There was no hot water throughout my stay and the hostel refuses to give me a refund. They only told me of this when I turned up to check in so they knew the price to stay somewhere else was going to be extortionate.
Pros: very affordable in a prime location conveniently located around Chinatown and Union Square. Rooms were clean.
Cons: shared bathrooms (but we’re clean), there was no hot water! (Plumbing issue), mattresses were spring based and quite flimsy and noisy.
Worth it? For the price, safety, cleanliness and high value - yes, but they need to fix the pipes.
Great option for a quick stay or if you are going to spending most of your day out of the hotel. Recommend packing a set of earplugs and eye mask if you are a light sleeper, like me.
Property was clean and staff was very friendly and helpful
a good budget option in central SF. You share a bathroom and I was close to a bit loud but workable. but with the prices of SF hotels can save some and be central. It's basically a high end hostel where you have a private room and share bathrooms.
