Guest Reviews
Keira Backpackers is nestled in a tranquil neighborhood, providing guests a serene environment away from the hustle and bustle of El Nido's main town. It is an unbeatable choice for those who appreciate a quieter, more relaxing stay while still being within walking distance of the city's vibrant center. The location, although not in the immediate downtown area, is deemed very walkable with most guests reaching the city center in about 10 to 20 minutes.
Being slightly removed from the busy areas has its perks, such as a peaceful ambiance and proximity to the beach. However, it also comes with some challenges. The route to the city can become tricky, especially after dark when the path is not well-lit and high tide can make access difficult. Guests have noted that those without a scooter or motorbike might find the commute somewhat cumbersome. Despite this, many praised the 15-minute walk to town as a cozy and enjoyable experience.
For those arriving late at night or carrying heavy bags, the location might prove inconvenient. Some reviewers mentioned that the hotel is further out, making it hard to get to, especially in adverse weather conditions or at night. Nevertheless, the quiet and relaxing setting, along with the charm of the surrounding neighborhood, often outweigh the minor inconveniences associated with the distance to downtown El Nido.

The rooms are frequently praised for their comfort and cleanliness with several guests highlighting that they are comfy, pristine and well-maintained. Many reviews mention that the air conditioning works well and the rooms are tastefully styled with the added convenience of being ready upon arrival being acknowledged.
However, the size of the rooms seems to vary greatly. While some rooms are spacious, others, particularly those on the ground floor, are noted to be quite small and dark with limited natural light. There's a consensus that the family rooms tend to be larger, which is appreciated by guests traveling with children.
Some guests have experienced issues such as a damp atmosphere, mold smells and even insects, including cockroaches and worms, which significantly detract from the overall experience. Additionally, the noise from a loud generator has been reported as a disturbance.
Despite the mentioned setbacks, the overall ambiance, described as hygienic and cozy, compensates for the shortcomings to some degree. The functional nature of the rooms suits many travelers, although basic furnishings and paper-thin walls are noted.
Overall, while Keira Backpackers has strong points in terms of comfort and cleanliness, there are notable criticisms regarding room size, odors and pests that need addressing to enhance guests' experiences.
