Perfect Location right in Seattle’s Downtown Heart. Perfect Location right crossing the street from the Public Market. Amazing and friendly Staff, Every night there is organized an event by the Staff. Highly recommended for adventurers.
Didn't like: Too busy specially during the weekends but is part of the experience. Everything else was amazing.

It was a great experience in a vibrant part of Seattle. I liked the central commons area and breakfast options. It was also nice to have the bathroom to myself for extended periods
Didn't like: Difficulty changing & repacking in the bathrooms. A bench in each & shelf for bags & other bathroom essentials would help. Also didn't like the room light directly above my upper bunk being turned on after dark and noisy roommates banging things around at all hours. Less intrusive lighting and quiet hours would have improved the overall stay tremendously.

Super friendly and helpful staff. Cleanliness and location are great. Decoration is full of artistic taste. Kitchen meets my expectations. And free breakfast includes eggs, fruits, breads etc.

The hostel is located in the very heart of Seattle and is very well kept and impecably clean. Staff is very helpful. This is one of the best hostels i've ever been to. However, I understood for myself that my privacy is number one for me snd next time I will stay in a separate room, as your neighbours, if you are unlucky with them, can mar the whole stay at such a good place. But value for money is just great!
Didn't like: Neighbours in my room. Most of them were really nice though, but even one person can become a problem.
