I liked the possibility to do some event with host in the hostel, there are not to much bathroom but one of them is really big with toilet, blanket for clothes, bath and mirror it’s really convenient. There are also a beautiful lounge with guitar and beautiful decoration. It’s really good ! People are also very nice, there are a good travel communities and good ambiance.

The breakfast is really light and there are not enough place to put your food and securise that. The neighborough is not really safe and there are a lot of noise outside so you can hear that when you sleep but it’s still not to dangerous. I didn’t find a good market around to do my grocery.

I did a lot of comparing, reading reviews and going back and forth with where to stay while in San Francisco. I wanted a central location but also not too close to the ”less safer” areas. The room was small but comfy. The room was a bit humid throughout the day and warm at nights but the phan, that was already in the room, helped a lot. There was also a radiator ready to be used, if needed. The kitchen facilities were great and the breakfast was a nice plus. It is a basic breakfast with bread, eggs and oat müesli, but it gave a good start for the day, especially for someone who needs their breakfast as soon as they get up. Some of the reviews warned about noise coming from the streets and surely, if one is a light sleeper, they might need earplugs (available downstairs). I was actually surprised that it was not as noisy as I imagined. The building itself is very quiet and the noise from the streets was minimal to our room. The location was truly superb. The hostel is very accessible and close to the public transport. It is also at walking distance to pretty much everything. I felt safe in the area and I did not think that it was too close to the ”less safer” areas. There are grocery stores, department stores and shopping possibilities nearby. Cable car runs from a close by station and you’ll walk to Fisherman’s wharf in no time. WiFi worked like a dream. The hostel also takes care of the environment by recycling which is always a great thing. I liked the shower heads showing how much I have used water and how to keep my water usage in control. I truly recommend this hostel for short and long stays. I would most likely stay here again, if I visit San Francisco.

Highly recommended! Staff were amazing. I felt safe during my entire stay here. They have free simple breakfast (toast, coffee, tea, and fruits) which I really love. Kitchen is available if you want to cook. Ice machine and hot water is also available. They have a nice common space on the second floor where you can hang out if you want. There are plenty of nearby cafés, diners, fast-food restaurants, and convenience stores. Location is great as it is a few minutes away from BART Powell St. Overall, we had a pleasant stay here.

Elevator is under maintenance at the time of our stay but still alright.

Great hostel convenient to BART Powell St Station so easy to take BART (starts running before 6 am) to San Francisco International Airport and also to take BART to Richmond Station to take the Amtrak train to Modesto, CA and other destinations. Also a few minutes walk to Union Square and the cablecar (Hyde Park line which goes to Lombard St, for example). Buy a MUNI pass if going to use more than once. I also took the BART to Victoria Theatre for a show. Staff friendly, luggage storage available for free, and female 4-bed dorm with comfy beds/nice linens and big bathroom/shower/bath.

This hostel is clean, safe and friendly. There is a cosy international traveller feel and everybody says hello at breakfast. The breakfast is simple but served on time in the communal kitchen, where you can also cook and bring your own extras. You wash your own dishes. There is a "bohemish" lounge room where you can relax if jetlag keeps you awake out of hours. The staff is friendly and helpful. There is staff on the door/reception 24 hours. There is fast reliable internet. The rooms are simple but clean. Showers are warm and toilets clean. As a single female traveller, I felt safe and comfortable. The hostel provided bed linen and towels. When I visited many of the guests were visiting a large professional/academic conference, and there was a mixture of genders and ages, which also included younger holidaymakers. The location is convenient for the Moscone center, SFMOMA, and for catching the classic cable cars, or the vintage streetcars trams to the piers. It is an easy walk from the BART underground Powell Street station which connects directly to the SFO airport.

The hostel is situated in the city centre, and in all city centres, there is some expected level of noise. San Francisco has a big issue with homelessness and drug use and seeing people suffering in the streets in the city centre is a difficult experience. Although I was not feeling in any particular danger, and the people living in the streets seem to not engage with tourists, I did not feel totally safe and comfortable in the city centre. (This is obviously not the fault of the hostel).

Great price/value ratio, good size room and private bathroom, great location close by downtown SF and close to restaurants and shops, friendly staff, convenient kitchenette and laundry room

Overall, we were pleased with the room. The bath had an unattractive stain, which made it feel dirty (it's just an old stain that can no longer be removed), although the whole place was actually properly cleaned.

Worth for a short holiday. Good location to access public transportations to access touristic landmarks. The staff is nice and room is clean. Small but clean bathroom. Helpful escalator for luggage lifting. Open space for all guests.

The breakfast options were so limited, only bread, jam, butter, apple, and boiled eggs for all days. The bed was sagging and couldn't sleep well. No heater in the room. The room gets noisy early in the morning as very close to the parking building. Not sure if they change the blanket cover.

Location was great close to public transport and to Union square, homeless around but during the day was fine, bed was comfy and room was very clean and nice, staff was helpful

Not the hostels fault but I didn't feel safe to walk alone at night due the homeless

The room is big, the bed is very comfortable, the place is very well located close to public transportation and many restaurants/stores, etc. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The breakfast is bread, butter, boiled eggs, apples, coffee, tea, cereals, milk and jam.

The place is very noisy and the windows are thin. There were strikes and you could listen people screaming with drums from 4h till 22h everyday. Also cars, ambulances, etc. The hostel provides free earplugs, which were not sufficient to suppress the noise.

It was quite close to Moscone (10 or 15 min walk) and it was SUPER CLEAN. I did not expect that. Amazing. Aside from that it was quiet and comfy (great beds, pillows, proper duvet). I chose the private room and it was definitely enough for me and 2 friends if we were using it only for sleeping. For more time it might get a bit crowded, only a bed and two chairs to sit, also little storage space. another plus is close proximity to great diners (e.g. Pinecrest, Lori's)

Breakfast could be a bit better, maybe a bit more diverse, but still wasn't bad for a budget option. Hostel is placed a bit close to Tenderloin so we stumbled upon some unpleasant neighbours, but only a few.
