Staying in a hostel usually means a couple things. Affordable because of sharing spaces, and sharing space with other travelers. This place is affordable (so I still think it’s worth it), but there are not so many fellow travelers there. This place seems to cater more to the local crowd who are looking for a cheap place to live. That’s fine I guess, but it led to some weird vibes and and a different energy than I am used to. But the location is great being directly across from a BART station. Overall I was satisfied. But would recommend keeping lower expectations.
