Loved my stay! They have free parking good location, curtain on the bunks and cute atmosphere. Only downside is as with anywhere in San fran cars get broken into a lot. A guy who was staying there had his window busted and stuff stolen. Park up top of there is room. Not the hostels fault just beware and don’t leave anything in your car.

The staff was helpful regardless of what the other reviews said. (Maybe I just got lucky) Very walkable and good place to run if you like running. Walking distance to the wharf. Rooms were spacious (I stayed in a 6 female dorm) had a beautiful balcony. Would recommend staying here (felt safe as a solo traveler and met some cool people).

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.
