Great location and perfect amenities

I was looking for a safe affordable option as a solo traveler, and Samesun delivered on all counts. I appreciated the attention to safety and emotional wellbeing, as well as the welcoming atmosphere and fun, cozy decor. I especially appreciated the option between communal bathroom and single bathroom/shower combos on each floor. I was not there long enough to take full advantage of the surfboards and patio and games in the communal area, but would love to come back for a longer stay. There is airport noise, but that’s true everywhere in San Diego. All the shops and eateries on the street are fun and unique, and the nightlife is vibrant and engaging.

Everyone is very friendly.

Great

It was definitely very clean! You need to do residential parking unfortunately. Feels pretty safe in general since it’s in a very busy street with shops, restaurants and bars. Only complaint is the receptionist that checked us in was a bit rude. I called the day before our stay to see if we can do an early check in and they happily said yes, anytime after 8am. We arrive early and he was very rude saying check in is at 3pm. We explained the situation and how we called in advance. He then said: idk who you talked to but check in is at 3pm. Very dismissive. Thankfully he then checked to see if there was a room available which our room was ready (as we called in advance). He then said sorry for the confusion. But he definitely left us with a bitter taste. The rest of the staff was super nice and tried to help us with our luggage.

Samesun has been one of the best hostels I've stayed at in my life. The staff is so welcoming and the experiences I've had will last a lifetime I am very happy to be apart of the Samesun family. Thank you to all involved.
