Rachel ClarkOctober 31, 2015Killer views, unique location, free wifi. Was worried about finding a place to charge my phone, based on some past reviews, but Room 4 has plenty of outlets.

Stuart CoatesAugust 10, 2015The old fort makes for a nicely secluded area of an otherwise busy city. Be prepared for low privacy as many rooms don't have outlets, there are single bedrooms, and all bathrooms are shared.Upvote1Downvote- Lydia UnicørnJune 25, 2015Great location near fisherman's wharf. Quite cheap considering it's SFO and the location. Good breakfast. Bathrooms could be cleaner though.Upvote1Downvote

Fran InchaustiJanuary 9, 2017La ubicación es perfecta, tiene buen desayuno. El baño esta bien, un poco frio en invierno. Las habitaciones son mixtas de 20 camas, o por lo menos la nuestra. Si sos joven no dudes en venir.UpvoteDownvote
A estrutura é bem legal, mas nos 3 quartos que fiquei tive alguns pontos negativos. O último quarto tinha barulho no encanamento a noite toda. Banheiros ok, mas até a limpeza da manhã era difícil.

Александр ЛапинDecember 1, 2017Хостел на окраине города. Вид хороший, рядом с мостом Золотые ворота, но это и минус: до цивилизации идти далеко.UpvoteDownvote
