About us
If you are looking for a hostel experience that is entirely different than the intuitional hostel, the “flashbackers” or the “just a cheap place to stay” hostel; we invite you to spend some time with us. For over 22 years, Pacific Tradewinds has been a safe haven for travels in the big exciting city of San Francisco. As fellow international travelers, Pacific Tradewinds is more than a hostel to us, it’s our home. It’s a home where we are passionate about welcoming travelers who love seren

Accommodation
We are the smallest hostel in the city and we like it that way. Once you make the decision to join our community, you will be treated as an honored guest and a long lost friend visiting for a sleepover. Because we are small, we can maintain clean facilities that are top notch. Our beds are the sturdiest bunks in the world- custom made for backpackers with powder coated steel. These beds will not squeak or shake and there is backpack storage lockers underneath.

Services and activities
Some guests are initially taken aback when they walk through the door and are immediately introduced to other guests or asked to join us for a meal. Sometimes registration and other formalities can wait a bit. First and foremost, we would sincerely like to get to know you and let you get to know us. We’d like to know where your from, where you’ve been and what you love about life. We appreciate it when guests leave some time for this when they arrive. This is where all the fun starts.

Surroundings
Pacific Tradewinds is in a great location, nestled comfortably between
the Financial District and Chinatown, a stone's throw from the iconic
Transamerican Tower, and stumbling-home distance from North Beach's
vibrant bars. We are on a major bus line and roughly 5 blocks from the
Muni/Bart station.

Why should you stay with us
If you are a traveler who is friendly and social, we invite you to stay at Pacific Tradewinds.
