Overall, a fantastic option for staying in SF. I would describe Bunkhouse as a cross between a hotel and a hostel. The room and the process of check-in is just like a hotel. However, like a hostel, any/all other amenities are non-existent. No gym, no lobby, no bar, no ice machine, no room service, no phones. There is a "shared" room for self-storage - literally a room where you can leave your bags right next to other patrons' bags, the room is locked and the key must be checked out from the front desk, but with the key each patron can walk in (unsupervised) to get their bags amidst everyone else's. I didn't mind this, but some people might. The room was very clean and recently modernized. Queen bed was comfy. Most rooms have a private bathroom (some have shared bathrooms) and our bathroom was clean and modernized. In the room, other than the bed, there was nothing else. No chair, no desk. Super lean, clean and efficient. Location was fantastic - right off Union Square and 2 blocks from BART.

If you're looking for a "clean room to sleep in" and you plan on spending very little time "hanging out" in the room -- then Bunkhouse is a tremendous option for the cost. If you want a more "full service" experience -- stick with a standard hotel.
