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.

First time staying at a hostel, needed to shower sleep and go. Couldn’t justify 300+ nightly for 2 days and 8 total hours in a room.
Check in easy, clean, shower private, like a dormitory in college.
