20 December 2009 Michaela would recommend this property

Liked: Good value for the money, though a bit loud sometimes, breakfast is a yoke, but at least you have something to eat and drink and there are lots of small shops where you can buy food.

Liked: A good accommondation for the price, though a little bit loud sometimes. But there´s a bus stop right in front of the building and you can buy food in small shops. It would be perfect, if you had the possibility to cook for yourself.

Liked: Nothing. We ended up leaving 45 minutes after arriving because the heat was not working. The staff was unresponsive and unable to resolve the issue. We asked for our money back but have not received even a call back. It was promoted first as a hotel. only by booking did it become clear that it was a "hostel" but not described like the hostels of Europe.

05 December 2009 Sue would recommend this property

Liked: Fabulous location if you want to experience the Mission District nightlife and places to eat. Can easily get around the city from this location. Actually live down the Peninsula but just didn't want to drive home. This place was perfect. Second time staying here and I'm not young backpacker!!

09 November 2009

Liked: hostel building seemed safe & secure in a not so secure neighborhood. we were warned about the weekend club scene & did whitness fist fights from our window! service was thorough & friendly. brightly colored walls made the building seem cleaner than I think it was..so i guess that was nice.

04 November 2009 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Free internet access was good, but staff weren't very helpful. There was no TV in our private room as promoted. Good, clean basic room. Rooftop bar the highlight. Great neighbourhood and good public transport access.

01 November 2009

Liked: Conveinent to most places in the city. Very close to the Bart. Clean rooms. Be warned that there is a club on the bottom floor, so unless you're out til 2am, you will get NO SLEEP thanks to the ridiculously loud techno music that literally vibrates the windows in your room. Overall a cool place.

26 October 2009 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: The hostel is OK for money. It lacks a kitchen and some kind of social area. Good 4 bed dorms with bathroom. On Friday and Saturday there is a party in the roof until 1:45, so plan to go out or be in the party!

18 October 2009

Liked: It was nicer than most other hostels we stayed in in the USA. One very good thing is that you have free internet computers (but the wireless only works on certain floors in the hall). There even was a small free breakfast included (which we didn't know beforehand) so that was nice too.However, the hostel is not in a really nice spot as the surrounding area is pretty run down and probably very dangerous at night, but the BART station was only about a 5 minute walk so that was o.k. because it made sight-seeing easy ... One thing to watch out for is the fact that the hostel is in the "bed bug registry" and we met a girl who had bed bug bites from staying in a dorm, which is a really disgusting thing and they are extremely hard to get rid of, so I would only recommend to stay in their private rooms (they aren't that expensive anyway, and you have your own bathroom!!!), not the cheaper dorms. All in all our expierence with Elements Hostel really wasn't too bad (after having been to the very horrible Hostel Fresh and Candy Hostel FULL of bed bugs in New York City)...

17 October 2009

Liked: Certainly not the staff, they were the reason we left early. Rude, couldn't care less attitude. Booked a private room, appeared clean but mouldy rubbish under bed, broken toilet, broken sink, broken bath room door. Better hostels are available in safter locations. This is in one of the worst neighbourhoods, didn't feel safe after dark
