Location, location, location. While I'd highly recommend a room with a window rather than this one, this location is utterly perfect. Close to the station, close to down town, close to plenty of food and shops and the embarcadero. This hostel is still working out the kinks and is going to be more barebones than your average place, but the location is what you're paying for. As a heads up, you do have a toilet in your shower. It's weird, but I suppose it is space efficient. I got used to it pretty quickly.
