It was clean and convenient

Good

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!

Rude

Close to de beach

Great location and price, but noisy at night. Good for under 30 years old and backpacking.

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

Great location, friendly staff, very clean, nice communal area, very good value for money.

The staff was friendly and helpful. The hostel was clean and tidy. Most of the other guests were friendly.

I had a great stay! As a female traveling solo I felt very safe. Would stay again and recommend to others

Very great customer service

Great pizza place nearby that you don't want to miss.

Great location !

Very central hostel right on Venice Beach, cool people and safe area

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.

No outside window, loud, poor electrical outlets. Good location, fine staff

The property was clean, they had shampoo, conditioner and soap available, the staff super nice

I loved staying here it was my first time staying in a hostel and will be coming back staff and other guest were so nice. Can’t wait for the next trip

Excellent!

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 ...

Horrible

Close to the beach

I loved the location but on weekends loud clubbing music so window needed to be closed and use earplugs

It is good to start your vacation in the USA at this spectac. Place. Meeting friendly nice good people young people with conciousness of mother earth and good feeling of rollernlades or skating and music. Enjoy this wonderful place at the pacific ocean.

Stairs. Poor shower.

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.
