Second hostel I visited in my trip.

Overall, good atmosphere, and great location. Amenities were nice, and got to meet nice people there.

I stayed in a shared room with bunk beds. Lockers are limited and smaller than what they should be. A carry on does not fit in there. A loaded backpack barely fits if you push it. There was a mess all over the room, everyone had everything all over the place. It was not really clean inside either. And there was someone who slept all day and got to be more active all night. I would have appreciated being changed to another room, honestly.

As for the rest of the installations… hallways were clean as well as common areas. I believe the bathrooms are not cleaned every day. I stayed 3 days/2 nights. Always used same stall and same shower. The 3 days the stall had the same cookie leftover/crumbs in the same spot, and the shower room had someone’s towel on the floor the whole time too. That’s proof that the staff doesn’t clean the bathroom daily. Which is a sanitation issue.

Other than that… great location, atmosphere and very friendly staff! That was my favorite thing about this place.

Second time staying there and it was better than the first. Staff was friendly and helpful. Bathrooms were top notch. And the location was spot on with so many restaurants and the beach. 10/10.

I love this hostel and have been using them for a few years now. Unfortunately, I've noticed a decline in the cleanliness during my last few stays. A few of the bathrooms, including the stalls in the women's restroom, were out of toilet paper. I'm not sure what changed but I do recall they had a cleaning crew that would clean the hostel in the mornings. Not sure if that is still being done.

The room was clean the stuff was so helpful and respectful. Breakfast was great the offered waffles and packs of oatmeal coffee & tea. Even after you check out you can still hang out until 6pm go to the beach come back and shower. I’m definitely coming back I encountered so many different people every one was so nice. My belongings were safe I didn’t have any isssues with parking was a great adventure

Super convenient location easy walk to lovely Beaches. Shopping, dining and entertainment right on the same block. Easy access to public transportation to get anywhere in the city. Staff is awesome and accommodating and friendly. Lots of fun hanging out in common areas with other guests.

Very clean, comfy bed, cozy blanket, friendly & personable staff, free parking was hit or miss as far as proximity but usually available within a block or two from the facility. I didn't see their breakfast but the kitchen was nice and usually available if you want to cook yourself something for lunch/ dinner. Love that it's a block away from the beach and soo many food & shopping stores.

This place was honestly amazing! The staff was extremely helpful even if you didnt get the same person each day. The hostel is in a prime location that cant be beat for the price. The other guests that stay are very cool if you are up for a conversation. I would 10 out of 10 recommend to any of my friends. Will definitely be back.

This hostel is right on the main street in Ocean Beach so parking is a bit of a hassle but it was easy enough to find street parking around the block. There's plenty of restaurants to eat at locally and 2 places close by to get food (a Target and a grocery store). Samesun OB doesn't look exactly like the online photos but it was still really nice with plenty of spaces to hang out in and socialize or just sit quietly and read a book. I loved the laid back vibe. The staff was great, the guests really friendly and I felt safe staying here with my 16 year old son. If I go back to San Diego I would stay here again.

Best hostel in OB. Great service for the price and has all amenities you need. They are in the perfect location on Ocean Beach and have many food/shopping options in a walkable distance. My only complaint is that you never know what roommates you get. My first night was perfect and quiet but the second night- I was roomed with someone who stayed up late with the light on and a woman who kept coughing horribly. Coughing so much- I woke up multiple times. The breakfast is also not much of a breakfast other than oranges and a granola bar. It’s nice that it’s available tho :) thank you! The staff is very nice and the place is a vibe.
