They accept bitcoin! I stayed here because I could pay in bitcoin, but it turns out the place is in a great location, the staff are super friendly, and the beds are great for a hostel. I arrived in the middle of a small celebration for a national holiday, and they offered me a beer as I walked in and... More

I stayed at Pacific Tradewinds Hostel for 4 nights in late January, 2013, and was happily impressed with the quality of the hostel. Only 16 beds, which keeps things quiet and personal, and there was always an employee or 2 or 3 hanging around if I needed any help. 2 free computers with internet, plus free wifi if you've brought...

It got it all: great location, very clean rooms, nice atmosphere and above all amazing staff!! The staff would do anything to help, I even got offered a slice of pizza upon check in :-) The commun room makes it very easy to meet new friends. I had a fantastic stay there and I hope I would be back :-D

If you're one of those travellers that usually stays in B&B's but likes to occasionally slum it in hostels due to the opportunities they offer to meet and participate in activities with other travellers then Pacific Tradewinds hostel is not for you. The rooms in the dormitories are door-less, the bunks are tiny and crammed together. Any noise on the... More

I've stayed at Pacific Tradewinds three times now (and once overnight while transitting), and have yet to have a bad experience there. The staff are amazingly friendly, and since the place is so small, you'll be on first-name basis pretty much from arrival. They're willing and able to help out with travel queries, and are generally incredibly welcome hosts. Location-wise,... More

I've rated this hostel on HostelWorld but felt the need to rate it on here for those not using the website because I found it so good. The hostel is small which means you get to speak to people easily. Although I didn't get involved as I had other plans, there were lots of things organised for group outings which... More

This hostel is in a great spot in the vicinity of China town and the financial district, so huge range of local restaurants and prices! Loved the personal care from Pacific Tradewinds, great staff, and a fun place to be, thanks guys....and breakfast included!

I loved this hostel in more ways then I could describe . The staff were extremely friendly, helping me carry my bags, and after a few days we were all great friends. The price is so great for everything you get. A small place but perfect for any person traveling, you really become friends with everyone here. I loved the... More

As soon as you arrive at pacific tradewinds you become part of the family. I know that sounds a bit lame but it's true. The staff, mostly travellers themselves, greet you by name during your stay and make sure you feel welcome. They encourage you to socialise upstairs in the common room but unlike most hostels, there isn't a heavy... More
