We went on a 3.5 week trip to the US recently. This was the first & only hostel we stayed at in San Francisco - we then went onto 2 in New York City. After seeing these ones, we realised what amazing value this hostel was. There's a real sense of community about HI. The staff are more than helpful... more

I went to San Fran for vacations and this was my first experience in a Hostel: It was very good experience. the 4-bed-dorm had an in-suite bathroom, which was very convinient. Also, the hostel is located close by to Union Square and you can get the main atractions such China Town and other places very easily. The main street (Market... more

We stayed here for three days in July in a family room (ie 4 bunk beds) with an ensuite bathroom. Everything was clean and comfortable; the staff members were extremely helpful and friendly; breakfast was included and was a great bonus (although the dining area was a little crowded at breakfast time). We had some trepidation about staying in the... more

We loved this hostel. First impressions are that it is in a bad area as there are a lot of homeless people around , but don't let that put you off because you'll be missing out on a great experience of San Francisco if you do. The staff told us what places were safe to walk at night and we... more

I brought a group of 10 high school students for a physics adventrure visiting sites in and around SF and the Bay Area for a week, and City Center was great for us. The staff was accomodating and security was good. Used the lounge ares on 2nd floor for group activities and the TV room (reserved in advance) to show... more

We have a child with special needs who needs to be with the family and not in a dormitory with strangers. The check-in staff were quite rude and not very helpful. It was an awkward stay having someone different in... more

I stayed here for just one night with a friend as a tour we were taking picked up from there in the morning. It certainly has everything you would want for hostel style accomodation. The dorm rooms are comfortable with ensuite bathrooms, there is a comfy lounge and modern kitchen, and it comes with the perks of free wifi and... more

My daughter and I stayed here with the rest of her Girl Scout troop and I honestly wasn't sure what to expect. I had only stayed in a hostel in Germany previously (it was dorm style) so that was my only point of reference. This hostel is a converted hotel, I think, that's basically small hotel rooms with bunk beds.... more
