Red Victorian is one of a kind place. Location is great , in heart of SF spirit : Haight/Ashbury streets with its vibe,near entrance to Golden Gate Park through which you can walk directly to the ocean. Grocery stores, bars, cafes, shops, bus stops are nearby.
Shared lounge is very spacious, with enough number of sofas and big tables.
Staff is friendly, helpful and flexible. We enjoyed to have small talk with Dave with hints for bookstores and nearby great secret view point (it was great indeed)
Interior design : if you like psychedelic mazes full of strange objects (like me) -its place for you. Expect anime hints and mushroom motifs. Feeling like entering some episode of Adventure Time mixed with Enter The Void.
Check in was super smooth using locks with codes.
Eden Room top bunk - its kind of dormitory experience. Room is clean and bright with window with good view.
Kitchen is big and clean , well maintained, and well equipped, good for preparing meals.
Public fridge was surprising us everyday with some unlabeled products to take free, which improved our diet during travel. As night laptop workers we appreciate available coffee, milk, juice and sodas, access to microwave and toaster.
There are many bathrooms, and toilets.
Storage for luggage is very helpful before your check in or before your late flight back home.
We recommend.
