Comfortable stay!
Great stay and staff!
John, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Early check outs but otherwise great experience
I loved Chapter. It’s in a great location, it’s easily accessible by public transit, and very clean. I dare say this is one of the cleanest hotels I’ve ever stayed at (and for my job, I’m in a couple every week for the last decade) even tho it’s a hostel. I would stay there again and recommend to solo traveling friends

One of the best hostels ive ever been to. Managed so perfectly and everything is so well done. The curtain covered beds almost make you feel like youre not surrounded by so many other people.

Great stay! Very friendly staff. There could be some extra amenities like a larger blankets and some small details to improve, but the place is great. Cafeteria in the same building and a market across the street. Recommended

I literally LOVE Chapter San Francisco! This is my go to spot when I am in the city! I have stayed in many 4 and 5 star accommodations on my lifetime! Though this is a hostel, the amenities, the convenience, the community, and staff are top notch! Don’t miss the opportunity to experience this wonderful space. Thank you!

Overall great place to stay and very clean. I like the design and the vibes in the environment is great. Not a social type of hostel
Michael, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I would absolutely recommend this spot to any of my friends or family. The rooms and bathrooms were clean and relatively quiet, considering the nature of hostels. Friendly and helpful staff, easy check in and checkout (you practically just leave!), and it has some lovely views from the fourth floor lounge. Thanks for having us!
