Not bad. Only needed a clean room to stay in for the night after seeing a late show. I was there for check in and then back around 2am to sleep. I had a top bunk, the bed was fine, no one was on bottom. A five minute walk from Bart. I was hoping for a better breakfast but it was very simple(I had toast with butter and jam,an apple, and some boiled eggs and coffee), but better than nothing. There's also a cafe/restaurant next door if you want something else. I would stay again for the price. ##### Benjamin Stayed 1 night in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bradley Sep 14, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities The room was exactly as described. It was very clean and everything worked well. The room was a little dimly lit. It would have been nicer to have a brighter light. But overall the room was fine and the facility was very nice. ##### Bradley Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mary Jul 2, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Welcoming Hostel My friend and I each stayed in a private room with its own bath. I was pleasantly surprised with how large and comfortable the rooms were. The staff was very friendly, and the the communal areas were clean, and nicely decorated. I enjoyed mingling with the other guests, and although we didn’t take advantage of them, I thought it was great that the hostel offered events like pub crawls, and walking tours for the guests to socialize! If I had any criticism, it would be that I there was no way to control the temperature in the room. Overall, it was a great short stay, and I would definitely return. ##### Mary Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ma. Deborah J. Dela Nov 30, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities My second stay here. The first stay was great, shared beds with 4 other girls, room was in the second floor, very nice, clean and quiet room, breakfast was substantial too. I was impressed, so on my second visit to SFO, I brought my daughter with me. Was given a 5th floor room, for 3 people, but only me and my daughter occupied it the whole 2-night stay. The room smelled of dirty, old and wet carpet. We arrived almost 12 midnight, and only had a day to tour the city, we didn’t ask for a room-change for it was a waste of time. I would still stay in this hostel the next visit, for it’s very near the Powell station and lots of connecting transportation to everything, but I’ll be sure to ask for a room change if the room smells. ##### Ma. Deborah J. Dela Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Yu Ki Jan 7, 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We booked a private room for 2 nights. The toilet was clogged the second morning and we reported to the reception right away. At night the issue was not solved at all and worsened the next morning. We had to use the shared toilet outside the private room. Hostel staff is not friendly to solve the issue ##### Yu Ki Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Akriti Apr 20, 2023 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The dorm was smelly and the washroom was choked, full and disgusting. The elevator didn’t seem to work at all and I had to change to a private room with triple the price because of last minute inconvenience. I got the room 4 hours post my check in as the staff at reception didn’t know how to upgrade the booking. ##### Akriti Stayed 1 night in Apr 2023 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Holiday Inn Golden Gateway by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Francisco-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Golden-Gateway.h10538.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton San Francisco Financial District](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Francisco-Hotels-Hilton-San-Francisco-Financial-District.h4302.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont San Francisco](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Francisco-Hotels-Fairmont-San-Francisco.h18200.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Riu Plaza Fisherman's Wharf](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Francisco-Hotels-Hotel-Riu-Plaza-Fishermans-Wharf.h24625.Hotel-Information) > > [LUMA Hotel San Francisco](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Francisco-Hotels-LUMA-Hotel-San-Francisco.h70097106.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency San Francisco](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Francisco-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-San-Francisco.h23774.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Centric Fisherman's Wharf San Francisco](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Francisco-Hotels-Hyatt-Centric-Fishermans-Wharf-San-Francisco.h22500.Hotel-Information) > > [Residence Inn by Marriott San Francisco Airport/ San Mateo](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Francisco-Hotels-Residence-Inn-By-Marriott-San-Francisco-Airport-San-Mateo.h14873.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Zoe Fisherman's Wharf](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Francisco-Hotels-Hotel-Zoe-Fishermans-Wharf.h3552.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express and Suites Fisherman's Wharf by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Francisco-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-And-Suites-Fishermans-Wharf.h578899.Hotel-Information) > > [Argonaut Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Francisco-Hotels-Argonaut-Hotel-A-Noble-House-Hotel.h915510.Hotel-Information) > > [Kimpton Alton Fisherman's Wharf by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Francisco-Hotels-Kimpton-Alton-Hotel-Fishermans-Wharf.h1047.Hotel-Information) > > [BEI San Francisco, Trademark Collection by Wyndham](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Francisco-Hotels-BEI-San-Francisco.h32945909.Hotel-Information) > > [San Francisco Marriott Marquis](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Francisco-Hotels-San-Francisco-Marriott-Marquis.h8737.Hotel-Information) > > [Stanford Court San Francisco](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Francisco-Hotels-Stanford-Court-San-Francisco.h6271901.Hotel-Information) > > [1 Hotel San Francisco](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Francisco-Hotels-1-Hotel-San-Francisco.h1138217.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Zephyr San Francisco](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Francisco-Hotels-Hotel-Zephyr-San-Francisco.h9868852.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Hotel San Francisco at Embarcadero](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Francisco-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Hotel-San-Francisco-At-Embarcadero.h6505.Hotel-Information) > > [Club Quarters Hotel in San Francisco](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Francisco-Hotels-Club-Quarters-Hotel-In-San-Francisco.h912982.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Kabuki, part of JdV by Hyatt](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Francisco-Hotels-Hotel-Kabuki.h1003.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Zelos San Francisco](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Francisco-Hotels-Hotel-Zelos-San-Francisco.h225819.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency San Francisco Downtown SOMA](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Francisco-Hotels-The-Park-Central-San-Francisco-Hyatt-Affiliated-Hotel.h491.Hotel-Information) > > [The Ritz-Carlton, San Francisco](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Francisco-Hotels-The-Ritz-Carlton.h22148.Hotel-Information) > > [InterContinental Mark Hopkins by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Francisco-Hotels-InterContinental-Mark-Hopkins.h24620.Hotel-Information) > > [Marriott San Francisco Fisherman's Wharf](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Francisco-Hotels-Marriott-San-Francisco-Fishermans-Wharf.h20488.Hotel-Information) > > [Palace Hotel, a Luxury Collection Hotel, San Francisco](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Francisco-Hotels-Palace-Hotel.h27274.Hotel-Information) > > [W San Francisco](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Francisco-Hotels-W-San-Francisco.h287112.Hotel-Information) > > [InterContinental San Francisco by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Francisco-Hotels-InterContinental-San-Francisco.h1766605.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Caza Fisherman's Wharf](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Francisco-Hotels-Hotel-Caza.h38249309.Hotel-Information) > > [Comfort Inn by the Bay](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Francisco-Hotels-Comfort-Inn-By-The-Bay.h5984.Hotel-Information)
