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.

Nice ocean views

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.
