Nice hostel Well run, clean and secure. Great staff. Not the greatest area but not unsafe. I would certainly recommend it to anyone needing a cheap place to stay. The bathrooms in each of the sleeping rooms is nice.

From San Francisco International Airport: An airport shuttle ($12 - $15) is easy and cheaper then a taxi. Or the BART train ($4-$5) will drop you off about six blocks from the hostel at the Civic Center Station. BART is also easily accessible for the same price from Oakland International Airport.
City Center is at 685 Ellis between Hyde and Larkin. Click on picture of Map (top of page).
