  • CategoryMid Range
  • Rating★ 4.2

Spin Designer Hostel sits on Calle Real in El Nido town, a short walk from the town's main square and the beach where boats depart for Bacuit Bay island-hopping tours. The hostel is built around a design-forward concept, with exposed concrete, industrial lighting, and curated furniture that set it apart from El Nido's more basic backpacker guesthouses. Accommodation mixes shared dorms with capsule-style bunks and privacy curtains alongside private double and twin rooms, all air-conditioned.

Stylish hostel with private rooms and dorms featuring modern design, rooftop bar, swimming pool, and social atmosphere. Great value accommodation in El Nido town with tour booking services.

Spin Designer Hostel sits on Calle Real in El Nido town, a short walk from the town's main square and the beach where boats depart for Bacuit Bay island-hopping tours. The hostel is built around a design-forward concept, with exposed concrete, industrial lighting, and curated furniture that set it apart from El Nido's more basic backpacker guesthouses. Accommodation mixes shared dorms with capsule-style bunks and privacy curtains alongside private double and twin rooms, all air-conditioned. The rooftop bar is the property's centrepiece, combining a small plunge pool with sunset views over the town and surrounding limestone karsts, and doubles as the main social space in the evenings. A ground-floor restaurant serves breakfast and casual all-day meals, and the tour desk books the standard El Nido island-hopping tours (A, B, C, and D routes) as well as van and boat transfers onward to Coron or Puerto Princesa. There is no spa or fitness centre, reflecting the hostel's compact town-centre footprint. Service is relaxed and social, aimed at travelers who want a stylish, well-located base for exploring Bacuit Bay without paying resort prices. Staff double as informal trip planners, helping guests string together diving, island-hopping, and onward Palawan travel around the town's limited transport schedules.
