In general a great hostel. Great location, clean, nice breakfast. I slept well but the bed was squeaky and for those who like to self cater the kitchen is very small. There is only one stove so it can be a challenge to find a time to cook a meal. Stayed February 2026 so can only imagine what peak summer would be like

Absolutely loved staying at the Samesun! Beaver Bar is fantastic, the food and drinks are cheap and its the best place to make friends through the nightly activities - definitely an essential for anyone travelling solo!! Beds were comfy and the rooms are spacious and cleaned well. Would definitely come back.

First time at a hostel, I was quite overwhelmed until I entered the building. Staff is friendly and very welcoming, the rooms are quite basic but very clean. Highly recommend brining ear plugs and possibly an eye mask. The bar is awesome for meeting new people as everyone is not afraid to chat. Food is great and the complementary breakfast was convenient. The laundry service is a bit pricy but they do all the work for you. 10/10 will be back again!

This might be the worst hostel I’ve ever stayed in. The room are not much better than a homeless shelter, and the other guests are on par with the hostel. The noise is brutal, and not overly clean. Check-in was simple, and the staff was polite and courteous. Location is on the Main Street, close to restaurants and grocery stores.
