  : No value to induce by booking com. It should remove. I had reserve because I live currently in Baja California. That night I had a dinner from friends from San Francisco.To return late night to Baja is not safe.So I made reserve. It is cross near border. Also they gave discount. When I checked in. A stuff asked me to pay almost $48.But I got less than $40. I told her about price. She said to me " You can not stay here. Your driver's licence address is California. We accept far way people. I did not here that rule. I use booking com in Japan too. I do not have any problem from booking com.Facility is not clean and nice. It looks homeless hotel. I recommend the booking com should visit there. It should inspect. Even little cheap I would like to pay little more to find better place.
  : Dirty and stuffs attitude. It may discrimination happened to me. I came from Japan. My USA driver's licence is in California so I can not stay there. It is just she made reason accurately she made discrimination. I feel so.

  : I liked the vibe and appreciated the effort to generate group activities. The location was great and the staff seemed to do a good job operating and maintaining the place. I liked the notion of the long-term occupation option too.
  : No real effort made to maintain quiet in the hallways. Could have been cleaner, though it really wasnt bad, considering the nature of the place.

Disappointing

  : When I first arrived the desk clerk was rude and my price jumped $30 from booking. If you are an old handsome white male everything goes up in price.

  : Very convenient location in Hillcrest iconic neighbourhood.Good price and very friendly, welcoming & helpful staff .Very sadly, the hostel in this location does not exist any more..
  : Some rooms are too small for 4 people, sometimes very loud noise from the ventilator which functions instead of AC
