With its first branch in Zambales, the second in La Union – The Circle Hostel is now in Baler! It is situated a few meters away from Aliya Surf Camp, at the back of Cauti Bar and Grill. Our resident contributor, Moireen Espinosa who stayed in The Circle Hostel La Union a couple of times checked the Baler branch out and was definitely amazed!
The Circle Hostel Baler is currently in its soft operations but the facilities are already perfect to accommodate travellers of all kinds. From backpackers who would love to experience the hammocks, to groups of friends would like try surfing for the first time and sleep together in the bunkbeds area, or those who are also into the homey vibe of The Circle but opt for a more private room.
What’s extra nice about the The Circle Baler is that they have a mini skate area in the common area at the ground floor. They also have a tower, which is accessible through the common area at the second floor, which is great for waves checks!
The Circle Hostel Baler is located along Buton Street, Barangay Sabang, Baler Aurora. We’re near Aliya Surf Camp, past La Flor Lodge and right in front of Cautibar
