Guest Reviews
- Naichi (10/5): - 服務很好,房間很乾淨,有很棒的空間
- LaReina (8/5): - It's dated and modest. However, this is what we were looking for during our short stay. It's recommended for long periods of stay as well. Instant coffee and water is available in the lounge. The staff is very helpful. I'm friendly and accommodating.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Good location with a reasonable price - Comfortable and good for Japanese guests
- Junichi (8/5): - 日本人スタッフがいたので、パラオ初めてで、いろいろ情報を聞けて良かったです。
- TAKASHI (10/5): - 日本人スタッフがいて
お店の予約や観光の提案など色々相談にのっていただけました。
一人たびのダイビング目的でしたが、安心して快適に過ごせました
- Takahiro (8/5): - ダイビングで5泊宿泊させていただきました。レストランやスーパマーケットのエリアまでは片道徒歩10分弱ですが、朝から夕方までダイビングで毎日外出しているので不便さはありません。日本人スタッフが大方の時間いらっしゃるのでいろいろな相談も楽です。1階の部屋はフロント横なので、とてもラクでした。
- Verified traveler (10/5): ダウンタウンからはちょっと離れてるけどリーズナブルできれいな宿。 - ダウンタウンからは少し離れていますが歩けない距離でもないし、通りから離れているので静かで、駐車スペースも余裕があります。ほぼほぼ頼み事も日本語で出来たので急な旅行には好都合でした。長期滞在すると近所のレストランは行き尽くしてしまうかなぁ、ってとこです。
- Jacob (6/5): - Don't like the room but convenient for a night
- Rudolf (10/5): - Das Preisleistungsverhältnis stimmt. Es ist ein kleines in einer Sackgasse gelegenes Motel in ruhiger Lage. Die Zimmer sind sehr sauber. Die Klimaanlage hört man in den Zimmern nicht. Ich bin jetzt das 11. Mal in diesen Motel und fühle mich dort sehr wohl und würde dort immer wieder übernachten. Es ist besonders führ Singelreisende eine optimale Wahl.
- NOBUYOSHI (10/5): - ベットメーキングが良かった、
- NAOKI (10/5): - 対応を良くして頂いて気持ちよく過ごせました。
日本人スタッフがいらっしゃるので
初めてのパラオにもオススメです。
- OBORI (10/5): - スタッフさんが日本の方なので親切丁寧におすすめのお店やツアーを紹介してくれます。色々話すと現地の事も教えてくれます。個人的には1階の共有スペースに漫画や本が沢山ありますので、コーヒーを飲みながらリラックスさせて頂きました。
共有スペースにはウォーターサーバーとコーヒーがおいてあり自由に飲むことが出来ます。
- Junko (10/5): - スタッフさん達は優しくてとても良いです。
- yusuke (8/5): - キッチンとランドロマットが有り、非常に便利でした。
- Timothy (10/5): - The DW motel is conveniently located on the Main Street in downtown Koror. It is a no-frills, economy hotel in a convenient lopcation, and as long as you are not looking for resort amenities (and price!), this place is very good. The staff is friendly and helpful, and very good responding to inquiries. We were looking for a convenient, inexpensive, place to catch some sleep while waiting for a midnight flight home, and this place filled that role perfectly.
- Verified traveler (4/5): ちょっと残念 - ただノンビリしたくてパラオに行った。
ツアーに申し込まなかったからかフロントの日本人の愛想が悪かった。
掃除をしてくれたパラオ人はいつも笑顔で挨拶してくれたのに・・・。
- Verified traveler (10/5): - ツアーがキャンセルになった時のマンガがあるので快適に時間が過ごせる。
ホテルのWi-Fiがよい。
日本人スタッフと仲良くなると面白い。
- Verified traveler (10/5): - 簡單清潔舒適的小旅館,附近餐廳超市約步行10分鐘可到。
- TAKAAKI (8/5): - スタッフがみな親切でよかったです。
- Verified traveler (10/5): - There is a small kitchen and washing area for diving equipment.
I very appreciate them.
- TERUMI (10/5): パラオに行ったらDW! - メインの通りから少し入ったところにあるので、静かに落ち着いて過ごせました。スタッフの皆さん、とっても良い方です。和みます。お部屋は清潔、シャワーは温水、水圧バッチリ。ロビーには本が沢山!空いた時間に、まったり読書!6泊しましたが、とっても居心地が良かったです。リピートしたいホテルです。
- Verified traveler (10/5): ダイビング目的の旅行に最適な宿 - 清潔で、こじんまりしていて、リラックスできる宿です。
ダイビング器材の洗い場と干し場、ロビーの無料の水、共用キッチンがあるのが助かりました。
客室内にもハンガーはたくさんあり、小さいタオル干しもあります。
ロビーでは缶ビールやジュースも販売してます。地ビールのレッドルースターもありました。レッドルースターは近所の商店では売っていなく、ハワイ銀行横のPaylessMarketまで行かないと手に入りませんでした。
ホテルスタッフも親切で素晴らしい宿だと思います。
レンタサイクルは現在貸出しを中止してるそうなので、ぜひ再開して頂けたらと思います。
- Verified traveler (10/5): - とにかく清潔でした!日本人スタッフさんも現地スタッフさんも親切。帰りの飛行機が早朝便だったにもら関わらずフロントに出てきてくれて、送迎車が来るまで待っていてくれました。
日本人スタッフさんは色んな質問に答えてくれますし、レストランの予約などは無料で行ってくれます。
建物自体は古さが多少ありますが、館内は清潔ですし、キッキン、ロビーも快適です。
多少Wi-Fiが遅く感じましたか、最近までネットが通じなかった事を考慮すればストレスを感じることはありません。
ホテル近くにはミニマートがあり食事に困ることもないです。有名なハンバーガー屋さんにも徒歩5分程で行けますよ!
- Shih Ting (10/5): 不錯的平價乾淨住宿 - 雖然沒有什麼裝潢 但是店家的親切程度和 房間乾淨程度讓人感覺很溫馨很有家的感覺
- TAKEHIKO (10/5): - 各階に共用テラスがあり、他の宿泊者との会話も弾みます。客の8割位がダイバーかな?部屋に戻ってシャワーを浴びてビールを一緒に飲んだり、一人旅でも寂しいことはありません。自分が泊まったのは3階でしたが、やはり1、2階の方が楽かも。部屋の作りが違うかもしれないので、よく聞いてリクエストすると良いでしょう。大通りを渡るとすぐミニストアーがありますが、街までは遠いのでチョット不便かな?自分はダイビングの帰りにスーパーに寄ってもらって買い物をしていましたが。キッチンは設備や道具が充実していて、何でも作れます。長期滞在やグループには、いい宿かと思います。スタッフはフレンドリーで日本人もいるので、安心です。
- Verified traveler (8/5): - ベットメイキングでは、毎回タオルを動物の形にしユーモアたっぷりで私たちを迎えてくださりました。レストランやタクシーの予約なども快く引き受けてくださったので大変助かりました。
- Barnaby (8/5): Great budget motel - Staffs were very helpful, just keep in mind that there are things that they cannot do when the manager is not around, like restocking your favourite beer. There is not much to this motel, which is just fine when you have other priority, like scuba diving. Actually the whole Palau has very little to offer other than scuba diving and related water activities, you'll notice the moment you landed: an airport without air-conditioning.
The location is just a bit west to the main strip, so it is quiet. Free filtered water and cooking facilities are provided if you like to take care of yourself. The staffs keep the place clean, but creatures like ants are unavoidable, if you have food in your room, keep them locked and sealed. Wi-fi is inconsistent, at least on the 3rd floor where I stayed.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - 清潔感があってよかった
- Verified traveler (10/5): - 価格と質から考えるととても満足である。ダイビングが目的なのでここで十分満足できるホテルである。日本人が常駐なので安心。テレビ・電話・エレベーターは無いが、キッチン・食器・コインランドリー・器材干し場・ベランダがあり便利。スーパーマーケット、レストランが徒歩7分以内にあり便利。次回も宿泊すると思う。
- ニコ (10/5): ダイビングに利用してます - 手頃な値段で快適に過ごせるのでダイビング旅行に何度も利用しています。
ダイビング器材用の干し場があったり、コインランドリーがあるのが気に入っています。
部屋でのWiFiが無料で使用できるようになってより便利になりました。
- 60代男性一人旅 (8/5): 廉価ですがおすすめのホテルです - 全体的には質素なホテルですが、清潔な部屋とフレンドリーな従業員がgood!です。フロントの方には、パラオについての質問、ツアーやタクシーの手配など、いろいろとお世話になりました。あと、セパレートのエアコンなのでうるさくなく(パラオでは一般的らしい)、暑い夜も快適に過ごせました。おすすめのホテルです。
- cantikimi (6/5): リーズナブル - 宿泊代金が高騰しているコロールのホテルの中で、財布に優しいので選んだ。
私が泊まった1階の部屋は、暗くて、古いホテルにありがちな臭い(カビ系?)が若干気になったが、クリーニングは行き届いている。ダイビング器材の洗える大きな水槽や、陰干しできるスペースがあるのはダイバー的にはありがたい。また、エクスペディア等のホテル予約サイトで予約をとっても、ホテルの公式サイトの日本語フォームで送迎の依頼や問い合わせができるのもありがたいし、日本人スタッフの方の回答が迅速なのも◎! 予算をおさえたいtおひとりさまダイバーむけ。
- SIM LAN (8/5): Good for budget traveller - Location is convenient and quiet, room is very clean. Wifi at lobby area.
- かねこ (10/5): 文句ないです - 部屋は清潔で広く、従業員さんも親切です。
メインストリートにも接していて、主な施設にも徒歩で行けます。
6000円代でこれはすごいと思います。
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Preiswertes und gutes Hotel in Palau. Sehr sauber, aber kleine Zimmer.
- ダイビング大好き夫婦 (10/5): 清潔で静かで落ち着く
- 夫婦でダイビング目的で宿泊した。時期にもよると思うが、静かで安心して宿泊でき価格と質のバランスも良く満足であった。ダイビングショップにも徒歩で行ける距離であった。WCTCにも徒歩12分程度で行ける。ここ最近毎年年末前にパラオに行っているが、次回はまた宿泊すると思う。物価は高めだが治安の良いパラオで、どこの家も番犬を飼っているが、宿泊施設の番犬はしっかり客を識別していてたのもしい犬である。ビーチタオルが自由に使える。あえてテレビが無いのが良いと思う。日本人と欧米系の方の宿泊が多いという印象を受けた。
- WAI PING (10/5): 地點適中,性價比高 - 這是一間由日本人經營的旅館,因此這裏的住客主要是日本人。這幾天住宿好像就只有我們這對香港人和幾位外國人。住這裡也行方便,走10多分鐘就到shopping centre, 如果不想走太遠的餐館,附近其實已有選擇。旅館設施沒有好豪華,但基本設備已有,我們住的豪華雙床房面積足夠,有小冰箱和保險箱,如果要雪大的物品或是雪糕的,也可以用公用雪櫃,而且有公用廚房可以煮食,只要用後自己清潔就好了。每天出海也有沙灘毛巾可以免費借用,回來還後第二天又可借乾淨的,不用自己處理。整體我覺得很滿意,而且比住shopping centre附近的酒店便宜。下次再來也會住這裡。
- MALIA (10/5): Palau Through the Eyes of the DW Motel - Hafa Adai:
I was truly unaware off the hotel's capacities until I arrived. It was lovely yet hidden motel. It was quiet and truly focused on those that just want to be away. It was far from the general hotel areas, quiet.
It was a small hotel and I felt at home. I was not walking a huge reception area, or elevators or expansive hallways. It was exceptionally clean and maintained.
Since there are no restaurants at the motel, I needed to eat somewhere. This was not a problem since the eating sites are within walking distance. In addition, small stores were nearby providing my basic daily needs.
Palau is a beautiful destination. Nature was all around. Thus I was always mesmerize by the island's landscape, flora and fauna. From my room, I observed the extensive mangrove forest.
The motel was a neighborhood location. Families lived surrounding the hotel. I thought this gave me an insight and casual observations of how Palauans lived. The people of the land is the primary asset of any destination.
Nearby, the only Public High School of the island is located, Palau Senior High School. Thus, I observed the students daily in the morning and early afternoon when I walked through the main boulevard of Koror.. Adjacent to the high school is the Palau Community College.
Not too far, I was able to see the Palau National Museum and certain National State Government Offices. Again, all were within walking distance.
Truly, the DW Motel was my home away from home.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Good location, nice, helpful staff
- kimyoungjin (8/5): good - Great~~
- Catherine (8/5): Very comfortable budget stay - Overall, this is a great budget hotel. It was clean, staff was very helpful, it was quiet. The hotel does have hot water/coffee/tea available in the lobby, there is also a microwave and kitchen facilities available to guests. It isn't in a lively part of town, but within 1/4-1/2 mile walking one can get to numerous dining options/shops. Wi-Fi access is through a card that must be purchased, but accesses WI-Fi anywhere in town, not just the hotel. Annoying, but that is probably another reason it is a reasonable cost to stay there.
- michelle (6/5): 적당한 가격에 적당한 모텔
- 일반 여행객에게는 살짝 아쉽지만 다이버들에게는 괜찮은 숙소인 것 같습니다.
장점은 다운타운이 걸어서 10분 거리라는 점과 1층에 주방이 있다는 점입니다.
그 외 저희가 묶었던 206호 냉장고, 에어컨이 굉장히 시끄러웠습니다.
city tax 1박당 12불을 현지에서 별도로 지불했습니다.
- Åsa (8/5): Good motel with great location - Room was well size and clean. Coin laundry was excellent. Staff at reception were friendly. Worth of price.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Cosy and clean - I met friendly staff and cute dog.
clean and cosy bed room.
Thanks to have laundry and dry area.
QuIet place close to downtown.
- まりも (10/5): とてもコスパの優れた滞在先で、スタッフも親切です - ホテルの部屋は十分に清潔で、部屋には小さな冷蔵庫があります。クーラーも十分に効きますし、お湯もふんだんに出ます。毎日、バスタオルを色々な形に綺麗に整えてくれているのが印象的でした(像、エイ、船など)。
共同キッチンは1階にあり、コンロは2つです。混雑するシーズン・時間帯はコンロを利用するのが難しいかもしれません。鍋や皿やコップ、また日本の調味料は置いてあります。他に、湯沸かし器やインスタント・コーヒー、砂糖、それに共同の大きな冷蔵庫もあります。飲料水(フィルターされた水道水)も1階に設置されています。洗濯機も2台設置されており、1回2ドルで利用できます。正面玄関の横には、洗濯物を干すスペースもあり便利ですが、とても湿度が高いため、シャツ等は一晩では乾きませんでした(7月、雨季)。玄関周辺には大きな犬が2匹いますが、とてもとても大人しく、まったく怖くありません。あと、GTO、稲中卓球部、沈黙の艦隊、ジパングなど、たくさんの漫画や小説も置いてあります。
日本語のできない方でも、とても親切な日本人スタッフが常駐しているので安心してください。彼女を通して、色々とアクティビティを予約することも出来るようです。最安値40ドルでレンタカーを借りることも出来ます(ベラウツアーの場合)。返却時間にアクティビティに参加していても、フロントに鍵を預けていればOKでした。後で、いちゃもんもつけられませんでした。
リッチなホテルに泊まり慣れている人にはお勧めしませんが、一般ピープルには、絶対的なコスパ&クオリティーであるとお勧めできます。
- HAJIME (8/5): ダイビングが主目的 - ダイビングをやる為にで滞在しました。価格もお手頃で器材の洗い場もあり、ダイビングがメインで過ごす方には快適かと思います。コンビニは少し距離がありますが、飲み物も販売しているので何も困りませんでした。インターネットもプリペイドカードで接続可能です。
- ママ (8/5): ローカルホテル - 本当にダイバーかシュノーケリング目的であれば最高のホテルです。
ホテルでのんびり!
お留守番って言うわけにはいかないホテルです。
部屋にも、フロントにも、テレビ、娯楽施設はありません。
冷房は効いています。
シャワーもよく出て、高温にもなります。
値段から言ったら、お勧めです。
- Verified traveler (8/5): - エアコン、ホットシャワー、冷蔵庫付きの清潔なお部屋で快適に過ごせました。スタッフの皆さんも感じの良い方ばかりで、楽しい滞在でした。特に日本人スタッフの山本さんには色々相談に乗っていただき感謝しています。ありがとうございました。共用のキッチンと、無料の飲用水、コーヒーと紅茶があったのもありがたかったです。パラオはwifi事情があまりよくないということだったので、有料のwifiは使用しませんでした(無料wifiのあるカフェで繋いだときは、ややゆっくりでしたがメールチェックやSNS閲覧は問題なくできました)。大きなスーパーのある中心地までは歩くと10~15分くらいだと思います。すぐ近くに商店やレストランもあるし、ツアーの送迎はホテルまで来てもらえるのでまったく不便はありませんでした。ホテルの番犬的な犬がいたことが、犬好きな私にはうれしかったです。とてもいいこたちでした。またパラオに行く際にはぜひ泊まりたいです。
- SIM ENG (8/5): Good for a cheap 1 day Stay - Very helpful and attentive staff.
Expensive late check out charges. Could have reduce cost if the rooms are vacant anyway.
- Verified traveler (8/5): 清潔感のあるホテル - 日本語が通じるので安心感はあります。パラオはホテルが全体的に高いので、ダイビング目的で利用されている方が大半です。部屋にはテレビも電話もないので自然と健康的な滞在になりました。シーツやタオルなどは清潔感もあり、良かったです!
- Verified traveler (8/5): 少人数で利用するならコストパフォーマンスが合っているホテル - キッチン及び調味料も結構そろっている、日本語書籍、漫画が多数揃っていていいです
協同使用するテラスが良い
- Verified traveler (8/5): 便利なホテル - 天井に小動物がすんでいて、やかましかった。
- Verified traveler (6/5): - 交通はちょっと不便でした。ベランダに灰皿がほしかったです。部屋にTVがないのは良いのですが、ロビーにもないのは少し困ります。
- Petr (6/5): Laciný hotel nedaleko centra - Motel je levnou alternativou v drahém Kororu. Na pokoji se vyskytují malí mravenci a občas komáři, v rohu koupelny na stropě plíseň. Jinak byl pokoj dobrý, klimatizace fungovala, Je možno posedět pod přístřeškem před hotelem nebo zde snídat či večeret. K dispozici je vybavená kuchyně a pitná voda z barelu v kuchyni. Do centra dojdete pohodlně za 10 minut. Zpět na letiště vám hotel objedná taxi za 10 USD na osobu, při příletu za 20 USD. Z recepce vám rezervují místní výlety za poznáním nebo potápěním.
- はぎべー (8/5): - 従業員の方が親切で、とても良いところでした。
市内中心部にも、歩いてすぐなので、あるくのが、嫌いでなければ、街の雰囲気を感じながら、近所を散歩しても面白いですよ
- younok (8/5): 조용하고 깨끗한모텔 - 위치도 좋았어요 공항과도 가까웠고 금액대비
숙박시설도 만족 합니다!! 모든걸 조리 할수있는
주방과 조리시설 준비되어 있어요. 마트도 가까워서 아침식사 와 저녁식사 후 야식 만들어 먹었어요!!^^
- Tomi (8/5): 静か - スタッフが親切。アットホームな雰囲気が気に入りました。ダイビングが目的ではなかったのですが、スタッフの方たちとの交流も含め、とても楽しい1週間でした。
- SEUNGYUN (10/5): 편리하고 깨끗한 모텔 - 침구를 매일 갈아주는 모텔은 처음봤어요. 고급호텔도 시트 깨끗하면 며칠 동안 교체하지 않던데.
정말 깔끔하고 쾌적합니다.
액티비티 하고 돌아와서 수건으로 동물 모양 만들어 놓는 거 보는 재미도 있어요. 하루의 피로가 풀리는 것 같습니다.
직원들 모두 매우 친절하고, 걸어서 마트까지 가까워서 좋아요.
- Tristan (10/5): Comfortable - Hotel was fine, I am only in the room to sleep a few hours before my next adventures
- justin (8/5): 中心街に近いホテル - ダイバーズハウスのような感じです。バカンスという雰囲気を望まないのであれば十分快適に過ごせます。日本人スタッフが1名在籍していますので、なにか困ったことがあれば親切に教えてくれると思います。
- Verified traveler (8/5): 立地もよく居心地の良いホテル - 近くにレストランもスーパーもあり便利な立地です。部屋は広く、タオルアートがされたベッドが出迎えてくれます。フロントは日本人スタッフが午後6時までいるので周辺の情報も教えてもらえます。また、1Fにはキッチンと談話スペースがあり、飲水ももらえ、持ち込んだ果物のカットや自炊もできます。出入り口付近にフレンドリーな犬が2頭おり近寄ってきたりしますが、良くしつけられていますので何の問題もありません。外の騒音がたまにうるさいですが、夜10時以降の部屋外での談話が禁止されていますのでゆっくり休めます。
- Bonz (8/5): 世界中からお客が集まっている
- キッチンもあり使い放題!
昼間は日本人が対応してくれる。
バスタブは無いがシャワーだけでいい人は満足ができると思います。
部屋の片づけもキチンとしてくれていた。
パラオなので、表記料金とは別に宿泊税が1泊に付12ドル掛かるのでご注意を!
- Vedran (8/5): Excellent quiet location in downtown Koror - Excellent location just few steps away from the main street in Koror, but still very quiet. Room was spotlessly clean, airconditioned and the bed very comfortable. There is a communal kitchen that you can use to make your own meals.
The Japanese owner was very nice and helpful. She was there for all needs and tried to sort out immediately any issue I had in Palau by calling around and checking things with tourist office, airlines, travel agencies etc.
Wifi was very good for Palauan standard, although not free but still affordable at USD1 per hour.
I would definitely stay here again. Great stay!
- TAKEHIKO (8/5): 暇な夕方みんなでワイワイ - 共用のキッチンがあるので、朝食やグループの食事など安上がりで、楽しめます。パラオは町も小さくどの店も似たようなものなので自分で料理する時間があれば楽しめます。
- Kaori (8/5): Clean and comfy - Clean and comfy, hotel staff was wonderful. Good pressure hot shower, no TV & telephone in the room was ok for me. If here has free wifi, perfect ! Definitely come back!!
- Murray (6/5): Decent hotel in central Koror. - This hotel is good value within a 10 minute walk of the main business area. However, there are several charges applicable in addition to the booking fee. The airport shuttle costs $35 return. WiFi is available but only with the $10 purchase of an Internet card. Each hotel seems to collect a tax of $12 per night not included in the booking price. It all adds up!
- Verified traveler (8/5): Great hotel for divers - Very friendly and helpful staff who helped with car hire and airport transfers. The hotel rooms are simple but clean and comfortable with good a/c. Good kitchen facilities for self catering. A good base for divers who need a reasonably priced motel and not a luxury beach resort
- kaimakani (8/5): ダイビングが目的なら充分。 - チェックインの時に市税として1泊当たり
12ドルを請求されました。
えっ?!という感じでしたが
エクスペディアのバウチャーを見たら
書いてありました。
よく見ておかないとだめですね。
空港から送迎車で約15分。事前にホテルに
依頼して いて、往復で一人70ドル。
部屋は 丁度良い広さで、使い勝手が
良かったです。毎日可愛いタオルアートを
してくれて、部屋に戻るのが楽しみでした。
バスルームは広くて清潔で、シャワーの
水圧も良く、リンスインシャンプーと
液体ソープが備え付けてありました。
冷蔵庫やエアコンの効きも良かったです。
共有のキッチンがあるので自炊も可能です。
ミネラルウォーターが無料なので買わずに
すんで助かりました。
器材の干し場もあり、ダイビングが
目的なら充分なホテル。
コスパは非常に良いと思います。
フロントには日本人の女性がいましたが、
ちょっと事務的な印象を受けました。
近くにはスーパーやコンビニもありますが、
あまり品揃えは良くありません。
繁華街まで歩いて10分ちょっとでした。
- Hiroyuki (8/5): シンプルで快適なホテル - 清潔で快適なホテルです。エレベータがない、テレビがない、Wi-Fiが繋がりにくいなどの点はありますが、共同のキッチンや親切で丁寧なスタッフ、そして十分な清掃など全体としてシンプルながら快適に過ごせました。街の中心部までも徒歩圏内です。
- hirosca (8/5): 日本人スタッフ常設で英語が苦手な方も安心です。 - 日本人スタッフが常設ですのでとても安心です。
レストランの予約やアクティビティの予約、パラオ情報などお願い出来ます。
毎日のベットメイクはマンタやクラブなど帰って来るのが楽しみ。
共同キッチンやランドリーの設備もあって便利です。
ダウンタウンまでは少し遠いですが、近くにミニマートもありますし、無料で自転車を
貸して頂けます。
部屋はシンプルですが、掃除も行き届いており清潔感があります。
日本の雑誌やコミック、小説も沢山置いてありますのでホテルで夜はゆっくりと読書も
できます。
日本人にはとても過ごしやすいと思います。
- Verified traveler (8/5): ダイバーの為のホテル - ホテルにバカンスを求めるのならばグレードを上げたほうが良いでしょう。毎日出掛けてホテルでは寝るだけでしたら十分な設備です。
- Verified traveler (6/5): Fine for an affordable option - We were a little disappointed with this place. We had expected a bit more from DW, given the price.
Pros: Clean room with good AC. Mostly friendly staff that helped us organize a rental car.
Cons: You have to pay for wifi! There were water shortages on Palau when we were there, which obviously is not the hotel's fault, but we were a bit surprised that they didn't do anything to make the stay easier, such as provide additional (or even larger) bottles of drinking water.
Location: about 15minutes walk to the main restaurant area. There is one cafe close by.
- Papasfritas (10/5): Great! - Very clean, good hot water shower, good A/C, free drinking water, good location (close to Rock Island Cafe), very friendly and helpful staff, good beds, you can use their big washing machines for only $2 (and there's a space to line-dry your clothes, or you can use the dryer for another $2).
My only complaints are that the pillows were very flat/hard, there's no free wifi, and that the airport shuttle is insanely expensive for such a short drive.
- Mike (8/5): - 5 nights, chill and friendly, helpfull and un obtrusive, a good place in koror.
- Francois (8/5): good value for the money - clean hotel
rooms are big
good for a short stay
- HUICHI (8/5): good - good
- Verified traveler (6/5): Good for a short stay - Enjoyed the kitchen and outside dining area. They have a rice cooker!
Room 103 was a bit uncomfortable due to having only two small windows but it had a table and chairs out front, with room to park a bicycle there too. Nice.
- Laura (8/5): Good budget motel, - Great budget motel, in town, walking distance to restaurants, grocery store. Neighborhood dogs barked a lot, but the staff was super friendly & helpful, taking & receiving phone calls for guests. Room very clean, new air conditioners. Nice kitchen available any time of day. Rented a bike from hotel for $10/day. Museums close-by.
- Verified traveler (6/5): Nice staff. Subpar rooms. - The staff are helpful and patient. They need to be given that the rooms smell like mold and are only mildly comfortable.
- John (10/5): Very good choice in Koror - Not at all fancy, but clean, comfortable, and very pleasant. Good location, quiet, short walk to main business area. Super-helpful staff.
- RON (6/5): Motel in town of Koror - Budget motel in Palau, nothing especially good or bad. This is the type of motel that you might spend the night driving on a cross country trip in a one motel town in a tiny town off the freeway. When I booked there were not many choices in Palau, this had the best rating, located in town definitely not a "beach" resort. If available I would book a beachfront hotel next time although they seem to cost about 3-4 X more than this that was just under $100.
- Magnus W (8/5): Good value for money - Central, good value for money
- Christopher (10/5): Money well spent - Perfect for the busy vacation type. Room 101 has a extended room good for extra luggage or coolers which we needed!
- Leslie (10/5): Loved our stay - Stayed here for 4 days and loved our triple room. It was perfect for us - we didn't need a hotel with tons of amenities because we were out enjoying the islands during the day. It was really clean, the beds were comfy and the staff is great! We liked that it was a little off the main street. If you are looking for a resort type hotel with a pool, this is not for you. If you want a hotel to shower and sleep - this is a GREAT place; highly recommend!
- Verified traveler (8/5): Clean basic hotel - Stayed here for two nights prior to scuba diving on a live aboard boat. It is convienently located walking distance from shopping and restaurants. Clean basic hotel good for short stay.
- muke (10/5): Great budget hotel, - Everything u need. Friendly staff, good location
- Bedouin (6/5): Simple Clean and comfort place for your stay. - Pros:
Cheap.
Clean.

There is no light in the alley either

- Verified traveler (8/5): Budget price and good location. - Stayed 3 nights one week and two nights after our boat trip. Our first stay was more satisfactory because we were on level 2. Our final 2 nights were on level 1 and the room we were offered had been occupied by smoker(s) even though against hotel policy. We shifted room but had a smoker next door and smoking permitted on the balcony. Luckily he was not there much so it was Ok. Overall a good experience and I would recommend DW motel.
- Verified traveler (6/5): Plain, value-oriented motel good for short stays - I stayed at the DW Motel in March, 2015 for two nights. The room was very basic but clean and the air conditioning worked well. There was no TV or phone.
The décor is very plain. There was small window beneath the A/C unit and a very tiny window in the bathroom. Liquid soap and shampoo dispensers were in the shower stall, which was quite spacious.
The reception area is quite small but there is a large adjacent sitting room and kitchen. Free coffee, tea, and water are always available in the sitting room. There is also a small outside sitting area that's sheltered from the rain.
Reception is open from 7:30 to 18:00 so you'll need to arrange things like excursions, taxis, etc. between those hours, which the receptionist will happily do. There is a phone at the reception desk if you need help after hours.
This motel is geared towards divers and is popular with the Japanese tourists. I didn't use the dive gear cleaning and storage area but it looked okay.
As a transit hotel before or after a liveaboard trip, the DW is fine for a night or two. It's one of the cheapest places to stay in Koror and if all you want is a bed and a place to clean up, the DW will suit you. Otherwise, you might want to explore other, more expensive options.
- Vic (6/5): Good value, do not expect too much help/service - This motel is primarily for the chinese and japanese public, if you are neither, do not expect too much service or help from staff, they hardly care and do not speak English. The place can be very noisy, the wall are separated by cheap boards and you will hear everything from your neighbors. No internet service either, buy an expensive card and you cannot use the service from your room, very disappointing.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Clean budget hotel - The room was large and clean. It is a budget hotel so no TV or wifi. There is free coffee and water downstairs. Staff were very helpful and responded quickly to pre-visit email requests.
Located in the main part of town rather than the resort part so easy access to shops.
- Os (10/5): Great location, 10min away from the city center! - The staff was very helpful, always eager to give us advice on all matters related to our stay.
- Jay (8/5): Great place for touring Palau on a budget - I stayed here for my time before and after a liveaboard diving charter. The staff was great arranging my transfers and being there for late arrival and departure times. Hotel is central to most of Koror both beach and shopping can be reached within about 20 min walk.
They will also arrange day tours and stuff at no charge. With a dive shop right around the corner.
One downside if you have kids or are a TV junky/no tv's in room
- Verified traveler (6/5): Watch out for bad water! - I came to Koror, Palau on a Scuba vacation. I stayed at DW Motel for two nights. My only real problem was that about 11:45 on the second evening, I was awakened by hotel staff with two small (half-liter) bottles of water. No explanation other than water would be off from around midnight to 2 am. I later learned that the water was for flushing the toilet (!). I presumed that it was to replace the potable water in the mini-refrigerator in the room, but noticed that the bottles seal was broken, refilled with possibly non-potable water. Though I was aware that water was severely restricted, I would have thought that the hotels in town would have adequate supplies. The bottles contained captured rain water from the roof of the building.
- Verified traveler (6/5): Good deal but dated - Prime location on the island and definitely one of the cheapest places in Palau to stay, so I would absolutely return, but with that said there are some negatives. The staff is very nice but speak limited English and despite undergoing a renovation last year the property feels dated with mold in the bathroom, thirty year old colors and a shower that can barely push out any cold water. Much of this is down to the location as most things in Palau are not in the best condition and imports are expensive. Just take it with a grain of salt.
- Robert (10/5): The Best Budget Motel in Koror - Excellent Budget Hotel----clean and up-to-date----best food and price restaurant across the street---The Rock Island Cafe----the DW Motel Koror on Main Street has excellent service and convenient location. Being from Miami, Florida, i honestly did not expect such a nice place, especially with laundry facilities. The air conditioner was superb. I took a WW2 battlefield tour of Peleliu with Peleliu Adventures---an extraordinary experience, a must if you are in Palau. Also free transportation by museum drover to and from the Belau National Museum---DW Motel desk will call for you.
- Diver - Jill (10/5): Convenient, well priced, very friendly - It's in a good location and easy to walk to town . It's spotless and the staff and all so friendly and helpful. There is free tea and coffee and water, cheap bicycles to rent, a place to wash and hang your dive gear and a kitchen you can use anytime, as well as a laundry. Great place to stay. Third floor is the best.
- Davy Falla (10/5): Superb for divers! - The DW Motel is a cheap and cheerful motel. That said, the level of service, quality of the room and location are truly fantastic. I was very impressed by the staff and every day we returned to fresh towels neatly arranged into fantastic towel animals! Although the motel doesn't offer breakfast they do have facilities to sort your own out. However, a 2 minute walk away and you find the Rock Island Cafe and they do breakfast burritos. Which I had every day whilst on the island. They were that good!!! If you're a diver looking to reduce the overall cost of your trip I would definitely recommend the DW. You will not be disappointed. Whilst diving we spoke to a few people and the overall consensus was that the expensive hotels on the island failed to deliver considering the cost. Like I said cheap and cheerful, you cannot go wrong with the DW Motel. More info, most dive operators and restaurants offer free shuttle services so getting around is not too much of a problem. Taxi's after 10pm are more expensive... If your flight arrives after that time expect to pay about $40USD to get into town. Before 10pm we paid $25. The diving was unbelievably amazing, we chose Sam's Tours and could possible be the best dive operator I have had the pleasure to dive with.
- Verified traveler (6/5): - The location is excellent for the downtown part of Koror. Although our expectations weren't high, we were surprised with the lack of furniture (no tv, telephones) etc. and the antiquated desk and chair. The internet was charged by the hour and the connections were sporadic at best. We had ants in the bathroom constantly despite the overall cleanliness of the room. The beds were comfortable and the rooms were serviced well. The staff was friendly and helpful.
- carsten (8/5): Nice motel - Frindlig staff, clean rooms, clous to evey tings.
