The Circle Hostel is a chain of budget friendly eco-hostels in the Philippines. Our goal is to create affordable lodging and create a positive and friendly community atmosphere amongst travellers. We want to be a sanctuary for the artsy and the adventurous where people can express themselves freely among each other and on our walls. Because at the Circle Hostel, there are no strangers.
Our Zambales hostel is located in the sleepy surfing town of San Felipe, Zambales.
We want to be at one with nature and have built the hostel to maximize the natural sea breeze flowing through the area. During the day, get your stoke on at our surf spot (peak season October-March), at night you can chill in our common area or pass out in your bed or hammock (with built in mosquito nets!)
If surfing isn't your thing there are a bunch of islands and coves you can hop to and enjoy the scenery.
If you time your stay you might even get to experience a Circle Hostel festival (bands, art jams, beach clean ups, games and more!)
Sadly, this hostel has closed.
