    Humidity in the room -- our stay was during the start of the rainy season.

    Amazing hospitality by Elmo! We immediately felt welcomed. He also has a small store with items useful during island hopping, and drinks.

    Elmo and his family were so kind, and I had such a nice stay with them--almost two weeks. My room was very cozy--great AC, comfy bed--and I looked forward to curling up there every night after a nice cool shower. Breakfasts were very tasty, and varied every day. Elmo was also really helpful in getting me trike rides when I needed them. Highly recommended for a restful and affordable stay.

    Location is a bit of a further walk from the main strip than we expected.

    Breakfast was great! Elmo is very friendly and helped organize our ride to Puerto princessa. AC worked great.

    We didnt spend more time there, it was too short lived

    Everything was fabulous, the bed was comfy, breakfast delicious, and room was cozy. Elmo was a super gracious and kind host who did the utmost. He even parked crooked to save us a parking space when we came in late.

    Bathroom can be a bit cramped and the wifi is unreliable if the hallway doors are closed. Otherwise, good for ite price.

    The host was very kind and knowledgeable. The place is located right smack in front of the port area, which means relatively easy access to popular spots like Sirena St., and the docks (for island hopping). The free breakfast was also light and delicious. Just don't expect a 5-star hotel dining experience-It is your typical pinoy fare of silog with refreshing island tropical fruits. Loved everything and would not hesitate to stay here again.

    Elmo and his family are truly hospitable. Our daily breakfasts were incredible, and during our stay we chatted with them and learned a bit about Filipino culture. We loved staying in a more local part of town and were very comfortable in our room.

    Nothing.

    Excellent location. Close to the center and far from the noise. It is a walking distance to the harbor and to the town square district . The facility was very clean and smelled good. We stayed here because we read positive reviews about the owner and they were all true. The owner, Elmo, made our stay very pleasant he rented us one of his motorbikes, helped us with the island hopping tours bookings, made us delicious breakfast, he was very helpful and kind he helped us with practically everything and he made sure we felt like home. I will be back here next time I’m in Philippines, until next time Elmo.

    It would’ve been nice to have hot water for a shower. I believe they’re getting that sorted soon however.

    Elmo and his wife are some of the loveliest people you’ll ever meet. He made us feel so welcome and we really enjoyed chatting with him. He made breakfast for us early to accommodate our boat trip and it was delicious. The room was also lovely and clean!
