    "If you are thinking of sightseeing in San Francisco this is a great place to stay." source Hostelworld

    "It was clean, in a great location -easy to get nearly anywhere - close to a bart station and buses, and there was a tv in the room (morning news." source Hostelworld

    "Although it is a fair walk from the town centre and the area can feel a little dodgy, the hostel was clean and nice." source Hostelworld

    "I don\'t know why, when i go in the room, i not feel good, the bed not really clean and the toilet also not good." source Hostelworld

  • Location: Rating of 3.3 out of 5

    "Great price for decent acommodation in the Mission which is a good location (restaurants and cafes as well as Mission Dolores park really close) - you can walk everywhere in San Fran." source Hostelworld

    "If location is the most important thing in your travels, then this hostel is worth staying at, so long as you're willing to sacrifice nearly everything else (namely cleanliness)." source Hostelworld

    "Great location near the bars of the Mission but loud because of this. Room was clean though the shared shower area got too disgusting to use it the next morning." source Hostelworld

    "its certainly not the cleanest and best located hotel in san fran but there is a good and fast public transport conetction." source Hostelworld

  • Value

    "This hostel was really far out from the centre of San Francisco and for the price you can get a nice hostel alot closer to the action." source Hostelworld

    "The only thing that was good is that it was in misson an up and coming area and the single room cost less then the rest." source Hostelworld

    "A great deal: Literally the cheapest private double room in town, & in heart of the hippest area of San Francisco." source Hostelworld

    "It\'s price worth it for the location in the city, but could have more interior improvements as well." source Hostelworld

    "in this case alot of problems and 115 dollars to just see this crappy hostel." source Hostelworld

  • Room

    "It's old and is more of an old hotel but there were 4 of us and it was ideal in the 4 bed room." source Hostelworld

    "The room was clean and there was a bus stop at the door to take you in to city centre." source Hostelworld

    "Very bad surrounding, cold inside, dirty, no electric plugs in the room." source Hostelworld
