Since you’re visiting the City by the Bay, why not stay right on the waterfront? Located in historic Fort Mason, HI-San Francisco Fisherman’s Wharf is surrounded by National Park land on one side, and by the San Francisco Bay on the other. Just outside the hostel, take in breath-taking views of Alcatraz and the Golden Gate Bridge, then take an easy stroll to nearby Fisherman’s Wharf, Pier 39, or the posh Marina district.

To explore the rest of San Francisco, simply hop on a MUNI bus just outside the park, or join in on free or cheap hostel activities like pub crawls, walking tours, and museum visits. Heading further afield? Arrange your trip to Muir Woods, wine country, Yosemite, and beyond with our helpful front-desk staff.

Back at the hostel, relax on the sun deck, watch a movie in the theater-style cinema room, or curl up in front of the gas stove in our cozy communal lounge. Enjoy a free continental breakfast, including organic fruit and fair-trade coffee, at our on-site Cafe Franco. Later in the day, Cafe Franco serves homemade, organic lunch and dinner specials, as well as local beer and wine by the glass, to hungry travelers and locals alike. If you prefer to cook your own meals, a nearby supermarket makes it easy to take advantage of the hostel’s fully equipped guest kitchen and dining areas.

HI-Fisherman’s Wharf offers accommodation in shared dorms, as well private rooms sleeping up to 3 people.
On-site amenities include:
*Free Parking

“Wake up every morning and look out the window of the former military outpost at a million-dollar view of the beautiful Golden Gate Bridge in the sunrise there’s not a hotel in town, expensive or cheap, with a better view.

Please note that we cannot accept group reservations here on HostelWorld; for groups of 8 or more please call.

The staff were so rude when I arrived: made me pay for an extra night and blamed me for the mistake. The rest was fantastic! Breakfast could be improved over what other HI Hostels usually offer.

I’ve spent a lot of time in SF my whole life and the location is amazing. A little unnerving walking back at night the first time bc it’s dark and quiet but then you’ll find it peaceful. Everything is clean, excellent recycling/compost availability, and staff are so friendly and helpful. Would love to have lights and plug in at each bed and sometimes you have to wait for dishes if breakfast is busy. Otherwise, one of my best hostel stays!
