You nust remember that San Fran is expensive. The location was fantastic and the front desk personnel were very helpful and friendly. This is a budget hostel and very minimalistic. Small bed yet fairly comfortable, 1 chair in room at desk, no screen in window, window blinds didnt work, no AC or fan. Not a olace you want to spend much time in. Having said that, we didn't go to San Fran to sit in a room and the price for locatuon was great.
