Crappy place, that is why there still were some rooms left.

Excellent location, within walking distance of Powell subway and Bart station, Powell terminal of tram and San Francisco Visitor Centre. Lots of food choices around as well. Nice free DIY breakfast of waffles and cereals. Double room was a little small. But had TV and strong Wifi signal.

There are few minor things that bothered me (the keys are so small that i lost mine (we are in 21st century, use card keys!)), but the most annoying thing was having no sink in bathrooms. How is this possible? Isnt that against some sort of healthy code? I know for sure it is in Europe. I would also appreciate having power outlete inside locker rooms. Its kind of hard to power all your gadgets only when you are with them in the room. The kitchen and dinning spaces were also way too small.

The staff were extremely helpful. The hotel felt safe and was clean. The location could not have been better for our purposes. We really enjoyed our stay.

The hostel is very well located and generally clean. The blankets should have a cover, or be washed. All the blankets in my room were dirty and none of the guests were using them because of how dirty they were. Breakfast is free, but do not expect much, it is made of coffee, tea and waffles. All in all, it is an overpriced average hostel.

Really enjoyed the little things that helped make the stay memorable. For example, super friendly staff to give advice on restaurants, quality toilet paper, and being provided with a fan in the room.

The area has a lot of homeless people if you exit and go left. if you exit and go right then you are by shopping and other stores and attractions. The staff was very friendly once you get to know them, and each room \ common area is cleaned daily with ZERO MOLD which is saying a lot for a hostel. Inside the hostel is pretty tame, everyone just kind of sticks to their groups unless you meet some friendly solo travelers which was not hard.. It is a good place students and professionals.

For private room, We stayed 2persons but we received only 1 towel. Not enough for us. You should clean private room every day. Thanks!

Excellent location and very good value for money. Good breakfast, helpful staff and very secure. Rooms are big and organized, bathrooms fully functional and clean. At the heart of San Francisco's Downtown, within walking distance to MUNI subway, streetcar and bus service, very close to Chinatown and Union Square, it's crazy for how cheap you can get a nice room in this nicely renovated old hotel. Very comfortable, very safe, and like I said: location, location, location.

Very nice hostel, close to downtown. But at night maybe a loud.

I was over-charged for my one night stay by ten dollars. Iwas shocked to see the $33 charge on my credit card. Why?

Nice and clean. Lots of foreign visitors. Very friendly staff. had a very good stay overall. Leave some dirty laundry on your bed to 'claim' it. That way the housecleaners wont think you moved out, and take the sheets of your bed. Mattress was pretty comfy too. It's possible to leave the room doors unlocked -- if you are in a dorm style room, one of your roommates might leave the door unlocked when they leave. Breakfast is waffles, cereal, toast and 'tang' orange juice.

Quite nice!!!

It was a good hostel to stay in, location is pretty good even though Tenderloin (not good neighborhood/homeless) down the street to your left as you step out of the building. It was clean and quiet. There are no sinks in the bathrooms so you have to wash your hands in your room. Overall it was good, I will stay again.
