We are at the end of a RTW trip and have stayed in many hostels and budget places all over the world. This place was by far the most expensive and the worst we have stayed in. The first room that we were given was occupied. The second, which we ended up staying in for two nights, was small and... More

Location – Decent, handy to shops and transport. Very easy to get around the city from here. Staff – Were pleasant, but not very helpful and do not appear to care about the guests. The only staff member we seen outside of the office during our 7 night stay was the cleaning lady. When we asked one of the staff... More

Stay away. Avoid this place. Horrible ! Nasty management, filthy rooms, bugs, really weird people. You'd be better off sleeping in your car than staying here.

I ended up driving out there from out of state with a friend. We finally get up to San Francisco expecting a decent place to stay. Anyways we get to the hostel and we walk in and right away I got the feeling of anxiety and a nausea. It smelt like urine and pot, just like everyone else said. I... More

The best thing about this hostel is its location, from where bus stops and several sightseeing and shopping destinations can be reached on foot. Although the staff is polite and was willing to help me with my suitcase, as there is no lift and I had been given a room on the 4th floor, the rest of the hostel is... More

A friend of mine owns a 6 unit building on Minna Street near the European Guest house and lives on the premises. I would never visit the area at night time and in the daytime it is full of bums, prostitutes, drunks, homeless people. You can easily walk to Market Street where you will find more drunks, prostitutes, h omeless... More

I can not recommend this hostel ! The rooms are so smal, there is only a bed in the room. Nothing else no chair, no table, no coat hook,.... It smelled really bad. The owner wrote us that we can park our car free in front of the hostel. But it was a lie. We had to drive to a... More

We went there in the morning and were asked to pay in advance for the two nights we planned on staying. The room was dirty but we took a nap. It turned out that there was bugs and we were bitten during that nap. So, we informed the receptionist who answered that they would spray some pesticide and to come... More

I turned up aftr two friends said there was availabilty there, only to be turned down, which was surprising because the Dutch couple after me were given beds and they had not booked in advance. I was left high and dry on an evening in an area surrounded by pretty shady characters. I am a black woman and my impression... More
