This hostel is in a great location in Chinatown in terms of transit, and proximity to sporting events. Beware! This hostel is located in Chinatown, and with this location comes a large number of vagrants, beggars, and drug users. This hostel is not ideal for anyone that has their own car for parking is hard to come by and costs... More

Nice staff, nice rooms, clean showers. Neighborhood doesn't make the safest impression. It gets super bright in the morning which makes sleeping longer than to 5am impossible without eyeshades. Wifi keeps getting disconntected.

Stayed here for 1 night - and found to be just perfect. Been a few years since stayed at a hostel so was slightly curious to see what it would be like. Rooms were plenty spacious, bright and totally immaculate. Housekeeping (in bathrooms too) was excellent. Beds comfortable and had small fan by each bed which I thought a nice... More

Overall, this was a 3 out of 5. Let's start of with the things I did like... the price. It was around $40 a night for a stay, that being I was not a member. I was charged $2.50 online when I booked and another $38 when I got to the desk. If I had come to Seattle with other... More

To get to the middle of Seattle one need to walk uphill. If you arrive when it is already dark outside, keep in mind the house number, as there is no illuminated sign... More

The Hostal is laying athe gate of chinatown. It is a 15 min walk to downtown and 10 min to the old part of seattle annd 20 min to Pike Place Market. That's for me "central", because I don't liike to be in the middle (no parking place, very noisy a.s.o.) this is not at this place. Most importand: It... More

Our room was big for a hostel and painted yellow, but it was quite noisy because of an old window and noise from street.The continental breakfast were basic, but generous with peanut butter, cereals, Philadelphia, etc.

I travel the world staying at hostels, and the H.I. International Hostel, also known as American Hotel, is a great place to stay when in Seattle. It is friendly, big, comfortable, and exceptionally clean. The dorm rooms are fairly large, with lockers for everyone, as well as bedside lights, and.....a first for me, a tiny fan for each bed, which... More
