San Francisco Hostellit

Plussat: Everything else. By far one of the best hostels I have stayed at.

Miinukset: Carrying my bags up so many stairs

Miinukset: There were so many stairs..

Plussat: Super cozy rooms, bagels for breakfast, great dinner and planned activities every evening, also a lot of activities, that the staff can organise for you. If you want, you can easily meet new people here! (If you don't, it's also located perfectly for exploring the city on your own)

Miinukset: Naturally shared bathrooms are not always dry and clean every minute of the day... The staff do their best tho...

Plussat: Nicely decorated and welcoming to stay. Nice music and fun activities. I will recommend this to all me friends that are staying or passing through San Francisco

Miinukset: Nothing tbh

Plussat: Such a lovely hostel, extremely clean and the staff very helpful. Walking distance from many areas of the city and greatly organised social nights. Would definitely stay here again.

Plussat: The wonderful staff are what really make this hostel special. I received exceptional service with a smile throughout my stay and my knowledgeable hosts were always helpful and friendly. The location is very convenient for downtown and there are lots of great places to eat and drink in the vicinity and as for the cost..... simply unbeatable! A truly exceptional hostel.

Plussat: Good sleephouse. Guitarstage and bicycle museum both highly stimulating. Strong.

Miinukset: Large demons. Very good windows but demons still come through backwards.

Plussat: Erittäin hyvä sijainti, rauhallinen alue, kaikki lähellä ja loistava palvelu jne

Plussat: Bed was very comfy. Room was great, had queen room with fab views. Self serve breakfast which was adequate. Quite expensive for a hostel and shared bathrooms could do with a renovation. Towels were very small and smelt of bleach. Very good location for most things. We hired bicycles from close by and cycled the golden gate bridge to Sausolito. A day on the trams for ghiarardeli square which was near. Great food at fisherman's Wharf and pier 39 both walkable for us.

Miinukset: Cold bathrooms in need of renovation. We were not greeted well, not,told about lockers for valuables, or that we could only park outside the building for two hours. We left our car overnight and we're lucky not to get a ticket. Parking spaces for the hostel were a walk away but we hardly used the car whilst we were there anyway. When we checked out they just took the key cards and said are you checking out, that was it! Very expensive at $170 aus per night!

Plussat: Bed was great

Plussat: La ubicación

Miinukset: La cama no era cómoda. No hay suficientes enchufes en la habitación. Dependiendo el horario los baños no estaban limpios.

Plussat: In addition to all of the necessities, there were many fun/comfort factors (really comfy bedding, great internet availability, indoor and outdoor lounges that capitalize on the beautiful views of San Francisco Bay). Easy walk to everything fun around Ghirardelli Square and Aquatic Park.

Plussat: Great location, great view of Alcatraz and GG Bridge, easy walk to marinas, parks, public transportation and sights, nice cafe on site.

Miinukset: Fog horn woke us during the night but it's SF in the summer, so fog is inevitable. Bathrooms could use an update.

Plussat: Great location at Santa Monica. Wonderful hostel

Plussat: Location Staff

Plussat: The location was great. Close to the main attractions we were interested in and a supermarket which is important when staying in a hostel. It wasn't noisy which some hostels can be which was great and there was a mix of ages of guests. A cosy fire to sit around during the day or evening and a great little Cafe (Francos) with a good cappuccino or latte.

Miinukset: the room we stayed in had a slight leak in the hot water which meant it got a bit smelly after being shut up - we did leave a window open but that didn;t seem to help much. Maybe have a dehumidifier (like you use in clothes cupboards) to help with the smell.

Plussat: I really liked the staff. Our check in time wasn't until 3pm but we arrived very early and they let us put our bags away in this locked closet area. We were able to venture out and discover San Francisco without having to worry about our belongings. Jimmy you're way too cool sir!

Plussat: Location was good and in a quiet area

Plussat: Loved the view of Alcatraz, the GGBridge to the west, parklike setting all around, marinas within an easy walk, on site cafe (separate from hostel kitchen & breakfast), very nice staff.

Miinukset: Bathrooms & showers could use an update.

Plussat: Paikka oli viihtyisä ja tunnelma rento. Aamupala oli hyvä puuroineen ja hedelmineen. Ympärivuorokautinen valvonta loistojuttu

Miinukset: Ainoa miinus oli paikka missä Hostelli oli

Plussat: Location is a close walk to the Bill Graham and other places of interest. The bathroom ventilation was adequate than most hostels I stayed at.

Miinukset: My mattress on my bed was soft making it slightly uncomfortable, but it wasn't a problem overall. Dinning area is fairly small with limited seating and dimly-lit.

Plussat: NONE

Miinukset: Some staff not in good service mode. No smile no prompt for service. No service mind. Room is very small and bed not comfortable. So far a way walk from Subway. Be careful when walk to the hostel way in the night.

Plussat: Great breakfast spread, $1 eggs were serious. The place has a lovely homely feel to the place. Staff were super friendly and helpful with any queries.

Miinukset: While location was ideal, it's the biggest homeless area in the city, a major eyeopener to what's going on, but this didn't take away from the hostel itself. I stayed for 6 nights and didn't feel unsafe.

Plussat: The interior of the hostel and the friendly staff

Miinukset: Nothing really

Plussat: The room was very good and the bed comfy. The breakfast was brilliant!!

Miinukset: The location, it’s a shame there are so many homeless people around but I guess this is just the area

Plussat: The building is beautiful, clean and service is good too. The pancakes and eggs were tasty and installations were great.

Miinukset: The mattress could be more comfortable and I wish the area wasn’t so full of junkies.

Plussat: Hostellin henkilökunta ja tunnelma olivat loistavat. Huoneet olivat siistejä ja kodikkaita, aamupala oikein maukas hintaansa nähden! Aamupalalla 1 dollarin pancakes and eggs pelasti aamumme :)

Miinukset: Hostellin sijainti oli loistava, aivan keskustassa. Ainoa miinus vieressä sijaitseva Hyde street, jonka varrelle kaikki kodittomat kerääntyvät.

Plussat: the lobby and shared areas are very pleasant and nice to hang out in.

Miinukset: There are tons of homeless right outside. I don’t recommend walking alone at night. Maybe best to take Uber directly from your hotel. But the hostel itself is a pleasant refuge from the streets outside.

Plussat: Hinta-laatusuhde kohdallaan! Hostellin sijaitsee hieman huonommalla alueella Hyde streetin vieressä, mutta välttämällä tiettyjä paikkoja ei tämä onneksi häirinnyt. Huone, aamiainen ja palvelu aivan huippua! :)

Plussat: Alueen hotelliksi hyvä ja turvallinen.

Miinukset: Sijainti Tenderloinissa on kyllä keskeinen, mutta alue on rauhaton, pahanhajuinen ja siellä on paljon kodittomia. Myös äänieristys oli hieman heikonlainen.

Plussat: Hostel from the inside looks cool and was more or less clean. ATM and letter box in the hostel and well equipped kitchen. Good breakfast for free or pancakes or eggs for only 1$. Dorms (4-bed ladies dorm with bathroom inside) were comfortable and more or less clean. Towel was provided and rooms were cleaned every day. Some girls from the staff were friendly.

Miinukset: The hostel is located in the Tenderloin neighborhood, which is the worst neighborhood to stay at since streets are full of homeless and drug junkies. They literally camp on the street. At night, for your own safety, take Uber. I wouldn’t walk alone (especially as woman) in the streets at night and even at day time I felt uncomfortable and insecure walking to e.g. Union Square. Staff at night was super unfriendly, especially the guys and if you have questions be sure to get an unfriendly answer. Room at night was too cold sometimes since the heating went off. Sometimes noisy as well. Two unpleasant things happened: 1. I stayed a total of 7 nights. After 5 nights, the cleaning lady changed the bed linen and blanket, maybe by accident so I had to do my bed again. What was more unpleasant though was that she threw my pajama and socks that I wore at night on the filthy carpet next to my bed. 2. Transfer to the airport booked by the hostel (15$): I didn’t understand why but I had to pay a 4$ deposit in cash to the hostel and could pay the rest by card to the diver. I didn’t have enough cash, only 2$ left, but the staff was just super unfriendly replying that then I just couldn’t take the transfer in a way “too bad for you”, instead of proposing a solution or just saying in a friendly way that the deposit was necessary for whatever reason. My roommate luckily helped me out at the end. The staff at night was awful and very “unconcerned” as if they just didn’t care about anything and please DO NOT ASK QUESTIONS, not even how getting from the hostel to Union Square, this is already too much for them! I would never stay at this hostel again.

Plussat: Excellent location with some nice touches such as free coffee all day

Miinukset: Only one shower on our floor for several rooms...but way to access other showers on other floors

Plussat: location was great, safer area in downtown San Diego, right across from the dragon's gate. Lots of nice restaurants and shops nearby.

Miinukset: Dirty shower rooms, no hot water (we had to take a cold water shower in 6 am in a SF morning - quite chilly even in summer month. A front desk lady did not show any sympathy or apology about the issue, instead she complaint all guests get mad at h

Plussat: Great

Plussat: It was my first time in San Francisco and I didn't know anything about the best areas to stay. I was impress with all, the rooms, the share bathrooms and the GREAT location. Big surprise for me :)

Miinukset: I stayed in 2 different rooms, one of them was a little noise but nothing serious.

Plussat: It is immaculatly clean and has an excellent location.

Miinukset: It was expensive for a room with shared bath.

Plussat: Everything. The staff was friendly. The room was clean and as expected in San Francisco the room was small but was bigger than I was expecting. My view of the street was nice. Showers were clean. Within walking distance of everything. Better than expected

Miinukset: Nothing.

Plussat: The trendy feel and location.

Miinukset: Water tempter and toilets were not working properly

Plussat: Clininess

Miinukset: Traffic noise from window

Plussat: good location next to Dragon Gate

Miinukset: One night without problems

Plussat: Sijainti, rauhallisuus ja hinta-laatusuhde.

Plussat: The affordability and simplicity are what make this place a great choice. Couldn't ask for a better location. I felt completely safe and at home during my stay here!

Plussat: very good location.

Miinukset: Sharing bathroom & toilet room

Plussat: The area was beautiful, and the staff assured me that I was safe to walk to my next destination. They were confident and answered all my questions

Miinukset: It said Amsterdam "Hotel" outside; as opposed to "hostel" and I was nervous. That was likely just my anxiety though.

Miinukset: The kichen in the under ground floor

Plussat: The Hostel is very well located. Rooms are very basic, however clean.

Miinukset: Heating might not work (It did in my case after a bit of effort to turn it on). Breakfast facilities are really basic. I beleive that this is a bit too expensive for the service offered.

Plussat: The pancakes was a nice addition and coffee is always good.

Miinukset: The bars on the bunk bed was really hard.. maybe some foam or coushin.

Plussat: Cheap and very close to chinAtown and Union square

Miinukset: The structure is very old and needs a restoration

Plussat: The location is amazing, close to everything.

Plussat: Nothing

Miinukset: Everything. Noisy, dirty, poor bathrooms, bad smells.

Plussat: I very liked my days in this hostel. The room was quite big to be an hostel and everything was perfectly clean. There was a bathroom in the room, so basically if you go in 4 people you can easily consider this as an hotel and not as an hostel. The position is also perfect. Walking distance from union square.

Plussat: Close to several cafés and diners

Miinukset: Tiny room, fridge was not plugged in, no cups, website was an accurate, no elevator, bed was tiny, bathroom amenities were zero, we were unaware of the $20 room key fee in cash which should’ve been explained to us before check-in, you could hear everybody, our lights were flickering, Loud pipes.

Miinukset: Needs to be updated badly! Smelled musty and moldy.

Plussat: FIRST DORM ASSIGNED TO ME AT CHECK-IN WAS EXCELLENT!! STAFF WAS VERY HELPFUL AT TIME OF ARRIVAL.

Miinukset: AFTER WORKING NIGHT BASEBALL GAME I ARRIVED BACK HOSTEL AROUND 11:P.M. FOUND I HAD BEEN GIVEN UPPER BUNK,MADE RESERVATION WEEK IN ADVANCE REQUESTING LOWER BUNK,AND AFTER ENTERING DORM FOUND NO LADDER FOR USE TO GET UPPER BED!!!!!ASKED NIGHT MANAGEMENT FOR LADDER SO I COULD GET SOME SLEEP AS WAS VERY TIRED THEY DECIDED TO RELOCATE ME TO DIFFERENT DORM WHICH WAS DOWN HALLWAY IN CORNER,AN OVER-FLOW ROOM. UPON ENTERING FOUND THAT STILL NEEDED TO CLIMB LADDER TO UPPER BUNK!!! WHY THE SWITCH???? LADDER SWUNG OUT FROM BUNK AND WAS NOT CLOSE TO BEING SECURE!! UPON TRYING TO CLIMB DOWN LADDER IN A.M. I ACTUALLY FELL OFF LADDER AND LUCKILY WAS NO HURT VERY BAD!!!!!!FURTHERMORE RESERVATION WAS MADE AT 9:A.M. DO NOT THINK I WILL EVER STAY THERE AGAIN!!

Plussat: Aamupala: itse paistetut pannukakaut ja kahvi/tee

Miinukset: Hieman likaista
