    The shower was great, very modern and powerful. The location was ideal for Chinese town and not too far to get taxi to pier for Alcatraz so was quite cheap. You can walk but it was very early when we left and had to be there at 8am. Bed was super comfy and there was a coffee maker in the room

    I really enjoyed my stay at this hostel. It’s in such a good location that feels very safe and is close to lots of good pubs/restaurants as well as lots of beautiful walking paths with ideal views of the city, Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz island. The staff were all really friendly and the rooms were very clean.

    It suited our budget. Excellent location...easy walk to Fishermans Wharf and Peir 39 and close to restaurants and bars on Columbus. Good public transport links. Hotel itself is old and the room we were in was small, but it was clean and comfortable. The shared amenities were spotlessly clean with plenty of liquid soap,shampoo, etc. The Reception staff were friendly and helpful. All in all, we enjoyed our stay and if visiting San Francisco again, would happily stay at the San Remo again.
