You will not find WiFi there, you need to use your mobile data.

For relaxation you can use hammocks, a place with beanbags next to the small skating U ramp or you can climb the stairs to the spacious chill area full of beanbags, hammocks and tables. If you want to cook your own meal you can use the furnished kitchen, just remember to clean up after yourself. Tidy and clean showers with toilets are shared by all guests and they are divided for men and women. Another disadvantage of the rooms is absence of power outlets but you will find them in common areasĀ in sufficient quantities. There are a lots of bars around thanks to their loud music and karaoke you will not get much sleep. Other options are rooms for two persons or sleeping in hammock. Each is equipped with mosquito net for a quiet night without unwanted visitors and you can also find lockers in the rooms. You can stay in a classic mixed dorm room with three bunk beds. And you can also enrich some free spot with your work! I did not manage to make it so maybe next time. I really liked the colorful interior full of creative drawings from travelers. But as they say at the hostel "The best surfer out there is the one having most fun!".
I found my surfing buddies (from Sweden and Philippines) right in the morning so it was not boring in the waves even I sucked that day. The staff can advise you with current surfing conditions, trips around or transportation to Manila. You will feel really comfortable during your stay and you will be surrounded by friendly atmosphere of staff and other travelers who had headed there also for surfing. Besides Baler they are located in Zambales and La Union. The Circle Hostel is a network of hostels in Luzon island and you can find them in surf destinations.
