The hostel was smelly and dirty. The guy in my room who introduced himself as a volunteer there, tried to harass me when he came back from somewhere apparently drunk. I also found somebody’s dirty underwear in my bed when I came back to my room the next day and my sheet was taken off and thrown to the side.

It was a good location and the staff was nice. But the temperature was too warm in the room, and there was no way to remedy that situation. Even just a ceiling fan would have been a HUGE improvement. Oh, and no washcloths. 😵‍💫

It was ok
You do get what you pay for, and that isn’t a terrible thing. There was nice shampoo and conditioner and shower gel in the bathroom but no hand soap at the sink. You have to make your own bed and they tell you to leave the fleece blanket on the bed and bring the linen down to a dirty laundry basket, but this made me concerned that they don’t wash the fleece blanket they give you. I did not visit the common areas, but because they weren’t integrated to the flow of the rooms/lobby. I’m frequently in SF but it won’t be my first choice to stay here again. Also a decent hike uphill from the muni train.

The staff there are very unorganized. The bunks and lockers in the room are not numbered do you know which is a top bunk or bottom. Its a free for all. The was a ady who clearly had mental health issuses. She would have conversations with herself and would start yelling. She kept everyone in the room up. They are not concerned about customer satisfaction.

My favorite place to stay in the city, a nice place to stay in a comparatively good neighborhood with a good staff who keep the place clean and orderly. Highly recommend as a safe central location, up enough steep hills to keep the nonsense down. I suggest approaching from above on Bush Street rather than climbing up from Geary.

Good but a lot can be improved
the rooms are ok. People smoke right by windows and smoke comes inside. No eco friendly. Blankets are not washed every time someone leaves, they just fold them and put them back on bed. Bathromms are just wiped lightly. Laundry time is limited for guests. Mostly the cleaning crew use it most of the day. The kitchen opens late after cleaning most of the time. It's good for the price you pay, conveniently located and in nice area.
