Location was fabulous. A hostel is a hostel not a 4 star hotel and that is how I have rated it The staff were always helpful, the rooms were clean, the kitchen facilities were good, the beds very comfortable, the rooms were quiet. Thank you.

Directions to get there. Taxi drivers do not know Isadora Duncan St. I think you should put "off Taylor St" in your instructions

Well located, nice staff, easy check in and Good shared areas.

Little cockroaches down the lockers which are very hard to remove I believe but it would help if they just cover that floor with something else!

Amazing location so close to Union Square. The community kitchen and lounge were great. The staff and others staying there were very knowledgeable and helpful and helped me make the most of my time in San Francisco. The room was great for the price.

The location of this hostel is fairly convenient if you need to be close to local and regional public transit - but it's not as close to the BART and Muni stations as other downtown hostels. The shared living room area is really cool. Quiet location on a side alley. Beds are nice, with reading lamps, shelves for belongings, and storage space underneath.

The kitchen was not very well equipped. Sinks in some of the W/Cs did not have soap for hand washing. Towels for showering are not included for guests. I would opt for a different hostel next time.

First hostel ever. Got lucky with just one roommate in a 6 bed. Sleeping situation was better than the amenities( bathroom and shower). Bed had a shelf light, plenty of underbed storage, and my favorite privacy curtains. Did not check out kitchen. Sink in the room.

Needs more shelving in spaces like the bathroom and shower to set down and hang my stuff. Shared bathrooms with the entire floor but that didn’t bother me. Quite outdated but it’s nice. Blanket not the most preferable.

For American standards of hostels, I think this one is pretty good. The beds have privacy curtains and the lockers underneath the beds were big enough to store all of my bags and luggage (need to bring your own lock). The location is good if you want to be close to downtown SF and Union Square. It’s situated in a better area of Tenderloin where you will see some homeless people, but not as much as the worst part of Tenderloin where the sidewalks are lined with them. They’re generally harmless anyways. WiFi was good, and beds had power outlets. My outlets were pretty loose but still worked to charge my phone. Bedrooms have a lock on the door, which depends on whether you and your roommates want to use it. Coin laundry and kitchen are available as well.

Facilities were fine but some stuff didn’t work during my stay, like the light in my bed or sink in the bedroom, which wasn’t too big of a deal anyways. No towels provided. Showers don’t have soap or shampoo, and so you’ll have to bring your own or buy them at a nearby store, like the Target within walking distance that sells travel-sized toiletries.

Staff were friendly, informative, helpful

The room was tiny, unkempt with sad heavily used towels and bedding. The room was right near front desk so I could hear in the lobby day and night, and the accommodations and facility were not what the pictures showed on the website or ad. The neighborhood was scary with unhoused individuals screaming outside the window all day and night. I could have gotten a nice clean safe hotel for the amount I paid for this room.

There's a wash sink in the room. The staff was helpful and friendly.

The overall facility is dim except the reception desk and kitchen areas. No elevator and the steps are high. The alley to the hostel didn't look safe after 9:00 pm - people hanging around,

Location, location, location — two blocks from Union square. Huge common areas — living room and kitchen/dining room. Beds on one side (at least in Alcatraz room) — a lot of space.

Everything was good

Great location and staff. Quiet hostel that provided all needed amenities for my stay.

The bathroom in the private room was a bit small and shower curtains were not clean. Bed Linen seemed pretty old as well. The heater didn't work in the room which made it cold at times.
