This is my first time at a hostel and i enjoyed being able to cook my own food and have my own place. There was no pressure to mingle. No one bothers you if you want to sit in the corner to read for the whole day.

Second visit experience

Samesun in Ocean Beach is a gem. Parking after 4pm is pretty easy to find. I've stayed at other hostels in SD and this is a HUGE issue. Mark was there at check in. He is clearly the veteran staffer and it shows. My check out was not as smooth. I am an early riser 5am. Morning staff dude was slow to make coffee and set out breakfast. Fussed at me for not stripping the bed. Had to make two additional trips upstairs to the room to complete what was asked...because he failed to provide clear instructions. I'm sure the other visitor was awakened each time. Next time I'll just get up and leave. Less drama and Starbucks has better coffee.

Location, Location, Location!

LOVE the centralized location of this place on one of the main strips in Ocean Beach! Had no reason to leave the area as everything was in walking distance with plenty of spots for food, drinks and the beach close down the street! Definitely interested in staying at this place in the future!
