You need to know what to expect, but at half the price of hotels in the area, the Green Tortoise is a great option. The rooms are small, but clean; the shared bathrooms likewise.
All of the staff were extremely welcoming and attentive. There's a...More
Excellent place to stay! Great friendly and helpful staff. Good community feel with lots of areas to socialize and get to know other travelers. Good cost for the city. Would stay here again for sure.!!
Great place to store luggage $5 per piece - Took a cruise. Needed a palce to store my luggage. This place was great, luggage was locked up. Can store it 24 hours a day. Some of the other places only offer limited availability. For example...More
Green Tortoise was great. Everything a hostel should be. Hotel taxes, etc. make San Francisco not the cheapest city for hostels. GT makes up for it with the free massive breakfast, the weekday free dinners and general good+safe vibes. I also liked that the clientele...More

North Beach / Telegraph Hill
The aroma of freshly roasted coffee beans, the sounds of opera, and the sights of the romantic Italian ristorante come together to create the charming neighbourhood of North Beach, once the stomping grounds for the Beatnik Generation. Although parts of North Beach are known for nightlife that’s not always suitable for younger visitors, few neighbourhoods in the city exude as much European charm and style.

Peruse a bookstore for the literature of Kerouac, Ferlinghetti and Ginsberg, grab some gelato and head to Washington Square for a perfect afternoon of people watching. Just east of North Beach, the hills and staircases of Telegraph Hill are a unique delight. At its peak, the art deco Coit Tower provides sweeping panoramic views of the bay and city. The beautifully landscaped Filbert Street Steps, a street too steep for a roadway, rewards those willing to hike uphill. Keep your ears open and you might even hear the squawk of the wild parrots who call this neighbourhood home.

Hi, Thanks for looking us over. We do have a car park that we recommend they do a $10 discount for hostel guests so it ends up being $20 for a twenty four hour period beginning at 12 noon each day, this is for a regular size car - any SUVs and such are $30.
