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!

Visiting from Canada, the hostel was cheap and conveniently located but nothing more than that. If you have high standards wouldn’t recommend.
