Very Good
- Location of the property was good and it was reasonably safe in the streets even though the Tenderloin area in SF generally has safety concerns. It seemed this was a relatively safer part of the area. - The cleaning ladies are doing a great job as the bathrooms and rooms were consistently clean. - Living rooms and kitchen were spacious and nice to hang out in - There was an elevator which made the movement with bags easier
A guy who stayed in my room had some attitude and hygiene issues. He smelled a bit but honestly nothing out of the norm for a 4-bed male dorm in a budget hostel. The main issue was with his attitude as in the morning he complained about me using the sink faucet in the room and about the smell of my Axe deodorant. Upside is when I complained at the front desk, they were quick and helpful to take action by moving me to a different room and leaving a note on his profile.

Disappointing
The staff is quite helpful, they changed the room when I asked for it, and I could store my luggage
I booked it because I know other HI Hostels, however, this one is WAY worse - way smaller, no proper common space, the building is super old, and the rooms are tiny. On top of that the neighborhood is full of homeless people and the hostel itself also hosts some particular guests...

I loved that it felt nice and quaint. Definitely has different vibes on the inside than the outside. Super cool.
No complaints.

Wonderful
The public areas were adorable, a nice lobby, lounge and kitchen. I appreciated the amenities in the lobby, such as free coffee, cheap snacks and toiletries. The private room was quite comfy as well. The staff were super friendly and had great tips to help us find our way to the OAK airport out.
Some of the pillows were very thick and uncomfortable. There were however other pillows available in our room!

I liked the organization and the cleanliness at this hostel. The location was also amazing in San Francisco.
Staff was a bit rude and different people provided contradictory instructions.
