La San Francisco III

I only booked for a few hours before my flight, so I could leave my bag, shower, and stretch my legs. The rooms are spacious and bright, though sleeping might be harder because there are no blinds on the windows. The bunk bed was really unstable and swayed a lot, and its ladder was broken with lots of nails that could hurt someone. It was a good thing I only needed it briefly. The location is very good. The communication beforehand was friendly, but once there I had trouble finding staff. They seem to take turns and no one is around all the time.

The room was tiny and gloomy, with bars on the window and nowhere to plug in my phone overnight. Sharing it with four other people was uncomfortable. The front photo doesn’t match what’s advertised. The location, just a block from the plaza, and the service were the only things I liked. I won’t be back.

There are so many mosquitoes, they really need to do something about them. There’s no reception, and the room could be cleaner. A curtain to block the morning light would help too.

I only spent one night here, but felt right at home. The other guests and the staff were both so friendly. It’s a beautiful hostel and very well equipped, with an excellent internet connection, good showers, and a kitchen stocked with what you need. The place was really clean too. Highly recommended.
