We had a great stay at the Lincoln hostel. It is conveniently located in Oakland, close enough to the city that you can get there quickly. Checking in and out instructions were clear and easy to follow. The room was clean and comfortable, with enough bathrooms that there was never a wait. The living room was also comfortable and there were great amenities in the kitchen. Most importantly, there was plenty of security, with locks for each room so that we felt safe leaving our valuables in the room while we were gone. Would certainly recommend to any looking to visit SF!
