The Circle Hostel La Union

Overall, it was all good, but since they implement a “clean as you go” policy, it feels like they don’t thoroughly check to maintain the cleanliness of certain areas, especially the bathrooms, that are not en-suite. Everything was perfect except for the restroom, which had a rather unpleasant odor. Although it’s not located by the shore, it’s highly recommended as a place to stay.

The place and the staffs were really nice. It was also comfortable sleeping in the bunk beds. Very convenient place to be near the beach, restos and 7-11. The common bathrooms and showers were also very clean. Love the place! Will definitely be back and recommend it to others.

You get what you pay for. I think there should be a conscious effort to keep it clean because, despite the rules of tenants in the hostel to pick up after themselves, they still make mess. Hopefully, there will be renovations because the bathroom could use a bit more upkeep. I also had skin allergies from the sheets after staying for two nights. Of course, this is not really on the establishment, so if you have sensitive skin, please bring proper ointments to minimize skin wounds.
