light on the stairs at night

Muy buena ubicación y muy lindo el hostal! Volvería y recomiendo!

Capaz el personal es muy poco brusco pero después todo bien

Rooms and pretty big space.

Nothing

Perfect location in Union Square zone. Free breakfast included. Staff was really friendly. The private bedroom with bathroom I shared with my daughter was really nice. We store our luggage during a two day trip to Yosemite without any problem or cost. Price was unbeatable for San Francisco.

Everything met my expectations, considering that it's a hostel, not a hotel.

Can't say enough good things about this hostel. I left a more detailed review for another set of dates that I stayed here. It's clean, desk staff and housekeeping staff are wonderful, the location is very central to lots of fun things and the rates are great. Stay here if you can! It's got a great vibe!

I've stayed here several times. It is truly one of the best hostels I've ever stayed in. Desk staff is friendly and very helpful, with lots of helpful tips for getting around the city. The place is super clean! Considering that there are several shared hallway bathrooms and shower rooms and so many people using them, the place remains pretty impeccable. I always see the housekeeping staff cleaning! Well done! And they are always very kind and cheerful. The location is very central to many other parts of the city. You do need to be careful as parts of downtown are sketchy to say the least. Just be aware of your surroundings is my best advice. The hostel itself is EXTREMELY safe with their locked front door and 24 hour desk staff. And there are also parts of the area that are perfectly fine and easy to walk around. San Francisco is a wonderful city! Recently, I very absent mindedly left my backpack in the lobby for about 30 minutes. I rushed back for it and it had been put behind the desk. I don't recommend forgetting such a thing, as I did :D but if you are going to leave behind something important, chances are it will will be there at this hostel. Of course no one can guarantee such a thing, but it was my experience! I highly recommend this hostel! Thank you Hostelling International Downtown!

Love the location. It's near public transportation. Powell station is the nearest if you come from the airport. Breakfast is enough for me. The kitchen is clean and there is free water, tea and coffee. The bedroom and bathroom are clean. Check in and check out are easy. The staff is kind, polite and friendly. I don't use the lounge because i always go back late.

Is a great place, very clean, there are some people helping u in the kitchen, is is a very good location, I definitely recommend this place.
