Disliked: A rat hole. No windows. Disgusting odors trapped inside. Not refundable. I decided to leave after a day tour inside.

OK value for little money....

Liked: Its a cheap hostel. One cannot really expect luxury accommodation. The staff was nice. Bathrooms seemed pretty clean. The location is reasonably close to the downtown. MUNI (public transport in SF) stops are close. Its very cheap, compared to other options so the value is good, if you plan to spend e.g. one night, go for it.
Disliked: Kitchen, although I didn't use it was filthy. FILTHY. Corridors have a weird (old, dirty, mold?!) smell. Overall the location is on the worse side, close to tenderloin (apparently bad neighborhood) and such... Apparently you need to confirm your arrival and conditions before arrival, which I didn't know and it led to some confused communication with the staff. For some reason, there is a 20 USD (CASH!) deposit, you have to check in between 3PM - 10PM and check out is only possible 9-10AM which are the only times staff is there. Beds on the shared dormitory are bunk and cheap so the whole thing tilts with every movement of the person above. Shared bathrooms.
