Hotel Hotel Hostel

The manager was always quick to respond when we needed something, and the other guests we met were friendly and seemed happy with their accommodations. People were there for quick visits, work, workshops like massage training, and vacations. Our children were with us, and we felt completely safe throughout. The furniture and bedding were clean and comfortable and met our standards for a good stay. The hostel was impeccably clean, and its 1909 building makes for a fun bit of Seattle history. We loved our stay. We spent a night at the Green Tortoise too. It was clean and offered a typical hostel experience, but Hotel Hotel Hostel was far better for us. It had a safe location, private rooms with comfortable furnishings and bedding, and a quieter, smoke-free atmosphere. Important parts of Seattle were easy to reach from there.

The manager answered all my booking questions and made contactless check-in easy, and the other guests were friendly and considerate. As a solo woman traveling, I felt good about staying here. My private room even had a fridge and sink, and the place was impressively clean and professional for the low price. Just know it’s a hostel, not a luxury hotel, and the lively neighborhood gets really loud on weekend nights. If you’re low maintenance and just need somewhere to crash, it’s great.

I keep coming back because it’s quiet, clean, and easy to sleep in, even though I usually have trouble sleeping when I travel. The beds are comfortable, the rooms have air conditioning, and there’s a sink, water boiler, and mini fridge. The shared kitchen is tidy and well cared for, too. There are trails, food, coffee, groceries, and transit within walking distance. Check-in is online, with the details texted on arrival day. If you book through a third party, the link may not work, but a quick phone call sorts it out. Just remember this isn’t a typical hotel. It’s a convenient, no-frills place, and I’ve stayed several times.

Back for my fourth stay this month, and I think I’ve found my favorite room. The layout’s a little different, and the whole property has such a unique concept. Wish I’d thought of it.
