I’ve stayed in many hostels, but this was the best hostel I’ve ever been to. The view to the golden gate is like from a movie and the place is just so charming. The staff was absolutely lovely too. I’ll be coming here again❤️

My stay at Fisherman’s Wharf hostel was definitely an amazing experience for cost and location. Minutes walking from a good bus hub, 10 minute walk to the cable car. The main part of my choosing of this hostel was of course the unobstructed views of the Golden Gate Bridge! One difficult part is this is a far cry from being a “youth” hostel. The older crowd were a majority of the residents which made connecting a little difficult for a 22 year old as most were over double my age.

We are very happy to stay at the HI in San Francisco. The location was wonderful and allowed us to visit the city from a convenient starting point. The staff were gracious, polite and very helpful in answering questions. I loved learning about "Carl". The facility was clean and our accommodations comfortable. We felt safe inside and our car was safe outside with nice parking nearby. Visiting with people from varies parts of the country/world was a big plus. We would stay here again!
