Very nice hostel. Felt sad to leave. Breakfast is very good, jummi bagels :] good tea and orange juice all you can eat. Very clean, the room I was in had a bathtub : D (I was in a 4 female dorm) The only thing not so good is the location.. in day and night time the street is Full with homeless and drug addicts, and at night everybody strongly recommends to not walk around the area alone, especially as a female. But because there are so much people around, the people are usually just annoyin

The area is not as bad as many people have written. It is a 10-15 minute walk to the well-populated shopping/tourist area of Powell St and the huge shopping and entertainment centres, and of that walk only about half is in a 'shady' area. The only time the so-called street bums spoke to me was to say hello, good evening etc, I was never asked for money, and they even moved out of the way if you wanted to get by. And that's from a female walking alone after dark. Granted, it had some potential t

The Hostel is very nice, the staff is very helpful, the rooms are clean, and I enjoyed my stay. The only problem I had was that the hostel was located in Tenderloin which happens to be one of the worst areas in San Francisco. If you are a lone traveler like myself, I wouldn't recommend walking to your hostel after sunset, especially if you are a woman.

This is a great hostel. Its clean, it has great character. The staff was excellent and very helpful. However the location was not very good at all. I felt unsafe at night as soon as I stepped out of the hostel.

There is only one socket in the bathroom, which is pretty inconvenient.
