This hostel is a little pricy because of the location but it’s really nice and comfortable. Most of the travelers there are very young but it was a good experience.
This was in a nice location near cable cars and Chinatown. Room is very basic and bathroom is very small, but everything works as expected and seemed clean. It is affordable. Radiator can be very loud in the night but we got used to it. There were a pair of shoes outside our room with a hallway window wide open the entire stay which was off-putting, and the water fountain filter needs to be fixed

Liked: Property conditions & facilities
Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
Clean the bathroom please! I asked twice, nothing happened. BM all over the floor. No elevator.
I liked for the price what is being offered is great, bed mattress sheets were clean and very comfortable. Washrooms was well stocked and clean. Overall highly recommend if you are looking for a budget accommodation at a centrally located downtown area.
GREAT hotel! I almost hesitate to tell people how great it is because I don’t want it to get too busy, lol. Small, clean, quiet, updated rooms with bath, really great hostel amenities- kitchen, tv room, work room, patio. Really comfortable and convenient place to stay at a reasonable price.
