This place is very affordable and highend for a hostel at this price. The staff is amazing! Everything is brand new and clean, very reasonably priced and very high end for the price of the hostel.

The best hostel in nanja is by far the best in south san francisco. They have really thought about giving their guests the greatest stays. I adore the bunk beds layout and the privacy they give each guest. Since i constantly worry about my safety while staying in various hostels around the world, ive never noticed that they had their lamps on at almost every corner. Because the curtains covering each bunk bed create a seclusion that makes one feel like they are in an individual room, im not even aware of it. Even outside the pods, everyone ill meet was quite friendly and kept their voices very low when talking. The lounge area is inexpensive, and if you want to take fewer calls, you can always get them. There are air fresheners in every room including the toilets which keep the place smelling fresh at all times. Its lovely and each has etiquette for dining. Very friendly people at the front desk. As ives been in hostel where guests can cook, the food can smell awful, so im glad there are no stoves for cooking. San Franciscos quiet and serene area, with clean surroundings and no danger, makes this location easy to find ice cream from salt and strawberries. A few blocks from the wellknown filmore street, which is home to several restaurants where one can grab juicing and unwind with some icy cream made by saltandshake

I will definitely be returning because of the excellent location, which is within walking distance of so many neighborhoods. The beds are immaculate and incredibly comfy.

My stay was fantastic. I hadnt stayed in a hostel in quite some time or slept in dorms, but it was mostly peaceful. No parties, if you arent into that, so no one wakes you up late at night.

4.6/516 May 2023

The location is in the city center, very clean, with free tea and coffee, privacy is no problem, there are buses and subways nearby.

The best sleep station in san francisco.

4.4/518 Aug 2024

I stayed here as a solo traveler from australia. The staff are super friendly, always cleaning and amazing, getting in is easy. Its definitely more Austin street than Franklin but the location is great, the rooms are simple and basic but do the job, i had great podmates and would definitely recommend!.

I recently stayed at this hotel and had a great experience overall. The location is simply amazing, with easy access to various attractions and transportation options. Its ideal for exploring the city! Throughout my stay, the front desk staff was friendly and extremely helpful. They were always willing to help with any questions or recommendations i needed. Their warm and welcoming attitude made me feel right at home. This hostel itself is nice and offers affordable accommodation options on premise. I remained in rented shared room, which was clean and wellequipped. However, ive to mention that my roommates snored quite bothersome. Unfortunately, it made it nearly impossible for me to get lull sleep. If if ill stay here again, im definitely going to choose reserving pity for such disturbances. Considering its prime location, though, we appreciated how affordable this place was. Ideal for those on an extremely tight budget who need tidiness and need somewhere to crash at the last minute or take opulent nap during the day, its an excellent option. In conclusion, this motel offers incredibly good location as well as friendly, helpful staff, and affordable rates. Just be aware of the shared rooms unless you are

It is a little bit far from the city, but overall it is immaculate. There is coffee, water, and tea in the lounge area, where you can unwind.

I like nap york in san francisco.

4.4/511 Feb 2024

Overall, i had a great experience and would return. I stayed here as solitary traveler on tuesdays. It was one of the most simple hostel stays ive ever been to, and checkin and checkout was quite simple. If you have trouble memorizing number sequences, like me, make sure your phone is charged. The doors have digital codes, which is nice because you dont need to carry pens, but if you struggle with memorized numbers, be sure to charge them. There were also nice showers and restrooms available. They do provide towels, so that was incredibly convenient.

4.4/519 Dec 2023

The hostel boasts modern design, is aesthetically pleasing, and impeccably clean, offering a convenient location for travelers. The staff members are exceptionally friendly and accommodating, providing exceptional service throughout the stay. It offers affordable rates for budgetconscious backpackers, making it an ideal choice for those seeking accommodation in the area.

I reserved a firstclass pod for one night, and as solitary traveler, it may be the best deal you can get in town for essentially confined space. The pod was spotless and wellequipped with lighting, including complimentary earplugs, masks and eye maskes. With public transportation nearby and ten minutes walk to japantown, the location was excellent. It also felt surprisingly safe at night for sofi in the evenings (practice the usual caution of course). Will undoubtedly return.

The best stay in san francisco. The location is ideal, the staff is very friendly and helpful, and the place is fully equipped with all kinds of amenities, tea, hot and cold water, eye masks, earplugs. Rooms and bathrooms are very clean, definitely one of the more affordable places to stay around. Highly recommended!.

4.4/515 Jul 2023

This place is a great place to stay. I spent two nights here and it was incredibly affordable. Its significantly less expensive than hotels while still being clean and quiet. My firstclass pod was nice. There were no issues with shared spaces. The bathrooms on my floor were private or unisex.

4.4/525 Jan 2023

This place is ideal for travelers who need basic amenities and lodging. The location is excellent in the city center, close to tourist attractions, shopping, and restaurants. Its comfortable beds, spacious, modern capsule rooms, are not cramped.
