    In general, hostel is nice. No elevator to 2nd floor, but there is a handy room with a microwave, hot water, and coffee. I can compare a 4-bed room and 2-bed room, so 2-beds is the best as it offers you more space and a private desk. 4-bed room is tiny, with no space for your luggage. No elevator to the 2nd floor. Restrooms are outside the rooms, but I was lucky always to find a free one.

    I enjoyed my stay, top marks for clean bathrooms, but they need better mattresses.

    - The mattresses! They were really bad, so thin and unsupportive. If they could replace them with something more comfortable, this would be a great place to stay. I'm still giving it a relatively high score overall because I paid 35 euros a night (think this may have been a special deal on Booking, not sure if it's the standard price) so the place does offer value for money and I felt comfortable there. - The corridors don't smell great, they need to work out a way to really air the place out.

    - Impressively clean, especially bathrooms - Privacy of bathrooms - they were individual, and were on a corridor rather than attached to the dorm rooms - The privacy offered by the "pods" as well as their relative spaciousness. I don't like the thought of strangers being able to see me when I'm asleep so this was perfect for me - Fridge, sink and desk in dorm were really handy. I had a four-bed room which was cosy but not cramped. My room mates were nice and respectful - The area was fine as long as you didn't go south into the Tenderloin (which is awful in terms of the number of homeless/addicts/mentally ill, I strongly suggest you avoid it, as well as the Civic Centre). I just walked north up to Nob Hill, into China Town and North Beach etc and had a great day exploring

    The restrooms were smelling a bit and did not feel clean at times. The mattress has also seen better times, it was pretty thin in the middle.

    The capsules offer some privacy which is great. The free coffee was great, and the WiFi decent.

    Would have loved to have some more hangers for wet towels or jackets. Would be space for it in the sleeping boxes. For the lockers a bigger lock is needed, so don’t bring the smallest one you have and most probably would attach to a travel bag.

    Easy going place. Good connection to the public transportation. The combination with the venue is really nice. Just having the option to listen to music in the evening.

    Fun, funky and perfect for my needs as a solo traveler.

    I wish I had brought a sleep sack because the bedding was too warm for me and the fan in the capsule could not do enough to cool down the space. I wish the capsule had a regular plug instead of USB ports for electronic safety and so I could charge my laptop (the desk area was always full of other people's items). The mattress was starting to break down so hopefully those get replaced soon.

    Check in was easy (I actually was able to check in very early) and the room was very quiet. The capsules created a nice sense of privacy. I got a concert the first night I stayed which was a nice surprise with dinner, and I loved the hallways lined with all the pictures and quotes. Also fun to have the cable car only two blocks away. I bought a three MuniMobile pass and road it to my heart's content.

    the sitting room as a pubic area is relatively too small, and there is no kitchen in the hostel.

    every thing is satisfied. staff are friendly. the hostel is clean every where. the facility in the room is caring and new. even the guests who chosen this hostel I met were luckily kind and decent, almost.

    Nothing they can change but Tenderloin isn’t the best area as a tourist. There are a lot of houseless people, who are all fine and pose no danger, but you will probably see some weird stuff especially if you go out at night. Nothing dangerous but can be off putting if you’re not used to it.

    The staff were incredibly friendly and kind. When we had to leave early, the front of house staff were understanding and helped us through the process. Friendliest staff ever! The rooms were very clean and the shared bathrooms were surprisingly lovely. We were put in the Greenday room which we loved.

    No common room to meet other hostel members. Not really a hostel. Not much room for storage in room… would be better to have under bed storage.

    This is a hotel with a unique theme that you won't find any place else! It's a fun place to simply walk up & down the halls which have lots of great photos, interesting information, and related quotes adorning the walls. The carpet is unique and the wall & door colors complete & compliment the hotel theme wonderfully. We were in a shared room for 6 people where we could meet our roommates, while the capsule sleeping pods provide a lovely level of privacy that we really enjoyed! The location is ideal, too! We were attending an event at a larger chain hotel, which was only a 6 minute walk away. There are so many coffee shops and restaurants of all "ethnicities" within a 3 block radius, plus a Trader Joe's, and a Whole Foods, and several smaller local grocery stores nearby, that aquiring food & beverages was easy. Plus - Music City Hotel has a nice fruit basket and coffee & teas set out at all times! We needed late check-in which was easily arranged, and also found the folks in the office to be kind, considerate, & helpful! As far as value: Music City Hotel cost us less than 1/2 of what we would have spent for a room at the hotel where our event was held. And - we could get there in about equal time as it took our friends to get to their rooms upstairs in the event hotel.

    They have not informed me (and any other guest I have spoken to) that part of the hotel is under renovation and that there is no common area available or breakfast served. Most of staff members gave you a feel like they don't want to be there. They were helpful but not very welcoming. Bathrooms were almost always busy and there were not many of them for the number of people staying. Some were not working...

    I had a room to share only with one more female and that was really great. Much better than usual dorms. We had each one side of the room and desk with lamp for each as well as one fridge and sink in the room. In the pod you have some USB plugs, light and privacy shutter. Bed was really comfortable. There was tea and coffee available next to reception as well as some bananas and apples. There is microwave and water dispenser. Paper cups and plates are provided. Toilets have the paper disposable liners. You can borrow hairdryer from reception. Location is really good with short walk to transport.
