Room was okay, kinda smelled a little funny, but at the price rate that’s fairly normal
I needed a quick place to stay after making a mistake with my flight. The price for the 4 bed to a room was very good. The hostel is clean and the staff was very helpful. You can't expect "quiet" when you're in the Union Square area, but I was happy with my stay.
The staff, especially the manager, was extremely helpful and accommodating with tips on maximizing my brief stay in the SF area. Tucked into a small alley way in the Tenderloin district, it's accessible to the SF downtown area and all the landmarks are within walking distance.
Uneven and unsafe steep stairs to go anywhere in this place. For some reason, women are housed up on the 2nd floor (2 long flights up). Kitchen was not in operation during my stay which turned out to be OK as it'd be ANOTHER steep flt. of stairs to get there (3 flts. total).
Staff was generally decent & helpful with the exception of one female (swing shift) who was rude, argumentative and unhelpful.
