Hostels in Coron | Best Coron Accommodation
The Philippines is a pretty amazing place for backpackers and budget travelers, and Coron has some AMAZING hostels with great vibes, comfy beds, and unbeatable prices. Here are a few of my top hostel recommendations for Coron!
Sea Horse Guest House
Overall Best Hostel in Coron | Backpacker Accommodation
The Sea Horse Guest House was definitely the best value for money in a hostel that I experienced during my time traveling through the Philippines! The beds and pillows are super comfortable, there is a bathroom in each of the room, and each “dorm bed” is actually a private room with just 2 bunk beds.
The place is perfectly located right in the center of town, and for prices at around $11-$13 per bed, you can’t complain at all. As an added bonus, breakfast is included! The wifi connection does not work too strongly in the rooms but works just fine on the balcony that has incredible views of the city!
