i liked the dakota hotel a lot, but i will not be using hostelworld again. i was after a hotel room with four single beds, and that's what i booked. the hotel room had two doubles. you idiots cannot be trusted.

Very steep staircase will leave you winded if you stay at the top of the hotel. Hostel is blocks away from Union Square and China Town and you can easily catch a bus to any part of town. All in all would recommend because of good price and location, despite its more rustic aspects.

No safe in room, door didn't look like a good lock, strange bites in morning, possible bugs in bed!

there is a dusty and not very nice smell in the room, the floors are creaky, the windows cannot be locked and this made us feel very unsafe. also, the fan above us was really noisy and disturbed us very much while we were trying to sleep. we will not come to this hotel anymore next time.

The Dakota hotel... very good in SF, the staff was very kind and helpful, excellent location, a little bit noisy, but close to everything, has an old style elevator that add a kind of fun, also for 5 dollars a healthy dinner was served in its hostel partner around the corner. Teh experience was very good, and I highly recommend this place to stay in San Francisco
