Couple steps to beach. Magical view of the ocean

Front desk staff was hit or miss. The day person was very friendly and helpful but the night person was kinda rude and dismissive. The room itself was normal, with nice ocean views. Toiletries and towels were provided, possibly only because I had a private room. The room floor was kinda dusty though so it is recommended to walk around with sandals or socks. The linens were clean but the mattress and pillows were terrible. I appreciated the luggage storage at no additional cost and the lounge looked ok. I did not use the kitchen nor ate the complimentary breakfast.
The hostel is in a very noisy area surrounded by loud bars with rowdy crowds, but this is expected given the area. Just not adequate for light sleepers or people looking for a peaceful stay. Guests come in and out of rooms all the time and you can hear all the conversations happening in the hallway and even other rooms. Once again, this is normal for a hostel.

I couldn’t sleep. So much noise, music, people… there’s a party right down the building. There’s no parking available how says here, you need to pay for it. The staff is super cute and amazing, the room was ok, I liked that have a private bathroom (I stayed at a 4bed woman), the bad is not the best but even if it was, I couldn’t sleep because the noise. If you’re traveling for party, I think it’s ok, if not, don’t stay here.

This is our second time at Samesun and the location and price can’t be beat. It’s not a 5 star hotel and you have to know that going in. The staff is kind if you are kind to them and the community is pretty cute!

I checked out a day early because parking was $110 for 24 hours. The staff and stay was perfect. It got me out of my shell and forced me share space and be social everyone was nice. The staff professional and nice

Chris at the desk is awesome. He loves his job, was eager to share tips and best practices to get the best of of our stay. Our room looked out towards to sea and it was just gorgeous! Breath of fresh air. We will be back!

Very clean and friendly staff. I felt safe.

Sadly the pictures don't match with what I got, I had DRY BLOOD on my sheets, very bad isolation on the rooms, no ladder to get up on the bed so if you're tiny good luck getting up there. Very disappointed.
There are 2 types of hostels; and even if the location is absolutely perfect, I can't say this is a good one.
Pretty expensive for what you get, save yourself sometimes and look elsewhere !

As a mature traveler seeking a short but memorable stay in Venice Beach, I found the Samesun Venice Beach Hostel to be a fitting choice. While the accommodation may lean towards the rugged side, its prime location more than made up for it. Situated mere footsteps away from the vibrant cultural scene of Venice Beach and the iconic Santa Monica Pier, this hostel offers an experience that encapsulates the essence of the area.
Upon arrival, I was immediately struck by the lively atmosphere surrounding the hostel. From the colorful boardwalk to the eclectic mix of street performers and vendors, Venice Beach exudes a unique energy that is simply infectious. The proximity to this cultural hub allowed me to immerse myself fully in the sights and sounds of this iconic destination.
The hostel itself may not boast luxurious amenities, but it provides all the essentials for a comfortable stay. The dormitory-style rooms were clean and tidy, and the communal areas offered ample space for socializing and relaxation.

Place was amazing! great staff they maintained a safe environment while makeing everyone feel comfortable and welcome! A few people usually meet up at lounge area and go do activities together definitely a great place to meet friends and members of opposite sex. I had an amazing time and left with new amazing friends! Fresh breakfast every morning! Best hostle experience by far!

I really like coming here. It's a bit off beat, which makes it relaxing to me, people being able to be themselves. And of course, the location right by the water is wonderful! Beautiful sunsets and strolls on Venice Beach Walk ...

It’s a hostel in a good location if your focus is Venice beach.

Personally prefer more firmer mattress, but overall value is more than what you pay.

Absolutely wonderful! Would definitely recommend. As a solo traveller, one of my biggest fears is finding a safe accomodation. Things aren't really as they seem online. But Samesun exceeded my expectations! I got a all women dorm and I shared it with a couple of other solo backpackers. It has been a wonderful experience.
