Against my previous experience with a hostel, Samesun blew my expectations out of the water. It was lovely being there, everyone was so nice, the place had a modern feel, was clean and the staff were lovely.

A lovely hostel in a great location! Sometimes hostels have a lot of rooms, and very little space for all of those guests to hang out. However, Dancing Bear Inn was perfect. There weren't too many guests, and there were plenty of different areas to sit and hang out which was great! Our room was really bright and comfortable, the whole hostel was very clean and all of the staff were amazing and super friendly.

We stayed in one of the private rooms and it was very clean, spacious, and had really comfortable bed/bedding. The shared bathrooms were close to all rooms and I never once had to wait for a shower or toilet. The free breakfast was surprisingly good! I think some of the poor reviews are from before they renovated this was a great hostel. Highly recommend also for people other than backpackers who need a budget place to stay for an event in Van

The location was great and the staff were very friendly. They took me for a tour of the Hostel so I knew where everything was. The beds were very comfortable and everything was very clean. I felt very safe as I know people have the misconception that hostels are unsafe.

For the money, the location was dope. Within walking distance to everything we needed. Hostel offered plenty of advice on cheap things to do in Van and how to meet other backpackers.
