I stayed in a private room with the shared bathroom for 3 nights. After reading reviews, I was confident I'de made a good decision for a safe, clean place to stay in an excellent location, and I was not let down. The room was small, but adequate for a place where you are only sleeping. The bed was comfortable, and... more

We stayed for a week in a private room with ensuite. The room was basic but it had everything we needed and it was extremely clean. The bed was very comfortable. The hostel staff were excellent - all of them very helpful and they appeared to take security very seriously - they wouldn't allow anyone upstairs into the area where... more

Seriously the location was great. Its very near everything. We were looking for somewhere cheap and decent and we decided on this.

The Hi downtown has great facilities - (very) clean rooms, internet stations, huge kitchen, vending machines and a common area. There is no real "travelers' vibe" but it's a good place to stay in town and in a good price. more

Traveling with 14 Girl Scouts we had 3 rooms - 2 rooms share a bathroom. That was great. My room did not offer that luxury. But the public showers and restrooms on the 3rd floor were fine. This hostel is right in the middle of downtown, very busy. I did not like its location that much, but the Girls loved... more

The elevator didn't work when I stayed here. The staff wasn't very helpful, although they did help me with my bags up to the 4th floor. The light in the bathroom wasn't working when I arrived, but somehow I got someone to change it out. I stayed in this hostel for 4 nights. I was in a girl's room with... more

I have stayed at this hostel seven times between 1996 to the present and have had very few reasons to complain. Back in 1996 the area was littered with hookers and the homeless however due to it's close proximity to the Tenderloin that in itself is hardly suprising. My only complaint is the street noise, especially the dumpster that arrives... more

his place is a dump! For the price we paid, (80 dollars a night) for a private room (with no private bathroom), we might as well chip in 20 dollars a night to live in Westin hotel which is down the block. To start, the bathroom has molds stacking on top of the ceiling. The one that doesn't have molds... more

Private room was basic but clean and comfortable. Bad Points Central heating was on in the room making it far too hot. When the window was open it... more
