My stay at the HI San Francisco Fisherman Wharf went a bit downhill than my last visit. 1. No more breakfast. 2. Don't like the attitude of one staff when handling the luggage storage during check out. Other hostels I experienced has very way better handling that situation. Next time when I come to San Francisco, I may reconsider finding another hostel suck as the Green Tortoise Hostel. At least they got breakfast.....and a sauna.

Loved it here! Close to all things I planned while in San Francisco. Lots of radiator noise, which I wasn't familiar with- but I should have just asked and the could have fixed the noise. I'd definitely stay here again

The private room in the other building was very noisy at night. If you’re up for staying up until 3am…it’s not ideal. You can hear people come and go and they slam the doors pretty hard, and you can hear people go to the bathroom. Overall not the best…

Wow! This was my first hostel stay in the US and I was so impressed. The staff was SO nice and helpful. Also, the views were unreal. The hostel felt very safe, with lots of amenities. Prepare for some steep hills if you stay here - but that is just San Fran. I stayed for Renegade Craft and was a little nervous having my entire inventory on me, however everyone in my room was trustworthy and I could store valuables in the lockbox under the bed. Bring an eyemask if you want to sleep before 11pm!

ma chambre était assez petite, donc les lits n’étaient pas très espacés et cela donnait une impression d’être les uns sur les autres, sans aucune intimité. De plus, 1 seule prise dans toute la chambre pour 5 lits… Également, la douche n’était pas très pratique, avec aucune étagère pour poser ses affaires et un simple rideau pour fermer, encore une fois aucune intimité

Alot of people try to dog on hostels & staff: but where else can you stay in the most premium locations, wocialize and cook with the best, for pennies on the dollar and often get better service than a four star hotel?

I’ve stayed at other HI USA hostels, and this one has the same vibe I really love. That said, the cleanliness and facilities could be improved. I would still consider staying here again on a future visit to San Francisco.

Amazing hostel and location. I've stayed in San Fran many times and wish I knew about this place sooner. Great facilities, and amazing view of the golden gate bridge from the top of the hill.

Least private hostel I've ever stayed in, didn't bother me very much, but something to take note of if that's important to you!

My first ever hostel (18f) and it was good! After you get a feel for the location everything feels pretty conveniently close. Wish the charging situation in rooms was better but other than that I really enjoyed it and the views from there were gorg. Super walkable, will def stay here again if I come back to SF

Good location, excellent staff, just lacking in the dorms. My bed had no light, shelf, socket or curtain. All of these are the basics.
