Review of Hostelling International San F...

This was my first experience staying in a hostel, ...

This was my first experience staying in a hostel, but being in the military and experiencing dorm style accommodations I knew what to expect. This is a very professionally operated, clean hostel with excellent amenities in one of the best locations in San Francisco.

Staff was very nice and helpful, the rooms were old and dated but very clean. The showers were hot and breakfast bagels were delicious. Parking is available at Mason garage across the street, and every shop, restaurant and convenience you can think of is one or two blocks away walking and easy to get to. Public transportation (bus, subway, streetcar) are all within one block walking.

The beds were comfortable, and my only issue was the rooms were not air conditioned and there were no fans. In August, it was really humid and warm in the rooms. Other than that, I had no issues. At night, you will hear the sounds of vagrants and people in the streets, but that is the sound of San Francisco at night.

I will definitely stay here again in the future on my travels to San Francisco. The price is excellent, and the location is perfect for travelers looking to be in the center of San Francisco.
