First time at a hostel. There were some nice surprises, like the free ice cream at check in (this differs with the day, so you might get something else 😉). Bed was comfortable, staff I encountered were all great, facilities were clean. Breakfast options were good. Use of community kitchen was a nice plus to make dinner or hot breakfast (eggs supplied). Close to lots of attractions in downtown Seattle area. Line 1 to Seatac was only a couple blocks away. Was close to the Clipper ferry from Victoria that I used to get to Seattle. I did a short taxi ride to the hostel as arrival was after dark. Daytime, this is an easy area to walk to a number of local attractions.
