Very helpful and friendly staff! Didn't expect a free breakfast (eggs, toast, jam and peanut butter). Also it was very cool that there are activities planned like barbecue on the roof, etc.

We loved the location very much. Its close to Fisherman’s Wharf. We felt safe to walk in the area at Night too. You Can see the Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz from the windows in the room. There is a free breakfast, which is a really nice option. They serve great coffee, which you Can enjoy while you enjoy the view. People were friendly. There was a good Vibe at the hostel. We didnt experienced to wait for the bathroom.

The staff was very nice and they made sure to give us a bedroom on the ground-floor, when they realised we had too much, heavy luggage. The room was very clean and spacious enough, with a very convenient private bathroom, also very clean. We do recommend this hotel for a couple of nights in beautiful San Francisco.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
