no offers to change the room or to offer us a discount. The siphon from the sink was leaking, so every time you wash your hands, the bathroom floor is immediately in water.
The AC is truly loud, but this is absolutely normal for Philippines, as well as the absence of hair dryer. Nice thing that the hotel unlimitedly provides drinking water in the hall. The hotel also offers tours, bike rent, transfer to the airport, but I'd suggest to check it out in the city first, we've found more convenient and better price offers there.
ゲゲストA wonderful hostel with an amazing shared room on the roof. the rooms and beds are clean and comfortable. The room on the roof has its own bathroom and shower. And also there are some cats there.
LLisaLPWe stayed for five nights, booking one double room and one family room. Both rooms were sufficiently furnished, and there were tables outside that we made good use of during the day. We were also offered the use of a fridge in the common area, which we really appreciated. From what I understand, only the family rooms come with water heating.
The location is very good—tucked away in a safe, lively neighbourhood and within walking distance of both NCCC Mall and SM City Puerto Princesa Mall, where there are supermarkets and plenty of food options. We were also able to walk to several places of interest in the city, including the Boardwalk, Chinatown, the Heritage Centre, and the Immaculate Conception Cathedral. There’s a laundry just across the road that charges reasonable rates.
The hosts were the best part of the stay. They were family-oriented, warm, hospitable, accommodating, and very communicative. They helped organise tours at prices better than those offered on online platforms. We had a whale of a time at Honda Bay and the Underground River—both are must-experience attractions when visiting Palawan.
Highly recommended for travellers looking for a welcoming place, great hosts, and a convenient location.
DDeeRFOur stay at this inn in Puerto Princesa truly exceeded my expectations. We arrived from a long trip, and even before we could get off the van, a staff member was already there to warmly welcome us and assist with our luggage. That small gesture immediately set the tone for the kind of service they provide—attentive, proactive, and genuinely caring.
Since it was only a short stay, I didn’t expect much at first. But the level of hospitality we experienced was nothing short of exceptional. The staff were consistently courteous, accommodating, and made sure we were comfortable throughout our stay.
It’s rare to come across a place where service feels this personal and effortless. They made us feel well taken care of from the moment we arrived until we left. I would definitely recommend this inn to anyone visiting Puerto Princesa, especially if you value warm and reliable service.
