Liked: I like the property's vicinity to Seattle's downtown and business district. The staff are also very friendly and knowledgeable about local attractions to visit. I especially like the tours and outgoings they provide clients.

Disliked: The beds are not soft enough for my liking. I toss and turn during most nights and wake up between 3 to 5 times before 8am.

23 June 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Really great hostel. Perfect centered location, that I was able to use as a pit stop. The rooms were really nice, plenty of secure luggage storage. Free use of computers was really useful. Lots of organised activities all week, and a great place to meet people. And they provided meals 3 nights a week, which was a real bonus. But the thing that MADE my stay - chocolate brownie at breakfast!!!

Disliked: Some of the staff didn't seem to know that much about the city, and things going on, but I guess they could have been new. But all the staff were great; friendly and helpful :)

20 June 2011 Liza would recommend this property

Liked: I loved the curtains, fan and light on each bed. It was great for privacy and meant if I didn't want to go to bed when everyone else did I didn't have to and it didn't bother anyone else. They had bikes for use, free dinners 3 times a week along with free breakfast every day and free storage for bags (as my flight wasn't till 11pm and you have to checkout at 11am)

Disliked: Nothing

Disliked: I had to hunt for the entrance!

11 June 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: I enjoyed the free buffet breakfast, the fun environment at the hostel, the friendliness of the staff, the big kitchen free to use and the clean and functional washrooms.

Disliked: I didn't like that there's no elevator and the first staircase is really long and hard to climb with the luggage! It was painful to climb the stairs to the top bunk bed in bare feet - please put some rubber or something on the wooden stairs! The room was a bit crowded and too hot, even with the fans working (but acceptable). The curtains on the top bunk beds were shorter than the lower beds (why?), so I had less privacy than my room mates and I didn't appreciate that.
