HI San Francisco - City Center

We absolutely loved this hostel! Very cool interior with lots of different spaces to hang out! Great breakfast too! Only comment I would make is that there are a couple of blocks of rough streets close by to avoid when heading towards Union Square..which we didn't know until we found out the hard way while walking back to / from the hostel.. maybe the staff could warn people when they arrive? But otherwise a great experience and we would love to come back one day! :)

The hostel itself has been really nice! It was tidy, clean, nicely decorated, a lot of comfy chill out areas, a bar, coffee and tea have been available the whole day for free and the breakfast was nice as well. The staff has been super friendly and helpful. However, the area of the hostel is a bit bizarre. It’s not dangerous, but we felt a bit uncomfortable walking past the homeless and it has definitely not been the nicest welcome. If you can handle this, the hostel is a good catch for you :)

Best hostel in the worst place. Felt safe but wasn’t to keen to leave after dark.

Lovely hostel! Very clean and comfortable (but small) rooms and cosy beds. Staff were super friendly and made sure that you had everything you needed. I rang the day before checking in as I had read the reviews about the location and the gentleman I spoke to (unfortunately didn’t catch his name) was so lovely and made me feel a lot better. I didn’t have any issues about the location when I was actually there so don’t let that put you off but still be vigilant!

I personally did not feel the location was an issue at all. I went out to a few bars during my stay and walked back through middle of tenderloin by myself at 2am and had no problems. I have stayed at 3 different hostels during my time in San Francisco and this deffinatley had the best atmosphere in terms of travelers and hostels. Extremely clean facilities and the decor is awesome. Great location, abit pricy but we are in San Framcisco after all!

Needs bathrooms improvements

The facilities are Ok, but the hostel is located in a very creepy place as you cannot walk around without see people doing drugs every 2 meters, just when we arrived someone was smoking from a sort of pipe just on the front door of the hostel, and needles all around the place. Not a nice place to stay for location, but if you don't mine the feeling the facilities are correct, quite overpriced for this location

fantastic will stay when going back in about 18 months time

Area was a little sketch but i felt at home whenever i was chilling at the loft. Would come here again. Enjoyed the stay very much

Such a cool building with so many interesting things! The bar area is super convenient to meet people in and the staff were very friendly too. Only downside is the area but it’s only a very short walk to some really nice areas too so don’t let that put you off.
