Facilities such as sauna, free diner and activities. I had a private, 2-person room. Luckily I was alone, because the bed was very small (I guess 120 cm). Room was also extremely small. Very noisy (airconditioning). Everything is old and outdated (including bathrooms). Wifi signal too weak in the room. Many people are doing nothing more than uploading photo's and stories on facebook (computers provided) -- so not much room for a social talk. Mice spotted in the common room.

A pleasant stay.They informed you what was happening in SF each day. Lots of activities for young people. Communal meals were fun and good value. Staff friendly and helpful.

The hostel had free breakfast (veg only) and dinner three days a week. It seemed every night there was an activity or event organized by the staff from art, to $1 drink nights, to bike tours around the city. I had a blast. Definitely a great experience. All the people I met with friendly and fun to hang out with. I am just disappointed that the green tortoise isn't a chain through out the world. I'd stay in it everytime.
