Respect other guests if you...

Liked: Cleanliness:Shower and restroom are always clean. Also availability of shower was good. Shower gel, Shampoo, and conditioner were in a shower. Just make sure to have a towel. Breakfast: Bagle, Yogurt and Coffee made my breakfast table like a home.
Disliked: A person who shared a room with three of us was very messy. I think she needs to learn how to use the room with others.

Frisco resting place.

Liked: Breakfast every morning. The breakfast gals really made my day with the great breakfast. Eating out with others from hostel. Directions from staff, entertainment.
Disliked: Noise from bar across the street for almost 24 hours on Fri and sat nights .Convenient location to everything ,except for bars deep base music and people in room snoring. They should get their own room!

Amazing experience

Liked: One of the best hostel I ever stayed! I was impressed by the cleaning and how people are respectful. The common area is great, you can easily working over there. There is everything to cook and store food and someone is here 24/7.

Excellent hostel, loved the shared...

Liked: locatio is close to tourist destinations, although it is in the middle of a "red zone" meaning lots of strip clubs around

A great choice

Liked: If you're on a budget and enjoy hostelling this is the place to be. It's in China Town and walkable to the waterfront and easy access to public transport. The hostel might have been an old dance club at one time with a glitter ball in the ballroom and a piano on a pedestal, crazy carpet; just a fun vibe overall. The staff organise something different every night eg free meal in, subsidised meal out etc. I'm female, 64 years old, travelling solo and never once felt out of place inside or unsafe outside. Great choice
Disliked: I would have liked privacy curtains around the bunk like they do in the Tortoise in Seattle but hey, we're all girls together so no big deal really.
