The hostel had a community feeling. Everything was clean and comfortable. Only downside is several roommates leaving early and interrupting sleep. Friendly staff.
Location is the best, smacked right in Downtown and just 2 min walk away from the Pike Place Market. Staff were all very friendly and helpful. Truly one of the best hostels I’ve been!
all the staff are excellent!!!
Exceptionally helpful and friendly.
Shout out to: Sam (male and female), Nataly, Bellen, Melody and everyone else!
If you solo travel, this is the best place to stay.
You wasn't really too far from much of anything you could walk down to Pike Street. The pier wasn't too far either from there a bunch of different little shopping areas. A Target really close by. If you're a Target person and there's a little souvenir shop on the corner that has good deals
Appreciated the fair price, quality customer service, and overall cleanliness of my stay. The bed was very comfortable too.
I would definitely stay there again!
Great staff, vibe plus free breakfast. Amenities and cleanliness are above average as a hostel. Recommend to anyone looking for a economical accommodation.
The best hostel I have ever stayed in. It is very clean, the bathrooms are clean and private, there are fun activities each day and good common areas. The staff was always pleasant and it was a terrific value in a fabulous location.

My stay was very relaxing! I enjoyed the location, it’s truly in the heart ♥️ of Seattle!
Never stayed in a hostel before so this was a whole new experience. Every single staff member I encountered was more than accomodating and went above and beyond. Was different sharing a room with others however if you are just needing a simple nights sleep for a reasonable cost. This is your place.

Everything was perfect! I was shocked by how clean the whole place is, I could've slept in the restroom floors. Staff was super friendly, shared room was comfortable, mattress was immaculate and the area couldn't be better.
Would definitely come back!

Came to town to attend a concert, and this location was amazing. It was also nice to partake in the tours that are offered through the hostel. What a great way to travel… although, I haven’t stayed at a hostel in almost 10 years, it was a great way to meet other travellers .
This was a super place to stay! It definitely follows suit with other hostels with shared rooms and bunk beds, duh, but it's clean, the bathrooms and showers are plentiful and seem pretty new! The beds come with a light and fan which was really nice. Everyone was very helpful, breakfast was a nice addition and better than what you could get at a motel or something. Perfect location to everything and public transit too! Would definitely stay again! Thanks!!
