"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
Hostels are as diverse as the people who stay in them. There are basics like great customer service that you can expect at any Hostelling International hostel, but many hostels provide non-standard "extras" that contribute to their special character and make for an even more enjoyable stay.
