💯% would stay again! If you need a 5 star experience don't even think about this place as it's extremely basic, but it was perfect for what I was looking for, it had clean sheets and a hot shower, the price was low and right next to the center of town. Would recommend.

Comfortable bed and pillows. The place is actually tucked away, in a nice garden setting, right in the middle of everything. Very quiet considering the location. Staff were more than accommodating.

Even the driver had difficulty finding this place. Look for a small sign on a pole and walk down a laneway. Well located within walking distance to everything. Quiet. Basic accommodation. Friendly staff.

Quiet stay in the secret garden

The stay here was lovely, and it is close to the town square and the beach. I slept like a queen with black out curtains, and ac after a warm shower. Thank you for the hospitality.

Hotel was very pretty, like the name says is well hidden but quiet pretty, rooms was very basic, no tv, quite small but it was ok as we was only staying there for 3 nights. Is very near the main restaurants and everything else which was nice, the beach was only 5 mins away if not less. Staff were really nice and welcoming.

The stay was nice for the price you are paying. My room kinda had a musty and damp smell to it and they only provide sheets no blankets. But at 20 dollars a night you cant really complain. The staff were friendly and helpful with tours ect. If your looking for a buget room and dont have high expectations i would definitely suggest it.

We loved our stay at Hidden Garden Pension in El Nido. The price was unbeatable, and even though it is right on the main street, it is tucked away and quiet at night. The garden is a lovely amenity and much needed in what feels like a concrete jungle in that area of El Nido. We stayed in Room No. 1, which is a bit larger than the others. The room is very basic but extremely clean. The air conditioning worked great throughout our stay, and we had hot water. I also loved that they provided complimentary filtered water so we could refill our water bottles every day, helping reduce plastic waste in El Nido, which sadly already has a lot of it. There is a great coffee shop right across the street with delicious breakfast options. The staff were very accommodating, and we were able to bring our rental motorcycles in every day. This was a great choice as a home base for us, as we spent our days exploring the north of Palawan and its beaches by motorcycle. It was really nice to come back at night to a clean, cool room within walking distance of all the restaurant and bar options in El Nido.

Sameh

The entrance to this pension is a terrible narrow unpaved alley with no enough light or signs at night, so getting in and out at night time is so unpleasant , we visted the pension to check in but we had to cancel our reservation for two nights for no refund because of that. If you are on a tight budget this place is still a good choice.

MUY AGRADABLE Y BUENA SITUACIÓN

Habitación sencilla y pequeña, pero cómoda y limpia. Lo único negativo es que viven las familias dueñas y tienen muchos niños pequeños que te despiertan muy temprano (sobre las 6 am)
