The room and bathroom were somewhat clean. The kitchen and eating area were dirty as were the dishes since you clean the dishes yourself. If I would have known that, I would have washed the dishes prior to eating. Breakfast had good selections. Went on the pub crawl, which was okay, the guy leading it was a bit rude.

We stayed in a private room/bath and our room was awesome - clean, and had great amenities like a tv, mini fridge and microwave. The staff was friendly and helpful. And the environment was great. I was traveling with my best friend and we appreciated being able to participate in some of the outings that the hostel organized - it was a great way to learn about the city and meet some cool people. The location was also great - downtown and close to so much.

I had a really good time at this hostel (in a 6 bed female dorm). The design of the bunks and lockers is great - everyone gets 2 power outlets, a light and a bit of privacy in their bed and 2 more power outlets inside their locker. The free pancakes are a definite plus as well.

Helpful friendly staff, great security options including luggage check when you have to check out of the hostel but still have time to explore the city. Good breakfast and plenty of signage for guests to understand expectations of staying in the hostel.

Lovely staff, clean room (private room) and toilet and showers nice and clean. Only downside is for light sleepers like me, noise from dorm rooms and people in the hall as per the norm in most hostels - you may wish to bring earplugs. Otherwise great hostel with great breakfast and kitchen facilities.

Great place in a great location! The guests were mostly in their early 20's, but everyone was very friendly. It was clean, comfortable, and there was no shortage of water closets or showers. The kitchen is fairly large and makes cooking easy; all you have to do is supply your own food. The beds were comfortable, but I'm not picky, so take that with a grain of salt; your preferences may be different. Overall, I'll definitely stay there again.

Thank you so much for a great stay! It was beyond expectation. I've already read many good reviews, but it was way more than I expected. The service was great, the people who work in the hostel were so kind and helpfull. Great characters. The accomodation was perfect as well, located very convenient, I could just walk a few blocks to the busses and other public transportation to get around town. And the things (like the pubcrawl) that were organised let me to meeting wonderful new people.

This is one of the best hostels i've ever stayed at! They have really thought what people want when they travel and sorted it out - power points in lockers, screens to block light when in bed, free breakfast, great wifi, awesome night activities, great staff who were really happy to help book tours! I loved this place and would highly recommend it to anyone in san fran who wants to have a great time in a great environment!

This was the best hostel we stayed at throughout our trip in the USA. Fantastic facilities, rooms really clean and comfortable! They have a downstairs area which always has something going on. Rooms are set back off the hallway so you're not interrupted by people coming home late. Awesome location. Have nothing bad to say about this place. Wish we could of stayed here longer!
