The Red Victorian is a cracking hostel. It's in the midst of Haight Ashbury, so loads of bars and characters around, plus nice market shops... and if you're on the look out for tie die, you're sorted! It's also real close to Golden Gate Park, which is lovely. The hostel itself had loads of communal food, and you can hang out with fellow travellers as much or as little as you want. The room – Gigi's Room – was lovely, had its own bathroom and was close to the third floor communal room.
All and all, I loved this place and highly recommend.
