    The hostel is brand new, so everything is clean and undamaged. Not many guests yet, so the place remains quiet and clean. A good solution for beds (curtains and walls), maintains privacy. I didn't notice I spent 6 nights here because it was super comfy. Whole foods is two blocks away, you can buy healthy cooked food there, very convenient, pricey but still cheaper than restaurants.

    Great hostel. The room was very clean with nice decoration. Every bed has its own drawer where you can place your suitcase and luggage with a padlock. The kitchen and common areas are very nice with good space and a lot of places where you can charge your phone or whatever you need. Great location, you can walk to different places like union square.

    This was a great hostel to stay in. The rooms were large and well equipped. They were also very quiet especially given the downtown location. The hostel is really well situated and there was an excellent breakfast on offer. The hostel was very clean and welcoming throughout.

    The property is charming, as well as the host. Breakfast was delicious and varied. Situated in a quiet lovely neighbourhood, this location was central and perfect for me, as I needed to be close to the Presidio.

    Great hostel. We booked a private room which was large and relatively quiet. Shared bathrooms are kept clean and common areas look nice. Location is really convenient to explore San Francisco, and the immediate neighborhood is completely fine including at night. Friendly staff
