Was our first stay in a hostel and it was a very good experience. Three of us stayed in triple room, so we really had a private accommodation. Room was small, cozy and clean. Bathrooms are nice and clean with shampoo/conditioner/showergel dispensers. You may bump into a 5 min line in the morning rush hour, though it was not a big problem for us.
Staff is friendly and helpful.
The main dining/meeting room is awesome. Very nice place to chow through your breakfast and chat with people. Breakfast arrangement is rather good. Fresh bagels and bread for toasting, cream cheese, coffee, juice, oatmeal and eggs for cooking. You cook your breakfast the way you want and you get is as fresh as possible.
Location is fun. On the edge of Chinatown. Tons of good Asian places to eat. About 15 min walk distance from BART, which proved to be very handy.
