Overall - a clean, homey place with positive energy.

Great hostel in downtown SF! I've been to a lot of Hostels and this was one of the best. It is located pretty much in Chinatown and the financial district. Don't mind the sketchy blue gated door and small sign---hit the intercom and they will buzz you up (you get a key to do this-safety yay!). The reception area is on the fourth floor so take your time with those stairs. Dorms are back down on the third floor and are coed and very open. I was worried about noise but this hostel is great about quiet hours. From 10pm-10am the dorm floor is lights off and quiet. Very easy to sleep. Beds are comfortable even on the top bunk and they give you a FREE towel and pillows and comforter. Lockers are also large, but make sure you bring a lock. I think they have some for 5$ at the reception. They also have free pb&j and great wifi. Overall it's a clean, homey place with positive energy. I would definitely stay again!
