Lots of things to say about this gem. Located less than a mile away from Embarcadero and BART. Everything in the description is how it is. Easy check-in and out. Towels are $1 rental. Sauna was available as requested. Everyone was very friendly. You make your own breakfast, bagels and coffee. I booked this hostel as part of my bucket list and also because I was running the SF marathon this weekend. Gotta admit, the pub across the street is pretty loud.. had trouble sleeping. But overall, good experience and price for a lil get away experience:)
Definitely be back!
