GreatSolo stay
My stay was 5 nights and I do not have any major complaints. The people I roomed with were nice and we did not get into each other's spaces. The room was relatively clean, just a few things from my roommates, but it does get pretty warm in there if you do not have your window open often. But gets cold if you leave it open during the night. Beds were comfy enough and the space provided to hold my belongings were perfect for my small luggage. The overall space of the room was a little smaller than expected for up to 6 people but if you're organized it will definitely work.
As for the bathrooms, there were a couple times where we ran out of toilet paper so maybe staff should be more aware of that. Possibly an investment in toilet seat covers would be great as well. The shower wasn't super dirty, minus the little bit of hair left, and the water got to really hot and cold temperatures which I really appreciated!
I did not use the kitchen really so I cannot comment much on it but when I was in there for a short time I seen a few bugs roaming. Not exactly sure which bug but none should be present at all.
Overall, my stay was fine. I was only there to shower and lay my head for the convenience of a short trip to work. So, if you plan to use the place as a stopping point while you are traveling or need to shower and sleep this would be perfect for a cheap option. The stay was worth/equaled the price compared to many other places in SF.
Side note: Do not recommend a car. Buses close

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Budget Stay in San Francisco – Special Thanks to Nick!
I recently stayed at the European Hostel in San Francisco and had a very positive experience. As a budget traveler, I found the hostel to be affordable, conveniently located, and a great base for exploring the city. It is within walking distance of public transportation, downtown attractions, restaurants, and shopping areas, making it easy to get around San Francisco.
What truly made my stay memorable was the outstanding service provided by Nick at the front desk. From check-in to check-out, Nick was professional, friendly, patient, and always willing to help. He answered questions about the city, provided useful travel information, and made guests feel welcome and comfortable. His positive attitude and dedication to customer service created a warm and welcoming atmosphere throughout my stay. Similar praise for Nick's hospitality and professionalism has been highlighted by other guests as well.
The hostel offers free Wi-Fi, common areas to meet fellow travelers, and an affordable accommodation option in a city where lodging can often be expensive. It is particularly suitable for backpackers, solo travelers, students, and anyone looking for a budget-friendly place to stay.
Travel Tip for Future Guests:

The staff were rude and mean. They did not accept my son’s legal id from the state of Vermont until I got the police and Expedia involved. When we extended our reservation they refused to recognize it saying my son’s dad was not on the reservation (he was). They cancelled our reservation and said they are refunding our $ which I have not seen yet. I had to get Expedia involved again over this. A huge waste of time for a small, ill equipped dump.

Great location next to a bus station. Just I don’t like the guy that’s managing it kind of mean and rude to us . This place would be fully booked if the manager became more friendly. The hostels is great I met many friends. WiFi works everything is great just needs a friendly manager

In general, everything was bad. It’s a cheap place, but it’s really neglected and very dirty. The guy at the front desk named Nick was very rude to us. He would raise his voice very easily. Overall, it was a bad experience.
