Reviews (9.4 Wonderful)
it was a nice experience, well located, free dinner 3 days per week, delicious breakfast, dorms are small but cozzy, i´ll be back for sure!
A great place to stay! Good location, friendly staff and a great complimentary breakfast. Individual bathrooms and curtains on each bunk were great!
Great Hostel with very nice and helpfull staff. Perfect location!!!
I stayed for one night. Check in was efficient and the staff were very helpful, showing me the amenities and showing me to my room/bed. I did think the $20 room key deposit (cash) was a bit steep. The included breakfast was nothing special, but maybe I was late and missed the good stuff. The rooms and bathrooms were very clean. The location is as good as it gets in Seattle, opposite the Pike Place Market, with plenty of food and drink options nearby. It is close to transport, easy walk to downtown and shopping, and about a fifteen minute walk to the Greyhound. Everyone pretty much kept to themselves in the common area, but this is becoming more common at many hostels as everyone seems to be busy on their laptops rather than meeting their fellow travellers. The common area could have benefited from a small lounge area rather than just tables and chairs. The hostel puts on some good daily activities, which is probably your best bet for engaging with other travellers. Overall, it is one of the better hostels I have stayed in in North America, and would definitely recommend it to anyone going to Seattle.
Definitely one of the best hostels I stayed at. Lots of activities organised by the staff if you don't know what to do or don't know anyone, 3 free dinner nights a week... The only thing is no private bathrooms in the rooms.
