Get to Know HI San Francisco Fisherman's Wharf

With breathtaking views of Alcatraz, the Golden Gate Bridge, and beautiful Fort Mason park, HI San Francisco Fisherman’s Wharf hostel offers a relaxing retreat within the city limits. Located in a gorgeous waterfront national park, we’re within walking distance of the Marina District, Fisherman’s Wharf, and more, and buses just outside the park connect you easily to the rest of the city.

A movie room with theater-style seating, a free pool table and jukebox, and a cozy lounge with fireplace make HI SF Fisherman’s Wharf the most laid-back hostel in SF. It’s the perfect home base for your visit to the City by the Bay.

But there’s no need to explore on your own: our super-friendly staff will help you uncover local hidden gems, and you’ll meet plenty of new friends when you join our free events, local tours, and activities just for guests.
