My stay at HI San Francisco hostel was really nice. I love the room as cleanliness was maintained properly and they have 24 hour desk services to help. Also, there is a big kitchen on 3rd floor we can store the food there and use it later, also have opportunities to meet new people . It was a wonderful stay for me.
