Hotel Nexus Seattle

Despite the name, this surprisingly well outfitted property is actually a hostel, but guests who opt for one of the hostel’s well-priced private rooms might never know it. Located in the vibrant, artsy neighborhood of Fremont, Hotel Hotel is within walking distance of tons of excellent bars, breweries, restaurants and cafés, as well as a short bus ride from all 92 acres of Seattle’s Woodland Park Zoo to the north. Private rooms offer clean, comfortable bedding and a private bathroom, and complimentary breakfast is served daily in the lobby. For those on a strict budget, dorm beds are available for as little as $30 per night.
