“It’s fine if you have low expectations.”
+The beds are comfortable with tall headspace for lower bunks. It’s walking distance to major transport lines that will take you all over the city. It’s pretty inexpensive.
−I’ve stayed in a lot of SF hostels; most are in old buildings and that’s beyond fine with me. Dilapidated is one thing, but a general feeling that there’s a lack of maintenance and care is a whole different animal. This was the first hostel that I put off showering until I left because the bathrooms are kinda gross. The shower walls may have been cleaned a decade ago, with obvious mold and mildew in the grout. Everything in this hostel feels dirty , everything in the kitchen needs to be rewashed before you can use it. I will say, at least there’s soap and sponges , Amsterdam Hostel, I’m looking at you. There are rats that frequent the patio, evident by droppings on literally all surfaces outdoors. Then there’s also the roaches, which I’ve found both in utensil drawers and on surfaces , I have photo proof. There are some travelers, but it seems to be mostly people staying long-term. This can lead to experiencing total weirdos or people who refuse to be socially appropriate, and since they’re there long-term, you may have to deal with someone loudly and aggressively ranting antisemitical and misogynistic bullshit at a loud volume, and then wind up having to keep passing them for over

+It’s super central, close to Union Square and Chinatown. Both staff I met were super friendly and helpful :)
−Even though it’s central, it’s also close to the Tenderloin - so isn’t necessarily the safest feeling place I’ve ever stayed. Also, I was on an upper bunk, and though the curtains are nice for privacy, the lack of any form of barrier on the side of the bed didn’t feel great safety-wise - it would be easy to fall a long way out of bed if you were a wriggly sleeper. Finally, though I was grateful to be able to leave my bags for a few hours after checking out, no ID tags were requested - so in theory any other guest who’d left bags in the office could’ve picked up

“I will never return to this location again”
+I liked the kitchen of the hostel.
−The rooms are located in a poor location of San Francisco. I had to switch rooms because the other guests in the room had poor hygiene and made the room stinky. Once I was switched to the second room. Again, the other guests in the room were stinky, but worst of all the room was located next an alley. In that alley, SF community members would smoke cigarettes and other drugs constantly. All of those fumes would make their way into the room continuously throughout the day.

“Great stay for a road trip stop!”
+Good location (apart from homeless everywhere but that’s just SF) the decor was nice and the staff were brilliant and helpful
−The property is fine but SF is just full of homeless and drug addicts who loiter everywhere and make the city feel unsafe when it’s stunning.
