Pros: The location is absolutely amazing unbeatable for the price. Right next to the market and downtown. Hostel amenities are pretty standard. Front desk staff for the most part are helpful and friendly.

Cons: they do not have free/reduced price breakfast but I'm okay with that for the price. At night, the door is locked and you have to be careful of randos trying to sneak in behind you. ...

Pros: The thing I liked most was the price. Staff was close second. They were very helpful. Breakfast was better than most hostels I stayed. I loved the large locker in the room. I had encountered ...

Cons: They could provide a pillow that is thicker than its cover and care about the cleanliness of the sheets a little more. Nothing fancy. I wish they were more solid on the basics.

Pros: This is one of the best hostels I've ever stayed at. Privacy curtains, plenty of outlets, and a fan for every bed. And the location can't be beat!

Cons: It got really hot in the rooms, even with a fan.

Pros: The bathrooms were clean. The kitchen / living area are spacious.

Pros: The location is amazing. Right in the center of everything. The hostel is well-organized and the WiFi is good.

Cons: The staff is a little aloof. There is a lot of noise because of the location. Traffic, people, the market... I don't like mixed gender dorms. I wish they were more flexible and more safety...

Pros: Really affordable place to stay considering most hotels cost on average $140 per night. I paid $36 per night. If you need to save money, definitely stay in this Hostel.

Cons: Beds were a bit small for me. There are bigger beds but have to pay a premium for those rooms.

Pros: Staff were really friendly and helpful. The beds were comfortable, storage was excellent. There was a great range of breakfast foods available and the period of time it was available was suitable for all. Awesome location, so easy to wander out and about, perfect place to base yourself in the middle of Seattle.

Pros: Location Comfortable, clean beds Lockers Social events & group outings Each bed with own fan, light, and curtains Sink in the room so you don't always have to use the bathroom

Cons: Staff checking in my new roommates at 12:00 midnight and 1:00am, turning on the bright lights and waking a couple of us up. Could be rough if you had bad roommates, which I didn't - they were cool
