Like the Best Rare Gem of Hostels

There are a few different kinds of hostels. Some that make you feel like you're in a hotel. It's nice but it's not the hostel experience - or the hostel price. Some that make you feel like a squatter in someone elses house. They're smelly, ramshackle pits of despair that see you as a moving sack of meat with a backpack and a wallet to spend on their sh!#ty hostel. And the rare occasion - some that give you the comfort and feeling of home in a completely new environment. Pacific Tradewinds is this. Friendly + attentive staff, great atmosphere and all you could need. I stayed in 3 in SF and this is the best.
