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!

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 !

Prime Location with a Beach Vibe
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.
