Jim's castle inn needs some work
Room was not clean,found dog flea in the bedding.No toiletries! not even a toilet roll.Water was not draining in the toilet,soap dish broken, nothing working well. If it was refundable,would of transferred to another hotel.Cups not washed in the entrance. Should atleast do some work to be presentable,even just the basic stuff.

It’s a little out of the way about a 15-20 minute walk to the city center. But only about 3-5 minutes on a tuk tuk. Staff was great and very helpful. It is on a side street of another side street (going down then up a hill so just be aware for when you come with bags)

Response from Des on 25 Oct 2023
We are saddened by the feedback you left us, and we are sorry that you didn't like the room offered for Php 400 per night. We have checked the room details you booked, and it indicates that it is a fan (electric fan) room with a shared bathroom. If you only spoke with us and informed us of your concern, we would be glad to offer you an upgraded room with air conditioning and a private bathroom for a minimal price, but you just left with the key and without a word.

Can’t beat the price - friendly staff - free coffe
Can’t beat this spot for the price! Incredibly friendly staff, free coffee/tea/hot or cold water, great location. Bed is comfortable enough and the fan was sufficient in keeping us cool at night. We extended our original stay

Our stay was great! Staff was really accomadation. Clean and fresh environment. You just need to walk a couple of minutes to the high way but, it’s not that far. Peaceful place! We had a great stay in this hotel.

Great budget choice
Great place to stay for the price, had a fan room with shared bathroom. The staff are really friendly and helpful. Location is nice and quiet, a little out of town but easily walkable or can get a tricycle for just 20 pesos. Would definitely recommend if you’re on a budget and not looking for luxury.

Very good place overall, staff was welcoming and the place is very clean and well situated. The only problem was the water pressure on the second floor was really weak and the wifi barely reached the room. Would go back though, very good.

Comfortable and Peaceful Hotel
Jen at the front desk was very helpful and attentive to each guest’s requests and queries. The place is a little far from the main road which is good if you want a peaceful and silent stay.

This property let me feel home away from home... It was so memorable... First of all the receptionist (Mommy Lorna) was so accomodating and motherly... She'll always assure the comfort, welfare and enjoyment of us guests... She takes time to ask for our needs and our tours!!! Kudos..., I will never forget the friendship we formed from this property (Ate Janet, Marjorine, Dyan, Kuya Joel, Jeff) because of the accomodating staff.. strongly recommend..

Satisfied customer
Overall, I enjoyed the stayed at Jim's Castle Inn.. The staff and service were great. The area was quiet but you need to go to the alley first before going to the room which is quite dark. No proper lighting when walking on the road though it was near on the main road. The food was per order so it will be cooked.

Nice staff, clean room
We enjoyed our stay at Jim's. The owner was always really helpful and there was almost always someone near the reception. The room was clean and had a nice balcony. In the philipines they never seem to clean the room when you've checked in but maybe you can ask for this. Hotel is right off the mainroad which makes it quiet at night but still close to everything.

Location and AC
Good location. Excellent AC and hot water. Internet didn’t work in the room. Comfortable bed. Toilet wouldn’t flush after our 2nd night and the hotel didn’t have any way to fix the problem, which was a bit annoying but overall a good stay.

Homestay bien localisé proche du centre de la ville de Coron. Très économique pour la chambre avec ventilateur et douche partagée. Possibilité de remplir ses gourdedms sur place. Personnel pas méchant mais pas spécialement compétent (pas toujours présent à l'accueil et pas très utile dans les renseignements). Douche vite sale car jamais lavée d'un jour à l'autre (nous sommes restés 3 nuits). Poubelle de l'étage pas vidée ni triée. Température de la chambre vite lourde sans ventilateur.

Familie sehr nett und zuvorkommend!! Lage abseits der Straße, schön ruhig. Das Bett für zwei Personen war eine Katastrophe. Sehr wackelig, wir spürten jede Bewegung des anderen. Der Fan erinnerte an ein Propeller, er hatte nur sehr hohe drehzahl. Da Fanroom oben, war es shr warm in der Nacht. Die Unterkunft hat noch einige Zimmer mehr. Wir würden bei den nächsten Aufenthalt ein Raum mit Klimaanlage wählen.

No thrills stay... silent location and good looking from the outside... our room in the back however was in not a very good state... hot water appliance was faulty thus giving burning hot even at the lowest setting or turning it off - cold as Siberia.

Stayed 4 nights at Jim’s castle inn, I had no power twice and no water once in short time during my staying. There’s no HOT water for shower and they don’t clean the restroom and trash bin everyday but the people are so kind. The fan room is really cheap but not recommended to live when in summer.
