Good place and very conveniently located.
It's very conveniently located and quiet at night, which I really appreciate. There were two other people in the room with me, all very respectful of being quiet. The cleaning crew don't really do a good job with the cleaning. A spray here and there and a wipe, that's it. The sheets I had had holes in them. The beds were comfortable. There's a kitchen, which is good for cooking "at home", so to speak. They have recycling bins and compost, but people don't use them the right way. Maybe a note would help. Oh, and there is a no smoking sign big enough at the front door, which a lot of people choose to ignore. All in all, I was comfortable with most things for the price I paid. Did I mention, it's very conveniently located? You have public transportation to everywhere!!

For the price and location I give it 5 stars. Noise and SF grime and lawless factor in the area take a star away. That being said it is what it needs to be and I’d stay there again if everything else around is > $1000 per night.

I bought two bottles of water for A Dollar Cash each. No big deal, right? Turns out not one, but both bottles had already been opened and were refilled with tap water that tasted horrible and caused my lips to react. You think they could at least give you a new bottle of water when buying bottled water. There was a typical noisy people and such, but it was so hot in the evening I couldn't sleep through my bed of sweat since there was no AC or fan. At least I got three or four hours of sleep before my flight the next day. I definitely wouldn't stay for multiple days and don't buy the bottled water ;-)

They are trying, and this is usually a cheaper hostel. The immediate neighborhood it is in is nasty. So if you want a cheap place, that is the tradeoff

Make sure you get a good room on a good floor
I read the good and bad reviews, and I got to experience both scenarios. I was put in room A when I first arrived. Walking into the room it was hot, smelly and looked like a 17yr old’s room (this was a 6-girl dorm)… one of the residents had taken up multiple lockers and they had to have her empty one for me…I started talking to her and learned that she had been in the room for over a year and other occupants had been there for 3 months and 6 months. There was even old food sitting in the window which I didn’t see until later. The lowest rung of the ladder was waist high (I’m 5’) and they had empty buckets to use to climb on. The shower on that floor was horrible, you couldn’t even wash below the waist well because the shower wouldn’t angle down. I complained so much that the next day they allowed me to pick another room. After finding others that were not much better, I found one with real travelers that was clean. Finally I felt safe & comfortable. I also found the shower upstairs that is nice and the one in the basement is standard size and has a seat. The breakfast isn’t bad and actually is actually put out by about 5am. I learned that a large population of the occupants are permanent residents so this is not really a hostel, it’s a boarding house. It’s not in the best part of town, but neither is the Hilton I had to walk to at 6am…but at least here I wasn’t uncomfortably approached…I did have a guy pester me at the Hilton while I waited for my Yosemite tour.
