A simple hostel in a good location. It's located just northwest of downtown, about a 15 minute walk to Pioneer Square. It's also just a few blocks away from the free bus square that covers all of the downtown area. Going the other direction, it's just a few minutes away from the trendy northwest area shops (centered around 23rd Avenue, AKA "trendy-third"). There are also plenty of good bars in that area, especially on 21st Avenue.

It's plainly decorated but reasonably clean. The rooms are small with a few bunks in each room. The bunk beds are sturdy wooden ones, and there are some single beds if you arrive early enough to get one. There is a full kitchen adjacent to a small sitting area with some tables and chairs. Downstairs there is a quiet little reading area that's rarely used, so it's a good secret place to go if you want some quiet time. Out front there are some chairs and it's a nice place to sit and watch the steady stream of cars heading out to the shops and bars.

It's not what you would call a fun hostel, there may be a few people around to chat with but it's a pretty quiet place. The guests range in age greatly, and there are often at a few middle-age and even elderly hostellers.

Tip: When you're walking from the hostel towards downtown on Glisan, look for a lady with a little food stand around 9th or 10th Avenue around lunch time. She sells a homemade creation called "the whole bowl," and something you shouldn't miss.
