Great Location And Staff

Very helpful staff who obliged all reasonable requests. Comfortable lounge for dining and chatting. Great location near the beach and boardwalk. Would recommend staff-led meet and greets, and maybe trivia contests to facilitate communication and unity amongst the guests. Definitely recommend this property.

Nice find!

So this place shouldn't be slept on. Booked this place after cancelling a slightly more expensive place. The rate you in book is the rate you pay. Pretty straightforward just don't trash the place and you won't get an incidentals charge. You can pay seemingly any method just need a major credit card for the incidentals charge supposing you damage something. I guess you could consider that the "deposit" except they don't hold anything on the card. Stayed for one night, woke up and took full advantage of the free Continental breakfast. Its free, basic and decent. Bagels, tangerines and toast are offered. They provide butter, cream cheese, little jellies and peanut butter. They have tea, hot cocoa and coffee as well, coffee is instant if that matters. They also have creamer, sugar and sweeteners. Im a big guy i had a top bunk and it was sturdy and comfy. Pillows are pretty small but not a deal breaker, blankets and sheets are provided and do the job to keep you warm. Definitely coming back. Good service from the front desk, bathrooms are clean, toilets and showers work well. They provide towels and wash cloths also.

Roger's review

I rented room 316. The room is modern and everything worked perfectly in the room. Plenty of fast hot water for the shower. Check in/out persons were very nice. All of the other persons renting rooms, I met walking up/down the stairs and in the breakfast area, were extremely friendly. Samesun is a totally FUN place to rent a room. I plan to rent a room again in the future.

Bring your shower shoes. This is my first trip staying at a hostel. It was on my bucket list lol and this location was so fabulous. I could not pass it up. Overall, the staff was friendly. The rooms were clean. Bedding was clean. Breakfast was decent. Bathroom and showers are shared so bring your shower shoes and you will be good to go. If you happen to be staying here on a Sunday at sundown, I step outside to see the electric light parade of bikes lit up and music blasting it is quite spectacle.

Aucun service. Petit déjeuner où on doit faire la vaisselle !! Une chambre double avec salle de bain privée, plus cher qu un hôtel, peut être bien pour une auberge de jeunesse, mais pas au prix payé ! Situation idéale proche de la plage.

Nice ocean views

Front desk staff was hit or miss. The day person was very friendly and helpful but the night person was kinda rude and dismissive. The room itself was normal, with nice ocean views. Toiletries and towels were provided, possibly only because I had a private room. The room floor was kinda dusty though so it is recommended to walk around with sandals or socks. The linens were clean but the mattress and pillows were terrible. I appreciated the luggage storage at no additional cost and the lounge looked ok. I did not use the kitchen nor ate the complimentary breakfast. The hostel is in a very noisy area surrounded by loud bars with rowdy crowds, but this is expected given the area. Just not adequate for light sleepers or people looking for a peaceful stay. Guests come in and out of rooms all the time and you can hear all the conversations happening in the hallway and even other rooms. Once again, this is normal for a hostel.
