    I just love being in Chinatown, eating well and being amidst a great neighborhood.

    It would have been nice to swap for a clean towel every day.

    I love Seattle Chinatown; location is great. I like the no alcohol policy- it keeps things quiet and reasonable in the hostel.

    Lounge room closes at 8pm, too early!

    Terrific location 1 block from Metro Link stop and many other transportation options very close by. Also close to tons of great Asian restaurants and a large Asian grocery. Safe location even at night. Well organized and run hostel. Strongest coffee I've had at any hostel!

    There are homeless or dangerous-looking people in a street not far away from the hotel. It would really help, if the hotel can inform me in advance about place and time I should avoid. (By the way, what wrong with these people! The city should solve the problem asap. They are so scary for a foreigner like me.)

    The transportation is good. The location within Chinatown makes it is easy find food.

    Rooms are bit basic and rooms/hostel in general are a bit outlifed. The area upfront is a bit scatchy.

    Clean kitchen and bathroom, nice common rooms, complementary breakfast and coffee all day. Friendly staff, central location (train station and stadium very close)

    Lack of air conditioning was a bit of a problem. Staff provided fans to help with the heat but it was a little tough to get adjusted.

    Staff was really friendly and super accommodating for my circumstances. Location was fantastic. Lots of great places to eat as well as proximity to the train. Facilities were well maintained and had nice amenities.

    It’s a hostel, and provides everything that a hostel should. We booked a private room (bunk beds; private bathroom), and were happy with our decision. Seattle is expensive, so the hostel is an economical option.

    There are a lot of homeless people in this area. My friend and I didn‘t feel safe outside the hostel, especially after our car was vandalized by someone. We parked next to the hostel on the public parking lot.

    Space needle, Pike place, Pioneer Square, etc. is pretty close and you can just walk to see everything.

    Wish the reception was on the first floor. A schlep if you have lots of bags!

    I even went with my two kids (9 and 11) who were terrified at the place since it is a hostel and not a hotel. But after a night and after understanding the DIY of what a hostel was about, they warmed up to it. Good and clean shared bathroom, shower and kitchen facilities. Staff was marvellous, lending me a stick of butter at breakfast (thanks again, miss!). Very nicely located in the heart of Chinatown and a very good community vibe! Highly recommended if you can hack the hostel vibe. Decent place for a decent price.

    It was an older building and the rooms could use a little more TLC...but...

    First time for my daughter and I to stay in a hostel. Management went out of their way to ensure we had a room with 2 bunk beds so neither of us had to use a top bunk. The location in the International District had good restaurants and we were impressed with the hostel's kitchen, laundry, and gathering rooms. The room was pretty basic, but we both enjoyed a good night of sleep. The shared bathrooms were basically very clean.

    I initially had a room mate who was eating in the dorm and slovenly leaving her clothes all over. At one point she had dropped a whole bag of potato chips on the floor and informed me and another guest, "I'll pick them up later" as she turned over in her bunk and went back to sleep. I informed staff and the guest was moved to another floor. My wish is that you keep records of such behavior and/or remind such guests about their behavior the next time they book.

    I love the fact that the kitchen was open 24 hours because I could inform other guest to please head there after "curfew" when they were disruptive in the hallways talking. I think that it would be a great idea to place signs on each dorm that say, Please Be Mindful of Others sleeping after curfew by closing your door gently.

    The beds was rather thin and the little fan for each bunk did not cover how hot it was.
