Trois jours à Sf
Pros:

Rapport qualité prix imbattable au moment de notre réservation, emplacement centrale proche de plusieurs station de métro/bus et accessible à pieds. Magasin et restaurants à proximité. Literie confortable et lavabo dans la chambre.

Cons:

La moquette de la chambre et dans tout l’établissement semblait garder certaines odeur peu agréables. Le checkin était complexe car pas de numéro de téléphone local, personne n’est présent sur place mais disponible par téléphone.

Pros:

Tolles Hostel. Absolute Empfehlung

Cons:

Der Check-In ist ärgerlich. Oftmals muss man die Manager anrufen-Kosten!- um in das Zimmer zu gelangen. Leider ist der Ansprechpartner oft sehr genervt.

Great value in SF
Pros:

I stay here every year and I love it. It's in a nice neighborhood with cafes, restaurants, bars, and a weekend market, and it's pretty easy to get anywhere you want to go. Check in is remote, but when I needed staff to help with a lock out in the wee morning hours they were there in less than 10 minutes. Cleaning staff is almost always there during the day and extremely nice. The big kitchen is gorgeous and a great place to make food, eat takeaway, etc. It feels like a slightly more adult version of a hostel, in a good way.

San Francisco Vibe in wunderschönen Hostel
Pros:

Das Hostel gibt die perfekten San Francisco Vibes. Es ist in so einem typischen San Francisco Style Haus in einer sehr belebten Umgebung (Hayes Valley) mit Geschäften, Bars, Restaurants. 10 min zu Fuß vom wunderschönen Alamo Square. Das weniger schöne Tenderloin ist ein paar Blöcke entfernt aber man kann es gut vermeiden und merkt nicht viel davon. Haltet euch westlich und nördlich und dann läuft man eigentlich nur durch schöne Gegenden. Das Putzpersonal ist mir sehr freundlich in Erinnerung geblieben. Zugang zu den Zimmern ist digital über so eine Handyapp, die zuverlässig funktioniert. Auch sehr schön: Es gibt eine tolle Gemeinschaftsküche (kein Herd aber Mikrowelle) mit einem großen Fenster, durch das man auf die belebte Straße runterblicken kann. Jederzeit wieder!

Cons:

Klimaanlage oder Fliegengitter am Fenster wären gut. Es gibt überraschend viele Mücken. Wenn es ein Fliegengitter gäbe bräuchte man keine Klimaanlage weil man mehr lüften kann. Es gibt aber an der Decke einen Ventilator.

Non ci tornerò
Pros:

Posizione abbastanza centrale

Cons:

Il bagno era veramente pessimo. Non c’era neanche il lavandino che si trovava solo in camera da letto.
La camera da letto vecchissima e piccolissima.
Per il check in bisogna scaricare un app specifics rendendo tutto complicato e lento.
Prezzo decisamente fuori dal comune per questo servizio.
