Hop Hostel offers rooms with free WiFi with limited access in Coron, well set 300 meters from Mount Tapyas. This 2-star hostel offers a shared kitchen and a shared lounge. The accommodation provides luggage storage space for guests. Hop Hostel has a rooftop which is best for sunset viewing. Perfect in every way, can't fault it. This has to be one of the top 5 hostels I've ever stayed in in the world. You could literally have a mini holiday here and not leave. The king size beds are a first for me. Pool, beanbag area by the pool, rooftop bar, cinema room, in house restaurant (I recommend the sizzling tofu), planned activities every day, including boat trip. Free dinner sample! Thank you to all the staff, they go the extra mile to make your stay as comfortable as possible, attention to detail, spotless, even change the shower mats daily. This place is not to be missed.
