This is my third time staying @ Hi hostel SF downtown.... Excellent location, super nice and friendly staff, literally 3 min walking to union square plaza and macy's..... rooms are always clean.... I had a great time meeting people from other countries.
It was nice to stay in a hostel that has a lift. Reception were lovely. Not many showers on each floor but it did the job. It didn't say it included breakfast but online reviews said it did and on the back of the room door it said breakfast served between 7am and 9am which made me confused. It would of been nice to have curtains around the beds like other hostels I've been in but it was still okay.
The building work occasionally started early outside the window but the noise didn't go on all day.
Good common spaces! A lot of people stay here, so expect fellow dormers. Front desk staff are kind. Cafe next door gives a 10% discount if you tell them you stay at the hostel.
