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.

    Excellent place to stay. I was here for a nights and it was an excellent value. Significantly cheaper than hotels while still being clean and quiet. Had no issues with shared spaces. The bathrooms on my floor were shred private/unisex. This place is very cool and I hope it keeps its class for a long time because tourists visiting San Francisco deserve such a warm and tranquil place like this, to make their visit to San Francisco memorable (all good memories)

    Terrible place to stay..manager is a drug addict and screams at people. Calls the hostel his house and he is just the manager. Filthy. I rented the showcase room and it was filthy with sex stained sheets and used lubricant in the trash. Bathroom had pubic hair on toilet and dirt in tub. Dirty surfaces. Dont ever stay here. You will flee for your life.
