This hostel was fine for the price. Pros: good price, very helpful and kind staff, lots of computers in the lounge, wide variety of interesting people staying at the hostel, ample breakfast, perfect view of the Transamerica building. Cons: The bathrooms and kitchen dishware could be cleaner, constant plumes of pot and cigarette smoke at the entrance and through the open windows, the street outside can get quite loud. Otherwise, I would consider staying here again.
