Hi San Francisco Downtown Hostel

Very good hostel. This hostel is very well-run. The hostel is located in a great area of San Francisco. I booked well in advance and got a good price (around $70 for a 3 person room- $96 after taxes and HI non-member fees), but I know that the price goes up considerably, so book earlier. Breakfast was very good and the kitchen was very nice. Parking - I just wanted to clarify with people in case they have a car. There is a parking garage that has parking for 35 or 39 across the street. There are some other options around too. If you are there on a weekend, you can park on the streets nearby, but just beware of all of the street cleaning schedules (they are posted). Some say no parking between 6-8am every day and others say no parking during those times for specific days. So you can get away without paying for parking at all, like I did, if you are careful.

I get that in hostels you have to do things yourself, but I ended up having to put the sheets on the bed in my private room on the top bunk late at night after my travel companion went to bed). Obviously, if I had noticed this earlier than I would have done it myself, but I think the bottom bed was already made, so I didn't notice. Considering the price that people are paying for a hostel like this, I thought that the bed could have already been made. Maybe this is how they show that they are providing clean linen...
