Keen's Place

When we arrived, the front desk staff informed us that, due to a staffing shortage, the hotel locks its doors at 22:00—essentially a curfew, which felt absurd. We refused, finding this policy completely unacceptable. The staff then explained that they used to leave the back gate open, but stopped after a guest repeatedly brought “lady friends” at night (yes, really). After some reluctance, they agreed to unlock the back gate for us and showed us to our room. The room was very small for the price, with mediocre cleanliness and absolutely no amenities—no soap, no towels, nothing. Needless to say, we would never recommend staying here. The Philippines has wonderful people and fantastic places to visit, but this overpriced hotel is not one of them. If they try to impose a curfew, just refuse. There are far better options out there!

This hotel is in a great location of Puerto Princesa. It's on a quiet street and within walking distance to everything you need. And if you need a trike to go somewhere further it will cost you no more than 50 pesos. The hotel can also arrange all trips for you. For a great price. Like El Nido or anywhere else on the island. I stayed here for quite sometime since I had no time limit to my time in Palawan. And everything was great. The cleaning lady Chona is really cool and has very good english skills. I've watched her clean and she doesn't cut corners. She gets in there and scrubs everytime. I will come back to Palawan and I will stay at this hotel again. You can go wrong with the location and amenities. WiFi worked great as well and that is a huge deal for most of us foreigners these days. Book your stay here, you won't regret it!
