We stayed here for our anniversary, and it truly couldn’t have been more perfect. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel special—especially with a thoughtful surprise that brought tears to my eyes. The room was immaculate, spotless, and so comfortable, especially the bed—perfect for a relaxing getaway. Every detail felt curated with care, from the elegant decor to the quiet ambiance.

Kimpton Hotel Monaco Seattle
The room was fantastic—clean, modern, and stylish with great attention to detail. I loved how walkable everything was; I could easily grab a delicious lobster roll just a few blocks away and explore the neighborhood on foot. Public transit access is also super convenient. The only downside was parking—since there’s no on-site garage, you have to rely on valet service. Being located right on a busy street with traffic lights, it can be tricky to find space during peak times, and sometimes cars get turned away due to congestion. Still, the overall experience was excellent, and the location more than makes up for it.
Kimpton Hotel Vintage Seattle
Staying at Kimpton Hotel Vintage Seattle was an absolute delight. While the property has a classic, slightly vintage feel, the recent renovation really brought it to life—charming decor with a modern touch, and every detail feels thoughtfully curated. The location is fantastic: just a short walk from downtown attractions, transit hubs, and great dining options. What truly stood out was the exceptional service—staff were warm, attentive, and genuinely went the extra mile to make the stay special. It’s clear they take pride in creating a welcoming atmosphere. For my trip on November 18–19, 2025, this hotel exceeded expectations. If you're looking for a unique, well-executed urban retreat with heart and character, this is a must-book. Highly recommend!
The Oxford Seattle-Downtown
Absolutely fantastic stay! The overall experience was outstanding—everything about this hotel exceeded my expectations. There was just a minor hiccup with the booking confirmation code from Ctrip, where the "EXP-" prefix was missing, and I spent nearly half an hour navigating through their app and phone support to sort it out. That said, once resolved, every other aspect of the stay was flawless. What really stood out was the kitchen—fully equipped with high-quality appliances and tools, perfect for guests who want to cook their own meals. It’s especially great for families or travelers who prefer self-catering. The location is unbeatable: within walking distance to Pike Place Market, the Space Needle, and the cruise terminal. You can explore all the highlights without needing to take a taxi or public transit. Easy access, great convenience, and excellent value. Would definitely book here again on my next trip to Seattle.
Bacon Mansion Bed and Breakfast
Staying at Bacon Mansion Bed and Breakfast felt like being welcomed into a warm, personal home rather than a typical hotel. Nestled in a quiet, upscale neighborhood of Seattle, the property exudes charm and comfort without feeling overly formal. It’s important to note this is a B&B—large and well-appointed, yes, but still intimate and private. That means no strict rules about what you can bring, no front desk bureaucracy, and no pool or bar. But honestly, that’s part of its appeal. The breakfast is a highlight: fresh, homemade, and different every day. David takes care to make sure your preferences are respected—you won’t be forced to eat something you dislike, but you’ll get exactly what’s on offer. That honesty and thoughtfulness made all the difference. There’s no menu, no rigid schedule—just a relaxed, genuine experience. I truly felt like a guest in a friend’s house. If you value authenticity, hospitality, and a peaceful retreat with character, this place is a must-book.
Ace Hotel Seattle
Absolutely perfect stay from start to finish! The staff went above and beyond—friendly, professional, and always ready to help. My room was stylish, clean, and incredibly comfortable with a great bed that made for a restful night’s sleep. The location is fantastic, just steps away from downtown Seattle’s best spots. Breakfast was delicious and varied—fresh pastries, local coffee, and healthy options. I loved the unique vibe of the hotel; it feels like a cool hangout spot rather than just a place to sleep. Every detail was thoughtfully done. Would book again in a heartbeat and highly recommend to anyone visiting Seattle.
Staypineapple, Hotel Five, Downtown Seattle
Staying at Staypineapple Hotel Five in downtown Seattle was a fantastic experience. Despite its compact size, the hotel’s location is unbeatable—walking distance to the Space Needle and other top attractions makes exploring the city effortless. From the moment I stepped in, the atmosphere felt welcoming and comfortable. The pineapple-themed design elements and modern interior decor added a fun, vibrant touch that made the space feel joyful and unique. I also appreciated the nearby large parking lot, which offered significantly lower rates than the hotel’s own garage—great for travelers driving their own cars. Overall, it’s a well-designed, convenient, and stylish stay with excellent value, and I’d definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Seattle.
Courtyard Seattle Downtown/Pioneer Square
Staying at the Courtyard Seattle Downtown/Pioneer Square was an absolute pleasure! We arrived earlier than check-in time, but the front desk team happily accommodated us with early check-in—no hassle at all. The checkout process was just as smooth and efficient. Our room was spotless, well-maintained, and comfortably furnished. The location couldn’t be better—right in the heart of downtown, steps away from Pioneer Square, shopping, dining, and major attractions. Walking to the waterfront or public transit was a breeze. This hotel offers excellent value for the quality and convenience. I’d definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to any traveler visiting Seattle.
Staypineapple, Watertown Hotel, University District Seattle
I stayed at Staypineapple-Watertown Hotel in the University District, Seattle, and was thoroughly impressed. The room was clean, modern, and thoughtfully designed—minimalist but functional with a cozy, inviting atmosphere. The bed was incredibly comfortable, making for a restful night's sleep. While basic toiletries like toothbrushes and toothpaste weren’t provided (which I actually appreciate for hygiene and sustainability), the room came equipped with a mini-fridge, microwave, and coffee maker—perfect for grabbing a quick snack or brewing a morning brew. What really stood out was the location: just a short walk to the University of Washington campus, and within easy reach of local restaurants, cafes, and shopping spots. Public transit is convenient too—getting around the city is a breeze. It’s a great choice for students, solo travelers, or anyone looking for a no-frills yet stylish stay in a vibrant neighborhood. Highly recommend!
College Inn Hotel
I chose to stay near the University of Washington because I’d heard the downtown area isn’t the safest, and honestly, this was one of my best decisions. The College Inn Hotel feels just like a college dorm from an American TV show—clean, cozy, and full of charm. The European-style decor adds a nice touch, and it’s super convenient for exploring campus and nearby spots. The only thing to note is that our luggage was quite bulky, and without an elevator, carrying it up the stairs was a bit of a challenge—definitely need some stamina! But overall, the experience was fantastic. Great value, excellent location, and a really welcoming vibe. I’d definitely book here again.
Staypineapple, the Maxwell Hotel, Seattle Center Seattle
Staying at this hotel was an absolute delight. The location is unbeatable—just a short walk to the Space Needle, Seattle Center, and other major attractions. You can easily explore the city on foot without needing to rely on transportation. While the hotel isn’t brand new, it’s been well-maintained with a clean, inviting atmosphere and a unique, stylish vibe that gives it character. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout our stay—always smiling, ready to assist, and making us feel welcome. It’s clear they take pride in their guest experience. Comfortable rooms, thoughtful touches, and a central spot in one of Seattle’s most vibrant areas make this a top choice. I’d definitely return and recommend it to anyone visiting Seattle who wants convenience, charm, and great service.
Four Points by Sheraton Downtown Seattle Center
Staying at the Four Points by Sheraton Downtown Seattle Center was an absolute delight. The location is unbeatable—just a 10- to 15-minute walk to the Space Needle, with a safe and quiet neighborhood that made evening strolls enjoyable. A large supermarket is within steps, offering everything you’d need, and within a 1-kilometer radius, I even spotted the Gates Foundation and the Discovery Center—both well-known institutions that added extra charm to the area. What truly stood out was the front desk staff: every single one, regardless of background, was friendly, professional, and genuinely helpful. When I expressed concern about potential noise from an air conditioning unit outside my window, they immediately offered to switch me to a quieter room without hesitation. That kind of service goes above and beyond. This hotel delivers comfort, convenience, and exceptional hospitality—highly recommend for any traveler visiting Seattle.
