The room is clean and quiet so far, but the pillow is too flat, making it a little uncomfortable. Additionally, the table and chairs are insufficient for 4 people in a dorm, so I have no place to put my personal items except on the ground, as they are already occupied by previous residents. However, overall, it's a good experience that exceeds expectations, especially with breakfast included.

Friendly staff. Tiny lobby, but large patio. Good private room with balcony. Unfortunately parking garage was full and we secured a spot on the street. But car was broken into via smashed window, ransacked, jackets and other items stolen. We asked for extended checkout to take care of things and police report etc and they offered extra 15 minutes. Disappointing.

Everything was clean, the staff is helpful and the people I met in the common area's are very open and welcoming. I enjoyed my stay here, close to the waterfront and close to the city center. I felt safe going to the store (safeway) after dark from the hostel. Also the view from the balcony with the bridge is a nice plus!

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.

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.
