If you don't mind about the smell of dirty carpet and stuffy room that doesn't have air circulation. Then you can try this Hostel. It's cheap but not clean.

10/10 Exceptional

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!

6/10 Good

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.

10/10 Exceptional

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!

10/10 Exceptional

My stay at The European Hostel was wonderful! From the moment I arrived, the front desk staff—especially Nick—made me feel welcome and at ease. He is incredibly attentive, professional, and always ready to help with any questions or concerns. I truly appreciated the way he handled situations fairly when some guests didn’t follow house rules, always making sure the environment stayed clean, safe, and comfortable for everyone. The rest of the staff were also friendly and kept the common areas tidy, creating a warm and positive atmosphere. The beds were surprisingly comfortable, with fresh linens provided, and I had no trouble getting a good night’s sleep. The kitchen was equipped with everything needed for cooking your own meals, which is a great bonus for travelers who prefer homemade food. There are also plenty of nearby restaurants and cafés if you want to explore local flavors. If you’re looking for a budget-friendly place with a great location, comfortable beds, and a staff that genuinely cares about your experience, The European Hostel is a fantastic choice!

Zachary, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The staff is very friendly, especially Nick, who always goes above and beyond to fulfill any requests we have. The bathrooms and common areas are clean and well-maintained. Nick consistently ensures everything is in order and that house rules are followed. While some guests can be very rude to him, he always handles the situation in a calm and professional manner. His dedication and respectful approach make a big difference in the overall experience.
Ben, 4-night trip

2/10 Poor

Disgusting place smells and looks like it hasn’t been cleaned since it was built over 100 years ago. It reeks of smoke and indian food. The walls have holes and are dirty and scratched. The bathroom are a messy and have poop on the walls. Ironic since he never stops mentioning that this is his property and that we need to keep everything looking good. Customer service is horrible. The owner is so full of himself and whenever you try to point something his excuse is always that they’re not or that the building is old. Also terrible area homeless crackheads everywhere and it never feels safe.
