Overall Ratings & Reviews HI San Francisco Downtown Hostel

The hostel is near the Powell St station which is convenient to go to different part of the city. It is clean and the staff are very friendly and helpful.

I loved this place

I’m trying to cancel my stay as I’m still at the airport in a different city and the payment I utilized might be a scam from the company I applied for the credit from. Key One (master card). I continue to call to the bank and they just transfer me but I believe they continue to gamble for something is already lost.

Quiet, cheap, clean hostel with good staff. Just gotta fix the elevator. Good kitchen and laundry. Comfortable bed but creaky springs every time you roll over. A convenient location for transport around the city. One block from Union Square. I would stay here again. ps: Lime scooters won’t make it up the hill.

I’ve stayed at a few hostels in the city. This feels the safest and most comfortable.

Very unhygienic and disgusting the restroom are not clean and they smell very bad that we wouldn't even use them. I hated staying here every minute

Great place overall

I like that room where clean and safe. Breakfast and the kitchen was a very nice experience.

Great experience.

Tv in room but had a blessed stay

My second stay here. The first stay was great, shared beds with 4 other girls, room was in the second floor, very nice, clean and quiet room, breakfast was substantial too. I was impressed, so on my second visit to SFO, I brought my daughter with me. Was given a 5th floor room, for 3 people, but only me and my daughter occupied it the whole 2-night stay. The room smelled of dirty, old and wet carpet. We arrived almost 12 midnight, and only had a day to tour the city, we didn’t ask for a room-change for it was a waste of time. I would still stay in this hostel the next visit, for it’s very near the Powell station and lots of connecting transportation to everything, but I’ll be sure to ask for a room change if the room smells.

Wonderful experience. This was my first time in SF and first time staying at a hostel. I chose to stay in the private queen room. The location is awesome, right in the downtown area and close to public transportation. There’s free WiFi and a modest free breakfast (toast, cereal, boiled eggs, coffee). The second floor has a lounging area and a foosball table. The staff was kind and helpful. It was very clean. The room was spacious.

Stayed in a female dorm for one night. It was comfortable. The only thing was that the carpet felt moist and I didn’t know why. Bathroom was outside the room but huge and with hot water. It’s an old classical building right in the middle of everything. Breakfast was basic but appreciated anyway. Would definitely stay again.

Good stay. What I would expect, which is nice isn't it? HI's are all a little bit different, but dependable - you know? Thanks.

Great hotel for the price. Amazing location. A little noisy.

Only needed a clean room to stay in for the night after seeing a late show. I was there for check in and then back around 2am to sleep. I had a top bunk, the bed was fine, no one was on bottom. A five minute walk from Bart. I was hoping for a better breakfast but it was very simple(I had toast with butter and jam,an apple, and some boiled eggs and coffee), but better than nothing. There's also a cafe/restaurant next door if you want something else. I would stay again for the price.

Great

Love it.

I have stayed here 2x and having stayed at another hostel in SF this is the one I'd recommend. It's so clean and comfortable, with a great lounge and kitchen and lots of friendly people.

Well I slept during my whole stay but everything was good
