Nick, 5-night trip

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!

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!

5 Stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely Amazing Staff – Especially Nick! I had an incredible experience staying at The European Hostel in San Francisco! The location is convenient, the atmosphere is friendly, and the amenities are just what you need for a comfortable stay — but what truly made my visit exceptional was the staff, especially Nick. From the moment I arrived, Nick went above and beyond to make sure I felt welcome and comfortable. He’s not just professional, but also genuinely kind, respectful, and always ready to help. Whether it was offering great local tips, helping with directions, or just checking in to make sure everything was okay, Nick made me feel more like a guest in someone’s home than just a traveler passing through. It’s rare to find someone so dedicated, thoughtful, and efficient. His warm energy and positive attitude truly made a difference in my stay. If you’re looking for a place with a staff that cares, this is it — and Nick is the heart of it all. Thank you, Nick and the entire European Hostel team! I’ll definitely be back.
