Hostel is at perfect location in walking distance from all important must see atractions in San Francisco center. Staff is friendly and helpful and it was best place to meet interesting people from all over the world. It was fun to be at the top roof of hostel on BBQ, sorrounded with San Francisco downtown buildings by night. I would recomend the hostel to anyone.

I was only here for one night. The staff went above and beyond to make my stay comfortable and address my needs. I felt cared for. I slept in the girls room. I had the top bed and it was sturdy and fairly quiet as I went up and down. Showers had hot water, internet was fast for video calls, decor of the place very nice.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
