Why Stay in Cheap Hotels in San Francisco when You can Stay in Quality HI Youth
Hostels?

The first among youth hostels in San Francisco, HI-San Francisco Fisherman's Wharf is also the
most famous hostel in the City by the Bay. This California hostel is the ideal choice for travellers
who want to stay in a park setting but still have easy access to the city's urban delights.

Unbeatable Location for this California Hostel

HI-San Francisco Fisherman's Wharf was built in historic Fort Mason at the edge of the Golden
Gate National Recreation Area, one of California's most beautiful and diverse National Parks.
Far from cheap hotels in San Francisco on so many levels, this waterfront facility overlooks the
San Francisco Bay and boasts stunning views of Alcatraz and the Golden Gate Bridge. Scenic
paved foot/bike paths branch out along the water, east to Fisherman's Wharf and west to the
Marina Green, making for beautiful, bayside morning walks or rides. Fort Mason, itself, is worthy
of exploration, with a multitude of theaters, galleries, performance spaces and outdoor activities.
