First time hostel, great experience. Super helpful staff and property is clean for a hostel. If you are exploring a city or want a cost effective lodging and don't mind losing some privacy that comes with a hostel then you can't go wrong.

Lovely place to stay in San Francisco if you want to meet new people while having a more realistic feel for living in the city (vs. hotel living). Space is quiet and roomy with a lot of different people coming into the hostel. Plus there's activities to do daily and great recommendations of things to try hung up on the walls in the common room.

Nice place

Es un sitio tranquilo y bien ubicado cerca de Chinatown, el staff es muy amigable y el ambiente en general es agradable. Si tienen mucho equipaje mejor considerar dos veces este lugar pues se deben subir 4 pisos por las escaleras cargando todo.

Has just what you need, with a lobby where you'll meet up and hang out with people. It's in Chinatown, so there's a variety of eateries to choose from within just a few minutes walking distance. It's a group hostel but you can feel pretty safe keeping your belongings here.

I like the diversity of the evening program they offer. And the hospitality of the staff. I also like the concept of making your own breakfast. I think they can do better in terms of cleaning.

Room - clean, quiet, and I got sound sleep Service - ITH was wonderful in waiting for me to check in after a long travel day on the plane, provide me a tour and pour me water when I got there. ITH has also been kind to lend me a lock for storage under my bed. I also forgot my suit when I left in the early morning in the dark and they were the ones who messaged me about it and willingly to keep it safe for me until my next return. I'm looking forward to my next stay here and longer. Location - super convenient to all the places in downtown where I had events at all between 3-7 min walk. Just don't miss it - it's definitely a hidden gem.
