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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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!

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

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.

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.

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.
