HI - San Francisco - City Center Jugendherberge

Hello, overall nice stay in SF, even though there was a little mistake in the room I had booked, the staff was very helpful (Brandon) and helped me to get the good room. One thing : the room price and the tax, but you already know about this! The question is how to change this, not easy, but where there is a will, there is a way...

I loved the breakfasts, the activities and the friendly and helpful staff!

The hostel is great, with clean, small, rooms, each with a private bathroom, and the staff is super friendly. The free breakfast is plentiful, and they also offer eggs and pancakes for only $1! However, the hostel is not in a great area, and walking to it from the BART station is a little disconcerting if you're not expecting the crowds of homeless people. Would recommend taking one of the buses that stops within a block of the hostel to get there, especially if you're arriving after dark.

Staff at reception is quite cold and short. They were still helpful but not very warm/friendly. On the other hand kitchen and cleaning/room staff is very friendly.

I loved the staff and the building, the only bump I ran into (bad dorm-mate) wasn't their fault, and they bent over backwards to help! I suppose people would take offense to it, but the only thing I can think of is to allow people to opt-in to be grouped with fellow snorers if they know they do it. I'd actually like that for night-owl activities, like, I'd love to opt-in to being grouped with people who stay up late, because I feel bad if I wake up anyone who goes to bed super early. :D
