Samesun Venice Beach

"Stayed here for a night in the private room. It was facing inwards so no views here. It’s pretty ok for the price ($125 ish). And it even comes with breakfast bagels, protein bars, hot choc. Showers and washrooms are adequate throughout the floor, didn’t really have to fight for it. Lots of activities to do nearby too, especially around Venice Beach. Only downside is no free parking. We parked along Riveria Ave and walked about 8 mins over as Windward Cir is full. We then took a Waymo over to the car with our luggages the following day for $10. I’d rather pay for this than to pay for parking nearby. Parking cost is also variable. As of Dec 2025, the parking next door quoted us $40 for overnight parking. Overall this place has a pretty good price point & location!"

"❗️Best hostel experience EVER! Bleu was always friendly and helpful will guests! His patience is commendable! The entire (!) staff is eager to maintain a wonderful relaxing atmosphere and make shure guests have everything needed (and more)! The rooms and common areas are always clean and the kitchen is absolutely spotless. Guests have access to large fridge and Microwave. No drugs, smoking or vaping tolerated! Location is within minutes walk from muscle beach, skating area, board- and bike rentals. Will definitely return!!!"

"Perfect location, clean and quiet (i had a double bed room). I was just a bit sad not to have any natural light coming from the Window, but this is the price to have a quiet night I guess, plus, I was always out so it’s fine! Great breakfast"

"Had a long layover at LAX due to cancellation of a show. Decided to try this place. Price and location was perfect. Rooms were clean, comfortable, and bathrooms were clean. Met some friendly travelers in my dorm. Will definitely stay again next time I'm in town."

"I was hesitant after reading mixed reviews but overall I had an ok stay. Good value for money. Very clean and they have room service every day. I had a shared room, private bathroom, with ocean window views. It can get loud outside but it wasn’t terrible if you shut the windows and use earplugs which they provide at the front desk. Breakfast isn’t super elaborate but it’s nice to have some options. They have toast and bagels, oranges, and oatmeal. Cute little common room to eat and chill. Good location if you want to be close to the beach. As others have mentioned yes there are some homeless people around but that’s just LA. They mind their own business and I had no issue. But if you are looking to be in a less hectic area go for Santa Monica."
