Top South Seattle Hotel Reviews

The Arctic Club Seattle

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful inside and out. Staff super friendly and knowledgeable"

The Boylston Hotel Capitol Hill

10/10 Excellent

"Outstanding value and location. Minimalism done right. Friendly staff by text, phone, and in person. Bed was super comfy. Not much of a view but that wasn't what I was seeking. I slept well but I saw they had a noise machine and ear plugs for those who don't. My only suggestion would be to add a bar stool so that I could eat food in the room other than on the bed or standing. I'd re-book in a heartbeat. Happy to patronize a locally owned new small hotel rather than the pricey corporate conference hotel I wasn't about to stay at. Southern cap hill has changed over the years and wow the restos and bakeries and nightlife is amazing."

Coast Gateway Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Very convenient if needing a hotel by the airport with free shuttle service running every 15 mins or so. Staff was friendly and held our luggage after checkout so we could catch the light rail to the city for a few hours before our flight. It wasn’t really close to the Light Rail (maybe 1/2 mile up the street) but if you’re not by yourself and it’s not nighttime, then the walk/area is totally fine. The tiebreaker for us is their location next to a great restaurant that stays open later than the other airport hotels. We would definitely stay here again!"
