Located 2 blocks from train and bus access, this hostel is situated in the Chinatown-International District of Seattle. It features dormitory guest rooms and is 15 minutes' walk from Pike Place Market and Seattle Aquarium.

Each dormitory room at the hostel is equipped with lockers. The hostel is open 24 hours a day and there is no curfew. Free Wi-Fi is available.

I loved the comfort of having a fully equipped kitchen to use. Sharing it made it feel homey.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Great location! Safeway is across the street! Downtown is close. And It is soo cozy, big ,comfortable apartment! Everything is clean and nice. It has everything you need - all kitchen stuff, coffee machine, washing machine, dryer. And parking! We enjoyed our stay, it was definitely better than any hotel! For me there wasn't enough lights, but we didn't need to work or do any reading, writing, so it wasn't a big problem. Also, the owner is very friendly, responded very quickly on all our messages.

    Friendly staff and many friendly guests. Private, clean bathrooms. Attractive dining area. Commercial kitchen (although I did not cook any meals while there). Breakfast included. Sanitizer for all the washed dishes. Well managed business. The souvenir lock. Respectful roomates. Free dinner on Sunday night (I was exhausted after arising at 4am and travelling all day and had no energy to go out and find some dinner). Location is amazing! Tours organised so I could meet inside the hostel. I felt safe in the hostel.

    Great location, beautifully presented hotel and rooms were a good size. Staff were friendly and it was very safe. Close to train station and transport links - and a short walk to Pike Place Markets one way, or buzzy East Pike/Capitol Hill bars and eateries in the other direction.

    My room felt more like a studio rather than a hotel room. I had my own private bathroom. There was a kitchen, lounge and bedroom all in one room. It was roomy, comfortable and in a great location. Wish it was slightly cheaper but if 2 people were staying it would have well been worth the money.
