This was my first time staying at a hostel and I absolutely enjoyed it. The hostel is clean, comfortable, has clean restrooms and a maintained kitchen. My roommates were from Kenya, Japan, India , China and the US. I had fun discussions with them. The neighborhood is China town which is very lively and safe. The location is also very close to the local bus/train stations if one wants to explore SF. Particularly it’s just a half hour walk to the fishermen’s wharf/golden gate area. Happily recommended.
