It was an absolutely fantastic experience staying at the pacific tradewinds hostel. Even though I was travelling alone, I never really felt so once I got here, since there was always someone around to strike a conversation with, or simply just sit and chill. Its pretty much always brimming with energy. The staff is extremely friendly and always willing to go one step ahead to help. Its a really clean and well maintained place, take the dorms, the common areas or the bathrooms. I would definitely head here on my next trip to SF and would recommend others to do the same :)
