Location was stunning. Free coffee at Cafe Franco. I had left my passport and I'd in my friend's hotel safe (I was going to a wedding) and reception accepted a photocopy of my passport since I was only staying one night. I really appreciated not having to return to the other hotel as time was short. I got a room with single beds. As an older person, I'd prefer not to have to climb to a top bunk!
The café hours could have been a bit longer, say 8-5, with fod available the whole time. And to nitpick, a small bedside light and shelf for a phone/water bottle would have been a nice touch.

The hostel is in a fantastic location beside the aquatic park cove and walking distance from lots of San Francisco's tourism big hitters. From the grounds you have excellent views of both Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz. The building is part of the historic Fort Mason and the hostel makes great use of the architecture.
The staff were nice enough if a little disaffected, perhaps Californian relaxed. Rooms are a little old and without good AC or mosquito window frames so you trade off being hot all night with being bitten in your sleep because you're by the coast

The hostel is actually very nice. It is located in a green area close to the ocean, which is very safe and quiet at night. You walk maybe 8 minutes to the next bus stop and you are in a good area of San Francisco. The rooms were alright and the beds very comfortable. The hostel has a big and clean kitchen and lovely common areas. So it is possible to get to know other people. The staff was helpful.
Unfortunately there was no breakfast and the bathrooms could have been a bit cleaner. Maybe it would be an idea to clean them twice per day.

did not expect to find this village-like spacious surrounding in the center of San Francisco! Golden Gate in sight (after the fog cleared...), Fisherman's Wharf within walking distance, beds are fine, large closet for your stuff, well-equipped kitchen, free coffee in the morning
snoring bedfellows:)

Fisherman's wharf always had young hippies yrs ago. Today it's changed even though the building remains the same.

The staff was very welcoming, and coffee and tea were provided in the lobby during breakfast. The room was clean, and the bed was very comfortable. There was also a large and convenient kitchen, perfect for cooking and storing food. The guests were also very friendly, and I even had cake provided by a guest. It's very close to the Golden Gate Bridge, Lombard Street, and Fisherman's Wharf, and the price was reasonable, making it a great choice.

This is absolutely the best hostel I have visited thus far and I believe is the first hostel in San Francisco founded in 1981 located at Fort Mason.... Beautiful, majestic scenery; Awesome friendly staff; New & thick mattresses ; Low priced laundry room ; Meticulously clean ; Quiet after hours ; Comfortable and spacious ; Excellent Amenities ( pool table, mini theater , piano , cafe ,and fireplace); Available daily walking tours and good tunes. Much praise and Thanks to all that consistently made this a enjoyable, positive experience!!!

I loved the location, view and interior. Loved the little room with yoga mats.
- The mattresses were horrible (tried two) probably because they are too old. They have a dent in the middle so it caused me back pain. - The lockers were hard to use because you have to hold the door up with one hand to use it. It wasn’t convenient to use, especially at odd hours. - no outlets for every bed. One strip in a 6 bedroom and you’re forced to leave your electronics to charge far away/ out of sight. - bathrooms: all 3 faucets not working properly. You have to hold the faucet with one hand to wash one hand at a time??? What about people with fine motor issues and disabilities? - shower curtains not wide enough, others can easily see you
