beds were surprisingly comfy for a hostel :) location was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! the light rail is literally a 30 second walk out the door! great places to eat around the hostel!

Caitlan, Canada

good location, free tours!, breakfast, cleanliness, facilities, commodity, it was an excellent place to stay, right across King station and in the center of chinatown.

Susana, Mexico

It was a great location and excellent place, very clean, really worth the price, right in front of the link light rail station you can either walk or take public transportation to the center of Seattle.

Susana, Mexico

I loved the whole stay I mean for Pete's sakes I only paid 50 dollars for one night and had a great experience. The room only had 2 bunk beds and I shared with some awesome females that were quiet. It was very clean and nice. It was an older building but loved the location being close to the amtrack station. Definitely recommend and will stay again for sure. People friendly and nice. Breakfast was good for what it was!

Ashley, USA

The staffs were friendly. Location was not bad ( close to the station).

Kaori, USA

Hostel was super clean, the dorms were very spacious and lockers were super big, you could fit a whole backpack in there. Staff was very friendly, breakfast was nice. The hostel organised fun actvities every day and I met awesome people staying there!

Charlotteck, USA

Bed comfy. Linen and room and property clean. Very friendly helpful staff. 2 min from train.

Jan, Australia

Fruit provided was yummy and the facility to make our own toast with spreads was great.

Kaj, Australia

Comfortable and roomy bedroom. Good having a basin in the room. Bathroom close by. No loud noise at night, slept well. Close to Link rail to the airport. Chinatown doesn't really exist any more.

Homeward, New Zealand

Decent facilities, helpful staff. Large lockers in the room. Lockers also available to use after you've checked out for only $3 which is really handy.

눉The breakfast was simple but as expected in a youth hostel.
눇The location is great close to the Line, streetcar, buses and the Amtrak station. It's very easy to get anywhere in Seattle quickly from here. We had a private room with sink and shared bathroom. The room, sheets and towels were clean, the bed comfortable, and everything looked like on the pictures of the property. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The facilities are great! A nice lounge room in the 1st floor to chill out and a big space where breakfast is served with a kitchen that can be used by everyone. There are coin laundry machines and dryers available and a smaller room with a TV. The shared bathroom were very clean. I saw them cleaned several times a day. I also never had a problem that they were occupied. Access to the upper floors with the rooms is secured with the key card of the room and also the main entrance can only be opened with the key card in the evenings or nights. We could store our luggage since we arrived a couple of hours before check in and also after check out before our flight. Luggage is stored in the staff area and is not easily accessible by others. All bags got tagged and the staff was checking the tags when picking up the luggage.
