I've been in what seems like a lot of hostels and this one didn't disappoint, that's for sure.I came here based on a friend's recommendation and I wanted cheap accommodations while in San Francisco so a hostel fit well into my plans. When I first walked in, I was slightly apprehensive, based on the multiple floors of the hostel, but I adjusted as I went on and became a fan of how the hostel was laid out.The shower and bathroom area were average but I didn't spend the majority of my time there so I didn't care much. The beds were pretty comfy and clean. The lockers beneath the beds were super spacious. Bring a combination or a padlock with you to lock up your things! You get a lot of space for your things which I appreciated.The staff and the travelers in the hostel were very kind and helpful. They even adjusted our reservation to give us the lowest rate possible as we checked in and checked out a couple of times.I couldn't be happier with my experience here. They're great people :) Helpful notes: 1) Bring $20 for a key deposit. 2) You need not be worried about safety. In order to get into the building, your key needs to "buzz" past two doors. If you don't have the key, no one from your party (or outside the hostel) can get in 3) Bring that combination lock for your things
