The room I stayed in was very big and had a small balcony, which was nice. Each bed has an individual light, a USB port, and a curtain for some privacy There is a private bathroom in the room. The free breakfast is a nice bonus. It's cereals, yoghurt and fruits. They also have free coffee and tea. A good way to start the day. The house is in a good location, close to a few public transport options. You can reach all the important sightseeing locations within half an hour by bus. There is the option to store your luggage for the day when you check out. The staff at reception was friendly and helpful.

There is no fully equipped kitchen, so there is no chance to do some cooking. In a city as expensive as San Francisco, that's a bit of a problem. The bunk beds are very shaky. Whenever one person would move, the person in the other bed would feel the bed move, which is a bit annoying at night.

Very clean. Safe location. Spectacular staff! They are so kind and so helpful and so friendly, and you can just tell its genuine. Spacious dorm rooms with balcony. Individual outlets for each bed and they work! :D There's always oat milk in the fridge in the morning for coffee and the rest of the day for making your own hot drinks.

There are two small inconveniences that really pale next to how great the vibe is here. One is there's a small kitchen for storing food but no stove for cooking. And the wifi is weak/non-existent at times on the patio. Again, only important if these things are critical for someone but really don't outweigh all the really great things.

This is a large hotel with mainly pack-packers. We booked a double room which was certainly spacious and suited our needs. It also included a balcony with views of The Golden Gate! Very handy for Fisherman's Wharf and the famous Lombard St steps just two blocks away. Good bathroom and good Wi-Fi. The staff in the lobby could not have been more helpful and extremely obliging.

The breakfast was, in a word, basic. Cereal, toast, oranges and yogurt but that was more or less it. Also the breakfast room was crowded most mornings and seats at a premium. However, this was the only let down on what is a good hotel at a really good price.

Location is great, super convenient. Staff is friendly and helpful. They have 2 parking lots (limited spots), which is extremely helpful if you're going to SF by car. I found the price for a bed in a mixed 4-bunk beds bedroom quite fine.

Three things I can point out that weren't great are: 1) the pillow they offer; only 1 and very thin. I believe only a few people would find that adequate. And most of us don't travel with a pillow of your own 2) Breakfast is included BUT it is extremely limited. They offer cereal, milk, coffee, oatmeal, water, tangerine and yogurt. Do not expect a big meal right at the hostel before you hit the city. 3) There are no lockers under each bed for your bags (at least there were none in my room). Other hostels I have been too had that kind of as a default, and wouldn't even charge for a lock.

Perfect location. We could do almost everything by foot or cable car. Many restaurants in the area. The room was clean and comfortable. The free parking is a big bonus.

When we got in the room it was really hot although the heater was off (27degC in December and not that warm outside), I don't know why... When we started the AC, the temperature got better. It would be nice to have the AC on previously to avoid that though. On the contrary, it was difficult to get warm water in the shower. That was okay but I prefered to postpone my hair wash due to that.

The location was pretty good to explore San Francisco by feet. As well you have a parking lot what is gold, but you have to keep in mind big cars need a good driver since you have not so much space in the upper deck (check the lower one) Amazing was our checkin the lady that was on desk was so kind and nice (sorry, forgot the name, we arrived 23.6.23 around 11) even working alone and having a hard time she gave a smile and helped with all kind of questions.

The noise from the street was a big thing... try to get rooms away from the street. Even if you are missing out the view for Golden Gate Bridge. Earplugs come free, what tells a story about noise. This was the reason not to rate 10 out of 10.

Out of the three Samesun locations I stayed at, this was by far the most spacious and had the nicest facilities, like you could tell the bldg actually used to be a hotel and they just modified it to become a hostel. What I loved most though is that there were privacy blinds for the beds which I rly appreciated because it can leave you feeling a bit vulnerable when you sleep when everyone can see you.

Nothing really. I wish there were more food options closer by that I could walk to but oh well

The room was clean and well-maintained. Location is great, we can go anywhere mostly with pubic transportation mainly by bus. They offer a simple breakfast everyday which is a plus. It's not much simply oats and some fruits but it's still great. 24/7 free tea/coffee you can get after a long day of travelling.

The building itself makes so much noises. We can hear anyone walking, closing the door, or flush the toilet. Other than that, it was a pretty good stay.

We had a private room which was very spacious and had a fridge which was needed with the hot weather.

The bathroom is a bit old school but was no issue to us.

Samesun is an amazing deal for what you get. I opted for the 4 person dorm room - a spacious and comfortable room that came with a very clean bathroom (with a bathtub!), and beds with curtains for complete privacy. The communal space in the lobby is very small for a hostel, but on the flip side it forces guests to interact with each other.

It is nice to have a free breakfast, but the offerings at Samesun are not very memorable or healthy. They would take it to the next level if they had more options than sweet processed breakfast cereal and sweet yogurt.
