Disgusting! Went to my twin room in the bowels of the building for a privilege of $85 per night, paid in advance with no opportunity to view. Two single hospital beds awaited me, furniture from the dumpster, a red facecloth and a kids beach towel. My view in the small window was a pile of mattresses left outside. I then... More

The hostel is located on Nob Hill. It's great to explore San Francisco. But there is not a lotmore good reasons to pick this hostel. The free breakfast sounded great. What you;ll find is a pancake mix. You will have to do pancakes with Maple syrup everyday. Some cereal or something would be a great alternative. We stayed 7 nights... More

This hostel is situated quite close to Union Square and a cable car ride to fishermans wharf (which is great fun). Hostel is located up a few hills but that is the story of the city. To get anywhere you have to climb hills. The dorms were specious with a bathroom which was good. Staff were friendly and the facilities... More

Quite good location close enough to Union Square to give you some up hill to bed excercise after a hard day poking around SF. Clean enough, a few cockroaches aroudn the kitchen, but so what. Good internet with 3 computers. Helpful staff. You can buy a dozen eggs at a close by corner store to add protein to the provided... More

First I need to admit that my rating is biased as I have not actually stayed in this hotel. I was GOING to; however, when I entered the building and approached the office, (which smelled heavily of B.O) I was told by the worker that I am not allowed to look at any rooms before I book them. I explained... More

The staff members are all lazy they ignore the customers and talk on the phone with their friends. If you ask them for help they look disappointed. Moreover room were as bad as the service and it is over priced! plenty of other good hostels around. The hostel also smells like urine

My first time in San Francisco. Amsterdam was easily accessed by BART and a few block walk. Older building, but very clean with friendly, helpful staff. Stayed in a 6 bed dorm and because people were coming and going, did not get much time to meet people. Free wireless Internet, towels and pancake and coffee breakfast made it a great... More

I wad traveling down the west coast and San Fran was the first place I stayed in. This hostel was good for it's location, you still had to walk 15 minutes or so to get to the buzz, but it was quite pricey considering!
