The private room was a great value in a perfect location for our one night in Seattle. The hostel is right next to Pike Place Market and the beautiful waterfront. We enjoyed walking around the waterfront during a clear September afternoon, and it was awesome that the hostel was right there. It is also only a 5-minute walk to the University Street light rail station.
We did not get a great night's sleep due to a noisy group outside in the middle of the night, but some of that is par for the course in a hostel environment, especially on pub crawl night :) Otherwise, the communication and check-in were smooth and the facilities met our expectations.
