I?ll book a stay here...

Liked: Friendly staff, great location, amenities- kitchen, dining room, private restrooms., ease of checking in and out. My whole experience during my stay was very satisfactory. I would definitely recommend this place .
Disliked: Shower floors could use a little bit of cleaning- or at least remind tenants to make sure it?s clean for the next user. Overall, it?s bearable.

Very good

Liked: Everything! ;)
Disliked: Nothing

Awesome and highly recommended.

Liked: The location couldn't possibly be better if you love the Pike Place Market, ease of access to the waterfront (and all the other significant Seattle stuff), and Target (there's one right next door). The building and facilities are excellent, in great shape for such an old bldg, and appropriately decked out for young, budget travelers. The staff tends to be perfunctory but kind and helpful; flexible if you need to make a change. The breakfast they set out is basic & DIY, but includes a raft of eggs (unusual for a hostel!), a good assortment of bread for toasting, and some really tasty granola. If you bought yourself a few groceries at Target, there's a spot for you to (label and) store them, and a good kitchen that's free to use 24/7. Coffee, tea and cocoa are also available anytime. Haven't checked in yet but need a place to store your stuff until you do? They've got a space for that and and an enforced tagging system. Checked out but your red-eye flight doesn't leave til late? You are welcome to hang around and chill in the large, comfortable cafe/eating area till it's time to go.
Disliked: The mattresses are just really hard and uncomfortable :P But that's IT - the only significant drawback.

Girls trip

Liked: The location can?t be beat. So close to the market without crazy amount of foot traffic in front.
