Samesun is in the heart of the Ocean Beach scene and quite lively. Everything is in walking distance from the hostel. We had a private room with a bathroom. The community area was very clean. Other guests were respectful of everyone else. The staff was very friendly. It gets a bit noisy toward evening but everything quieted down after about 10 pm and we slept quite well. It is definitely a young crowd but we felt welcome . We enjoyed our stay there
