This hotel is a total scam! The price is low but this is what they do, they overbooked their rooms then if you arrive and they don't have a room for you and you've already paid they tell you they're not going to rent it to you for any reason so you go to try to get a refund they refuse to refund and say that you arrived after 10:00 p.m. when you did not they figuring you don't have the time and energy to see it all the way through they get away with it again and again and again and again total scam artists thieves and liars.

Not worth any amount of money. Dangerous Back Alley Entrance. Room had a bunkbed...nothing else, no dresser,desk, chair,no curtains for privacy, no towels, pillow was flat like a comicbook, sheets too small for bed. Upper bed had dead bugs on it. Booked for 3 nights, Ran out after 1night...Front Desk person Thursday at 500 PM was a Asshat. Rebooked at Hotel Stratford...Great service, Bang for your Buck...much safer.

STAY AWAY
Absolutely terrible, where do I start! Before you even get in the building, the street it’s on is just nasty, surrounded by homeless and drug addicts pretty much folded in half! The owner was sleezy and very distasteful, the hallways smelt of urine and smoke, the kitchen was disgusting. The bedrooms were tiny and crammed in with 3 bunk beds and no privacy curtains. The only decent thing was the restrooms. I left after 3 hours and the owner refused to refund my second night as I didn’t expect the first night. STAY AWAY

Staff is super nice and helpful but I made wrong reservations as it’s for people younger than 30 years old and I do not read it … besides, I have to go to airport @ 6 am and circle out 8 am …. I learned to read instructions before I complete my booking … I cancelled and book new place and no refund from Expedia

I wasted money on booking a room for THREE ENTIRE NIGHTS because the booking process DOES NOT DISCLOSE WHEN BOOKING that it was a youth Hostel only and I wouldn’t be allowed to stay there. Nowhere in the booking process is this disclosed. And I wasn’t allowed to be refunded my money. So honestly this was the worst booking experience I’ve ever had. This review doesn't break any of the listed points on the Guidelines for Reviewing my experience so it should be allowed as it's in my right to freedom of speech this is an honest review of how this experience impacted my trip to San Fran. It was a disaster.

I had heard that this was a horrendous place, location and service, and facility and it was true. I had to book last minute for a friend who I could not put up at my place. We pulled up on bicycles 15 mins prior to the reservation time cancelation. We had to literally step over the passed out junkies on the street to ring the door. Finally someone opened the door, only to tell me that the reservation had been canceled because we "no showed". Yet we were there! After some argument, he finally started to agree IF we gave him the $20 deposit. I said whatever I didn't care I just wanted to stop the argument and get a key. He flipped out and started yelling at me and refused me entrance and kept yelling to contact "Expedia" since I booked on there. Like I was a second class citizen, yet this place doesn't even have their own booking engine! It was truly horrible, and another person left there as we pulled away telling how nasty the place was room maintenance and cleanliness wise.

The room had torn and stained linen. Two of the bathrooms were not in use. The two rhat were in use were dirty. The carpet on the stairs was sticky,, gross like it has never been washed. The handrails were also sticky. We could not wait to leave; unfortunately we had to wait until 9 a.m for the attendant to arrive to return our $20.00 deposit. I am so relieved we only booked one night. We killed a roach in our room. We slept in our clothe.

San Francisco is a beautiful city, but the area where this hostel is situated has a high number of homeless individuals in difficult situations. Not everyone will engage with you, but there are many unstable people around, which might not be ideal for a solo female traveler. The hostel's facilities are below average, but considering the price, it can serve as a reasonable emergency option just for a place to sleep. On the positive side, the staff is friendly.
