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 !

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!

Sunsets and Ocean Front Walks ...
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 ...

Personally prefer more firmer mattress, but overall value is more than what you pay.

Absolutely wonderful! Would definitely recommend. As a solo traveller, one of my biggest fears is finding a safe accomodation. Things aren't really as they seem online. But Samesun exceeded my expectations! I got a all women dorm and I shared it with a couple of other solo backpackers. It has been a wonderful experience.

Nice but noisey
High quality for a backpackers place and the building room had a lot of character. Staff friendly and helpful Fab location Noisy though, as I guess you would expect in a hostel type of accommodation. I wouldn’t stay again due to this but would be ok if you are heavy sleeper

I didn’t realize this was a hostel until after I booked it. It’s not terrible. A communal bathroom and shower is pretty clean. Steep stairs to get up into it.
