Liked: I liked that the bunk bed has a ladder and every bed has ist own light and a ventilator. Everything is very clean. The Hostel is located near several bus stops and the train station, you even can reach the downtown by foot.
Disliked: It would be nice if there would have been a hair dryer in the bathroom.

Liked: There is a fan, bed light and electic sockets for each bed
Disliked: Hostel staff rude when we arrived and sent us to really dodgy area late at night to get food. Didnt seem to know area very well. Be aware $5 per person per night is added to your bill so not as cheap as it looks!!

Liked: *awesome breakfast (i did not expected something like this and i'm still impressend! Fresh fruits, different breads / bagels with cream cheese, butter, jam, honey, oats, teas, coffee... i mean... that's so much better than the ordinary peanutbutter-toast-hostel-breakfasts!) *clean rooms and washrooms (even at 10pm) *friendly staff (! the receptionist even brought me my 20$change to my room, because we forgot it when checking in...!!!) all in all - a great place to stay!
Disliked: hmm.... all good...

Liked: Clean, cheap and cheerful. Wash basin in private room and security lockers, plus fan and bedside light.
Disliked: Girl who checked us in was quite abrupt and not very friendly, however we also asked for help from another staff member who was very helpful. Location isn't in the safest of areas and we didn't feel comfortable walking around early evening/night.

Liked: Vending machine has instant noodles for 75 cents, very convenient kitchen, well stocked on amount of plates and other kitchenware. Room was clean and didn't smell bad even though mine was next to the bathroom. Located very close to the light tram and ride free zone. Taking the underground bus to the heart of downtown Seattle only takes about 10 minutes including waiting time for the bus. Foam bed and warm blanket was a plus. Personal sink in the room was a lifesaver.
Disliked: Chinatown isn't a very safe place past 7 pm, a couple of instances where I felt like I was being followed by groups of black people. Internet costs 2 dollars to use for 20 minutes and 5 dollars for an hour after your first free 15 minutes. { Although the price for internet use isn't bad when compared to some other places I been to }.

Liked: I was only here for one night but was really impressed with the helpfulness of the staff and cleanliness and comfort of the hostel. Little touches like all the herbs and sauces available in the kitchen, and towel provided free of a charge, made a big difference. Good location for Pioneer Square and Smith Tower.
Disliked: Preferred staying at other end of Downtown nearer Pike Market, but really there's nothing I can fault it on.
