Worse service ever encountered
It was the worst stay I could ever imagine. As I finalized 24h on the road from Europe to Toronto and had a business call to attend I kindly asked them if we could to the parents and the check in later since I was so late already in my meeting.
They asked me for my passport and I gave it to them and also my card which I thought they wanted an other id but turns out they wanted the credit card. They just mentioned the card wasn’t passing and it most be a fake card and they won’t let me check in.
I than stated impossible it’s not working since I’ve done many countries with the same card without ever having an issue.
They got offended since I was answering to them and acted as if I had been the worse customer. They refused me saying I would cause issue since I couldn’t properly understand what they wanted from me and handed me an all ready paper with the hostels around to go take a night. As if all this is a recurrent activity of theirs to refuse people and tell them to go see elsewhere.
Worse customer service, attitude I’ve seen in my life.

For short stay
It was okay. Initially I had a shared room but another guest was extremely noisy when snoring so I asked to be changed to a private room and staff helped me. Perhaps they are not the nicer people you usually encounter working on hostal, they were not rude but diligent.
The negative side is the reduced amount of washrooms per floor which is one for each gender (1 urinal + 1 toilet). Plus, I had my room beside the washroom and every time people flushed the toilet or turned on the dryer, it would trespass the wall

Might be a bit unsafe for people alone late at night. I (single female traveller) was harassed by a few people sitting outside/ on the street but not threatened or anything. Otherwise, really cool and central location and nice and clean, good operation systems in place and I would stay there again.

Samesun ran good activities daily for guests and had catered well for gluten and dairy free options for continental breakfast. Well equipped kitchen, however, kitchen can't be used during breakfast hours. Showers were small and beds squeaky, but I would still stay here again.
