    DIRECTIONS


    Hi!

    Door-to-Door Shuttle from USA Hostels Hollywood: $45.00
    Cheaper and faster than Greyhound!!!

    From Greyhound - if you can't take a shuttle -
    Exit from Greyhound's Transbay Terminal in downtown San Francisco, and start going Southwest on Mission Street towards First Street. Turn right onto First Street and cross to the other side of Market Street. Turn left on Market Street and continue going Southwest on Market Street until you make a slight right onto Sutter Street. (Its easy to miss Sutter Street because there's only one street sign for it - there's a See's Candy store on the corner). Continue on Sutter Street for a few blocks and the hostel will be on the left just past Taylor Street, at 717 Sutter Street.

    From Amtrak:
    From Amtrak's Shopping Center Station (SFS), cross to the other side of Market Street and walk up Powell St, following the Cable Cars. Turn left onto Sutter and the hostel will be on the left just past Taylor Street, at 717 Sutter Street.

    From Airports:
    From the San Francisco Int'l Airport, go to the BART Station found on Level 3 of the International Terminal and take a train in the direction of Dublin or Pittsburg. Exit at Powell St. Station.

    When you exit the train at the Powell St. Station, take the escalator marked 'Hallidie Plaza', and once you pass through the turnstiles turn right in the direction of Hallidie Plaza (do not enter shopping mall), exit station and to your right will be another escalator to Powell St. Turn left at the top of the escalator and walk up Powell St, following the Cable Cars. Turn left onto Sutter and the hostel will be on the left just past Taylor Street, at 717 Sutter Street.

    Cheers,
    Laurie
