As my first solo trip to San Fran, I was a little nervous to stay in a communal hostel; but from my first night I felt very at home. A quick search on Google maps made The Adelaide easy to find - Upon arriving the receptionist was very helpful and answered all of my concerns and questions with patience, the... More

When we got there and dragged our suitcases up the stairs to the reception, where a man was stood there in no rush to help us weak girls. He told us that we were to go to Dakota Hotel round the corner for our private room. We... More

I had a fantastic time at this hostel! I booked a 4 bed female dorm and only ended up sharing with one other girl and we both had double beds! Perfect! We shared a bathroom with a few other girls in adjoining rooms but there was no problems with that! There was a wine a cheese night and a pub... More

This place was decent, although the dorm room I stayed in was tiny, somewhat dingy, and the beds were incredibly squeaky, making it hard to sleep. Furthermore, I reserved an airport shuttle to OAK and they sent me to SFO. I missed my flight, and had to either pay $300 to switch flights, or stay in SF another 2 nights.... More

This was without a doubt the nicest, friendliest hostel I´ve ever been in. We booked a double room, and was surprised at what we got. It was up to the standard of a normal hotel room, with a private bathroom, but cheaper. A very nice breakfast was included, with bagels and fresh fruit, and the staff were really helpful. They...

I recently stayed at the Adelaide Hostel for just under a week while I explored San Francisco. I was in a private room with private bathroom with a friend and thoroughly enjoyed my stay there. My bed was super soft and comfortable and the breakfast was of a very high standard with spreads, bagels, fruits, oatmeal etc. The common room... More

PROS:Awesome guests, quite a lot of long term residents looking for houses, but theyre still really good fun. Free breakfast and option to buy dinners (cancelled while I was there but hopefully theyll bring it back) CONS: The pub crawl was desperate at best, utterly appauling at worst. Just a guy with no ability to lead a group going to... More

I stayed in a 4bed-dorm in the Adelaide for 8 nights when I was on a conference/holiday trip to San Francisco, and it was amazing value for money. Great location, clean amenities, friendly and helpful staff, a cozy common room, and especially the breakfast buffet (oatmeal with raisins, fruit, all kinds of jams and bagles, and even Nutella) made my...

I stayed in one of the 4 bed dormitory rooms for 1 week in November. It was a great way to stay in San Francisco on a budget. The staff go out of their way to make you feel included through organized games/quiz nights, free wine and cheese and group nights out in the city. Will and Cole who work... More
