The location in North Beach. Loved the wonderful cityscape view of skyline the Transamerica building...Free breakfast and coffee- what's not to love?:) Clean, private, well stocked bathrooms on every floor. Washers and dryers if you need them. Sauna! Large common area with lots of seating arrangements. One

Great location next to North Beach with tons happening. Can easily take the bus across the city from here. Had the sickest view from my bed in the the 5-bed female dorm! There was even a sink in my room which was helpful. The front door & guest door system is through an app. Breakfast was plentiful and you can make your own eggs. Staff was super helpful, even helping me find a place to take a call since I was there working remotely. Wifi was pretty good. Ballroom was great to relaxing, meeting people, planning your days. There are events on every night & if I wasn't meeting friends I would have joined them! Lots of bathrooms to choose from & they are all pretty clean. A charming place, I'd stay here again.

We had a great stay, loved the ballroom, great ambience. The hostel offers fun activities, we had a cool evening with Curry and Stand up comedy.

I’m so glad I stayed here! The staff is so nice and they create such a great environment. They have events you can attend every night to meet other people.

It was great! Breakfast was simple but delicious. It offered guests bagels, yogurt, oats, and eggs, but also had a full kitchen for everyone to cook for themselves. The staff was really friendly, and the spaces were clean and comfortable.

The common area on the second floor is enormous and a great place to eat, work or invite friends over to hang out!

Very friendly, comfortable hostel with helpful staff

Staff were so friendly and helpful, guest are also nice to be mingled

The clerk gave me directions to the place cuz my wifi no longer was working. I like that they had plenty of toilet paper in the bathroom. I like the organization of the big fridge. I like that there was a fan in my room. I like that everyone must be vaccinated. I like that the room wasnt crowded. I like that the vending machines accepted credit card.

Clean rooms, nice staff, Best Neighborhood🤩 North Beach is always a 👍
