Great Hostel, very well run! The free tours and free dinner on Sunday were an unexpected bonus. The free breakfast was awesome. If you’re coming from the airport, just take The Link to west lake station, the hostel is only a short walk from there and it will save a ton of money compared to Uber or Lyft. If you’re headed to Seattle Center (where the space needle, climate pledge arena, and lots of other things are) you can just take the monorail. I loved how centrally located this was, and literally right next to Pike Place market.
I read some of the other reviews, and the negative ones it seems are from people who don’t understand what a hostel is. Yes there will be people coming and going, you are on a bunk bed in shared dorm type rooms. This is why hostels are so cheap. If this wouldn’t be ok for you, then you should pay more money to stay somewhere more private. If you do encounter someone who seems loud or inconsiderate, maybe just politely mention to them to please put their phone on silent, or not slam the door, etc. Some people are just clueless and need to be told that what they are doing disturbs others, I find people generally receive it well and are apologetic if it’s said politely. That being said, make sure to be a courteous hostel guest yourself!
