As stated earlier, I saw a mouse scurry across the lounge area while I was preparing a meal in the adjacent kitchen. I have a phobia with mice so it greatly startled me. Also, the owner was initially abrasive on the phone, not a good 1st impression.

I had a fantastic stay at The European Hostel in San Francisco! The atmosphere was welcoming, the location was convenient, and the vibe was perfect for travelers looking to explore the city on a budget. What really made my stay memorable was the amazing staff – everyone was incredibly friendly, helpful, and always willing to go the extra mile to make guests feel at home. They truly care about creating a comfortable and safe environment for everyone. A special shoutout to Nick, the Hostel Manager, whose leadership and dedication were clearly reflected in every corner of the hostel. Nick is professional, attentive, and always available with a warm smile and helpful advice. His local knowledge and calm, organized presence made everything smooth and stress-free. Whether it was helping with directions, recommending hidden gems, or just having a friendly chat – Nick made a real difference in the overall experience. If you’re looking for a clean, affordable, and friendly place to stay in San Francisco, The European Hostel is a top choice. Highly recommended – I’ll definitely be back!

Smelled awful and the kitchen and bathrooms were filthy. The staff were not courteous, and we heard the owner bad-mouth other guests in the shared kitchen. You can't beat the price though, and the room itself was fine. If this is all that's affordable for you, you'll be alright.

I had a wonderful stay at the hostel! The place is always clean, and the staff is incredibly friendly and helpful—always ready to assist whenever you reach out. I also had the chance to meet new guests and truly enjoyed my time here. I'm definitely planning to come back soon and even extend my stay next time. A special shoutout to the manager, Nick! He’s one of the most dedicated and kind-hearted people I’ve met. He treats the hostel like his own home and goes above and beyond to ensure every guest is comfortable. He even steps in to clean and maintain the space himself, which is truly admirable. Nick is also very attentive to safety and house rules, making sure everyone respects the space and each other. Unfortunately, some guests don't always understand that a hostel has shared rules and responsibilities, but Nick handles those situations with professionalism and care. Overall, I deeply respect Nick's efforts and the way he manages the hostel. He truly makes it feel like a welcoming and safe place for all. Highly recommended!

Questionable Age Limitations

Management refused to allow me to stay here due to my age (I am 33 years old). Their age requirements seem to fluxuate from day to day and other travelers have stated they have had same issues with the business who are significantly younger than me. Hotels.com refused to cancel the reservation or refund me.

Decent Hostel

The hostel is doing a good job of renovating. The staff also take safety and security very seriously. Unfortunately, there is a lot of homeless people in the area. The building is older, but they have updated the bathrooms and added USB charging ports into the electric sockets.
