Hutch Lodge

Clean, good location and great staff. We had incredible time.

The location is far from time square

The operators were very nice, great service and location! Easy access to everything, supermarket, the beach, motorbike rental on site and airport pickup/drop off service at a fair price. The place was lovely, would definitely stay again if we ever come back to El Nido!? Nothing!

All of the staff were friendly and helpful. We got sick from the drinking water. The water container in the room was dirty inside, which we could not see until it was almost empty. Other people in the hotel also got sick. We missed almost 2 full days of vacation because of this lack of hygiene. I would suggest buying your own drinking water if you stay here.

Great place and great service

The hotel is located a few minutes from downtown, but the way there is beautiful and it's one of the few places in which you can get a good sleep. The bed and room where perfect, and the owners are extremely helpful!

The rooms are beautifully decorated, with very comfortable beds and lovely bathrooms. There is complimentary hot and cold water, as well as tea and coffee available at the hotel. Guests can also use the microwave and cutlery, which is very convenient. Just a short walk away, you’ll find charming local restaurants and shops. After our daily trips, it was wonderful to return to this peaceful and quiet area. It’s the perfect place to stay away from the noise of the town center. The roosters in the morning were absolutely adorable, adding to the local charm. We also loved the sweet cat and dog at the property — they made the place feel even more like home. Absolutely wonderful! We would happily stay here again. THANK YOU ???

Clean, quiet and comfortable guest house with a lovely family running it. Outside of the El Nido tourist ghetto and close to a great restaurant Alimos for breakfast and dinner. El Nido town is over touristed and pretty horrible so probably best to limit time there, the rest of Palawan is beautiful though.

Staff was fantastic. Helped with booking and transportation. easy walk to main town area. facility was ok for a beach area. great value. small area for more than a few days. sliding glass door with no real locking mechanism. bed was very soft and no support.

We stayed here for a week and couldn’t recommend it enough! The staff and family who run the accom were super accommodating, the bedroom was clean and spacious, had AC and warm working shower and just made our stay memorable. It was a bit of a walk maybe 10 - 15min walking but there is plenty of tricycles and it’s a beautiful quiet area. -

The location is excellent — within walking distance of El Nido town, yet in a quiet, rural area. The Wi-Fi was strong and stable. Just a small thing - there are no screens on the windows, so it’s not possible to leave the windows or door open for fresh air without worrying about mosquitoes or other animals getting in.

The staff was so friendly and helpful in recommending daily activities and restaurants in the area. We booked a scooter from the hotel to easily get around on the island. Slightly out of the main town, but made it nice and quiet for sleeping!

No wifi for the whole week due to storms

Owner and staff are very helpful and friendly during our stay. The location is good if you want to be a quieter part of El Nido, and despite access slightly more difficult, the lodge has a tricycle that can help with luggage transport from the town. Overall, the accommodations were simple but pleasant and the price was very affordable. The location is a bit removed from the town center so a bit walking should be accounted for.

If you're looking for a nice quiet stay just a 15-minute walk (or 5 min tuk tuk) outside of El Nido, this would be the place. The owners and staff are so kind and accommodating and the lodge is tucked away in a quiet local neighborhood. The room was comfortable and very clean with filtered water available in the room and lobby. Strong wifi was also available. Though there is no breakfast served, an absolutely fabulous restaurant, Alimos Diner, just a 2min walk away is available for breakfast, lunch and dinner. NikiBaker is also a great option in town. The accommodations are well appointed and the property is well-maintained especially for the price. Highly recommended! We were there during a strong typhoon and afterwards, hot water for the shower didn't work and there were some brief electrical blackouts, which I think were affected by the storm. Just a note to the property to see if they can get the hot water working if it persists. (That being said, I felt very lucky to be at this property during the storm as its tucked away and received minimal damage in comparison to surrounding areas.)

There's no soundproofing between the rooms or the outside, but I sleep with earplugs and I slept well even though I'm a very light sleeper ??

The air conditioning worked well and there was even a hair dryer available, which is often overlooked in other places. I also found the working table very convenient, especially since the internet signal was strong and reliable—great for remote work or keeping in touch. Another plus: the generator kicks in quickly during power outages, so there’s minimal disruption. A big thank you as well to the staff for keeping my phone charger safe—I accidentally left it behind, and they returned it to me when I came back two days later. That kind of honesty and care is truly appreciated! And a bonus for animal lovers: they have a very cute cat and dog on the property that added to the cozy and friendly atmosphere. If I had to mention any downsides, it would be the water pressure, which could be improved, and the road leading to the property could use better lighting, as some areas are quite dark at night. Overall, these are minor issues compared to the great experience I had. So far, so good—and definitely highly recommended!

Employees were so nice and helpful

If you’re looking for a place that just gets it right, this hotel delivers. It’s tucked in a quiet neighborhood where you can actually hear yourself think, yet still feels connected. The rooms are clean, modern, and built for comfort—think reliable WiFi, cozy bed, no weird smells. What really seals it is the staff: friendly, helpful, and ready to sort you out without hovering. Solid spot, no drama.

Very kind people at the front desk. Free rides to town centre. Comfy bed with GREAT AC.
