I gave the location a low score as the hostel was situated near a lot of strip clubs and a seedy part of town. I had to walk down a dark alleyway to get to my part of the hostel. I felt very vulnerable walking around that area as a female on my own.

We are sorry you did not feel safe at our hostel and certainly understand why. Actually, the neighborhood is quite safe despite its seedy appearance, and we do our very best to keep our guests safe. We have a very tight security system, and do not allow anyone in our building that is not a registered guest or employee. We also cooperate and communicate with the San Francisco Police Department to keep the neighborhood safe and clean. We have not known of any incidents where or guests were in any sort of danger near the hostel.

Always enjoy the place-- something strange and addictive about it-- great mix of people. Nice staff.
