8/10 Good
"Was hesitant to stay with the shared bathroom but honestly was never a problem during my 3 night stay, there are two bathrooms/showers in each hall from what I saw, and the sink in the room is nice to get ready in your room. The bed in the room was comfortable too. Other reviews mention the noise/thin walls. Maybe it was a slow week and my room was towards the middle of the building but it never was especially loud, even during the night. The location in the Castro is great, close to Safeway/cafes/restaurants/public transit. I would see the cleaning ladies in the morning and say hi and they seemed nice, the whole place was always clean, the only negative would be the soaps in the bathroom and hand sanitizer in the bathrooms were completely empty, I suspect they don't refill them."
