This is a historic place in the park area. You can see the Golden gate bridge from the hostel. It's giving old historic vibes and I like it. Everybody is so kind. You can find cafe, kitchen, laundry here. Shower has shampoo and body wash (I stayed in some places where they did not have it). People from reception provided with advice where to go. Lockers are also available

I can't really say anything positive about a property that does not comply with the terms and conditions stated in the booking (see negative points).
When I booked, the terms and conditions said it included breakfast. Unfortunately the property unilaterally decided to change this, thus generating extra costs for me (and in a city as expensive as SFO this really makes a difference). Their only answer was "we can cancel the booking so you find another acommodation". As if booking a new option on the spot would not carry price increases and lower availability (there is a reason why we book with anticipation). I am still undergoing a claim both to this property and booking.

Amazing location everything in walking distance! The building is a little old but everything is very clean! Kind people and 24 hours reception.
It would be nice to have more hooks on the wall to hang stuff up!

Nothing
It’s a giant hostel with too many rules. Prison-style shared bathrooms with minimal privacy, miles away from the rooms. People also get chased out of the bathroom when it’s cleaning time. Very noisy. Not everyone who stays there is a tourist or visitor, some are clearly homeless.

Shower spots should have proper door not just shower curtain

The only good things about this hostel are the very large kitchen and its great location.
I stayed in a room with someone who seemed to be homeless and extremelly angry at us (other girls in the room). This person scared all of us — she were mumbling in her bed about wanting to kill French people! On top of that, I got bitten by insects on my feet. There are no individual power outlets in the rooms, and the only one available wasn’t even working. There are no curtains, and strange noises can be heard at night, possibly coming from outside. The mattress was extremely soft and uncomfortable, and again — insect bites on my feet. There is only one shower for the entire floor, which is absolutely not enough. The staff is not welcoming and doesn’t smile. Laundry is only available in the evening, which is very inconvenient. The worst part: the hostel is filled with people who appear to be or actually are homeless and possibly under the influence of drugs.

The location
Everything ; it’s not clean, there is many crazy people there, you need to do your own bed, you can hear everything from everyone in this shelter. Looks like the jail.
