I went on a 13-day trip around Palawan and Coron was my first stop from Cebu. In Coron, I stayed in Dayon Hostel. I was alone for the duration of my three-night stay in the six-bed female dorm. You can choose to lock the door at night for security. I made sure that I turned off the AC every time I went out.
The restrooms are clean especially the toilets although the shower rooms need to be upgraded as some showerheads do not function that well. It will also be nice if they do a thorough cleaning of the shower rooms and the sinks as they looked dirty and unkempt.
There is a restaurant on the rooftop but the options are limited. If you exit through the back, it leads you the main road where you will find a wonderful cafe that serves good sausage meals. There are also several local options available if you want affordable options.
The price I paid was worth the quality of the stay. The hostel is known by tour operators and guides and so it was not a challenge when it was time for pick-up and drop off.
I loved the staff especially when I had to leave early in the morning to head to the port for my trip to El Nido. They arranged my transportation and made sure that I left the hostel on time.
Will I go back? Maybe not and it's not because I don't like it. It's just that I felt that my next stay should be in a private room for another worthwhile experience in Coron. But for those solo travelers on a budget, Dayon Hostel is your best bet in Coron in as far as affordable sleeping option is concerned.
We had sea view rooms. One room had enough space but awful small bathroom, the other room was super small I couldn’t open my luggage on a floor, had to put it on a bed to open.
The view is stunning, but be aware that because of the port it is noisy from the early morning and noisy in the evening due to cafes around.
In general we had a good stay, staff was helpful, breakfast was good, wi fi not strong. Sink water stinks:(
We booked all tours from the hotel reception, it was convenient and same price as everywhere, they also provided free towels for tours, you could rent a mask and a coral shoes
This hostel is right at the beach . The personnel is wonderful and very helpful . The rooms are ok but my advice would be not to have the ones with the curtains as this hostel is a party hostel and it tend to be very noisy at night .
They provide good food at a reasonable price and a free breakfast who is very good ( the pork Tocino is perfect )
They don’t provide transportation from airport to the hostel but the other way round is possible and will cost you 400 peso.
There is no hot water in the whole hostel ( not really needed for shower ) but take it into consideration is you eve need to do laundry.
At night this hostel is very lively and have a lot of activities like beer pong or quizz which makes it not hard to get on well with other customers .
Finally I will definitely recommend this hostel to those who like to party and have a great time in el nido , for families it might be too noisy .
Overall a great experience
Our 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.
