This is a hostel, so of course you have to be OK--or even better, enjoy--sharing space with strangers. You absolutely cannot beat the location. It is literally across the street from Pike Place Market. It's a 10 min walk to the convention center (which is where I was spending my time during my Seattle visit, so I became very familiar with the walk back and forth). They provided toast, English muffins, cereal, and fruit every morning. There were eggs in case you wanted to scramble some up for a heartier breakfast. Again, you're sharing space, so you might have to wait your turn for a stove and there might be a line for the bathroom, especially at 7-8AM. But you're not gonna find a more affordable place to stay in the area. And the staff/volunteers were friendly and helpful. And they do bonus things like walking tours and social events every night. Would absolutely stay again.
