Since you're visiting the 'City by the Bay,' why not stay right on the waterfront? Located in historic Fort Mason, HI-San Francisco Fisherman's Wharf is surrounded by National Park land on one side, and breathtaking views of the Bay, Alcatraz, and the Golden Gate Bridge on the other.

Grab your free breakfast at our healthy, organic Cafe Franco before heading out to explore nearby Fisherman's Wharf, Pier 39, North Beach (Little Italy), or the posh Marina district, then come back to relax on the sundeck or in front of our wood burning stove.

To experience city life, hop on a MUNI bus just outside the park, or join us for free and cheap activities like pub crawls, walking tours, museum visits, and day trips to Muir Woods, wine country, Yosemite, and beyond.

Other hostel amenities include FREE WIFI, free linens and towels, daily housekeeping, laundry facilities, a fully equipped kitchen, a brand new TV room, and discounted shuttle service to and from the airport. In addition to dorms, we have private rooms sleeping up to 4 people.
