i stayed here while on a solo trip for a concert & largely really enjoyed my stay!!!nndefinitely a fun area - i've wandered around kensington before on a past trip & had no idea i'd walked right by here. lots of eclectic local food spots in the immediate area including loads of veggie options for me lol. plus the streetcar stops quite literally a minute away, so transit is easy.nnthe hostel is modern feeling & clean the dorms themselves, common areas, shower/washrooms, halls, etc, i like that breakfast is included, + wifi!! also that the beds have privacy curtains i've noticed some hostels don't. lockers are available in the dorms for your things as well you bring your own lock.nnjust a couple things - 1. the hand soap was empty in the washroom on my floor throughout my stay, so it was a bit awkward running over to the shower room to get soap whenever i went to wash my hands. there also wasn't soap/body wash in the showers. 2. i do wish a commons space was open at night, just w/ a sign saying to respect quiet hours etc - i grabbed takeout on my walk back after the concert, & had nowhere to really eat it when i came back so that was also a little awkward. and 3. i didn't see a drinking fountain/bottle refilling machine, & the breakfast didn't have drinks besides coffee/tea - maybe one of those bottle refill machines, or a vending machine, by the dorms would go a long way. i ran out of my water i brought & was thirsty/regretting not getting a beverage when i came back after the show haha none of that's a huge deal, just figured it was worth mentioning as suggestions etc!nni'd definitely stay again, and would recommend as a safe + budget friendly place for a solo traveler!!
A well located place for a brief period. Good breakfast included, bed comfortable and bathroom cleaness. The staff was not very useful and I had to find the room and the amenities by myself. Shared room very small.
I found my stay to be comfy! I booked a private room, which was super roomy, quiet, clean, and had everything I needed. The staff was very accommodating and I was able to book my Niagara Falls tour upon check in. I had a great time, the stay was in a convenient location, and I didn’t want to leave :’
We had such a lovely stay at Samesun! The beds were super comfy - we stayed in the 6 bed female dorm. The staff couldn’t be more helpful or friendly. They even made us an early takeaway breakfast before our flight. Lovely common room and dinning areas. Lockers in the rooms if you bring your own padlock. The showers were big and clean. The locations was super easy to get into the city from - we got the streetcar most days.
Stayed in a private queen room, and room was big, bed was very comfortable, and AC was cold : Hostel is safe, clean, and close to a streetcar stop, and staff are friendly. It was also nice to be able to store our luggage before check-in/after check-out.
