Dakota Hostel Reviews

I have already recommended and will continue recommending. Very good for the price and location. Nothing to complain.

Excelente localizacao. Quartos e banheiros limpos. Bom cafe da manha com paes, geleias, cafe, suco, frutas. So nao gostei de ter reservado um hotel e ter sido deslocada para outro. Otimo custo-beneficio.

We booked the Dakota but on arrival were moved to the Fitzgerald 2 doors down. The Fitzgerald didn't have a kitchen but we were allowed to use the facilities at the Dakota. The included breakfast was great.

Worst hostel I've stayed at. Our room had 10 ppl with only 6 tiny lockers. Had to climb over suitcases to get into bed. A guy in his 40s was kicked out twice for not paying but still ended up in our room at night as door was NEVER locked. Staff made recommendations based on their commission and told us "You can book that yourself. I'm busy atm" when they had no way of earning one No TV, luggage storage or laundry despite claiming that they do. This is only available if you walk to the Adelaide.

Location is good and this is pretty cheap dorm bed in the same location. The breakfast is very good too. I shall stay here again when I visit SF.

I signed up for a single room at the Dakota but they reassigned me to the hotel next door, the Fitzgerald. It was a nice hotel, very comfortable bed and very clean. Great location too, just 2 blocks from the main square. Definitely worth it.

+ free breakfast (bread,bagles,english muffins,jelly,peanut butter,NUTELLA,coffee,orange juice) + location (only few minutes walking from Union Square and the BART station) + very clean toilets and baths + the kitchen is very nice - my bed was not stable at all and it made loud soinds when I moved. That was kind of annoying for me and all the others in the room - if you want to party and meet a lot of people, this hostel is not the right place. It's more like a hotel

Good kitchen, friendly staff, nice clean rooms and bathrooms, and an awesome elevator. Not the most lively social atmosphere though.

Excellent!!!!

The place had a nice classic look to it. Good location if your looking to be social, not for a quiet night. There was bar and street noise throughout the night, but not to an extreme. Guests were all very friendly. My only complaint was the bed. I ended up on a bad one the first night and the front desk attendant seemed legitimately concerned. So that makes me feel that he will address it & that he would have helped w/ any other concerns. But we all felt the beds were extremely firm.

Excellent accomodation! Great location, great facilities. I only wish we got up earlier for breakfasts!

They have really nice and helpful staff, also showed me to tourist information, bus station etc. good atmosphere, choice between peace and quiet and partying, perfect location.

I had a private room which was good and clean. The owner is a very nice guy and breakfast was very good.

Good location, close to bus stops. Big common room. Kitchen was good and seems new. There is free tea coffee and toast and fruit.

Freindly laid back atmosphere - very helpful staff who told us where to go walking nd gave us free maps etc. and free internet. Overall very good, friendly place.

Very good, well located hostel. Beautiful new kitchen and good views from room ( i was on a high floor). Would definitely come back.

Loved my stay at the Dakota in San Fran. Very characterful old building, the lift especially! Good breakfast and the staff was great. Booked a wine tour at reception that was amazing, and could get everywhere in the city I wanted to go really easily. There are great bars and music venues within blocks which makes an easy walk back afterwards.
