Hostel got hostile

It's a shame because everything was good until a guy came into the room one afternoon and got ugly. I was in my bed when I heard the door open and footsteps. Someone I've never seen before walked in fast to my bed and started talking very loudly "YOU TOLD HOUSEKEEPER NOT TO TOUCH ANYTHING SHE CAN'T CLEAN THE ROOM YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO DO THAT" blah blah. I was shocked, I was trying to say it's not true let's talk to the house keeper together but he kept yelling at me. First of all, I didn't say that to the housekeeper when she came to change the linen in a bed. She looked confused when she saw suitcase by the bed. I told her that guest came last night and hasn't checked out. They don't change sheets every night unless you've checked out or stayed certain number of nights. But no matter what, the hostel should have policy about how to enter a room when a guest is in there, like knocking on the door, saying who you're, what you're doing here, etc. Regardles what he thought I said to the housekeeper, it's not ok to bust into the room like that and accuse me so hostilely off the bat. Also it's a female dorm. So I said this is female dorm it's not ok you came in without permission, are you female? He was like I'm the general manager here I can go in wherever I want. He was yanking a key fob in my face. It's like watching Trump throwing a temper tantrum screaming "I'm the President!". Can't finish review because word limit. But have phone with you be ready to record anytime.

This is mine and my partner’s second time staying at Samesun SF and we’ve always looked forward to staying here and greeted by hospital staff and housekeeping. The location is awesome, the room is spacious plus clean and nothing beats that balcony view of the Golden Gate Bridge and people watching the city life. We’ve never had issues with the hotel and staff but our last evening of our four-night stay got confusing. We got into a car accident that didn’t allow us to get back to the hotel till 1:45AM. All of the parking spots were full so we asked Darren at the front desk for suggestions of what to do. Sadly, he was very cold and offered minimal help and gave us suggestions that would make us pay for $30 parking across town, and then we’d have to find additional transportation to get back/to the hotel. When we asked what guests can to do in situations of the parking-lot filling up, he only gave us the one idea above and left it at that. We ended up calling other hotels within walking distance asking if we can park the car for a few hours and gratefully found a place down the block. In all, we would come and stay at Samesun SF again because I know that was just one instance. But coming home after a few days from this trip, this interaction really stuck with us. I figured to say some customer-service empathy at the time would have been good enough at those late hours.

Excellent property. Comfortable room with its own bathroom, sink, closet with hangers, safe, fridge, desk. The staff was welcoming and the other guests were great. The kitchen area with tables and couches had a community feel area. It felt safe, unlike most places in San Francisco.

First time hostel user (42f) The reason I put my age is because I've heard that some hostels cater to the younger 20s crowd. I did not feel out of place at all, being too old, or out or touch as I'd never stayed in a hostel before. They let me check in early as they had the availability after my 21hr train ride. Was such a blessing. There were options to have your own personal locker and space to put your things in the room. The bathroom was private in the room with a locking door. One towel is provided but there were no wash cloths. Sheets were super clean and bedding was adequate enough for the room temperature. My roommates were super respectful and the checkin process seemed pretty good on having good people stay at their property. There was a good selection for breakfast and was in walking distance to so many other options. Right next to a few coffee shops and a really good ramen place. I took amtrak there so I didn't have to deal with parking, although it was very accessible. My train didn't leave until 9pm and checkout was at 11. They had a safe place for me to store (and access when needed) my bags so I could venture. The patio/lounge area was still accessible for me to spend time in waiting for my departure. I had an overall great experience and highly recommend staying here if you're just looking for a place to rest your head. I'm an introvert and I wasn't super uncomfortable either. Great for extroverts who love to chat with others as well!
