The surroundings make this site even more interesting We really look forward to staying here for the convenience and price. We also appreciate the opportunity to meet new people who come from far away places.

Very Nice I did want more privacy, so I opted for a private room. I stayed for two nights, taking a day trip to Seattle. It was $28 per night.The ferry is free going Eastbound. The director and his manager were both friendly and knowledgeable. My room was large -- the bed was better than most motels. The water pressure in the showers was incredible. The kitchen is huge and they offer a free, make your own pancake breakfast, and Starbucks coffee. You would have to be an idiot to stay anywhere else!

Nice clean hostel. Dorm rooms are open-bunk style, I do prefer more privacy. Bed have squeaky springs. Bathrooms clean. Friendly manager. Very safe and scenic location. Not a party place -- nice and quiet. I had stayed in '96, and ten years later, still a great place to stay when visiting the Olympic area.

Very very clean. The staff recomended excellent dining. It was quite and low key. I do not think parties are why you come.

I stayed one night here in August 2004, my first at a hostel. The manager was very courteous, and the accommodations were clean. I stayed in the men's dorm. I am returning this August 2005, with my wife, and we will try to get a private room. The camaraderie of the other travelers is what attracts me back to this hostel experience. This hostel at Fort Worden is a beautiful military camp setting, right on the sea. A very picturesque location. It has a great gathering room to have a meal (bring your own and share) and talk with other travelers.

I have stayed here twice, once with girlfriends and once with my husband. Great experiences both times. Met interesting people at breakfast too!

It was fun going to this hostel. It was right next to the bunkers. Our girl scout troop stayed here for a night and really enjoyed the experience. The man in charge was very pleasent.
