The property offers a convenient location, friendly staff, and a charming old-school vibe. However, it requires significant maintenance and improvements in cleanliness and amenities. It's a good budget option for those who prioritize location over luxury.

The Hostel is great for backpackers and for people who want to meet other travellers. Twice a week, there is a free dinner with the other guests of the Hostel. I stayed both in a 6-bed room and in an 8-bed room and I almost preferred the bigger room because the beds were less squeaky and had a curtain.

If you are planning on making a short trip to San Francisco this is the place to stay. It's perfectly located. Near Union Square and Westfield Center. If you stay here or in Adelaide Hotel you get discounts on tours and bike rentals. The room is comfy, the bathrooms are clean, they have a fridge and a microwave. You get free breakfast from 7 am till 10 am and you can use the kitchen until 10 pm if you want to cook your own food. It has a really nice and comfy living room where you can read books, or play board games and a guitar you can play. Perfect place for a backpacker or someone moving from one place to another. Price is good as well. Cheap compared to most places in San Francisco.
