Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Uneven and unsafe steep stairs to go anywhere in this place. For some reason, women are housed up on the 2nd floor (2 long flights up). Kitchen was not in operation during my stay which turned out to be OK as it'd be ANOTHER steep flt. of stairs to get there (3 flts. total). Staff was generally decent & helpful with the exception of one female (swing shift) who was rude, argumentative and unhelpful.

I needed a quick place to stay after making a mistake with my flight. The price for the 4 bed to a room was very good. The hostel is clean and the staff was very helpful. You can't expect "quiet" when you're in the Union Square area, but I was happy with my stay.

The staffs were excellent. Very helpful.the shared lobby and the kitchen are good too. The 6 bed shared room where I stayed were full of worn out beds, did not appear to be ‘clean’ enough. Not enough spaced to hang out used clothes. Maybe, considering the low cost, it should be accepted.

Amazing!!

The Adelaide reminds me of Grandma's house - if Grandma lived in a super cool old mansion. I love the relaxed atmosphere here. The staff are super nice and very attentive, and other travelers that stayed here were friendly and chill. The Adelaide (IMHO) is the best Hostel in SF for remote working - From the Huge Lounge with lots of room and nice private and quiet areas to work in, to the outside Garden at the back of the property, off the HUGE kitchen. You can buy food and cook here and store things in the huge fridges. The bunk beds are super comfy and are very sturdy. You won't feel any movement from your 'bunkie' above or below you, and the privacy curtain is the best! Showers and bathrooms are very clean and working well. The 3rd floor bathroom has the biggest shower head I have ever seen!!!! As a solo female traveler, I felt very safe both at the Hostel and in the surrounding area. The Hostel is very central to everything you need and walkable 24/7.

Decent!

The vibes are good! Room was decent. For a young 20’s something it’s a nice spot to be with friends and meet people. I just personally have a more bougie taste now that I’m mid 30’s, and it’s not the hotels fault for that. So if you see some lower stars, that’s why. Super nice staff and common areas.
Didn’t end up having roommates which was awesome!
