Ubicación estratégica sobre la Av Broadway, entre Chinatown, Little Italy y los Piers.
Mi experiencia estuvo inmejorable, hasta disfruté el Dry Sauna gratis :)

I enjoyed my stay, i would recommend it if you want to be in a centric area. I took the bus literally everywhere. Also, I meet a lot of cool people from Germany, South Korea, Mexico, England, and Spain;There is a good vibe. The common area is very nice to hangout or work. I also liked the breakfast system. Don't be shy, literally almost everyone there is kind. They have fun activities going on during the week that you can participate and meet people on the bars near the hostel.
The Top bunk bed is kind of uncomfortable. If you get that one, you can ask to switch to the bottom one. But they may change you to a different room.

Good breakfast and is good to have a water dispenser. Enjoyed the common space! Lockers are large and allow for storing your whole backpack.
Afternoon check-in staff was rude because they misheard my last name and thought I didn't have a reservation there. It's right across some night club and bars which is great for partying but not as great if you're trying to sleep because the music can be heard clearly.

4.5 / 5.0
Definitely one of the best hostel in SF.
The breakfast is perfect, all the mornings volunteers prepare it and let you start the day in the best way.
It's an hostel, so don't pretend anything special. Rooms are tiny, but there is everything you need.
Suggestion: bring earplugs and you will definitely be fine :)

My roommates were great. My room and my bed were clean. There were so many bathrooms available, clean too! I enjoyed my stay here so much I might just come back here for the second time ☺️ the location was only a 19 minute walk away from Fisherman's wharf
Nothing!

The hostel is amazing, has everything you need and is in a walking distance to most points of interest. Bus/tram/public transport options are also closeby. The rooms are nice, clean, and there are plenty of bathrooms, common spaces and activities.
Some nights it gets a bit noisy as it is on a street with bars, etc, but nothing major.
5.0 / 5.0
great location; very social hostel, easy to meet people with daily evening events; a lot of bathrooms with single showers which was great; great community areas
room was quite small, little outdated but very clean;
parking is very expensive in parking garages ($50 per night), I’d rather recommend on street parking 1-2 blocks away
4.0 / 5.0
it was very clean, the staff were very efficient. there was a laundry room and small kitchen. i got a room with a private bathroom, which was nice. my room had the capacity for 4 people but there was only one other person, so that was nice. There's a cozy little lobby area and lounge room.
Parking is very expensive. The shower in my room was so small that I had to press myself up against the wall to be in the spray without it hitting my face. Maybe the showers in the common bathrooms are bigger, I don't know.
4.0 / 5.0
good breakfast, helpful staff, good location
beds were a bit hard, no curtain on the beds so no privacy, some of the showers didn’t turn warm
5.0 / 5.0
The layout was great, I liked the large common space with pool, musical instruments, and several games available. The green tortoise also had independent bathrooms with independent showers which I found to be exceptional. They also had fun activities to take part in daily
