Liked: Location was moderately convenient to reach various parts of San Francisco and staffs were helpful. For the price I paid, the facilities were satisfactory.

Disliked: Depending on the room, many guests complained about bed bugs. I and several other roommates suffered several bites from the bug, and I can spot many of them even at this time. I also wished the bathrooms would be cleaner. As mentioned by the staff, I hope the facility will go through renovations and refurbishments to keep it's good value and improved cleanliness.

Liked: Location, easy check-in and out, friendly atmosphere, newer facility, free bagel & coffee in the morning, quiteness of the rooms, easy access to transportation and convenient grocery & supermarkets.

Disliked: BedBugs (one dead bedbug seen on bedsheet).... Intermittent WIFI (these two mentioned above could be improved.) I have recommended a bedbug company to them. Just one treatment, and they should be okay.

Liked: Nothing

Disliked: BED BUGS infestation. The staff doesn't even care. Very dirty everywhere in the hostel. Sink drains were backed up. Goodluck trying to sleep on the weekend - loud music from their "club" - a pathetic place where nobody goes, but they still need to blast their music. A disgusting, terrible place to stay. Go elsewhere!

Liked: Nothing

Disliked: BED BUGS! Watch out- the property is infested and the staff/owners don't care.They are very rude and lazy and play games with their guests. The hallways smell like urine. The hostel floors are not secure from the night club. Guests smoke in the rooms and leave the windows open. Elements hostel is very dirty and poorly run. This is a terrible place to stay, please stay else where.
