Location is good. Breakfast is poor but this is not important to me. I used to by my own things.

Can’t rate this place high enough .. clean private room, clean shared bathroom .. didn’t see the kitchen but assume it’s the same .. 5 min drive or 25 min bus to downtown Seattle .. and we paid something like $90. Literally cannot beat that down the west coast!! Tonnes of restaurants, bars and cafes around if you didn’t want or need to leave Fremont Will certainly be back

All hostels in Seattle

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

The staff who checked us in were very friendly and helpful, as well as giving us a tour of the hostel. Flexible with us arriving late at night Free breakfast is appreciated (though very very basic) Area is perfect for visiting the touristy things in Seattle Overall good value for money if you’re looking for a cheap place in Seattle. Parking was an issue, you need to park in “West Place Parking” on google maps, get a ticket and the hostel will give you 5usd discount, but closes at 7pm..

The staff was super lovely and helpful. Unfortunately, the fan over my bed wasn't working, I went to the front desk and they immediately gave me a new one. The curtain really helps with the privacy and there is big storage under the bed. The location is really good too, it's easy to get from the airport to the hostel, it's close to a lot of locations and near bus stops. There are unhoused people close to the hostel and the streets near, but I never felt unsafe throughout my stay or when walking through the streets

The location is near bloody perfect. Light rail to the cbd or airport is one minute away, bus transport to districts further afield is five minutes walk away. The cbd is about a twenty minute walk away. All guests here are obviously on a limited budget, it's not like a backpackers just for young world travellers wanting to party. There are family groups with young children, older couples doing it cheap, the usual groups of vibrant girls or guys looking to save their money for a good time.

Great location - close to public transit, multiple restaurants, and a grocery store. The area around the hostel felt a little sketchy at times but nothing we were too worried about, and the hostel itself felt very safe. The staff were friendly and the rooms and bathrooms were clean. The kitchen and living areas were large and seemed nice, although we didn't spend much time there. The price was also much better than anything else we could find in Seattle, although still expensive compared to what we are used to.

The location cannot be beat. It’s centran and close to everything really. You could explore most of the tourist sightseeings just walking or taking a quick bus ride. Other that the location, it’s just an average hostel with average bunk beds and facilities. Overpriced in my opinion for NYE but I guess the rest of the year is much cheaper. I would advise to only stay here if you’re not planning on spending a lot of time in the hostel facilities
