Located in a really dodgy area (tour guide from a tour I did the day after I checked in literally told us to AVOID the area as it's quite unsafe!). I checked in early in the evening, still daylight, but as a solo female traveller, I have to say I felt pretty unsafe. Once I got inside, it was very... More

The house is quite close to city center and among the cheapest we found in SF. The main concern is safety in the neighboring area. Roaming the nearby area in the night should be avoided for safety. The rooms were okay. Not very cleaned but okay for a short stay. The kitchen was not maintained well and cleanliness was a... More

We stayed two weeks in a double room, which was defiantly too long. It wasn't the worst place I ever stayed at but there are some very big issues with this place, if you are only planing on staying two or three nights, its okay but any longer: Go somewhere else!! First the good things: Friendly staff, free wi-fi not... More

To begin with, this hostel is one of the cheapest in the city by far. As long as you go in with this knowledge, the place is honestly not bad. Neighbourhood- SOMA has some bad areas, but where the hostel is your will mainly encounter annoyances and hinderances by homeless asking for change. It does have some funky smells here... More

We are at the end of a RTW trip and have stayed in many hostels and budget places all over the world. This place was by far the most expensive and the worst we have stayed in. The first room that we were given was occupied. The second, which we ended up staying in for two nights, was small and... More

Location – Decent, handy to shops and transport. Very easy to get around the city from here. Staff – Were pleasant, but not very helpful and do not appear to care about the guests. The only staff member we seen outside of the office during our 7 night stay was the cleaning lady. When we asked one of the staff... More

Stay away. Avoid this place. Horrible ! Nasty management, filthy rooms, bugs, really weird people. You'd be better off sleeping in your car than staying here.

I ended up driving out there from out of state with a friend. We finally get up to San Francisco expecting a decent place to stay. Anyways we get to the hostel and we walk in and right away I got the feeling of anxiety and a nausea. It smelt like urine and pot, just like everyone else said. I... More

The best thing about this hostel is its location, from where bus stops and several sightseeing and shopping destinations can be reached on foot. Although the staff is polite and was willing to help me with my suitcase, as there is no lift and I had been given a room on the 4th floor, the rest of the hostel is... More
