Great Location And Staff

Very helpful staff who obliged all reasonable requests. Comfortable lounge for dining and chatting. Great location near the beach and boardwalk. Would recommend staff-led meet and greets, and maybe trivia contests to facilitate communication and unity amongst the guests. Definitely recommend this property.

Nice find!

So this place shouldn't be slept on. Booked this place after cancelling a slightly more expensive place. The rate you in book is the rate you pay. Pretty straightforward just don't trash the place and you won't get an incidentals charge. You can pay seemingly any method just need a major credit card for the incidentals charge supposing you damage something. I guess you could consider that the "deposit" except they don't hold anything on the card. Stayed for one night, woke up and took full advantage of the free Continental breakfast. Its free, basic and decent. Bagels, tangerines and toast are offered. They provide butter, cream cheese, little jellies and peanut butter. They have tea, hot cocoa and coffee as well, coffee is instant if that matters. They also have creamer, sugar and sweeteners. Im a big guy i had a top bunk and it was sturdy and comfy. Pillows are pretty small but not a deal breaker, blankets and sheets are provided and do the job to keep you warm. Definitely coming back. Good service from the front desk, bathrooms are clean, toilets and showers work well. They provide towels and wash cloths also.

Roger's review

I rented room 316. The room is modern and everything worked perfectly in the room. Plenty of fast hot water for the shower. Check in/out persons were very nice. All of the other persons renting rooms, I met walking up/down the stairs and in the breakfast area, were extremely friendly. Samesun is a totally FUN place to rent a room. I plan to rent a room again in the future.

Bring your shower shoes. This is my first trip staying at a hostel. It was on my bucket list lol and this location was so fabulous. I could not pass it up. Overall, the staff was friendly. The rooms were clean. Bedding was clean. Breakfast was decent. Bathroom and showers are shared so bring your shower shoes and you will be good to go. If you happen to be staying here on a Sunday at sundown, I step outside to see the electric light parade of bikes lit up and music blasting it is quite spectacle.

Rented room 301. The room was simply outstanding and very modern. Room had a window over looking the Venice Beach boardwalk. I really enjoyed my stay at the Samesun Venice Beach - Hostel. Plan to rent a room again, when I visit Venice Beach again.

Aucun service. Petit déjeuner où on doit faire la vaisselle !! Une chambre double avec salle de bain privée, plus cher qu un hôtel, peut être bien pour une auberge de jeunesse, mais pas au prix payé ! Situation idéale proche de la plage.
