    A Great Start to Our Travel Adventure

    Staying here was a unique experience! The atmosphere was vibrant, enhancing our trip excitement. The bottom bunk made for a restful sleep after late nights exploring. Pro tip, try to grab a bottom bunk for comfort! Clean bathrooms and welcoming staff made the stay even better.

    I loved the friendly vibe and community space! 🥳 Breakfast was a hit, fresh pastries and organic juices! The only downside was the peak hour bathroom rush. I'd definitely recommend it!

    great location with minor improvements needed

    The location was fantastic for exploring on foot, with easy access to landmarks. The common room provided an inviting atmosphere for leisurely breakfast each morning.

    The bathroom facilities could use better maintenance.

    great location
    nice breakfast
    common area
    cramped bathroom
    waiting for showers

    The location was fantastic, making it easy to get to Chinatown and the Italian neighborhood. I really enjoyed the breakfast spread with plenty of options like bagels, jelly, and fresh fruit. The common area was a great spot to relax and play some table tennis. The only downside was the bathrooms felt a bit cramped at times and we had to wait a little longer than expected for showers.

    friendly atmosphere
    spacious common areas
    limited breakfast options
    noticeable noise
    need for storage lock

    Booked last minute and enjoyed my stay! The atmosphere was amazing, filled with friendly people looking to connect, and the warm Sunday dinners were a great touch. The common areas were spacious and had good vibes. However, I did wish the breakfast was more varied, and the noise from nearby clubs was noticeable on weekends. Also, make sure to bring a lock for storage since they don't provide them in the dorms.

    great location
    shared kitchen
    fun atmosphere
    cramped bathroom

    We explored Alcatraz and took in the vibrant music scene nearby. The location is a huge plus—just a 3-minute walk to City Lights Bookstore. The shared kitchen and lounge area were perfect for downtime, and we really enjoyed the free table tennis. Can't wait for our next adventure at this fun hostel!

    Had some trouble with the bathrooms. they felt a bit cramped at times. We had to wait a little longer than expected for showers.
