Giecel Pension

Reasonable location. Decently comfortable room. Wi-Fi in our room was intermittent at best. With my newer Samsung tablet and iPhone 15 Pro, I was not able to use the Internet in our room at all. There were two Wi-Fi channels that I could see clearly with my phone at essentially all times, but they did not have the password for them as they were had forgotten them, and were uninterested in trying to resolve the problem, which would've been quite simple for a Computer guy. Furthermore, it really rubbed us the wrong way and got the entire stay off with a bad feeling, when we asked if we could get into the room about an hour early, noting that the room was empty and ready, and were told we needed to pay 400 pesos per hour for that. I've never had such a memorable payment request before, and certainly not with such an exorbitant price relative to the 2500 pesos that we were paying per night to stay there (so about 100 pesos per hour); it got us going with a bad feeling. Also, we had no hot water. Lastly, I am allergic to small plastic bottles, a chemical in the plastic, and so I can only drink service water from the big solid plastic bottles. I had asked them when we first checked in if they had any such water and was told No and that I needed to buy small bottles from them, but there was actually such a water dispenser in the very next room that we accessed commonly during meal hours, etc.

It was expensive for what it was..

Breakfast was delicious and the location was great because its within the town proper. Walking Distance to most restaurants and coffee shops. The Bed was comfortable. The toilet and bathroom is big with hot shower. The Door Key Card is a plus. :) The bed has stain when the bed cover was accidentally removed. Just need to clean it. :)

It was accessible. The service. Me and my partner planned to spend our New Year there at El Nido. We booked the room and it was confirmed and I even had a conversation with one of their FO re what time we will be arriving from the airport which is 11pm, just an hour before new year. Our booking was paid ahead. We were surprised upon arriving that our reservation was being cancelled last minute wherein we are already there at 10:50PM. We were even lied that it was because the room had trouble with its water supply. Considering the time being I said it’s fine they can just have it fixed tomorrow since we are catching up to attend a reservation which is a new year midnight dinner. That’s when they started to offer that they’ll just find other hotel for us. I informed them that we already don’t have anytime for that and why didn’t they informed ahead they even tried to reason out that they was not able to inform because they were too busy that day. They have learned about the situation quite earlier. If they have just informed us ahead then at least we were able to book las minute to other hotels prior our arrival. To sum up things, they admit that actually they have given the room to another guest and sadly I was the one to booked it first than that other guest. We were not able to attend the new year dinner we supposed to have since it’s already passed midnight that we had settled to another hotel. We are very much disappointed. A not so HAPPY New Year for us.

Looks decent outside, but not well kept inside. The room esthetics is not good- the wall paint is not updated: looks gross, no table/chair (but we requested), no TV, no internet in the room, no hot shower, no toilet paper holder (broken), room lighting is poor.

Nice Staff, bed, closet, room size There is no wifi on 1st floor. Staff put a bird on a chain and was laughing and having fun as if it was a kite.

This location is perfect. You will be right across the street from a 24/7 bakery. There was a really good restaurant for breakfast close by. I think it was called Pong's Pares El Nido. We were close to enough to the beach, but not so close that we heard all the road noise from that area. The first room we were in had some issues with the Air conditioner, but management switched us to another room that had a better A/C. Like most places, the wifi signal has a hard time getting through the thick cement walls.

the staff and services nothing, i loved the property. they are so accomodating.
