This was an awesome little find right in the heart of the bustling San Fran. Really neat little spot where you have a "crossroads of the world" type experience, offering you the opportunity to meet people the globe over. Can't really think of too much downside and for a hostel experience, I was pleasantly surprised since it was well organized, clean, and safe, which seem to be the things people worry most about with hostels. I recommend this for the thrifty traveller looking to get the genuine city experience.
