Samesun Venice Beach

Laid-back Beach Vibes Just Steps from the Sound

Modern hostel meets California cool at Samesun Venice Beach, a budget-friendly stay right on the iconic Venice Beach Boardwalk. This relaxed spot is perfect for travelers who want to be close to the action—whether that’s a live show downtown or the buzz of Muscle Beach. With shared dorm-style rooms, ocean views, and a fun, social atmosphere, it’s a great place to rest and recharge between concerts.

Why Concert-goers love it

Location is everything, and Samesun nails it. You're only a short drive or ride-share away from many of LA's top music venues, and the 24-hour front desk makes late-night check-ins a breeze. After the encore, come back to a laid-back space where you can unwind. The hostel offers free WiFi, so uploading your concert clips is easy, and there's a chill communal vibe that makes meeting fellow music fans feel natural.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends looking for a social, wallet-friendly spot
• Solo travelers hoping to catch a bucket-list show and make new pals
• Couples who want a fun weekend near the beach and music
• Fans needing a quieter morning after a late night – the beach views help!
• Budget-conscious fans who’d rather save for concert merch

Food and Drink Options

You’ll start the day right with a free breakfast, which is especially appreciated after a night of dancing. While there's no on-site restaurant, Venice Beach is packed with walkable cafés and late-night bites. Plus, communal kitchen access gives you flexibility (and fridge space for leftovers).

Nightlife Options

While the hostel doesn’t host its own live music, it’s in the heart of Venice’s nightlife scene. Nearby bars and lounges offer everything from craft cocktails to casual beachfront hangs. If you're up for more music post-concert, you won’t have to go far.

What People Say

Guests love the unbeatable location, friendly staff, and the social atmosphere perfect for meeting other travelers. Reviews often mention the cleanliness of shared spaces and the bonus of free beach gear like boogie boards and paddle tennis sets. The ocean views from some dorms are a fan favorite.

Areas for Improvement

This is a hostel, so rooms are shared and bathrooms are communal. It’s not ideal for those craving luxury or solitude. Noise from the boardwalk can be noticeable, especially on weekends, so light sleepers might want to pack earplugs.

The Bottom Line

If you want a fun, affordable spot with beach vibes and easy access to LA’s music scene, Samesun Venice Beach hits all the right notes.
