Location is the best, smacked right in Downtown and just 2 min walk away from the Pike Place Market. Staff were all very friendly and helpful. Truly one of the best hostels I’ve been!

This is my first time at a hostel, and it definitely has its pluses and minuses. The pluses is that the staff members are extremely helpful and nice. There is free breakfast. It is right by Pike Market Place and lots of accessible public transportation. However, I would try to avoid going around the area late at night since it felt very unsafe. I think that it was fairly clean (depending on which bathroom you use -- it is communal style bathroom so be prepared for that). It is very you get what you pay for.
