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!

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.

One of the Best!!
Definitely one of the best hostel experiences in the States. The vibe is super chill as are all of the people that I encountered. Great place to stay if while exploring San Diego.
