The location was nice and walkable but when we got into the hotel there was a giant dirty cart inside the front door blocking the entrance all the days we stayed there. We were texted the key code and room number but someone was already booked into that room. There is no staff on site and we tried calling the number without an answer. Eventually we were texted the key code to a different room. There was no bed skirt - just sketchy split box springs and an odd smelling carpet. The mattress was super old and smelled super funky. The sheets were clean but there was no quilt or duvet. There were lots of clean fluffy towels and the shared bathrooms were clean. Someone repeatedly tried to follow my wife into the single occupancy bathroom in the night and then tried to jiggle the door handle to break in. This happened on more than one night. There’s cameras in the halls and we texted the number about what happened but there wasn’t any follow up. It’s a good location and it’s nice that there was a kitchen but honestly it didn’t feel very safe or well organized. I think it would be ok for a couple buddies who wanted to go out drinking but we won’t be staying here again.
This hostel is lovely. What stands out most is how impeccably clean the entire hostel is! The other guests are respectful and kind. It has been a wonderful stay. Oh and would love to mention that the building was built in 1909 so it is fun to stay in such a historic Seattle building! We had children with us during our stay and have only felt completely safe in the environment. Zero safety concerns whatsoever. The furniture and bedding were clean and very comfortable meeting all of our standards for a wonderful stay. The manager was always promptly available to take care of any need that we brought up. We also stayed @ the Green Tortoise hostel for a night. The Green Tortoise provides a very clean and typical hostel experience, but I will say that Hotel Hotel Hostel far exceeds the experience @ Green Tortoise. Hotel Hotel offers a safe location, very private rooms with comfortable furniture and bedding and a much more quiet smoke-free environment. Easy access to all important areas of Seattle for visitors! During our stay I had the pleasure of meeting many of the guests. The guests that I met were of a very wide variety: travelers here to a quick visit to Seattle, some here for work, some here for workshops such as massage training, and some just for a fun vacation. Everyone I met seemed very happy with the accommodations as did we!

Was really impressed by the cleanliness and professionalism of this place considering the low price. Obviously you get what you pay for and you are not going to have a luxurious hotel experience... so just manage your expectations if you have never stayed in a hostel before. If you just need a place to crash and are low maintenance, it's great. My private room even had a fridge and sink. I will say the neighborhood is really hoppin and the street noise was super loud late at night the weekends - not great for light sleepers. The manager was communicative with all of my questions during my booking and gave me clear instructions for contactless check in. The other guests were courteous and friendly. As a solo female traveler I give this place a thumbs up!
HIGHLY recommend this hostel to anyone looking to stay in a convenient/no frills spot in an excellent location. I've stayed a few times now. It is very clean and quiet. Rooms are air conditioned and very comfy beds...I usually have trouble sleeping when travelling, but not here! I sleep great. The rooms also have several ammenities like water boilers, sinks in-room, and a mini fridge. Everything you need on a longer trip. The shared kitchen is clean and well-maintained. Walking distance to trails, good food, coffee, groceries, transit, etc. Online check-in is easy. There is no front desk...they'll text you the info you need on your arrival day. If you book through a third party, their online check-in link might not work. That is easily resolved by a quick phone-call. Just be aware that this isn't a typical hotel...so be mindful when booking.
I'm here for the fourth time this month, and i think i found my favorite room, a little different layout but perfect, what a unique concept for the whole property, i wish i could've thought of this
