Vintage is in, and HI-San Francisco City Center has all the charm and character that goes with it. Once the Atherton Hotel, 1920s details accent the hostel's more modern amenities: Connect to the free WiFi in our marble-tiled lobby, mingle with other travelers in the parlor-style cafe, or relax in a common room on one of the mahogany-railed balconies overlooking the lobby. For many a weary traveler, the best feature of all is the full, private bathroom in every room -- including dorms! Ivy's Place -- the Prohibition-era speakeasy downstairs -- no longer sells moonshine, but we more than make up for it with free breakfast, $1 all-you-can-eat pancakes and eggs, and an evening cafe serving beer, wine, and snacks 6 p.m. - midnight. From the hostel, join the free or cheap activities we organize for guests -- we've got you covered for weekly pub crawls and hostel dinners, walking tours of Chinatown, downtown, and more, museum visits, group festival outings, and organized day trips to places like Muir Woods, wine country, and Yosemite. Off the beaten tourist path but still close to it all, the City Center Hostel is located between the gritty Tenderloin district and the clean marble columns of the city's Civic Center and arts districts. The neighborhood is a hub for some of the city's best cheap cuisine as well as great nightclubs and music venues, big and small. The hostel is centrally located and close to public transit. Amenities include free linens and towels, daily housekeeping, and a full professional-grade kitchen. -------------------- "Stylish, newly renovated digs near alternative clubs and the city's best affordable restaurants." --Collegian magazine "A sensational base camp for an assault on the city." --Lonely Planet "A spiffy new hostel… It's friendly, funky, and California cool: good for meeting other travelers, since there are plenty of activities laid on." --Rough Guide
The hostel is 7 blocks from the Civic Center BART station, and is convenient to many MUNI bus lines for easy access to the rest of San Francisco!
