I had a pretty good stay at the hostel. The spacious dorms and great amenities made it comfortable, and the location is conveniently close to attractions like Pike Place Market. However, be prepared for some confusion when finding the place, especially at night, as directions weren't very clear. The staff's willingness to help could also use a little improvement.

My stay at this hostel was a mix of great location and budget-friendly pricing, with a few downsides. The location was fantastic, just blocks away from public transport and various attractions, making it easy to explore. However, the sound insulation in the hostel was lacking, which made for some noisy nights. Overall, it’s a good choice if you're looking for affordability and convenience in Seattle.

The hostel had an enormous kitchen with plenty of cooking utensils, but the lounge area had limited hours which was disappointing.

I had a mixed experience at the hostel. The location was fantastic, close to transportation and great Asian food, but navigating the area from the train station was quite confusing. The rooms were comfortable and clean, but the noise from other guests made it challenging to get a good night's sleep. Overall, while the price was reasonable, the staff's attitude needs improvement.
