My go to for San Fran exploring on a budget. Very accommodating staff and the area is prime for local food and attractions. I was on and off trains and buses to explore on my work down days and everything I needed to do and get was within walking distance.

As long as you understand the fact that it's a simple, single room with a shared bathroom and nothing else, you should definitely be happy with the experience. The staff at the front desk are as nice as can be and the overall experience was better than I expected.

$50 a night in the city is a life saver
10x better than you might expect. Clean room and shared bathroom, friendly check-in. The neighborhood is ... not good, but this feels completely different from the inside. For the price, it can't be beat.

This hotel is really just fine for what it is. I was a little bit disappointed that their wifi would not work, but this is really a minor criticism considering the price (and the facts that the staff are great and they keep the whole place nice and clean. Definitely a good value overall!

I wasn't expecting a lot, but was pleasantly surprised by the friendliness of the staff and the cleanliness of the room and bathrooms. I like the Mission district and it's colorful atmosphere, and never felt unsafe. The crowds and noise did not bother me, I found it entertaining. Price was reasonable, and with so many places to eat and BART right there, it was great for me. Best thing was late night buses to the airport were available several short blocks away and were inexpensive and very convenient for early flights before BART opens.

Clean, Basic hostel
This is closer to a hostel with individual rooms. The room was clean and the bed comfortable. It is very basic, and does not have a/c. It was cool though, but I would have packed a small fan for air movement. Shared showers and bathrooms, which were also clean. I would recommend bringing ear plugs, as the walls are pretty thin. For the price, it was what expected.

You Get What You Pay For
The service was phenomenal, very friendly staff. However, the area itself was not the best. This was a last minute booking for me so I got what I paid for but it was a bit uncomfortable. The surrounding area is not the best, especially down the street at the Bart stop there were tons of homeless people wandering and trying to talk to me. Also; I woke up with bed bug bites all over my arms. I’ve not ever had that problem before with any hotel so this was a bit of a shock.

Basic and clean with good customer service.
The staff are friendly and responsive. The room was super clean and I had what I needed, once the internet was reset. The manager told me she'd get it working, and she did. Note, if you have problems accessing the internet, it may be due to your phone. I was able to get online with my tablet but not my phone. The shared bathroom was always clean. The shower was so-so. I had no issues regulating the temp as another guest noted. It's just slow to respond so you have to be patient when adjusting the temperature. I wasn't keen on styrofoam cups for the coffee, but for the rates they charge I was pleased to get complimentary coffee that was much better than the typical hotel room packets.

It wasnt bad to be honest. Its middle heart of Mission district. I easily walk to my destinations, including bus stops. Dolares Park right there by 15 mins walk. Sf makes me work out than my own home in Los Angeles. But we need to be careful when walking outside is thay all.
