Boracay has always been on top of the list for places where tourists want to be. Many people show love and interest in having Boracay as a destination on whatever vacation they take, especially on summer vacation. Truly, the place is really great to experience, as I have already been here quite several times. No matter if it is a leisure or business trip, you will surely enjoy the clear water and the powdery white sand.
As a tourist, if you are looking for a place to stay where you can be able to save and still enjoy the beauty of the island, I created a list of hostels or hotels for you. These are some of the hotels or hostels that I tried and I can recommend.
Affordable and reasonable for the price. Check it out.
- Hostel Avenue: This establishment is really new and is a few steps to the beach. They only have the capsule-inspired beds where you can mingle with the other guests if you want to. They also have a rooftop if you are tired of walking and want to stay and sit down while watching the beach.
- Rate : 350 – 500 (depends on the season)
2. Boracay Backpacker Hostel—this is not a new hostel that is really impressive with the service that they have. They have multiple room types from which you can choose. It’s not a beachfront hotel, but it’s really close to one.
- Rate : 400 – 700
3. Boracay Box and Ladder: It is just beside the main road of Station 2 and near to the D’Mall entrance. This capsule-style hostel has very comfortable beds and is easy to find. They have breakfast included. The beach is only a minute’s walk away.
- Rate : 400 – 600 (depends on the season)
4. MNL Hostel: It’s quite far from the white sand beach of Station 2 but near to the Bulabog beach. The staff are really great. They have daily room service that makes you feel more comfortable and neat. They have an American breakfast that you can make your own and it’s unlimited-it’s the best! They also have a rooftop where you can relax at night. They have multiple room types from which you can choose.
- Rate: 350 – 600
5. W Hostel—it is an affordable hostel where you will be intimidated by the first look of the establishment. At first glance, you will think that it’s an expensive hostel, but it’s not. They have multiple rooms that you can choose from. The best thing about this hotel is that they have a swimming pool on the rooftop. It is a few minutes’ walk to the white sands of station 2.
- Rate: 400 – 700
