Excellent hosteling experience

It was a hostel, and for a hostel it was very good. The privacy curtains are blackout curtains so they do a good job of keeping out the light. There’s a little sturdy metal shelf with a light and two USB charging ports and two grounded electrical outlets by each bunkbed. They provide sheets, blanket, pillow, towel. There are shampoo, conditioner and bodywash dispensers in the shower. There are some breakfast offerings in the lobby, including instant oatmeal and coffee, but also there are several coffee shops within like a one block radius, including one that’s basically next door. There’s a sushi place, a Ramen place, and a pizza place also within like a couple hundred feet. The room I was and had a good size balcony that overlooked the street. The air conditioner worked well, just make sure you control it at the thermostat. My only complaint is that the lockers were a little small. You could put valuables in there I would fit a laptop and an iPad, but no piece of luggage would fit in there (I guess the New York hostel spoiled me!) the front desk staff are very nice and attentive, they have luggage storage available for no charge as well. Oh and free parking??? You won’t find that like anywhere in San Francisco. It’s a little over a half mile from the really fun windy part of Lombard Street if you feel like taking a short hike to get your heart pounding, haha. Definitely a good hostel to stay in if you can deal with sharing a room with strangers.

This is located near a nice coffee shop and a Korean restaurant. The hotel is well maintained and the staff is friendly. It's a no-frills, but a clean, safe stay. I would recommend and would stay here again if I was in the area

If you’re just looking to hang out and meet people, this is definitely not the place for you. The hosts here act extremely rude and unwelcoming. Overall, the staff is very unpleasant. If you want to walk away with a bad experience — this is the place to go.

Great location and parking!

The experience over all was lovely. Great location, parking, breakfast, excellent guest services. My only dis is that there was mold on the bathroom walls in my room and some of the other walls looked like there was wallpaper hiding water damage. It was only one night for me so it worked well.

Room had everything we needed and was accessible. Hotel offers parking but limited spots on main level , additional in bottom level. Staff were extremely friendly! One downside is just the location , if you’re a light sleeper there is a lot of noise around the area but they do offer complementary ear plugs! I would definitely still stay there again!
