FAQ about hostels in San Francisco
Hostels that guests love in San Francisco
- Scored out of 10, guest rating 9.2Wonderful - What previous guests thought, 593 reviewsGreat location, lots of daily activities and recommendations for things to do in the area. Something they do that I haven't seen any other hostel do is the bunk beds are attached to the walls. That means they don't move around or make a noise which is a big positive if you have a restless sleeper in the bed above or below you. Overall it is a quiet hostel during the nightGuest review byJeffSolo traveler
