This is a hostel so i didn't expect the mattress to be great.... and it wasn't, but it was okay. I appreciated the warm shower w/good water pressure. When i asked reception about a place to dine she gave excellent advice and with a friendly attitude. And, when I needed to check-out a day early due to change in plans it was no problem. I was refunded for the day. ##### Stephanie Stayed 6 nights in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### kissimmee Oct 14, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great, clean and nice staff. ##### kissimmee Stayed 1 night in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sui Yin Feb 14, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The hostel is near the Powell St station which is convenient to go to different part of the city.

Staff was friendly and the decor and breakfast were nice touches. As with a typical SF building, walls are very thin so you can hear people moving around throughout the building during the night, but some of that is expected at a hostel. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nathan Oct 26, 2023 Great to see how conscious the hostel is regarding sustainability/the environment. Staff were particularly welcoming on arrival and very happy to provide information regarding travel options etc. would definitely recommend.
