I had an absolutely amazing experience at The European Hostel! From the moment I arrived, I was warmly greeted by the friendly and professional staff who went above and beyond to make me feel welcome. The front desk team is knowledgeable, courteous, and genuinely cares about guests' comfort—Nikunj especially made the check-in smooth and gave great local tips!
The hostel is clean, secure, and well-maintained. The common areas are vibrant and great for meeting travelers from around the world. I loved relaxing on the rooftop terrace with beautiful views of the city!
What really stood out was the excellent service—whether I needed extra towels, help with my itinerary, or just a good conversation, the staff was always ready with a smile. The rooms are cozy and affordable, making it one of the best value stays in San Francisco.
If you're looking for a budget-friendly, centrally located, and welcoming place to stay, I highly recommend The European Hostel. I’ll definitely be back!

I had a wonderful stay at the hostel! The place is always clean, and the staff is incredibly friendly and helpful—always ready to assist whenever you reach out. I also had the chance to meet new guests and truly enjoyed my time here. I'm definitely planning to come back soon and even extend my stay next time.
A special shoutout to the manager, Nick! He’s one of the most dedicated and kind-hearted people I’ve met. He treats the hostel like his own home and goes above and beyond to ensure every guest is comfortable. He even steps in to clean and maintain the space himself, which is truly admirable. Nick is also very attentive to safety and house rules, making sure everyone respects the space and each other. Unfortunately, some guests don't always understand that a hostel has shared rules and responsibilities, but Nick handles those situations with professionalism and care.
Overall, I deeply respect Nick's efforts and the way he manages the hostel. He truly makes it feel like a welcoming and safe place for all. Highly recommended!

As stated earlier, I saw a mouse scurry across the lounge area while I was preparing a meal in the adjacent kitchen. I have a phobia with mice so it greatly startled me. Also, the owner was initially abrasive on the phone, not a good 1st impression.

It was a good stay.
I wouldn't recommend this for some who's used to a "silver spoon" lifestyle as this is the equivalent of crashing on a friend's couch for a couple of days; not so much personal space, there's always someone in the bathroom, and there is very little regard for your sleeping schedule.
Expect what you pay for, but if the low price was the appeal to begin with, then understand that it's not a compromise to your safety. I found the staff to be very dedicated to their job and that gave me some peace of mind. Moreover, just sitting in the lobby with a menagerie of people felt like the start menu of a Persona game. It's a vibe.
Finally, there are small lockers around if you'd prefer some added security and there are female only rooms if that was a concern of yours. The immediate area feels a bit shady - especially at night - but I'm also from Indiana and was just getting used to being in a big city.
But again, it was a good stay.

Smelled awful and the kitchen and bathrooms were filthy. The staff were not courteous, and we heard the owner bad-mouth other guests in the shared kitchen. You can't beat the price though, and the room itself was fine. If this is all that's affordable for you, you'll be alright.

Management refused to allow me to stay here due to my age (I am 33 years old). Their age requirements seem to fluxuate from day to day and other travelers have stated they have had same issues with the business who are significantly younger than me. Hotels.com refused to cancel the reservation or refund me.

This hotel is a total scam! The price is low but this is what they do, they overbooked their rooms then if you arrive and they don't have a room for you and you've already paid they tell you they're not going to rent it to you for any reason so you go to try to get a refund they refuse to refund and say that you arrived after 10:00 p.m. when you did not they figuring you don't have the time and energy to see it all the way through they get away with it again and again and again and again total scam artists thieves and liars.

Not worth any amount of money. Dangerous Back Alley Entrance. Room had a bunkbed...nothing else, no dresser,desk, chair,no curtains for privacy, no towels, pillow was flat like a comicbook, sheets too small for bed. Upper bed had dead bugs on it.
Booked for 3 nights, Ran out after 1night...Front Desk person Thursday at 500 PM was a Asshat. Rebooked at Hotel Stratford...Great service, Bang for your Buck...much safer.

Visiting from Canada, the hostel was cheap and conveniently located but nothing more than that. If you have high standards wouldn’t recommend.

Absolutely terrible, where do I start!
Before you even get in the building, the street it’s on is just nasty, surrounded by homeless and drug addicts pretty much folded in half! The owner was sleezy and very distasteful, the hallways smelt of urine and smoke, the kitchen was disgusting. The bedrooms were tiny and crammed in with 3 bunk beds and no privacy curtains. The only decent thing was the restrooms. I left after 3 hours and the owner refused to refund my second night as I didn’t expect the first night. STAY AWAY

Staff is super nice and helpful but I made wrong reservations as it’s for people younger than 30 years old and I do not read it … besides, I have to go to airport @ 6 am and circle out 8 am …. I learned to read instructions before I complete my booking … I cancelled and book new place and no refund from Expedia

I wasted money on booking a room for THREE ENTIRE NIGHTS because the booking process DOES NOT DISCLOSE WHEN BOOKING that it was a youth Hostel only and I wouldn’t be allowed to stay there. Nowhere in the booking process is this disclosed. And I wasn’t allowed to be refunded my money. So honestly this was the worst booking experience I’ve ever had. This review doesn't break any of the listed points on the Guidelines for Reviewing my experience so it should be allowed as it's in my right to freedom of speech this is an honest review of how this experience impacted my trip to San Fran. It was a disaster.
