The hostel is cozy and is right around the corner from everything downtown - I walked everywhere! I got there around 9pm and the girl there to check me in was really nice and very helpful even though it was late. All of the employees were awesome and so friendly and helpful. I got to meet some really amazing people who were staying there too. Everyone was super welcoming and friendly! Definitely stay here if you're a backpacker or just traveling to San Francisco and wanting to meet cool people, be in the middle of downtown and have a great experience! I loved that you provided a towel and pb&j! :D You guys are awesome and I'll definitely stay here again if I'm in San Fran! Honestly this was an awesome place to stay and I wouldn't have changed anything! ”
