    San Francisco Globe Hostel in San Francisco, USA, North America

    San Francisco Globe Hostel
    San Francisco Globe Hostel
    San Francisco Globe Hostel
    San Francisco Globe Hostel
    Property Description

    San Francisco's Globe Hostel is a comfortable, modern and friendly international hostel in the heart of San Francisco's SOMA (South of Market) nightclub district, a hip, central location just off Folsom Street between 7th and 8th Streets. Minutes away from some of San Francisco's best restaurants, shopping, and incredible nightlife.

    Our lounge offers free internet access, a pool table, a stereo, and a television (with a small but growing collection of quirky and fun films.) Free breakfast is served daily from 0900 - 1100, and fridays and saturdays we have free dinner parties that always involve wine and cocktails. Plus, we've got a rooftop sundeck with tanning chairs and spectacular views!

    The neighbourhood offers some great opportunities for dining (and drinking), all within 5 minutes' walking distance or less. Cassidy's Irish Pub is housed in our very own building.

    Here's a sampling of restaurants on our block:
    TRIPTYCH: A fresh, modern take on some of the world's classic dishes, served in a space that is more art gallery than typical restaurant. Plus, they have a disco bathroom!
    BASIL: Simply put, the best Thai food in America.
    BRAINWASH: Wash your clothes, eat dinner, drink beer, and watch live music in one place. Their coffee is great for those mornings after...

    With a great, central location in a fun neighbourhood, convenient proximity to San Francisco's public transit (bus and light rail), and our knowledgable international staff, you'll find it easy to make the most of your time in the city.

    Standard rooms have only 4-5 beds and have their own complete bathrooms with shower and tub. We also have rooms for large groups, as well as female-only dorms.

    The hostel's reception is open 24 hours with a staff member available to answer any questions and make your stay a more enjoyable one.

    Proof of international travel needed. We only accept cash or traveller's cheques.

    Property Description


    For some travellers the journey is more important than the destination and who you meet is more important than what you see. Pacific Tradewinds Backpacker Hostel was created for this type of traveller. Our top rated San Francisco hostel is small welcoming, warm and personal. Guests tell us the feeling here is like visiting friends in a home rather than being impersonal and institutional as some larger city hostels can be.

    Because of our small size, guests and staff here really get to know each other. In the hostel, there's a lot of socializing, playing games, music swapping, etc. We also frequently go out with the guests to see sights, do pub crawls and other fun stuff.

    We provide a full range of services and features to make your stay really comfortable. Our kitchen is modern and fully equipped for making real meals. The bathrooms are bright, clean and private. Beds are made of solid steel (which means no shaking or squeaking) and have backpack sized lockers underneath.

    Finally, the location is great. We are located just 2 blocks from the Downtown Transamerica Pyramid, one block from the Cable Cars, a few blocks from Chinatown and North Beach, and buses to everywhere are just outside our door.

    This hostel is primarily popular with 'off-the-beaten-path' backpackers and these are the sort of travelers we love to have. We frequently fill up early in the day, so most guests find it useful to make a reservation for their first night. We give priority to our existing guests, so once your here you can always stay additional nights up to our maximum stay. If you are not sure when you'll be in San Francisco, give us a call when you arrive since we always try to save a few beds for spontaneous travellers. Finally, if you are having any trouble booking online, give us a call.

    Our other features include:

    Free High Speed Internet and Wireless Access
    Free Tea and Coffee
    Free Linen & Blankets on Beds
    Soda and Snack Machines
    Free Backpack Sized Lockers
    Free Use of Hostel on Day of Checkout
    Great Location
    Common Room MP3 Collection & Stereo
    24 Hour Access with Key (Check-In 8am-midnight)

    Hope we will see you here soon.

    Cheers,

    Dave Vesely
    General Manager
