Samesun San Francisco

Affordable Stay in the Heart of San Francisco's Music Scene

Modern and casual, Samesun San Francisco is a welcoming 3-star hostel located on Lombard Street—just a short walk from Ghirardelli Square, Coit Tower, and the waterfront. With clean, air-conditioned rooms, private bathrooms, and free WiFi, it’s a smart pick for travelers who want to stay close to the action without stretching their budget.

Why Concert-goers love it

This hostel's location puts you within easy reach of legendary San Francisco venues and nightlife hotspots. You can walk or grab a quick ride to Pier 39 or North Beach for shows and events. Post-concert, you'll appreciate the quiet side-street location—far enough from the late-night buzz for a good night’s sleep. With check-in available from 3:00 PM and checkout by 11:00 AM, there's enough flexibility for most show schedules.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends looking for a fun, easy base near the music scene
• Solo travelers chasing a bucket-list gig
• Couples wanting a weekend escape with budget balance
• Fans needing a peaceful place to recharge post-show
• Budget-conscious music lovers who still want a private bathroom and solid amenities

Food and Drink Options

Guests can enjoy a continental breakfast on-site—ideal for refueling after a late night. While there’s no full restaurant, you’re steps away from a wide range of walkable eateries and cafés in the Marina District and North Beach. From pizza to poke, there’s no shortage of quick bites before or after your concert.

Nightlife Options

While Samesun doesn’t have its own bar or live music space, you’re in luck—some of the city’s best bars and lounges are just blocks away. Head to Polk Street or the Wharf for craft cocktails, dive bars, or late-night karaoke. Perfect for keeping the vibe going after the encore.

What People Say

• “Great location—walkable to the Wharf and public transit”
• “Private bathrooms and air-conditioning were a huge plus”

Areas for Improvement

This is still a hostel, so don’t expect luxury finishes or room service. Some guests note that the rooms can feel compact, and street noise may be noticeable in certain areas. That said, the location and price more than make up for it for most travelers.

The Bottom Line

Samesun San Francisco is a clean, convenient, and affordable base for concert-goers who want to stay near the music without breaking the bank.
