Hotel Theodore, Seattle

The location and the room were excellent

We arrive early (10am) and the room wasn’t ready, we return at 4:00 pm and they told us they don’t have rooms already, we explain that we already checked-in early and let them enough time to clean a room, and she doble check and magically they have our room ready, I don’t get the actitud!

Location, bed and cleanness

Nothing

Hotel was walking distance to everything, good location. Elevator was lovely.

Bathroom light switch was not in the bathroom. Not a good view from our room.

Our room was so cozy and quiet and beautifully updated (as is the hotel). The elevators are fast. Cafe Darte coffee always delish. Friendliest, most helpful and warm staff throughout our stay. Valet service quick! Perfectly central to our event in Pioneer Square, our kids in Fremont and walkable to Lake Union and back for the 4th. We had the best stay thank you well done!

Not possible we realize but spaces were tight. It was fine for what we needed but you might want a little more breathing room

Staff was exceptional, room super comfortable and large. Shower modern and great water pressure. Lots of nice touches. The attached restaurant, Riders, also nice happy hour specials. Across the street from a sweet lil market for essentials and wine. Starbucks also. Thinking it’s our new Seattle go to place.

Nothing really.

Location!!! Staff id friendly.

There needs to be easier ways to get ice. It took a while to get requested ice. ( over an hour) Better parking accommodations and price on parking.

The bed was extremely comfortable, the location was ideal for exploring and the facilities in the hotel were also good. We also enjoyed the free wine hour - a nice touch and a good way to save some $$$ in a very expensive city!

The cleanliness of our room was mostly OK but there were multiple hairs on the ceiling of our bathroom and in the shower, which was a shame. It also would've been good to have a kettle in the room since we don't drink coffee.

Clean & perfect location

Very tight space in the rooms.

I arrived early in the morning after a long 17+ hour flight and the staff were happy to accommodate my early check-in request. The room and toilet were also very clean, the bed and pillows were comfortable and I like that they had adequate electrical plugs/USB outlets around the room and an ironing board. Location-wise, this hotel can't be beat if you're attending an event at the Seattle Convention Center, with less than a 5 min walk door to door. The famous Pike Place Market, Target and many eateries are also within a 10-20 mins walk from the hotel.

The room was a little small and all I had was a tiny round table that was barely big enough to put a laptop on. Since I was traveling for work, I would've been great for the room to have a proper desk or at least a larger table. Also, be warned that they don't do daily room service like most other hotels, though this was not that big of a deal for me. I do wish that they had paid more attention to the amount of shower gel left in the dispensers during the last room service as the one in my room ran low on my last night there. Finally, do check your bill carefully AND online credit card statement upon check out. The hotel accidentally double-charged me for one of the nights and I didn't realize this until days later. They were finally able to resolve the issue by issuing me a refund after 2 weeks but I could have done without the stress as they take a long time to reply to messages over Booking.com and the refund took almost 2 weeks to reflect on my credit card statement.

From my arrival and valet parking attendant, to super friendly front desk that were able to get me into my room early (despite not asking for it-I had asked to store my luggage), to nice room more along the European model of very efficient use of small space, which I prefer, to a glass of good Happy Hour wine at attached bar, to perfect location- all was excellent.

My only ask is that some padding be applied to corner of the bed frame! I couldn’t really see it and both I and my husband bruised our shins getting around it to get to the windows!

Location is excellent - near shops, restaurants and Westlake train/tram station.

Small bathroom. No complimentary water in room, but there’s water at reception.

Lovely decor in the hotel and a good bar alongside that was easy to reach for residents

Despite knowing what we signed up for, the room was quite cramped

The hotel was great and the location outstanding.

Bathroom was quite small, especially the sink area. Not much room for toiletries for two people

We had great front desk customer service and our room was beautiful with a water view.

I opened a bottle of water thinking it was complimentary and then realized it was not. Most hotels I've been to give at least a couple of small bottles of free water. My boyfriend's brunch was dissapointing with his eggs benny being over and under cooked, not having much sauce or meat and they forgot my OJ.

Nicely renovated, very cute decor and very comfortable bed.

Woke up to next door alarm clock. Room was small but bathroom was sooo tiny.. had to have bathroom door closed to be able to fix hair and see in the mirror. Nice shoes just needs a bigger mirror.

Friendly staff in reception desk.

Reception staff could of been more friendly(not all staff)

Front desk friendly, comfortable bed, quiet. Short walk to Pike's place & lightrail.

Although a stylish throwback, lobby not useful

Comfortable king bed. Good size room. Great location for train and sites. Nice lobby.

Bathroom too small: no place to lay out sundries. No dresser drawers. No housekeeping during our stay; check-in didn’t inform of this and nobody asked if we needed towels or supplies.

Decor nice, valet helpful, coffee shop nice peeps

Rider never opened in the morning even though we had reservation. They were not prepared.

Decor

Bathroom vanity - no space to place things

Location and friendly and helpful staff. Comfy bed.

The walls were very thin between the rooms so I could hear if someone was talking in the next room even if it was a normal voice level.

Excellent location and very nice room

Staff was unable to get me a taxi with urgency to get to the airport early in the morning.

I couldn't get house keeping ... Since I woke up late. Even after I asked for the sheets and I would have made the bed myself still nothing. I had to put down a towel and sleep on that...

The staff were very helpful in assisting guests with their needs. The location of the hotel is central to restaurants and transport system

The staff was amazing! Beds are very comfortable and clean. The espresso machine was much appreciated. The only downside is that the bathroom is tiny. There is no room to put anything anywhere. The room is very big.

Tiny Tiny bathroom

Stylish hotel and nice lobby area and bar with a happy hour

The rooms are very small

Room coffee

Though we had to pay to park our car, the lot was next to the hotel and was easy to access. We were able to use the monorail to get to the Pacific Center easily and walk easily to Pike's Market.

The room and bathroom were small, but comfortable.

Bed and cleanliness

Cost of parking

room was great and staff was pleasant

the lobby had a smoky cigarette smell

within walking distance to everything

The hotel boasted clean and well-maintained facilities, which made for a comfortable stay. Its location was excellent, providing easy access to nearby attractions and amenities. The rooms were spacious, thoughtfully designed, and offered plenty of room to relax. Additionally, the high-quality water and coffee supplies in the room were a nice touch, enhancing the overall experience. While there were some service issues, the positive aspects of the hotel's infrastructure stood out.

The restaurant was overpriced, and although the car park was right beside the hotel, they insisted on a valet service—just to drive the car 50 feet, which felt unnecessary. There were two elevators, but one was always out of service, oddly rotating which one was broken each day. Both receptionists were cold and seemed unhappy with their work, which left a poor first impression. In my room, I noticed an odd picture: a man cleaning the floor while a woman stood over him with an air of authority. While it may have aimed to challenge stereotypes, it seemed to create a different kind of imbalance. A strange decor choice that left me wondering about the intended message.

The beds! Yes, the beds are unbelievably comfy. Oh, and the delightful espresso maker makes the best coffee. The hotel is very nostalgic and I recommend wandering around to see all they have to offer. Another key point, this hotel is about a 10-7 minute walk to the Link rail and about 15 minutes from the Monorail which makes it coinvent for seeing an event at any of Seattle's venues.

I appreciate but don't appreciate the fact that this hotel does have parking. I just feel that $60.00+tax is a little too much to pay for parking and it turns out are vehicle wasn't in the enclosed garage.

Great location, great restaurant.

Bathrooms are way too small. Serving 5’pm wine at the social in plastic cups is a no no, and having to ask to get your room made up is so yesterday

I liked the location

The room was pretty small and cold

Friendly staff. Clean room and bed.

Small room, but good for sleeping and bathing.

It was clean, quiet, in a good location.

No chair in room to sit - had to sit on bed. Would prefer more drawer storage for clothes.

Excellent location in the heart of Seattle, in walking distance to many key sights and transport links. Very modern and clean, with spacious comfortable rooms - big beds too! The 24 hour gym and facility are also ideal. Staff were pleasant and helpful too

Fairly expensive in general but relative to its location in the heart of Seattle

Loved the location. Close to the Paramount Theater where our concert was. Lots of restaurants and shopping near by. Hotel was clean and up to date.

I’m from Alaska so I enjoy a cool room. Had a hard time regulating the temperature. The bathroom was very nice but wish there was more counter space. And at least one towel rack or holder next to the sink. I also was disappointed that there was only one chair in the room. If you are traveling by yourself it would have been fine, but having your significant other with you, another chair would have gone a long way in the comfort department. Parking was also very expensive in this area. Expect to pay $35 - $55 a day.

Really enjoyed our stay! The room and hotel was very luxurious and we would definitely go back. Staff were lovely and gave us a room upgrade and complimentary glass of wine for no reason

Nothinf

The bed was super comfortable and big, we loved that after a big day of travelling. Room was very quiet and clean.

The room was quite small, it was perfect for our 1 night stay but anymore we would have struggled.

Location

No free water bottles in room, you have to call front desk to get dental hygiene kit. They were quick to bring it so not a big deal.

The room was lovely and spacious. The bathroom shower was the best I’d ever been in. I could have spent the day in that shower.

This is a very attractive boutique hotel with lovely furnishings and art work making it a pleasant place to stay. Our bedroom was spacious with a little seating area. The location was great for everywhere we wanted to go and also close to public transport but also within easy walking distance to many tourist locations such as Pikes Market. The staff were very efficient and welcoming. Riders restaurant in the hotel had good food although at times got very busy. There is also a coffee shop for carry out coffees and pastries next to the foyer. Would recommend this hotel and definitely use it again. Excellent value for money.

There is no breakfast available at the hotel but several breakfast locations close by.

Atmosphere and convenience. Nice size.

Minor stuff: A bit small. Coffee pods weren’t labeled. Mirror was awkwardly placed. No desk surface.

Great location, only 15 minutes walk to the waterfront and the public market. The monorail station also could be reached within 10 minutes by feet. Old little hotel but quite nice designed and beautiful decorated. Bar and restaurant inside the hotel. The room is clean and nice decorated. Comfortable beds. Coffee machine inside the room.

The hotel looked much older and smaller than the pictures showed on booking.com Quite small and old room, not much space for 2 persons. There is no microwave, no refrigerator, no kettle inside the room. Quite disappointed! We tried to call the housekeeping and finally she sent us a small kettle. Thank you!

very convenient location

staff were a bit inconsistent - some of them were lovely!

Very convenient location in downtown Seattle. Nice room, very comfortable bed. Good in room coffee. Great bar on ground floor with excellent staff.

The hotel will only do room service if you ask for it. We weren’t told about this when checking in and after a day out we got back to the room and it wasn’t done. Pretty disappointed. We asked a TV number of guests if they knew about this and they too were surprised. When I contacted reception they said a text message had been sent after checking in including this information. This is not enough. Most people on vacation don’t constantly check their messages and the reason put forward on the text was based on Covid issues. Covid’s well and truly over and a hotel of this calibre which charges accordingly needs to re-introduce daily service immediately or continue to risk negative reactions from guests. It’s an old building but the bathroom was really tiny with nowhere to put anything. Not sure if the coffee shop is owned by the hotel but to have one poor staff member trying to deal with large numbers of guests queuing up on a Saturday and Sunday morning is simply not good enough. Not fair on that person or the guests. Management needs to re-assess its staffing arrangements.

Location was great, staff was friendly. Room was generously sized, but the bathroom was oddly tiny. The price was ok, but there was an NFL game in town so the price was pretty high in comparison to other nights in the same week.

When we got to our floor there was a room service tray outside of our room, but it took almost an entire day for someone to get the tray for some reason. TV didn't work at first, but they did call the engineer back from going home to fix it. So all in all, nothing that was a deal breaker, but stepping it up a little would make this an ultimate stay.
