Super close to the beach and a grocery store right across the street!

Everyone is so nice. Convenient for shopping, dining and an evening out.

I stayed at Samesun for 4 night. They had 24/7 reception which was great for security and late flight times! The location is right on the beach , giving a chiller Venice beach vibe. The workers make sure the place stayed clean, I see them cleaning every morning ! The workers had great hiking and food recommendations. The only thing I wasn’t a fan of was overall environment. There were some young groups who were just like me looking to explore new places , but there is also a wide range of people who are staying long term and are not permanently housed outside the hostel. Some of these individuals made it really hard to relax inside the hostel, I made sure to keep busy and stayed exploring. They made me feel super uncomfortable when I tried to relax around the hostel. At night it would get super rowdy within the hostel , i would hear a lot of banging. There was an obvious divide in guests where most of the people I met there were just as uncomfortable as me with the guests that were staying long term and even decided to leave early because you could not relax within the hostel it’s self. I was lucky to meet two amazing people , but I’m not sure Samesun is the environment I was looking for. There was great potential for the environment to be welcoming and friendly , it was already done by the workers and the LGBTQ community inclusion. The guest demographics was not at all as expected in the social media posts, but thank you for the memories and the walkable neighborhood

This property was wonderful! Staff and guests were nice. Very clean and safe. Chill atmosphere, welcoming. I would stay there again.

Awesome place and a great location. Great vibe, everyone was friendly and respectful. Felt welcomed and safe. Would recommend!

Great hostel. Newly-renovated, great staff and awesome facilities. Bed was quite squeaky and lacked privacy curtain. Loved the young lady at front desk as well as the helpful friendly Latin guy. Kudos to them. Energy bars pancakes and fruits at breakfast. Loved the hammock, couches, surfboard rental, beach towels rentals and availability of sunscreen.

It was a friendly atmosphere and close to the beach

Great place! great people! always a good time!

Great stay Location and staff always the best

This hostel is great. So close to the beach (OB). A lot to offer close by:restaurants, laundromat, drugstore, grocery store souve ir shops,... the staff is really nice and very helpful. Would definitely stay here again.

Great staff, cultivating a culture of fun and acceptance in the property

This hassle was surprisingly wonderful. Obviously it was affordable, but the amenities were better than I expected with breakfast including waffles,, pancakes, fruit, coffee and granola bars. The location could not be better for proximity to all the fun things in ocean beach. It also offered people watching at its finest. I recommend this hostel and plan to come back again.

Near the ocean, sunset, and Polynesian dance troupe on the beach.

People are great, property is very cool- will b back-

Room was very thiny. It was stuffy

Amazing hostel in San Diego

My 2nd time staying at Samesun Ocean Beach. Both times were great!

Wierd people when you walk down the street

Communal feel and good energy. Breakfast and space was okay, not as good as Samesun Vancouver. The communal areas could use an upgrade.

Most impressive hostel I’ve ever stated in

Great location!

This was my 2nd stay! Love the location, the wonderful atmosphere and the friendly staff!

Great property, great location, great staff.

Hostel was well-kept and the bathrooms and kitchen were always clean. The lockers in dorms could be bigger, I would’ve liked more space to lock things up. 6 bed dorm felt too small and crowded with everyone’s bags and suitcases on the floor. It was ok for a short stay but I wouldn’t choose it again. The hostel is good option if you want to be seaside, it’s only steps away from the beach. Just know that without car you need to be catching buses or Ubers to go anywhere in San Diego, it’s not walkable to other neighborhoods that might interest visitors.

Their is no seperate AC , so it was a little hot. However location is really great to go to beach and pier. I can see sunrise in my room too.

First stay at a hostel. Super great.

I love this hostel. The staff is always so friendly and accommodating. It’s very clean and super close to the beach/shopping/events. I’ll be back

Located in the heart of everything Ocean Beach. Friendly, helpful staff.

Good location

So colorful and cute.

My girlfriend booked me 10 days at Samsung and they got huffy about not having a debit card on file for incidentals. Which I get if your the Hyatt Regency and I offered to put up a cash deposit....there's literally nothing in the rooms that you could break. Bunk beds and a sink. They told me I had to leave 3 days into the 10 day stay and we never got our money back for the 7 days I didn't stay there. For a bunch of hippies, they were a giant hassle and not super-chill.

I had a wonderful time staying here. I will be back!
