Love staying here. The staff is friendly and helpful. Only concern was the rooms smell old and humid. Might be because the building is very old but overall great experience and location is very good.

I was a little hesitant to stay in a hostel cause it was my first time, but it was honestly great. All the people were super nice. The staff the guest. It’s like a big family once you are in the kitchen cooking and getting to know everyone sitting areas entertainment areas it’s a great place to stay. I had a private suite which I really enjoyed but the friends that I met there told me that the other rooms are really nice too

Best value for a hostel bunk in San Francisco. Consistent, the bunks are comfortable, and they have snacks and drinks for sale in the lobby, that’s a nice touch when you don’t have the energy to leave the hotel. Would definitely stay again.

Around 40 minutes from the airport and only a few blocks from the metro station. Everything you need is a few minutes walk from the hostel. Property is a great deal and was safe. Welcoming environment and everyone was respectful. Room was clean and working wifi. It’s great to see this type of hostel in the US.
