Shorebreak Hostel San Juan La Union, hotel in san juan la union

Located in san juan la union, a 3-minute walk from Urbiztondo Beach, Shorebreak Hostel San Juan La Union has accommodations with a garden, free private parking, a shared lounge and a terrace.

Location was great - close to the busier areas in LU, including great dining spots and the beach. We did come at the end of the long weekend, so everything was quiet and we had the parking to ourselves. The staff was very attentive and helpful. The room was perfect for our group of 4 (we booked the family room for 6). We had everything we needed!

    Nice spot, just a short walk from the beach and just a 15 minute walk to Urbiztondo. Great location and the public market is just a few minutes walk away. Place is very clean and comfortable. And last but not least Ed and Miriam are great hosts.

    Hostel was located right across Sebay, so it's easy to find. There was a station to wash sandy feet before going up the rooms. Room was well ventilated, with jalousies, and operational AC. Water supply was consistent, depsite being close to the sea, and there was heater as well.

    The price was very cheap. We only stayed because we had a night available before staying into our next 2 nights booking. The toilet paper was the best we've used in a stay, so that was cool. Rooms were fairly clean, no bugs.

    Raymund the overall manager was very warm and helpful. The place was private and safe. We stayed here for 2 nights on a cottage. There were obviously other guests: most from Manila too, others from nearby provinces, more local. Luckily, everyone respected each other's space. Our favourite experience was our after dinner wine by the bonfire boma while enjoying the cold night air and the sound of the beach at the background.
