3BU Hostel, a community, an experience and a friendship-based place to stay in…
When it comes to (say) a “health remedy”, there’s the branded and the generic… Much like accommodations, there are the star-rated hotels and there are the others… Too many actually and sometimes if not usually, it’s just a place to crash-in after a day’s work or, specifically here in a tourist-go-to place, it’s most likely for that tired feet after a day tour. It doesn’t mean though that it shouldn’t be comfortable since it should be part of a relaxing ‘R & R’.
For all its “sleep-only” purpose for a concept, the capsule hotel was rather conceptualized and developed in Japan. It’s now here in Baguio: 3BU (pronounced, as well as a modern way of spelling ‘tribu’). And true to the city’s “communal disposition” and Baguio’s “hub for a place” sort of a geographical advantage, there is now a contemporary approach for a cost-efficient accommodation.
For all your Baguio trip’s worth, may it be:
- for that much needed escape
- a visit to your Baguio-schooled kid/friend or for whatever reason
- a stopover on your way to a mountain trek (Mt. Pulag anyone or Sagada probably?)
- some “alone time” perhaps
- a flitting-moment to probably meet one “summer fling” even…
- a “barkada” escapade
- or any of those backpacking adventures, etc.
you’d be “capsulated” into that much anticipated restorative niche. Like a generic capsule one is to take, 3BU is the stimulant that serves its purpose while giving a lot more beneficial side-effects.
As above-mentioned, it’d likely be an experience of gaining new friends as you get sheltered among a like-minded community. All-embracing side-effects indeed, other than the inclusive amenities:
- Air-conditioned pads
- Hot/Cold Shower
- Locker (which one could rent out separately as storage while you’re out of town or something)
- Dressing/Changing Room
- a Game Room (board games, a game console, etc.)
- WiFi
- Netflix
- Overflowing/bottomless drinking water
- Free Breakfast at Liquid Black (3BU’s in-house bar/café where similarly affordable nourishments are more than hunger-busters but where you could likewise create a new experience, establish rapport and develop further network)
These allows more room for “OA” ~ Opportunities for and Accumulation of:
- Savings (which one could use for other things)
- More places to go to
- Shopping for that “Baguio Pasalubong”
- Wider affiliation
- and perhaps, that sense of fulfillment
- And a lot more ‘NOURISHING SUPPLEMENTS’
How “OA” is that? Eats OA!!
