You get what you pay for. Basically a bed and bathroom. Breakfast is the same. Rice, egg, and a couple spoonfuls of your choice of meat.....its clean, and there's great dining in the immediate vicinity. I have no complaints.

Great budget hotel in heart of Coron
Great location in the center nearby to restaurants, the night market, and the Coron sign hike. Free breakfast plate every morning. Wifi only available in attached cafe restaurant/lobby. Hotel staff was very friendly and accommodating, helped call tour office and arrange for airport shuttle. Room has AC.

Cheap, clean hotel, close to everything.
Nice little place, super friendly staff, hot water was broken when we arrived, but they fixed it right away. Good breakfast, it’s downtown, you can walk everywhere, 5 minutes walk to the boat tours. Not much around the city, but the boat tours are why you come to Coron, the islands is most spectacular places to see. 5 minutes on tricycle to the port, to get the ferry to El Nido. I would definitely stay here again. contact Ricky Mark on his Instagram @RickyCoron for super cheap private tour.

Front desk staff is super helpful
The Coron Ecolodge is a budget hotel in the center of the continuously constructed, mostly unfinished and very busy small village of Coron (a beautiful place to dive wrecks, visit remote islands, track and enjoy nature). The key activity here is wreck diving and island hopping. The really good news is, that staff is super helpful and kind. It has a small but good restaurant with limited number of dishes, nevertheless clean and safe to eat (well tested). The free breakfast is good, they have several choices and they ask you the previous evening what your choice is for the following morning. Suggest you also add a time, like 6.30 am, so that it comes out warm and fresh from the kitchen. Front desk staff is super helpful, they will get you onto wi-fi, which is good once working (!); best in the opposite small restaurant (which also belongs to Ecolodge). Secret: if wi-fi still does not work, ask the front desk ladies to reboot the router (just unplug and plug in the power supply), wait 3 mins, and then try the password again. That should work. The surrounding area is a bit run-down, full of unfinished construction, nevertheless all safe even in the evening. There is usually loud music coming from neighboring restaurants until about 10 pm, but sometimes until later. The music is good, but a bit too loud. (You can fall asleep with your noise cancellation headphones and then later at night take it off... it works!) Suggest you purchase all your ferry, tour, etc. tickets here.

Never book!
I got there only to be told that I didn’t have any reservations with them! I booked and paid through Expedia, w/c up to this time haven’t worked on my refunds! None of the hotel staff ever tried to help w/ the situation. All they kept on saying was that I didn’t have reservations w/ them!

Clean, Safe, and Air Conditioned
This hotel was good. Fair price, air conditioning that worked. A nice clean and safe place to sleep. No frills, but we had a wonderful stay. Free breakfast every morning was pretty good as well. The one con was that the wifi didn't work the whole time we were there, so we had to go across the street to use theirs.

Don't stay here
Can't sleep here. That is the biggest problem. It's Too loud. Hotel location is the worst. High traffic area and hotel lobby music is turned on way too early waking up guest. Can't shower here. Our rooms shower head was spraying everywhere resulting in a constantly wet bathroom floor. The price is not cheap enough for the quality. Should be cheaper if they offer that type of disappointment.

Short trip
We had a nice stay at the Eco lodge. It's very close walking distance to everything in the town, it was nice and clean but basic. Staff were helpful and breakfast was basic but good. Only complaint is we were next door the the reception/restaurant area and they started playing music at 5.30am so not the quietest spot.

This is for sure a budget hotel. Location is good, staff are friendly and helpful, but rooms are very cramped, wifi non existent, and the first room we checked into there stunk ferociously.

Good hotel in the centre of Coron
Eight nights stay. Hotel is located conveniently in the heart of Coron. Only a few walking minutes to the market, shops, etc. Shuttle from Busuanga airport was reasonably priced. Mid-range, basic cozy accomodation with friendly & helpful staff from security, concierge to maintenance. Sister hotel across the street and next to it ie. Treetop which is the newest of 3. Ecolodge included good breakfast. Coffee, tea & water available all day/night. Two storey hotel with 2 twin beds, hot water, older tube tv in room but we're out all day. Coron's underwater was the greatest, took Highlights Tour via hotel. Loved that hotel was close to everything, walking distance to Lolo Nonoys turo turo, Mt Tapyas, Sea Dive, market, etc. Best Ribs at Santinos should not be missed, only a trike ride away. Overall, hotel was great and will recommend. Will def return to Coron!

The hotel is new. The rooms are clean and confortable. The service is excellent. The free breakfast as well. It is located in the center of Coron town. It is the perfect hotel between backpacker hostel and luxury hotel or resort. Very good quality / price rate.

Nettes Hotel im Zentrum von Coron
Das Hotel macht einen gepflegten Eindruck. Zum Glück gab es keinen Lärm vom Hotel gegenüber, wie das in anderen Bewertungen zu lesen war, ich habe 5 Nächte sehr gut geschlafen. Die Klimaanlage wird etwas laut, wenn man sie auf max. stellt. Da das aber im März jedenfalls nicht notwendig ist war auch das kein Problem.

期待していなかったけど、ほぼ最高のホテルでした
コロン島アイランドホッピングツアー参加の起点としてコロン島に4日間滞在。ホテル探しをする時間があまりなかったため、検索時にあまり悪い評判が立っていなかったことと料金からこのホテルを決定しました。ですが、到着数日前のピックアップ確認連絡、到着後の気持ちの良い対応、ホテル内および室内の綺麗さに感銘を受けました。文句なしに合格点です。もちろん最高級ホテルと比べれば見劣りするところも多いのでしょうが、この料金でこれだけの質を担保してくれれば私には十分です。コーヒーが飲み放題(但しセルフサービス)なのも高評価です。難点を言えば、ホテルスタッフの対応ですね。すごい親切でこちらまで笑顔になるようなスタッフたちなのですが、すべてが遅くて若干不正確です笑。でもこれはこのホテルのスタッフというより、コロン島の他の人々(アイランドホッピング催行会社、レストラン等)からも同様の印象を受けましたので、フィリピンの田舎に来たのだと思えば余裕をもって接することができると思います。その点で100点満点中95点のホテルかと採点しました。もう1度泊まりたいレベルのホテルです。
