This youth hostel has a low rating but I've stayed more than 7 nights without any issues. Its centrally located and I always have a clean bed to sleep in. The manager is super nice and knows the area well. Always have some cash as he does charge a refundable cash deposit.

Great place not gonna lie and I’ve learned my lesson on reading reviews but the that runa this place even tho he did exactly what the reviews say he did let me stay and was somewhat of understanding. Like I said not a bad place to stay. It was kept clean and the surrounding area even tho it has its troubles not a terrible area just make sure you are not alone and/or don’t bother anyone.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outstanding Stay at The European Hostel – Thanks to Nick! I had an amazing stay at The European Hostel in San Francisco, and honestly, everything exceeded my expectations. The rooms were spotlessly clean, the atmosphere was welcoming and calm, and the location is super convenient for getting around the city. What truly made the experience exceptional, though, was the front desk staff—especially Nick. From the moment I arrived, Nick was professional, kind, and incredibly helpful. He went above and beyond to make sure I felt comfortable, answered every question with patience, and handled everything smoothly and efficiently. You can tell he genuinely cares about guests and takes pride in his work. It’s rare to find someone who combines warm hospitality, clear communication, and true professionalism the way Nick does. He really sets the standard and makes the hostel feel like a safe, friendly home rather than just a place to sleep. If you’re looking for a clean, well-run hostel with outstanding customer service, The European Hostel is the place to stay—and Nick at the front desk is a huge reason why. Highly recommended, and I would absolutely stay here again!

2/10 Poor

Really bad experience. First, the check-in time was 10:00 AM - 10:00 PM, we already confirmed we will be there before 10:00 PM but the staff kept on reminding and disturbing us in uncomfortable tone. We ended up being there at 9:30 PM to check-in and the Indian guy didn’t let us get the room because we are not enough 21 while we just followed what Expedia said (minimum check-in age is 18 years old). He was threatening us that

If you don't mind about the smell of dirty carpet and stuffy room that doesn't have air circulation. Then you can try this Hostel. It's cheap but not clean.
