Samesun Venice Beach

Samesun Venice Beach is one of Los Angeles’ most atmospherically located and internationally beloved budget hostels, situated at 25 Windward Avenue directly on the famous Venice Beach Boardwalk, steps from Muscle Beach, the Venice Skatepark, and the vibrant drum circle that draws performers and spectators daily. The hostel occupies the historic St. Charles Hotel building, the oldest hotel in Venice, originally constructed in 1905. It offers 48 rooms including dormitory bunks and private rooms with free Wi-Fi, air conditioning, and select ocean view options. A complimentary daily breakfast is provided. Bicycle rental is available on site, allowing guests to cruise the Marvin Braude Bike Trail from Santa Monica to Redondo Beach. Towels and basic linens are supplied. The 24-hour reception is staffed by a friendly team providing local area guidance, beach activity recommendations, and sightseeing coordination. Venice Beach’s Abbot Kinney Boulevard — consistently ranked among America’s coolest streets — is a nine-minute walk, lined with independent coffee shops, concept boutiques, art galleries, and farm-to-table restaurants. Santa Monica Pier and the Third Street Promenade are a short bike ride north. Samesun also operates the Samesun Hollywood Hostel on the other side of the city for guests exploring both neighborhoods.
