Ask HN: Visiting SF- Any hacker friendly (but not exclusive) hostels?

I've been planning a trip to SF with two friends.

I plan to:

- 1 check out the tech scene. - 2 party. - 3 do some touristy stuff

My friends aren't into tech so they won't be doing so much of number 1. I was excited by the idea of the hacker hostels but I've learnt they practically interview before you get in.

What would be a good alternative?

Also any other suggestions would be welcome! I've got remote work lined up so suggestions for co-working spaces would be helpful too.
