First off customer service was excellent. The rooms were very acceptable with cable and all my sports channels. Having a shared restroom was not bad at all nothing like I thought. The staff was all five stars

The low cost was paramount plus the location close to the Moscone Center. It was under extensive remodeling so it will be much better when all the work is done then when I was there.

While Carlos is very nice, this place was pretty gross. It is under construction. I hope they make it better but for now it was gross enough that it impacted my enjoyment of the stay. This isn't set up like a hostel. It's an old, very old hotel. I won't stay here again.

Stupendous Value
The room was excellently clean, and the bed was comfortable. Room was well-appointed, with a nice closet, a little fridge and microwave, and a very nice dresser. Mirror over the sink was so low I couldn't see the top of my head, and I am not tall-- but I really didn't know what to do about it. There was no light over the mirror, either, which was disappointing because it made it impossible to manage putting makeup on. The building was safe, and it was easy to get everywhere I needed to go. And the street was QUIET at night. I was amazed. I usually stay on 4th street near the Moscone when I come to San Francisco which is absurdly noisy with honking and industrial noise. This location was blissfully quiet at night. Things you need to bring with you: waterproof slippers, little fan, box of kleenex, blowdryer, hangers. This place is undergoing fabulously extensive renovations. The hallways are quite grungy, but this is a hostel-- it's not like they have a full-time housekeeping staff. The owner/manager is a wonderful fellow. Would 10/10 stay here again.

Good time
It was good for the price. Very safe building since it is covered with cameras. The owner of the place is an ex-cop. Dish tv. Comfy bed for my husband and I. Not to long of a walk to bart. Mini mart across the street. No smoking in the building whatso ever.

This place is not the Ritz and you shouldn't expect it to be. The facilities are basic - shared bathroom but w. wifi and your own bed. BEWARE: YOU WILL GET BITTEN BY BEDBUGS HERE!!! Central location, but the neighborhood is generally dirty, rife with drug users, homeless people living in tents, and human waste (seriously disgusting). Though not ideal by any standard, it did not feel unsafe. All told, you get what you pay for in a city like SF with few budget accommodations.

Not worth the money. Being renovated
The place is old and it smelled from the time they open the door ... Room is nothing like the pics and it's dark dingy damp and just overall creepy . Though the manager was nice the place itself is not worth spending the night or money

I was a little taken aback, at first, by conditions; (room looked as if previous guest had just left - bed not made, garbage can full). Carpets dirty. No air conditioning, or fan. But all worked out ok, as I only slept there. Very cheap for San Francisco. Hopefully renovations will be complete sooner, rather than later; that will make a huge improvement.

The room was not very good at all. Everything was extremely old, including our tv. We still had one of those block tvs from like the '90s. It was so hot in there. There was no fan or air conditioner. We opened the window but it did no justice since the window is right next to a wall-there was no breeze considering how chilly san francisco is. Overall, Id pass on it.

Our stay at Europa Hostel was pleasant. It was well located and the manager was very helpful and present. The general appearance of the facility was 'rundown' and 'seedy' but our bed was comfortable, wifi worked, the room had a fridge and sink and there are major renovations underway. The toilets and showers down the hall were adequate. The street life (handicapped, homeless, addicts etc) outside turned out to be interesting, many of them greeted us. 6/10

The repute of this hostel reflects its price in San Francisco where other fancier hotels charge more. No complaint to the service here. The own is always friendly and thoughtful.

for ~$80 a night, it is what you pay for. The TV didn't turn on and the wifi didn't work later on in the night. The manager is super friendly. Overall, when it came down to taking lyft/uber back home or just crashing in this hostel for the night, it was worth it to just crash here and not deal with an hour ride at 2am. I would stay here again.

Good service, cheap accommodations
I was looking for an inexpensive place in the right location, and that's what I got. I was delighted to see that there was a mini-refrigerator and microwave in my small room, since that helps on doing groceries and restaurant leftovers. When I needed help a couple of times, it came right away. But it's a raggedy place with the showers and toilets down the hall being more raggedy than the room. I didn't care, because it was a comfortable stay and the price was more important to me than the amenities. The Wi-Fi worked perfectly.
