San Francisco Hostellit

Plussat: I like the people there. Nice activities. Awesome for everyone!

Miinukset: Maybe more charge with usb in the room.

Plussat: Nice location, lots of bars and restaurants close. Great communal ball room like area.

Miinukset: A little bit short on bathrooms in the morning.

Plussat: Close to a few sights

Miinukset: Loud from cars outside People not obeying quiet hours and the staff doing nothing when I asked for them to ask the guy outside my door to quiet down I pay a lot of money but still have to take the sheets off my bed? And San Fran is a big transportation hub so people are waking up at 5 AM and have to wake everyone in the room to take their sheets off Common area is all chairs, not comfortable couches Common area is too big and anti social

Plussat: Free breakfast, free dinner 3 days per week good vibes

Miinukset: Cleaning kitchen at 12:30 pm to 1:30...

Plussat: Great location and loved cooking with with Chef on Monday night!

Plussat: Location was perfect for getting around San Fran!

Miinukset: Private rooms are in a house a block away from the main hostel. No iron available at the private rooms - had to walk with clothes and iron at the main hostel.

Plussat: Staff were helpful and friendly especially kitchen staff. Liked the bathroom setup with there being single rooms instead of one shared bathroom and great having a sink in room. Beds were comfy. Hostel has a really nice feel to it, not super flash or modern like others but more homey which I liked. They seemed to have lots of great activities available which were well promoted.

Miinukset: Minor negatives would be that location is a bit noisy with bars etc all around so sleeping was a bit disturbed (easily fixed by earplugs tho). Aside from that, location was perfect. Only some of the individual bed lights worked.

Plussat: Two staff Seamus (at the reception/ checkin) and Edigio (chef) were extremely friendly and helpful. They both went an extra mile to help me with my queries and they helped me a lot - I felt extremely welcomed and assisted during my first trip in America. Totally awesome people!!! Highly recommending.

Plussat: Great food overall, nice breakfast spread and free dinners every Mon, Wed and Fri (which was an unexpected bonus). Really loved the activities planned every evening, it made it easy to meet people and make friends. Location is PERFECT, walking distance to majority attractions in San Francisco (Chinatown, Little Italy, Coit Tower, Pier 39, Fisherman's Wharf, Financial District etc.) Would 10/10 recommend.

Miinukset: It was a bit hot/stuffy in the rooms on super hot days. Other than that, no complaints!

Plussat: If you are looking for a crazy experience than totally worth the buck! it is a cheap alternative for one or two day stay if you are going to be out and about in the city for most of the day. The staff are super friendly and the best part is that you meet different people from around the world and get to interact. Good philosophy of cooking dinner together, only that for breakfast you are on your own!! They have evening activities which I found entertaining and fun!

Miinukset: Though my first experience in a hostel, it will be my last. The main reason being the lack of privacy and comfort!! The rooms don't have A/C and it was darn hot during September. A single fan not enough to give you a good night sleep. The toilet and baths were cleanish and maybe I am not used to the sharing concept (or queuing before you pee!).

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

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

Plussat: Super friendly and lovely staff, helpful, went out of their way to take care of me and my bike :)

Miinukset: I could have booked a smaller room but still slept very well!

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: Location

Miinukset: Bathroom, beds

Plussat: The cafe and staff were excellent and very helpful

Miinukset: Wooden bunks move/shake easily if person in the bottom bed moves during the nite.

Plussat: It was clean and location was great! Very comfortable bedding. It was a beautiful place. I will stay there again

Miinukset: The bathroom could use more ventilation and a little bit more attention. The upper bunks were very very difficult to climb into. They really need to address that. I will stay there again

Plussat: Loved this place. Had an amazing view of the Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz Island, close to everything. Place was super clean and comfortable. Staff were extremely helpful and other guest were polite. Would definitely stay here again.

Plussat: Ocean view from my room. Parking was free! Great, simple breakfast including yummy coffee. Quieter than expected. Amazing location -- walking to wharf was a breeze.

Miinukset: Parking map was a bit rudimentary and not easy to follow.

Plussat: The property was clean, affordable and located near several points of interest. The views of the Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz were incredible. The hostel has a nice cafe, serves a continental breakfast, and was really a great value for my girlfriend and I. A place like this, with great views and a great location for only $50 a night was fantastic. Highly recommended.

Miinukset: I have no complaints. A great experience all around.

Plussat: Parking Exist & location is perfect

Miinukset: Very old rooms and bathrooms

Plussat: SF is always really expensive but this hostel isn’t AND if you walk just outside of it you have a beautiful view of both the Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz. The staff was super helpful and friendly and the live music in the cafe was great!

Plussat: We liked the view from the window and the bunk beds were comfy

Miinukset: I think i woke up with insect bites

Plussat: Great Ambiance... Friendly staff. Close to sorts of restaurants. Too many bathrooms (and clean) to use, and you can access all of them with your room card. Free fruits and available all the time. Budget-Friendly. I'll surely visit again.

Plussat: Location. That is literally the only upside here.

Miinukset: This hostel has literally ZERO soundproofing. It is attached to a band practice space/karaoke space, which I get is part of the draw for some people but there is NO WAY TO SLEEP here. It is like being at a concert-even on the third floor, constantly until almost midnight, and after that even just your neighbor opening and closing a door, or the street noise is so loud that I had to put in noise canceling headphones and take extra sleeping pills. Its all amplified so much. I literally got maybe 3 hours of sleep here each night that I stayed. The bathrooms were never clean, and the staff was less than friendly. There is no elevator and no one offers to help with luggage. I would never stay here again.

Miinukset: Hire a better receptionist if you want your place to be decent. For the duration of my trip I had an issue with the young, Latino American man working. I’m assuming he is Latino because he was speaking fluent Spanish with other employees. I addressed a safety issue with him and clearly made a simple request that was not honored. When I followed up about the safely issue, he blamed other employees for the failure to communicate and told me I could have texted the hotel. I’m busy person and was waiting a couple days for this guy to address my issue. I shouldn’t have to track down a receptionist to feel safe. I would appreciate either the owner or the executive manager of the hotel to contact me for more details. The safely issue at hand - I came back to my private room late at night and it was unlocked. The door was cracked open and was obviously unlocked. I was scared for my life to go into the room. I thought about screaming but also didn’t want to wake up the entire hotel in the case nothing was wrong. Just because the receptionist doesn’t worry about violence and sexual assault to the extent a woman has to...well, that doesn’t excuse his incompetence and pompous behavior.

Plussat: Such a nice hostel for the price. Did not feel like a last minute option.

Plussat: Staff were really nice, and cleaning was regular and thorough. My bed was made every day. Great service for a hostel!

Miinukset: The hostel needs stricter rules around use of perfumes and aerosol deodorants in the rooms, I had two cohabitors who kept spraying stuff because they felt "the room was stuffy". Made it very hard to breathe and as a result I couldn't enjoy my stay. Upper bunks don't have shelves or anywhere where one can place a laptop, or pants or something. There isn't much of a common area, other than the tiny recreation room. If i wanted to work on my laptop, I needed to either snag a spot in the recreation room next to a power socket, or stay in my room. The latter wasn't pleasant, as mentioned earlier. Why is there no soap in the shower room? Towards the end of my stay, I discovered there were little shampoo bottles in the dorms, but I'm not sure if they were supplied by the hostel, or belonged to someone in the room. Confusing! Alsoooo, maybe the lack of a proper shower was what was compelling people to tend more towards deodorant/perfume..

Plussat: This is a Great place if your looking for a clean "value" place to stay musician or not.

Plussat: Everyone is friendly. Was not worried or paranoid rooming with so many strangers.

Miinukset: Since bathrooms are shared, the hotel should be cleaning them more frequently. People go in and out and not everyone is a clean person. I had to clean the counters because everything was wet and there was no place to set my things. There was water all over the floor and need to be careful how you walk.

Plussat: I like hostels because they're a good value for an area of the city that can otherwise be pricey. The staff is laid back yet professional and knowledgable about the local area. I stayed in a small room with plenty of storage, sink, fridge and TV. I liked having the large window to the courtyard/ open area that you can open completely.

Miinukset: I was worried about getting enough sleep because of the music rehearsal studio that is in the basement. While in my room at 9pm I could hear the band play muffled but clearly. The tv would cover the sound easily. This went on and off till 11. I could hear some construction sounds from next door through the open area out my window until 7pm, but not again until after 9am.

Miinukset: No elevator. Had to pick my suitcase up two floors

Plussat: Location was great, staff very helpful and great price.

Miinukset: Not crazy about shared bathrooms, yet they were always available and clean.

Plussat: Clean, comfortable, friendly staff. The building has a lot of character and is in a relatively convenient location (a little far from the BART station).

Miinukset: Not a lot of noise insulation from other rooms or hallway.

Miinukset: Dirty

Plussat: hotel is in main street. almost clean .

Miinukset: it seems old furnuture , and homeless around the hotel. and it was very expensive rate for this small room. no AC no TV

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: Excellent breakfast, all the place is very clean and comfortable. The staff is very nice and try to help whatever you need. I have a problem with my bed and they change me without problems.

Miinukset: The location is good, but unfortunately, the zone look threatening by the number of homeless people surrounding

Plussat: Good room, spacious and a nice breakfast for 1$

Miinukset: Lots of homeless people on the streets nearby, it does not feel safe, however the location is good. It's just that SF has lots of people living in the streets, even in the good locations

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: Complimentary breakfast is great! Esp the juice and $1 eggies/pancakes. Hostel also offers nice activities (in-house and other) all week round.

Miinukset: Location is in the Tenderloin; not nice walking down Ellis street. I detoured a block up before heading into city centre. Would've been nice if beds were already made.

Plussat: Liked the onsite bar, great to unwind and have a chat on site at the end of the day. Good simple breakfast very nice too

Plussat: Very clean hostel, great choices for breakfast and very central

Plussat: Offering breakfast in the room rate is a nice touch

Miinukset: The noise on the main street at night is ridiculous!! Single glazed windows mean you can hear every conversation and drunk shouting on the streets outside late into the night. This is a very rough area and the Police sirens are going a lot of the night. The surrounding area is full of homeless folk sleeping rough, some of which are openly injecting needles into themselves outside the hostel on the street. I had to step around a few people who had passed just a few doors down. I got a taxi too and from the hostel at night as I didnt feel safe.

Plussat: The place was very clean. In my room for four females, there was a private bathroom. You didn’t have to go out into the hall for the bathroom. And it was clean. The whole place was well decorated.

Miinukset: Lots of homeless people on that street outside the hostel. I’ve never seen such a situation before.

Plussat: Nice decoration and very helpful staff.

Miinukset: DO NOT go outside after dark.... horrible neighborhood. The bunk beds were uncomfortable compared to similar hostels elsewhere.

Plussat: Nice stuff, really clean room

Plussat: I liked to staff, they are usually smiling to people.

Miinukset: Actually everything, yes these places not like 5 stars Otel but at least should have to handsoap mirror in the bathroom. Rooms are very ridiculous. And the bed was very bad and uncomfortable.

Plussat: As above, put in wrong box. No dislikes. Would stay again

Miinukset: Everything was fine. Comfy bed, very clean facilities. Helpful, friendly staff, no probs at all. Good location.

Plussat: On a scale of 1-10: -1. Nothing at all was satisfying. Hostel was very close to city center. That is the only plus. Close to shopping and Bart Station and tram service. Great cafes and bars. SF City library and outdoor market very close, a block away.

Miinukset: The hostel did not meet any expectation that I might have anticipated. Below average continental breakfast. There was no syrup for the waffles. The toilet was right next to the shower--dangerous! Someone could literally fall down in the shower and hit there head on the toilet, and receive a concussion. The lockers were to small to fit even overhead luggage, and the bed-frames were cracked and broken. Please tell this hostel to upgrade their furniture, because most of it in the lounge area and foyer needed to be cleaned or re-placed! I will NEVER visit this hostel again.

Plussat: location

Miinukset: Wifi connection is very slow.

Plussat: Clean, great position, good value for money.

Miinukset: Larger lockers

Plussat: Great location, nice staff and a good breakfast. Close to a lot of attractions, restaurants and nightlife. Rooms are clean and quiet.

Plussat: good location breakfast every morning some places we can rest holding lugages service

Miinukset: too narrow shower rooms too weak shower water too uncomfortable beds too noisy too sensitive people even one motion makes the bed shaking too much

Plussat: Nothing exp location

Miinukset: Room is not good at all and beds not comfortable

Plussat: Location of the hotel Guides Price

Miinukset: Bed Furniture Room temperature control

Plussat: Very nice staff, comfortable room. It takes about 10 minutes from subway station but very easy to find. Besides, there's a supermarket within 5 minute walk and also some different kinds of restaurant near there. Buildings around the hostel are very stylish, classical and artful. so it's very fun to walk around.
