I had an amazing stay at Pacific Heights Hostel, I was only intending to stay for four days and ended up staying for almost two weeks! The staff are really friendly, welcoming and extremely helpful. There are a variety of personalities staying there and you are guaranteed to meet someone who can make you feel at home. There's something going on almost every night which everyone is welcome to tag along to. Travelling alone, it was great to get information about San Francisco from people who lived there and really knew the city, and you get provided with a map of the city upon arrival. Te hostel is situated close by to trains and buses so getting around should be no trouble at all. I would recommend this hostel to anyone!
