Hotel Hotel Hostel

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!
