Pricing was excellent for being close to the waterfront and market. Beds had privacy curtains & fans and the staff organized events each evening. Met some really great people as well who were staying there. I would recommend for staying downtown.

This was a super place to stay! It definitely follows suit with other hostels with shared rooms and bunk beds, duh, but it's clean, the bathrooms and showers are plentiful and seem pretty new! The beds come with a light and fan which was really nice. Everyone was very helpful, breakfast was a nice addition and better than what you could get at a motel or something. Perfect location to everything and public transit too! Would definitely stay again! Thanks!!

Everything was perfect! I was shocked by how clean the whole place is, I could've slept in the restroom floors. Staff was super friendly, shared room was comfortable, mattress was immaculate and the area couldn't be better.
Would definitely come back!

Loved the place! It was my first solo trip and, as a woman, i wasn't too sure of staying in a hostel. But let me tell you all, i 've never felt safer. It's close to pretty much everything. I walked everywhere, didn't spend a dime on uber's or taxi's. There's a market right across the street and the hostel offers free breakfast. Overall it was a great experience

Really liked the breakfast area and the proximity to everything. I could get to the market, aquarium, museum, and space needle within 20 min of walking and the train and bus stops were close by for everything else. Everyone was very helpful with directions as well.
