Facing the beachfront, Samesun Ocean Beach Hotel & Hostel offers 3-star accommodation in San Diego and features a shared lounge and terrace. Among the facilities at this property are a shared kitchen and a 24-hour front desk, along with free WiFi throughout the property. The accommodation provides an ATM, and luggage storage for guests. This is an excellent hostel. The environment is very good. I really enjoyed the breakfast and that there were both coffee and tea during the whole day. The kitchen is well equipped, the only thing that lacks is a proper owen (there are two micro). The storage box under the bed is excellent.
