HI - San Francisco - Fisherman's Wharf

The HI - San Francisco - Fisherman's Wharf is one of three HI hostels in the great city of San Francisco.
This is bar far one of my favourite hostels, on my first night there a light sept across the wall at regular intervals, not enough to disturb me or anyone else in the room, the next day sitting outside with a coffee over looking the bay, I realised the light was the Alcatraz lighthouse.
It is within walking distance of Fisherman's Wharf (as you would expect from the name and in the other direction you can be at Fort Point, under the Golden Gate bridge in around an hour.
A short walk in land gets you to a handy bus stop.
