You Will have a hard time ginding betyer value for your money if you you want a cheap deal in the center of SF

It’s a budget hostel so everything lived up to my expectations. One thing though: when leaving your bags before or after your stay, it’s in a common room so even though there is camera surveillance a locked room would be preferred. And the SOMA is close to Tenderloin area and there were a few addicts on the street, but they minded their own business so really not an issue.

1.The fact people can cook their ❤priority meal Excellent!!! ( only issue some people leave dirty dishes of night before in sink. They should leave clean area after their meal since its a sharing kitchen) 2. Free Wifi . That you can use free network thats a plus. Your stay can never be bored. That's for sure

1. BEDs. Since they are frm steel, need to be TIGHTEN up more.. They make noise when one turn, getting in, or off bed. At times you could even hear next room bed. 2. Though NOT necessary, but Wish there would be vending machine with FAIR PRICE in convenience of a quick drink, snack or water.

I liked the low price, which I expected at a hostel, and this was even lower than I expected. The kitchen and adjoining TV room was O.K., with comfortable couch and a couple of padded chairs.

The upper bunk bed was so low that making the lower bunk was awkward. The TV remote control was gone and I was told it didn't work. When I arrived I was told that I should not have booked a room since San Francisco County law specifies that California residents are not to be lodged in hostels. The manager made an exception for me since we knew of no way I could get a refund from booking.com for what I pre-paid.

It was easily seen from the street. When locating the hotel. I love this windows and roof access. The people working there we’re so kind, flexible, and so helpful. Showers were nice! Great lighting. So many walks of life we’re staying here and it was so much fun getting to meet and talk to everyone.

I mean you get what you pay for. Bed was a little uncomfy, the fridge in the room did not work. Our floor had a busted sink with gross water in it. But honestly not to many complaints.

This property was very convenient, and good for the price. If your not a hotel person and more or a sightseeing person, this hotel will be for you. The management is very professional and I couldn’t have wanted anything more.

The lounge area could have been a little better, but again if your not a hotel person and more of a sightseeing person, than it doesn’t matter.

1. Travelers were friendly. Some of us shared our nighttime snacks with each other. 2. Friendly staff. 3. The Manager is professional and courteous. 4. The location is near Salesforce Transit Center, St. Patrick's Catholic Church, Yerba Buena Gardens and Target.

No complaints.

Nick is super friendly and the facility is clean. It's not always easy finding a bathroom when you need one if it's fully booked, however my husband and I stayed here twice while I worked in the area and both times I had no problems

The neighborhood is a little scary at night.

The management was very accommodating and flexible with our needs. We came with bicycles and did not know it was not allowed. They were able to help us store it for our one night stay so that it would not be stolen. Very compassionate.

The shower curtains should be changed and showers cleaned better.

Good location, close to Bart. I stayed in the private queen room, it had a good comfortable bed. Big kitchen that guests have access to. Heating in room. Beautiful private bathroom.

Room was next to the kitchen so very noisy and must have poor ventilation because all the smells came to room. No cell reception in the room.

Everything! I felt young and back in college. Spoke with people who were up at 5:00am in the kitchen. The price was within my slim budget. Yay! Front Desk Manager there for 18 years. That shows stability. Love and peace to all the European Hostel staff and guests.

I have no critique. Period.
