Reviews

Room was really nice and clean however it was lacking a few things like a rail/wardrobe, air con etc. it was also extremely loud outside as our room was 2nd floor on a busy intersection, this was doable with ear plugs however we definitely wouldn’t have been able to sleep with the window open it was hot. It’s a great location for all the transport you need to get around the city, the kitchen is quite spacious which is good. On our last day we wanted to store some bags and were met with a 5 dollar charge per person, this seems really quite unfair when we had already paid to stay there and the cost came out of the blue.

We had a very nice stay. Different from what we are accustomed to beings it is a Hostel. But everything was good and we have no complaints!
-
Perfect for a solo traveler! This hostel is very affordable and safe, especially thanks to the 4-person female dorms. The common areas are perfect for meeting people and having a good time. I had an excellent week-long stay in the heart of San Francisco and it was good quality for the price of the stay.

They have a kitchen in the common area along with industrial fridges to store your food. Elevator is old and moved slowly so if you're in a room on the fifth floor, be prepared to walk 5 flights lol. They sell amenities and snacks at a reasonable price (a little more expensive but not crazy). If you live in the Bay area don't bring your car. I made that rookie mistake and paid 40 a day. You can get a voucher and lower this price by 8 bucks I believe it was. Chill vibe. Fun guests. Good staff.

location, well-equipped kitchen 4-bed dorm is very small.

The lap top lounge is a thoughtful amenity. Really surprised to find it. Most other hostels do not provide one The sink is in room and the room is carpeted. This make the floor seems hazardous

Exceptional

Central location close to many restaurants and public transpo A bit worn down compared to published pictures. Earplugs didn’t help much with the outdoor noise.
-
Great location. Clean rooms with comfortable beds. Bathrooms were also clean with plenty of hot water. The kitchen was modern and well stocked. Blazing saddles bike rentals offers a $24 dollar, 24hr rental for guests. I highly recommend this hostel!

I mean it’s a hostel, so nothing fancy - but an incredibly cosy vibe. Really enjoyed my stay. Not in the best part of town, but I felt safe there with the locked door, staff at the front desk, and always people about.
