Hotel Hotel Hostel

Hotel Hotel Hostel is a budget hostel at 3515 Fremont Avenue North in the Fremont neighborhood of Seattle, Washington, which describes itself as the center of the universe and is known for its quirky public art. The Fremont Troll sculpture beneath the Aurora Bridge, the Fremont Rocket and the statue of Lenin are within walking distance, as are the Fremont Bridge, the Lake Washington Ship Canal and the Burke-Gilman Trail, popular with cyclists and runners. Fremont hosts a Sunday market and has independent restaurants, breweries and coffee roasters along Fremont Avenue and N 35th Street. Downtown Seattle is reachable by bus in roughly twenty to thirty minutes, and light rail is not directly in the neighborhood, so guests typically use buses or ride share. The hostel offers a casual, artsy vibe typical of the neighborhood in the United States Pacific Northwest, and attracts backpackers, students and budget travelers who prefer a local neighborhood to the downtown core. Accommodation includes dorm beds and private rooms, and published rates run from about $35 to $130 per night. Listed amenities include a shared kitchen, a common room and free Wi-Fi. The shared kitchen lets guests cook their own meals, and nearby cafes and pubs offer inexpensive eating out. Service is informal and communal, with staff who can suggest neighborhood sights, cycling routes and transit connections. Bathrooms and some facilities are shared, and noise in common areas is possible, so light sleepers might choose a private room. The neighborhood is hilly in places and walking to downtown is long, so visitors should plan for transit. Current rates, room types and house policies should be confirmed directly with the hostel before booking. Guests planning a first trip to Seattle will find hostel staff and fellow travelers a useful source of tips on free walking routes, public-transit passes and low-cost meals, which can keep a multi-day budget low.
