Hostel Style Shared Room

I highly recommend this establishment. The experience I have had here has been overwhelmingly positive, and notably, it is my first time staying at a hostel. I appreciate the fact that people respect your personal belongings and the stay here is quiet and comfortable.

Great people, close to public transport, close to food establishments, kitchen and laundry facilities, clean bathroom and great shower pressure. Quiet most of the time which was nice after being out and about in the city

I’m not used to sleeping with a heat pump on so was a bit hard to sleep when you are trying to cater to differing temperatures of everyone in the room, although that’s more because I was coming from summer climates into autumn conditions

Not much. Although I will say the place was pretty clean, the owner was a nice man and the living room and dining room were spacious and clean.

This is more a boarding house, people with jobs live there. In the title, "hostel style" means 4 people to a room. And those rooms are small and not particularly attractively decorated. The room with three women was so cluttered with all their stuff that I stayed in the other, mixed dorm room. (I was the only one there but I would never stay in a mixed dorm room if I didn't feel so uncomfortable with the other room.) There are signs all around the home reminding you to be quiet because people are sleeping, and I tried to to do that, but the three people who live there were all on different schedules, including overnight, and I always felt like I needed to be quiet because I never knew who was in their room. (One of those tenants made tons of noise, though, at all hours) I thought something was a bit odd about the many 5 star reviews for this accommodation, because most of them are the same one word. The owner is actually a very nice man. I found out from him that his profession is airline attendant. Obviously all those reviews were from his friends and colleagues, so not very balanced. He also told me that he thought the price for what he offers is a good deal compared to San Francisco. In this case, he doesn't know what he's talking about. While hostels in the city can be expensive at times, depending on events in town, I know for a fact that most of them charge what he charges and at times even less. In fact, the weekend I stayed, the rates at popular SF hostels were lower than what I paid him. Daly City is a dud of a place with nothing to really recommend it for a visitor. Not for tourists unless you're desperate for a place for one night. I had booked 4 nights, but left halfway because I was so uncomfortable.

Nice location if you're working on business in South San Francisco
