Kalibo, Aklan Cheap Accommodations / Hotels / Guesthouse / Inns
A lot has been asking me on where is the cheapest place to stay in Kalibo for the Ati-atihan festival. So I think this will be helpful for budget travelers like me:

Room rates:
Cheapest: Fan Room- Php150/head. I stayed here and they have 4 double-deck beds, meaning you are sharing the room with 7 others. Luckily, its was off-peak season so we are only two in the room. Girls have their own dorm room separated from boys. Common bath room too.
De Luxe room- Php 1,456 (good for 3pax). 1 double bed, 1 single bed, TV, bathtub, hot and cold shower.
Family room- Php3,000 (good for 6pax). 3 double beds, TV, ref, hot & cold shower. They also have a suite room which I forgot to get the rates.

Hope this helps fellow budget travelers visiting Kalibo, Aklan for the Ati-Atihan or just cruising through when going to Boracay.
Kalibo is just 2 hours away from Caticlan. If you are going to Boracay you may want to read my previous articles:

Salamat sa pag share nito, James! Malaking tulong ito.
Giving my five cents worth:
there is one called “ATI-ATIHAN COUNTY INN”– close to aklan freedom shrine, close to kalibo provincial hospital.. along d. maagma st., just beside the municipal trial court..
lucky enough– mag isa lang ako when i stayed there last dec 17.. i went back dec20 and another traveler checked-in.. yehey! may ksama na ako! hehehehe
for me, this is the best dorm type accomodation.. 150/head/ fan/ spacious.. really a big-dorm type room for budget travelers.. spacious t/b…safe area…clean.. modest… and manage by the local government of kalibo (nakatulong ka pa sa gobyerno hehe)
also, they have de luxe/regular aircon rooms/family room as well…
Gala tayo (let’s wander!)
nice information! thanks for sharing
..yea well, that la esperanza hotel is charging me 15000 pesos/370 bux for a 3 night stay during ati atihan in ’13. cheap? i dont think so.
It is a common practice in Kalibo. During the Ati-Atihan season, they have their rooms as a “package” with increased rates more than 100% minimum of 3 nights. Making use of the influx of tourists..
hello, how far is the la esperanza hotel from the airport?
May I ask if you know the room rates in Ati-Atihan Hostel?
Hi, you may contact reservations@atiatihanfestival.ph or text +639266214798 for inquiries and you will get instant reply.
I was looking for a cheap accommodation in Kalibo close to the airport and, waddaya know, i landed on your site again. Thanks for this, James.
Hi. Thanks for this. What can you recommend that is the closest to the airport because my flight gets in from Manila at around 6pm and I will just stay overnight and leave for Caticlan the next day.
hey guys, do you know any mobile numbers of the hotels listed above or any other hotels in kalibo? Thanks!
Journeying James MUCH LOVE to you right now! Was having trouble finding a room for tonight, the ati athihan was trying to over charge me for a dorm style room( 700P even though the website says 270P!) then found ur blog, staying at Esperanza hotel (150P!) both I and my wallet thank you! <3
