My stay at the hostel was a mixed bag. While the location is unbeatable—just steps from Pike Place Market—and the breakfast is a nice perk, I was really put off by the unpleasant smell in my room. Check-in was a bit slow as well, but overall, it was decent for the price if you can overlook a few issues.

The smell in my room was quite overwhelming, and it made my stay uncomfortable. However, after moving to a different room, it was much better, but it was still somewhat cramped for six people.

The service at check-in was a bit slow because they only had a couple of staff on duty, which meant a wait time to be shown to my room.

The hostel is located just steps away from Pike Place Market, which is fantastic for sightseeing. I found the check-in process a bit slow due to limited staff and had some issues with smells in the first room I was assigned. However, the new room I moved to was cleaner and larger. The breakfast was decent, but the overall cleanliness in the shared bathrooms could use some improvement. Despite these downsides, it’s a good option if you're looking for a budget-friendly place.

I had a delightful stay at this hostel, which is excellently situated near major attractions like Pike Place and the Space Needle. My room was clean, and the provided breakfast was a nice touch, but the shared bathroom experience wasn't perfect. Overall, it’s a great value for money especially given the level of cleanliness and comfort.

I had a wonderful stay at this hostel in downtown Seattle! The location is incredibly convenient, with the Space Needle and Pike Place just a short walk away. The staff went above and beyond to help me out when I arrived late, which I truly appreciated. The rooms were clean but on the smaller side, and while the bathrooms were good, the overall vibe is definitely hostel-like rather than luxurious. It's a great value for the price, especially with the breakfast and fun activities they offer, but just be aware of the surrounding area, which can be a bit messy with urban issues.

I stayed at this hostel for a few days, and it was definitely worth it for the price. The location is amazing, with top attractions just a short walk away. The friendly staff made my late check-in smooth, but the room I had came with some unpleasant odors that were hard to ignore. Overall, it's a great budget option if you're looking to explore the city but be prepared for the hostel vibe.

This hostel is in an unbeatable location across from Pike Place Market, making it great for budget travelers. While the staff is friendly and helpful, the rooms have a strong odor that was quite off-putting. Despite being basic, the amenities like breakfast and communal areas are a plus. Just be aware that showers could be cleaner, and check-in can be a bit slow.
