Ideally located in the centre of Coron, Balai Evelyn offers air-conditioned rooms with free WiFi and free private parking. Ideally situated in the Coron Town Proper district, this hostel is set 5.2 km from Maquinit Hot Spring. The accommodation features a shared kitchen and a shared lounge for guests. 10/10 would recommend Balai Evelyn. It exceeded my expectations given the affordable price of their rooms. You would almost have everything you need; they have shared kitchen so we were able to cook some meals instead of going out and also a living space where you can watch tv and have karaoke. Ms honey also got out of her way to help our family with bookings and transportation. Shoutout to the lovely hosts for their hospitality and our comfortable stay!

Situated within 4.3 km of Maquinit Hot Spring and less than 1 km of Coron Public Market, Kaiz Hostel features rooms with air conditioning and a shared bathroom in Coron. Attractively situated in the Coron Town Proper district, this hostel is located 1.7 km from Mount Tapyas. The property is 400 metres from the city centre and 2.6 km from Dicanituan Beach. Everything was great. Despite being 12 people in the room, it was very quiet and we had enough space for everything. There are big lockers under the bed, free coffee and water, 2 showers+2 toilets which was enough. The family was very helpful, friendly and empathetic. They kept my bag in their house for the whole day while I was gone for a day trip, and helped with booking the tour. I'd highly recommend if you want to sleep during the night.
