Good location. Nice and friendly staff. Location map provided for touring and also they also have notes and guides to tell u exactly how to get to most of the tourist attractions.
Walking distance to Fisherman’s Wharf and along the way you will pass by Pier 39 and take time to admire the beautiful scenery. Some eatery nearby the hostel and Supermarket is within 10mins walking distance too. Lots of restaurants and gift shops as you pass by the pier and towards Fisherman’s Wharf.
If you have more than enough energy or you want to save on transportation you can even walk to the golden gate bridge :)
