this was my second time staying at the Red Vic and it was just as good! clean and accommodating for a hostel. i'm a big fan of the interaction-less keypad check-in as I often get into the city late and tired. the view of Haight St. is always lovely. the skylight had me up with the sun which was just what I wanted. plenty of shared bathrooms so no issues there. the in-room sink is a real plus too. I will be back again for sure.
