Really bad experience. First, the check-in time was 10:00 AM - 10:00 PM, we already confirmed we will be there before 10:00 PM but the staff kept on reminding and disturbing us in uncomfortable tone. We ended up being there at 9:30 PM to check-in and the Indian guy didn’t let us get the room because we are not enough 21 while we just followed what Expedia said (minimum check-in age is 18 years old). He was threatening us that

This youth hostel has a low rating but I've stayed more than 7 nights without any issues. Its centrally located and I always have a clean bed to sleep in. The manager is super nice and knows the area well. Always have some cash as he does charge a refundable cash deposit.

Great place not gonna lie and I’ve learned my lesson on reading reviews but the that runa this place even tho he did exactly what the reviews say he did let me stay and was somewhat of understanding. Like I said not a bad place to stay. It was kept clean and the surrounding area even tho it has its troubles not a terrible area just make sure you are not alone and/or don’t bother anyone.

Our stay was nice, We have stayed here a few times. When we stay here we get a one bed private room with shared bathroom. We love that there is a full kitchen for us to use, we enjoy being able to make our own meals. The room is a little on the small side and is literally just a bed in a room with no other furnishings, no table or tv.... Just a bed and a window that is located inside the building and across from another rooms window. The bathroom is nice and typically clean with plenty of hot water. The gentleman in the office is very nice. BE SURE TO READ THE INFORMATION THEY SEND YOU! CHECK OUT IS 10 AM SHARP! Also they require a $20 cash deposit for the rooms key card, don't loose the card, and you get your deposit back when you check out.

Manager was extremely rude, when I went to check out and give the key back he physically blocked me and started yelling at me and told me I had to wait for him to review security footage to make sure I had not taken a pair of his disgusting sheets, which I pointed at were on the floor in front of him. The disgusting hotel is only rivaled by the rudeness of the manager.

I had a pleasant stay at The European Hostel. The location is convenient—close to public transport and just a short walk from many popular attractions in San Francisco. The front desk staff, especially Nick, was incredibly helpful, welcoming, and attentive to guests' needs, creating a friendly and supportive atmosphere. The rooms were clean and the facilities were well-maintained. The common areas, including the kitchen and lounge, were great for relaxing or connecting with other travelers. Housekeeping staff did a good job keeping everything tidy and fresh. Overall, it's a great budget-friendly option for solo travelers or small groups looking for a centrally located hostel with a community vibe. I would definitely stay here again!

The European Hostile is okay. It's average. A Meh if maybe. It's quiet and I got some good sleep. However the bathrooms need a lot of work. If one shower doesn't have hot water then you have to go into another shower that has hot water, problems with the light staying on, and a overflowing waste basket. No this place isn't big and fancy but it's a hole in wall place where it's quiet as soon as you get inside and place to get some sleep. It's worth its salt.

I recently stayed at The European Hostel and had a great experience, especially thanks to the incredibly friendly and helpful staff. From the moment I arrived, they greeted me with a warm welcome and made me feel right at home. The front desk team was always ready to answer questions, give local tips, and assist with anything I needed during my stay. Their positive attitude and genuine kindness really stood out—it made a big difference and created a comfortable, relaxed atmosphere throughout the hostel. Whether it was helping with directions, recommending places to eat, or simply having a nice chat, the staff truly went above and beyond. If you’re looking for a budget-friendly place in San Francisco with a personal touch and amazing service, The European Hostel is a great choice. Highly recommended for solo travelers and backpackers who value a welcoming environment!
