Hostelling International Seattle at the American Hotel is located in the Chinatown area of Seattle's International District. We’re a great value only steps from light rail, bus tunnels, Amtrak and Washington State ferries. Getting here, and getting around, is as easy as leaving your plane, getting on light rail, and stepping off thirty minutes later to walk half a block to the hostel. Later, you can ride free buses all over downtown from the same station.

Seattle is a world class city offering a metropolitan experience in a beautiful, natural setting. Start your day at historic Pike Market with a coffee from the original Starbucks, wander down cobblestone alleys, enjoy shopping at large and small stores, dine on fresh caught seafood, stroll the waterfront and watch the sunset over the snowcapped Olympic mountain range. All this within rambling distance of the hostel! Come back to re-charge, then head out to the vibrant night life of the Emerald City.
