"We had a WONDERFUL time staying at HI-SF City Center. It was more than we expected or hoped for. Thank you for making our stay so enjoyable, we all really appreciate it." --Shannon G., University of Illinois

"The accommodations were perfect and the staff was great... I will definitely recommend the hostels to other teachers planning trips in the future." --Heather P., Santa Maria High School

"Our stay at the hostel was great. The use of the pantry for our group's food was such a huge help. Thanks for being so patient and flexible with me in handling the logistics. We look forward to our stay again next year." --Jennie B., Vanguard University

"We had a blast in San Francisco... Your city is amazing!! Everywhere we went it was crowded but it was very nice to come back to the Fisherman’s Wharf Hostel where it was peaceful and quiet. Your staff was awesome!! They treated us better (with all of our many questions) than the concierge at the many five-star hotels I have stayed at. For our first experience at a hostel it was much better than we expected!! We will spread the word!! Thanks again for everything." --Leesa and Nancy, Girl Scout Troop 650

"We had a fantastic experience at the Downtown Hostel; I was very impressed with the desk clerks and housekeeping staff. Chris was especially helpful in allowing us to find meeting space and storing our luggage for a few extra hours on the last day. I hope you can convey my appreciation to him." --Tom K., Lasallian Social Justice Institute

"The rangers left San Francisco on Monday morning, after three nights at Fort Mason and two nights at City Center. They had a great time, I must tell you, since I was the person in charge, driver, guide, cook. I was very impressed with the way the hostel is managed, all the personnel at the front desk were very nice and helpful, some of them were very excited that they were able to practice their Spanish. The rooms and bathrooms were clean. I was very happy and I will use your facilities again in the future." --Marcelo D., CONAF: Chile National Park Rangers
