HI San Francisco - City Center

Have an area to drink your own alcohol. Hostel activities that dont refer you to another hostel. Price that reflects the neighborhood. Common area open after 12.

Location is really not the best- there are a lot of dodgy people around in the area. I would not recommend this area to people travelling alone or female travellers. The hostel itself has a really cool atmosphere and I liked the decor. The breakfast is really amazing, you can have free bagels or add $1 to get pancakes or eggs.

Nice place to stay and close to most of attraction about 30 mins walk.

Although the hostel and the staff were good, the location of this place is enough for me to not want to come back. It’s in an area called the Tenderloin( locals refer to it as the TL) and has an extreme problem for homelessness and crime. We did not feel comfortable walking around at night, but Uber and lyft were very easy to get. You also can’t have your own alcohol in there.

Excellent, friendly staff and comfortable accommodations, safely tucked in the tenderloin. I'd stay again!

This was our first time in a hostel and that part.was fine. What we didn't like was the location of the hostel. We felt very unsafe at night with the homeless on the streets near the hostel.

Homeless are not a real issue if hostel instructions and advice are followed

Very good breakfast (=

We had such an awesome stay and even after check out they let us store our bags no charge so we could Adventure our final day. Super helpful staff. Best hostel and nicest by far that I have stayed in my travelling experience.

It’s an awesome hostel, I always trust in Hi Hostels but this one should be moved , it is one of the worst neighborhoods in SF
