It was a nice hostel with nice people. They offered beach towels, sunscreen and some more things for free. They had vending machines and beach stuff for rent. The breakfast was ok and the kitchen was oretty well equipped. The women's bathrooms were nice but sometimes the showers stayed a little dirty for a few days.

Very convenient for a solo trip. Did have a private room but if a group is sharing it'd be convenient as well with a number of beds available. Place is super clean and very cozy. One could just relax with coffee available and nice patios to enjoy the moment. Very close to the beach and the area is to walk around with many coffe shops and restaurants, and bars nearby. I would definitely take it next time around I have a solo project. And If I go with company, it'd be also convenient with a private room. Staff is superb. I had an awesome check in experience (with a welcome tour!) and a nice chatting moment. Most may say it is just a coincidence but it could also be that it they're doing a great job. Can't point out more than it is a pristine place, maybe one of the most important aspects of lodging. Kudos to housekeeping! Restrooms,.though shared, it's not as though one has no bathroom available. There are some "solo" bathrooms as well. Very convenient. All in all, excellent place to land. Did I mention one has a chance to mingle with tourists of their places? I got a chance to use my Spanish with some folks from Argentina! and use my rusty French as well. Cool place.

Samesun is a great budget option! The staff were nice, very strict on the rules, but that was ok because it made it feel like a safe and controlled space. Everything was super clean, and it is very close to the beach. I would definitely stay again.
