Samesun Venice Beach Hotel & Hostel

Very nice hostel in the heart of Venice Beach with a walkable distance to Santa Monica Pier. The hostel had a free little breakfast including bagels, cream cheese and juice. We had a private room with a shared bathroom. Plenty of bathrooms/showers always available and clean. Definitely value for money! The WiFi did reach into the rooms.

Loved that the hostel is within walking distance of the Venice Beach area, skatepark and workout area which were some of the main reasons I really wanted to stay at this location. My stay was during Thanksgiving holiday week, so was not as crowded even though it can be a high traffic area. What really made my experience great here were the awesome fellow hostel people I befriended and explored the beach and L.A. area with, good times! Staff were also available to communicate with and accommodating.

The location was excellent, right by the Venice Beach, within 2 min by walk. They had a kitchen with a microwave, fridge, cutlery, bowls, plates, toasters and a toaster oven, and also a lounge with tables and a sofa. The staff were very very friendly and always available. Overall it is a pretty good value with this location and this price.

It was right on the sea front so when we opened the curtains we could see the sea! 2 minutes walk and you were on the boardwalk with all the restaurants and bars. There are many bike rental places nearby so you can bike down to the pier. The car park is next door to the hotel and costs about £20 over night. Didnt use the group facilities nor have the breakfast as wanted to go and experience an American diner!
