I recently stayed at this hostel for 5 nights and thoroughly enjoyed myself. There were a nice mix of ages staying there so I didn't feel out of place as a 40 year old. The staff at the front desk were very friendly and helped plan a couple of trips wtih me and are happy to book shuttles/taxis should you... more

I use to like the Fisherman's Wharf hostel but then the hostel has been catering to underage kids. Too many of the kids are unruly, they scream and they run around the place after 10pm. The families or their caretakers could care less if these children run around screaming, yelling and carrying on after quiet hours. Didn't like them peeking... more

Traveling with a group of 16 we decided to stay at the Fishermans Warf because of the location. I think we made a great choice. We were able to see all of the things we wanted to in San Francisco by foot or public transportation. We walked out the back door after breakfast and didnt come back until 12 hours... more

Great location, clean, ample space, free parking, walking distance to the Wharf. Got here on a Sunday night, crashed, woke up and saw all the beds were in use.. Never heard anyone coming or going while I was sleeping. Most guests were very considerate when it came to noise. Showers were not great, not enough power and looking for hot... more

We stayed here for a week as a family with 2 smallish kids in a private room in July. The location is fabulous with no passing traffic it is so quiet and peaceful at night. Occasional loudness but nothing we couldn't sleep through. Private room was great (bunk beds) so we had a base to sleep in. Location was fabulous.... more

The staff was friendly and extremely helpful, accommodations were cosy, and common areas were very pleasant. Especially nice was Cafe Franco, with reasonably priced, excellent quality food and a beautiful view! The location was extremely walkable to Fisherman's Wharf/ Ghirardelli square and Pier 39; Cable cars (there's a wait) to Union Square, Chinatown. We felt very safe and our cars... more

We had a group of 15-16 year olds and chaperones, and chose this hostel for our lodging. Knowing the cost of hotels in this area, this Hostel is a gem for groups, solos or even families on a budget. It's nothing fancy, but for the price and location you cannot beat the San Francisco Hostel at the Wharf. The rooms... more

We stay here as a group for our service trip and love the location. Being next to a huge park and within walking distance of Fisherman's wharf makes it worth it. The bathrooms are pretty clean and so are the rooms. Can get loud with groups of kids but they are patient and helpful. Internet access is nice. Wish you... more

From our initial questions & registration, then accomodating our group's needs, the hostel staff were excellent and friendly. Fort Mason is in an awesome location - can walk almost everywhere - and has beautiful views and history. Basic breakfast is enough & the hot showers felt great after a day of sight-seeing. We enjoyed reading the staff's recommendations on the... more
