Samesun Ocean Beach

This is the best place I've stayed for a long time. I loved it in every way I can remember, and I agree with all the 5-star reviews about it.

As a "people oriented" person I was very impressed about the vibe in general and, especially, the quality of the staff members. On this aspect - besides the fact they are very nice and competent people - what impressed me the most was their freedom, disposition, ability, and willingness **TO MAKE DECISIONS** in order to help the guests in every way they can. In my experience, this is a rare event, and makes this place unique.

Staff members like Chris, Koa, Mark, Erik 1, Erik 2, Aly, Brendan, and a few others I can't recall their names right now (I apologize for that), along with some very cool guests, made my stay absolutely amazing!

I can't finish this very personal review without saying that I owe a debt of gratitude to Chris for, unbeknownst to him, helping me in very meaningful ways.

Been here only 6 hours and already extending our stay. Fantastic staff and patrons. Chill vibe.

All great, what a gem

Terrible business experience! Came to Ocean Beach looking at properties for my company The Rent Place LLc. and had to leave a bit early for Mexico because I needed updated passport and special documents to look at a home in Ensenada for my business. I left my bags stored at hostel not correctly but assumed it would be no big deal. When my check out date came I was unable to call due to lacking service. I got back about a week later, and spoke with a gentleman at the front desk who let me access my bag verify everything was there move things around and change clothes, left for breakfast. Upon returning, the girl at the front desk, presumably first shift, let me know my leaving early and leaving bags was a huge risk, and I will be trespassed from hostel and need to leave now. I had a busy day and stored my bags somewhere where my work laptop and clothes ended up missing or stolen. It's not that I care that I can't ever stay here again I just would never want anyone to go through that.

Staff it's not very hostel friendly, more like a hotel style organized hotel!! Used to be best hostel in SD but not anymore.
