I liked that the bunk bed has a ladder and every bed has ist own light and a ventilator. Everything is very clean. The Hostel is located near several bus stops and the train station, you even can reach the downtown by foot.

*awesome breakfast (i did not expected something like this and i'm still impressend! Fresh fruits, different breads / bagels with cream cheese, butter, jam, honey, oats, teas, coffee... i mean... that's so much better than the ordinary peanutbutter-toast-hostel-breakfasts!)
*clean rooms and washrooms (even at 10pm)
*friendly staff (! the receptionist even brought me my 20$change to my room, because we forgot it when checking in...!!!)
all in all - a great place to stay!

Vending machine has instant noodles for 75 cents, very convenient kitchen, well stocked on amount of plates and other kitchenware. Room was clean and didn't smell bad even though mine was next to the bathroom. Located very close to the light tram and ride free zone. Taking the underground bus to the heart of downtown Seattle only takes about 10 minutes including waiting time for the bus. Foam bed and warm blanket was a plus. Personal sink in the room was a lifesaver.

I was only here for one night but was really impressed with the helpfulness of the staff and cleanliness and comfort of the hostel. Little touches like all the herbs and sauces available in the kitchen, and towel provided free of a charge, made a big difference. Good location for Pioneer Square and Smith Tower.

Hostelz.com Guest Reviews

Blood on bed, broken window This hostel has potential but the bed above me had a huge blood stain on it so that when you looked up it was right above you. Someone there prior propped open the window about 3 feet to obviously dry the spot. The staff did not care much, and swore that they are extremely good house keeping. Then, I walked in one night after I paid and they without telling me changed the room into a coed dorm, and didn't know they did it! Avoid. — Anonymous , USA (2011-12-28)



New, clean, and very well run. This hostel opened in July '09 and is brand new. Not only that, they also keep it impeccably clean, all the time. Many conveniences -- Laundry, Wi-fi, Computers. The only downside, and I'm being picky, is that it is a bit sterile. The staff are efficient, but not necessarily warm. The communal areas aren't that conducive to hang out in -- lots of fluorescent lighting. More couches would be good. Still, a great place. — James , UK (2009-08-29)
