Awesome

Why pay more for a hotel? Clean, great water pressure for the shower, friendly service. Regarding the noise from the train line, it's not as bad as other reviews say. Just bring ear plugs if you are worried :)! Highly recommended!

You get what you pay for

Room had not been properly cleaned: under the bed hadn’t been swept, and there was mould in the bathroom from consistent poor cleaning. Bed was terribly uncomfortable with the worst pillows I’d ever slept on. The room was loud, all night you can hear the train nearby, as well as people walking down the hallway. The entire hotel also has a weird smell. Staff were nice.

Room was small but clean and secure. Location is great for the price, one stop by train from sydney central. Of our 3 night stay, 2 nights good, but one night very noisy due to rowdy guests in next room.

Manager was friendly on arrival and the room was clean neat and tidy but floors were polished concrete and room was tiny with no coffee or tea making facilities. Room was very noisy from trains running all night and other guests coming in during the night so unable to get any sleep.

Had an overall great stay in the El Nido accommodation. Please note that you can hear the train go by - it’s not too loud and that you can hear other visitors outside the room quite clearly so just be mindful of that with noise control. Besides this, hotel staff were friendly and responsive. Would recommend this accomodation.

The hotel itself is quite nice, the size of the rooms are what you pay for. There is a train track right next to the hotel, which can be noise when in your room, but it is not worth worrying about.
