Latest Review for Globetrotters Inn
This is a Trusted Review. Why?
Its in a very dodgy part of the city, dont turn left when exiting the hostel unless you want to get killed, other than that the staff were helpful and the place is clean, there is only 2 showers one of which is through a kitchen, and the toilets dont have sinks in them. You get what you pay for basically.
There is not much of an atmosphere in the hostel as a whole as everyone seems to keep to themselves, although the lads we were sharing the room with were great crack.

We are the most Centrally located hostel in San Francisco. From the airport, you can take the subway to Powell St. Station which is a little more than one block from our door. No need to get a cab.
We are the closest hostel to Powell St. Station, which is the Central hub of transportation for San Francisco. From here you can catch the Cable Cars, both Subways, Buses, and Street Cars.
We are next to three of the largest, finest hotels in the city including the 42-story Hilton which is the largest hotel in San Francisco. Save your money by staying with us.
We have done a full renovation in the rooms this year and work very hard to keep everything clean.
We have a friendly, sociable staff that will make you feel like you are at home and make sure you have FUN.
We have $4 all you can eat meals!!! Free Pub Crawls (BYOB). Free Movie Nights with Free Popcorn, Free Hikes, Free Fights (not really, just seeing if you are still paying attention). If you decide to stay with us we will be glad to tell you about our favorite city in California.
We are a short walk to Union Square which is the core of the shopping district. We are also close to China Town, North Beach and Fisherman's Wharf, the most exciting tourist destination in the city.

Directions
From SF airport:
Shuttles are available from the airport to the hostel. A cheaper alternative is to take the BART train (Bay Area Rapid Transit) from the airport. It takes 35 minutes and costs $5.35. BART trains leave the airport about every 15 minutes. For schedules, check www.bart.gov . Get off at the Powell St. station, which is downtown. It is the station after the Civic Center station and before the Montgomery St. station. You will come up the stairs to the street level from underground. Look for Cyril Magnin St., to the left of the Bank of America. Go uphill (north) on Cyril Magnin St. one block, and you will reach Ellis Street. Turn left (west) on Ellis St. Go along Ellis St. one block, and then cross Mason St. After crossing Mason St., you will immediately reach a Thai restaurant on the corner called Old Siam, which has a green, illuminated storefront. Just after Old Siam, there is a door with a white sign that says, 'HOSTEL.' The address is 225 Ellis St. and the door says 225. Press the buzzer by the door and we will unlock it. Please let us know in advance if you will be arriving after 11:00 P.M. (23:00).
