Dakota Hotel and Hostel
Dakota Hotel and Hostel is now managed by the same people who run the popular and well-reviewed Adelaide Hostel and Hotel, which is right down the street, so you can now be assured of the same high level of quality that guests at Adelaide have been enjoying for years. Both hostels are in the central part of San Francisco, near Union Square in the theatre district, close to some of the city’s best shopping and bars.
Like most hostels, Dakota Hotel and Hostel offers both private rooms and dorm style rooms. The private rooms range in size from singles up to quad rooms, and each private room comes with its own private en suite bathroom. Dorm style rooms sleep four people, so they are cozy and comfortable rather than overcrowded, and there are single-sex dorms as well as mixed dorms available. Even the dorm rooms have private bathrooms, too. For those who are staying in San Francisco a week or more, Dakota Hotel and Hostel also offers weekly rates on the private single and double rooms.
Some of the amenities you will find at Dakota Hotel and Hostel are:
- Free linens and towels
- Free breakfast
- Free internet access and WiFi
- Airport transport available

In addition to the usual free linens, Dakota Hotel and Hostel also provides free towels, soap and shampoo to all guests in the private bathrooms - just like a hotel. Other free amenities include the free breakfast and free internet access, including the ability to download photographs from your digital cameras and burn photo CDs. Another perk is that every room comes equipped with satellite TV and all guests are entitled to free luggage storage.
The Dakota Hotel and Hostel bills itself as the only hostel in San Francisco with a cowboy theme. Whether that appeals to you or not, the great location, low prices and nice list of amenities should be just what you are looking for.
