This hostel is quite interesting, its a few floors big but the rooms are very small and all open so if you like your privacy this is probably not the place for you. It does however give you a great opportunity to meet new people. This hostel attracts quite a quirky crowd and sometimes i didnt feel safe leaving my... more

I've spent much time at this hostel and I can assure anybody who's looking for a cheap place to stay in San Francisco that this hostel is probably the best choice. The price is more than reasonable, free internet, room to storage your baggage (that is pretty unusual to find in hostels) no curfew and more importantly, it's super clean.... more

To be fair this hostel is in an excellent location in San Francisco. It is small which is nice. The facilities (kitchen and bathrooms) are kept very clean. The main dorm room, however, is very small. Divided in to cubicles, the walls do not go up to the ceiling so you may as well be in a room with 30... more

The Pacific Tradewinds is a good hostel located in an excellent central location in San Francisco. I love visiting this city, but one thing it does not have is a great range of hostels. The Tradewinds is a good choice, and I would rank it along The Green Tortoise as your best bets (although the two offer very different experiences!!).... more

Of all the hostels I've stayed in, Pacific Tradewinds is definitely one of the best. It's so very friendly - the staff really go out of their way to make you feel welcome. It's small, but that just means it's cosy - and in the evenings travellers (and staff) mix in the lounge area and actually talk, which doesn't happen... more

It was hard to find fault with the Pacific Tradewinds Hostel. The beds, common room and other facilities are all totally clean (they must go through a heap of bleach in the bathroom), comfortable and secure (but bring a lock for the locker... I left my laptop in the common room during the day without a problem, but it never... more

I am an exchange student in US. For my spring break I decided to go to San Francisco by myself. The trip was wonderful! Now when I remember that week in that gorgeous city, I always remember great people(stuff) that I met there, their sunny and warm smiles. They were really very very helpful, and they have very beautiful kitchen... more

Stayed here at the start of my trip around America and after experiencing other hostels I would have to say Pacific Tradewinds was the best hostel we stayed in. The location is decent but that’s not really an issue given the local transport is close and buses or the tube system pretty much takes you everywhere in San Francisco. The... more

I have worked at a hostel, stayed at loads of hostels, and have found this to be the best in North America. The people who work at Pacific Tradewinds are all very friendly and will help you out at a drop of a hat. You can always find someone willing to engage in conversation, and there are always people with... more

What a gem this little place is! I felt immediately at home the first moment I walked in, almost like hanging out at a friends house. The place is clean to a fault, warm, and cozy. The same is true of the folks that work there. The hostel staff took the time to get to know me in order to... more
