Hotel Ashoka (Authentic Indian Cuisine)

Central location Good restaurant Courteous staff

The location was perfect, and the staff were amazing! We were so close to the beach, shops, and restaurants. The hotel is just a block or two away from the nightlife scene, which meant we could sleep peacefully without hearing loud club music — a big reason why we chose this place. But if you want to go out, it’s only a 1–2 minute walk away. The owner, Ashok, was incredible — so attentive, warm, and kind. He was always available to answer our questions and made us feel truly welcome. I highly recommend this place to anyone visiting El Nido. It’s absolutely amazing!

Very good and friendly staff. They realy want your stay has to be great! My experiences in other hotels in El Nido were not so fine with staff, not friendly. I’m realy thankful that this hotel made me very welcome. I come back soon.

Incredible highly recommend

Nothing all was perfect

Good position, hot water, spacious room

Old not fancy furniture.

Awesome location literally 2 minutes walk to El nido beach, all the coffee shops, cafes, boutiques, bars, etc all around. Bed is comfy. You get toilet paper and there is shampoo and soap provided. Water is not provided in the room however you can ask the owner for water. The Owner is really nice and gave me water to brush my teeth with during my stay. There’s a generator when power goes out in the area so that’s a bonus. Also the Indian food in the restaurant below is really good. I will warn it is on the pricey side. I ordered chicken vindalo, basatmi rice and plain naan bread, and got a soda water and bill was like 1250 pesos ($18usd). All in all I would stay here again if I were to visit the area again.

Only thing I did not like is the water coming from the sink and shower. It has a bad smell and most definitely do not even brush your teeth with that water or rinse your toothbrush. Also the stairs are questionable. I slipped and fell down same kind of stairs at a different hotel so make sure to hold onto the railing so doesn’t happen to you. I was out of 5 days from it and couldn’t move so I’m warning you about the stairs be careful. Lastly, they offer van transfers to/from the airport, and offer all 4 tours A-D, but only accept cash or gcash. Also prices are very high for the restaurant for budget.

Perfect location and Bathroom always clean

Saw a rat inside The last night

Owner was very helpful, food in the restaurant very tasty. Room basic and very comfortable, everything you need to use as a base and explore the El Nido area
