Hop Hostel offers rooms with free WiFi with limited access in Coron, well set 300 meters from Mount Tapyas. This 2-star hostel offers a shared kitchen and a shared lounge. The accommodation provides luggage storage space for guests. Hop Hostel has a rooftop which is best for sunset viewing. Perfect in every way, can't fault it. This has to be one of the top 5 hostels I've ever stayed in in the world. You could literally have a mini holiday here and not leave. The king size beds are a first for me. Pool, beanbag area by the pool, rooftop bar, cinema room, in house restaurant (I recommend the sizzling tofu), planned activities every day, including boat trip. Free dinner sample! Thank you to all the staff, they go the extra mile to make your stay as comfortable as possible, attention to detail, spotless, even change the shower mats daily. This place is not to be missed.

Located in Puerto Princesa City, within 7.5 km of Honda Bay and 1.2 km of City Coliseum, Duck & Drift - a Sleeper Hostel - Just 1,7km from Airport provides accommodation with a terrace and free WiFi as well as free private parking for guests who drive. The property is around 3.2 km from Palawan Museum, 3.5 km from Skylight Convention Center and 3.6 km from Immaculate Conception Cathedral. The property is non-smoking and is situated 3.2 km from Mendoza Park. I loved how cute the theme was of the ducks and it having a cozy vibe. It really fits the sleeper hostel title of the place. Beds were really comfortable and a whole kitchen was mostly to myself which a lot of hostels do not have that feature. Was a nice addition.
