Welcoming
I have stayed here 2x and having stayed at another hostel in SF this is the one I'd recommend. It's so clean and comfortable, with a great lounge and kitchen and lots of friendly people.

Stayed in a female dorm for one night. It was comfortable. The only thing was that the carpet felt moist and I didn’t know why. Bathroom was outside the room but huge and with hot water. It’s an old classical building right in the middle of everything. Breakfast was basic but appreciated anyway. Would definitely stay again.
