Staff were so unfriendly and abrupt, there is no need for that!

This is a good hostel and well run, but it's not good value for money. The minimum rate quoted is for a 6-bed dorm, of which there is only one, and the remaining 4-bed dorms cost $35 per head, compared with $30 per head for a similar dorm at San Francisco City Center hostel. The difference is that the Seattle hostel is run privately for profit and has a local HI monopoly. There are non-HI hostels in the city which may provide a better-value alternative and are worth checking out.

I think a bigger sign needs to be placed outside the hostel, as I (and loads of others) walked straight past the entrance when we first arrived!!

Hostel response:
Sian, Thanks for pointing that out. Our current 2'x3' sign is only feet from our door. It says, "Hostel" with a black arrown pointing at the door. We are working on a bigger sign. Thanks again and travel safe.

1.The location of the hostel is not shown at the right point on the google map. 2. Since it is located on the busy street, it is a little noisy at night.

Hostel response:
Zhu, I just reviewed the google map on our HI Website. Not sure which one your viewing. This map is accurate almost to the inch. It clearly locates us on S King Street between 5th and 6th avenue half way up the block on the north hand side. Most large cities do generate a general noise. Seattle is no exception. I hope we see you again.

Boring hostel most older people staying there. No bar and you can't drink there, no pub brawl and weird people haning around outside the hostel.

Hostel response:
Dan, Sorry you were disapointed. HI has a no alcohol policy we feel keeps things calmer with fewer problems. We do host pub crawls once per week and walking tours twice weekly. Travel safe.
