    When I asked for advice about parking a rental car overnight, I was told it would be best to park it somewhere further away from downtown. There was plenty of free on-street parking and a pay lot was right across the street.

    Best price you can get in Seattle. Near museums, sporting venues, Amtrak, National Park Service historic sites, and lots more. Buses and trolleys to just about anywhere in town were close by too. Laundry facility east to use and in good repair.

    Bed was not the most comfortable. Place could use a fresh coat of paint/change of color. Not the hotels fault, but a seattle problem of homeless people milling around the general area.

    They had snacks in the morning. Ood proximity to many places. Can't beat the price.

    The only thing that I would reproach is that the room and the restrooms were two warm. And I was not able to fix it...

    Super well connected by bus to every neighborhood you want to visit, a 5-minute walk to the King street Train Station, and the atmosphere in this hostel is so nice !!! The common spaces are super clean. A few efforts are made for saving our planet. I felt like home in this hostel !!!

    The room was very hot, with no way to turn down the heat. The water in the shower was cold (but bearable). Pipes that ran through the inside of the room made weird sounds all day/night that even woke me up at one point.

    My bed was extremely clean without a speck of dust on it, room was cozy and had big lockers. Staff was helpful and the kitchen is big and well stocked. Location is really close to the station to get downtown and everywhere else. Also towels and bodywash/shampoo were provided which is a plus.

    the room looks traditional and old without curtain for bed. it feels a little bit uncomfort. there is no USB plug directly. but, the staff was very kind and helpful for borrowing a USB adopter to me.

    its location is very convenient, near the gate of china town. the public area is very large and comfort, full of facility for cooking by self. it is clean everywhere certainly.

    Sadly the property needs a good bit of work, heater s don’t work quit well, windows don’t close completely and are very thin.

    The property was a nice and old.

    Great location for passing through Seattle -- a couple of blocks from the Amtrak King St station and minutes away from the Chinatown/International District station (Link rail, Sounder transit). Surrounded by Chinatown and its many delightful restaurants. As a hostel, it offers accommodations at a fraction of the price of a hotel.
