This place was definitely no frills (but then again, it wasnt advertised that way, so its fine lol) It was just what I needed and worked perfectly. it was a place to hang my hat after a long day of exploring SF. The staff were friendly and helpful. The surrounding area wasnt the best, but that seemes to be the running theme for San Francisco. The hostel itself could use new carpeting, but other than that, its nice! They have fun little social things to do nearly every night of the week it seems! All in all, I would definitely recommend! Especially for the price
