I booked a room with a bunk bed and when I arrived the lady at the front desk said it was wasn’t available. I was with a friend so we needed two beds or at least a bigger bed. She gave us a room with a single bed half the size of a twin bed. She told us we could get a refund so we went upstairs to gather our belongings and when we came down she said “we can’t give you a refund at this time.” So the lady took down my number and told me I would receive a call about my refund soon and I never received the call. She was pretty rude and didn’t even apologize for the inconvenience. Horrible experience.

It's a hostel, not really a hotel. Very noisy, you can hear everything that happens in the other rooms, and on the street. It is what you pay for. Earplugs are a must. Other things were ok, and there was free coffee in the lobby.

The whole place smells musty and gross, the showers are nasty (I'm pretty sure there was mold), the rooms are tiny, beds are loud and not super comfortable, and our room didnt have a mini fridge and there isnt a communal one. If you are desperate for a cheap place to stay and don't plan on staying in the hotel much, its not the worse place to stay, I guess lol... the only good thing is the location. Its a very good central area, but honestly I'm not sure its worth the price evn if its one of the cheapest places in San Fran.
