Location, location, location! HI-San Francisco Downtown is at the center of everything: cable cars, Chinatown, Museum Row, Union Square, and plenty of world-class shopping, restaurants, theaters, and bars. With so much to do, you'll spend all your time outside the hostel -- but we keep it squeaky clean and comfy for when you get back. The hostel is fresh from a recent renovation, and our housekeeping staff make daily rounds.
Other perks to make your stay as smooth as possible include free WiFi, free breakfast, free linens and towels, laundry facilities, a new, fully equipped guest kitchen, and a theater-style TV room. We have both private rooms and 4-bed dorms, including many with private bathrooms.
Even better, you don't need to look further than the front desk to plan your stay -- we organize free and cheap daily activities like pub crawls, walking tours, museum visits, and day trips to places like Muir Woods, wine country, or Yosemite.
