About

Samesun at San Francisco is just a short walk from Fisherman's Wharf, home to our resident sea lion population and Pier 39. Sample some world-famous sourdough bread and fresh seafood, then hop on a cable car to Union Square. Walk back through Chinatown, visiting the home of the fortune cookie and continuing into North Beach, San Francisco's Little Italy, and the home of the Beat Generation. Just 4 (very steep!) blocks away from the hostel lie the twists and turns of Lombard Street. The Palace of Fine Arts and Golden Gate Bridge are visible from our balcony rooms, so long as the San Francisco fog isn't blocking the view.

Don't forget the colorful murals and taquerias of the Mission District or the shops and bars in the Castro, one of the first gay neighborhoods in the US. Wherever you wander in San Francisco's 7 x 7 square miles, just remember to bring a jacket for ever-changing weather!

Our hostel has spacious dorm and private rooms feature ensuite bathrooms, many with balconies. A rarity in San Francisco, Samesun SF offers free parking in our two on-site garages on a first come, first serve basis for guests. We offer a free grab-and-go breakfast for all of our guests.

One of the most beautiful and unique cities in the United States, San Francisco tops many travelers' bucket lists to visit. The Golden Gate Bridge, cable cars, and Alcatraz Island often come to mind, but strolling through San Francisco's diverse neighborhoods to admire the unique Victorian architecture and world-class dining always ends up as a visitor favorite. First, a Gold Rush boomtown, then the center of the hippie movement of the 1960s, San Francisco is now home to many of the world's leading tech companies.

I stayed in a private en-suite and it was perfect for my 3 day stay! Spacious bedroom and bathroom and the location was very close to everything I needed. It also has parking and that was a plus!

Best hostel I've been at so far. It's basically a hotel. Everything was super clean, great beds, great facilities. It's not a party hostel if you look for that, but it's a wonderful hostel if you just need a quite place to be in and even work a bit. Highly recommend it

Cleaning staff were great but the guys in the front desk need to work on their attitude. Location was great, security could be better, my door didnt have a lock. Not a very social hostel, good if you want a quiet and chill stay but nit so great if you’re trying to meet new people
