Great hostel. I stayed here in 2006 as well & it was as good as I remembered. Staff were helpful & friendly when I arrived. Also, I emailed to cancel my 2nd night the day before I was due to arrive and they were fine about it - didn't charge a fee, which was good of them. The place has a really nice, relaxed atmosphere despite the city centre location. Will definitely think of Pacific Tradewinds next time I'm in San Francisco.
