The Arctic Club Hotel, Seattle

Beautiful old world hotel with plenty of character

Nice hotel, good atmosphere, clean room, nice room, professional staff

Not the hotel’s fault but its located in area where there are many unhoused addicted people using in open air.

We love to stay at the arctic because it's old and historical! love the staff and the bar had great drinks!

We had a smaller room this time and the bed was not as comfortable as they are in the bigger rooms.

Close to town.thanks

Very old style

We loved the bar and the architecture/decor of this historic hotel.

Valet parking was too expensive, street parking was sketchy.

The road noise and sirens

Very clean. Towels. Carpet. Bed.

A little bit too strong smell in room. Maybe special Parfum. Or from cleaning.

Building is quite historical, and rooms/bathrooms are reflective of that. Bar / lobby area look popular. Probably better for couples than families. Breakfast included as standard and was good quality.

The only "family" room option was a corner room with double bed and sofa bed. We were only there overnight so not a big deal, but not really suited for a family to be in one room, very cramped when sofa bed is out, and the double bed wasn't that comfortable. Location is OK to walk to harbour, 10 mins or so, but the next block along has a lot of rough sleepers.

Close to transportation, helpful staff, overall decor

Homeless people and street noises

Breakfast was basic. Comfy pillows. Train station and habour close by, an easy walk.

Needs a bit of a upgrade. All the druggie homeless people on the road near the hotel we had to walk past.

Beautiful hotel great renovation! So clean, comfortable beds and pillows!

The bed was very comfortable especially the pillows. Great shower and clean bathroom. Loved the Polar Lounge and yummy full breakfast in the morning.

Cooler air-conditioning and ability to control especially at night.

I liked the room which was big and quiet with a comfy bed and good coffee maker. The shared lounge areas etc also had old worldly charm. Helpful staff.

The bathroom lighting was unusual and controlled some of the bedroom lighting. I couldn't find a fridge which I needed for milk that I'd bought.

The continental breakfast and lobby area.

Room was a bit cramped.

The hotel was very central to all attractions and T-Mobile field and easily accessible by light rail from the airport

There is a large homeless population in Pioneer Square with encampments kitty-corner to the hotel. The area smells of urine but the homeless people did not bother us

Character historic hotel. Great lobby and bar. Very friendly ,efficient staff.

Junior suite room, rather small for the price. We were three adults.Pull out sofa bedding needs improvement.

Happy hour was not good 2 beers cost $28.00 with a tip which we shouldn’t have paid as the bartender was very unfriendly. He definitely had his “Favorite” regulars!

Breakfast was so simple. Free Wi-Fi was so slow.

It had old world dark charm.

Historic building with early 20thC explorer vibe. Beautiful lobby and bar with dark wood and fireplace makes you want to settle in and read the latest news about polar explorations and gold discoveries. Wonderful breakfasts.

Neighborhood is not exactly vibrant. There are a significant number of people living on the streets in downtown Seattle, including near the hotel. But this is all over downtown Seattle.

The breakfast was okay, and the old building was renovated to make it look nice, which was a nice experience.

While renovating an old building, the lamp switch next to the bed in the room broke, so one day I called a staff member for help, and the next day I had no choice but to sleep with all the light bulbs removed.

While thisis a historic property,with excellent preservation and care to the rooms, it disappointed in the lack of a bell hop to help with the luggage. it is also not a suitable hotel for disable travelers. The main entrance is not useable for handicapped people having narrow and multiple steps exceeding well over 50 of them. More importantly, the street that is accessible handicapped guest can not be used by tis or private vehicles because it is restricted to city buses.

better access for ingress and egress of handicap guests.

The staff were nice. The food and drinks selection at the Bar was good. Breakfast choice was good and food regularly restocked. Free coffee and tea refills too.

Rooms were dark need brighter lighting. The fridge was very noisy couldn't sleep. Maintenance guy unlocked the cabinet to turn off but it still came on. We had to unplug it as it was so loud. The net curtains looked dirty and the room had a musty smell. Had to carry suitcases up the steps at entrance to hotel luckily staff rushed down to help us. Furniture looked tired and dirty. Carpet in llifts is very tired worn and dirty looking

The historic building is beautiful. Security in the hotel was great too. Had to use your room key to make the elevator work. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Bar staff were knowledgeable and gave wonderful service. Breakfast was delicious too!

It was loud from the street below. Fire truck and ambulance sirens being on a good bit of the night. Not hotels fault so I suggest bringing a noise maker.

Fantastic ambiance. Such great history

Our room was lovely. There were some marks on the walls that definitely need to be refreshed. Other than that the room was clean. Beautiful bathroom with historic details

Comfy bed and pillows, friendly greeting at check in, speed of valet service, good drinks at the bar

Kinda pricey for the room, breakfast buffet area too cold

The breakfast buffet is one of the best I have had. Very good quality fruit and the accommodations were great!

I would have liked a coffee maker in the room. It had a really cool decor and the bar area was excellent! Close to the water edge.

Love the way they kept the “old” look

I wasn’t happy with the early arrival fee even though the room was ready

The hotel is beautiful, with deep history, and has been restored with love and care to respect its history. We liked the hotel and staff very much, and will most likely return on our next visit to Seattle.

When booking, if you are a light sleeper, ask for a room that is more quiet than some of the rooms. It is in the middle of a very busy city, so noise is expected.

Great atmosphere,

Small, dark, stuffy rooms, noisy outside.

Just beautiful old world.

Elevators!! So slow.

Location

Repetitive breakfast

Breakfast included, great location Friendly staff.

What an amazing place to stay (or even just visit for cocktails!) - it's like walking into a piece of living history but without losing any of the conveniences of modern life! The staff were superb from the security guard who helped us in with our bags to the staff on reception being topped only by the bar staff who were simply amazing!

Having to leave!

Breakfast was good. Location was near cruise terminal which was biggest factor for booking here. Is an amazing restoration of an older building. Was very well done. Staff were excellent, very friendly and outgoing .

Very cool historic hotel with lots of fun details and friendly staff. Free breakfast was a nice bonus! Spacious, comfortable rooms.

It's not the hotel's fault, but there are lots of homeless people on the street, and lots of late night sirens from the police station a block away. Also kind of a bummer to view the trash filled vacant lot across the street.

Loved the feel of the hotel, it was so charming and the rooms were a lot bigger than I expected! Staff was friendly and kind. Loved the bar area with the pool table.

The only thing that was a real disappointment was the breakfast. Honestly... it was depressing. It didn't match the feel of the rest of the hotel at all. The food was average but the ambiance... was terrible. I wish it was located somewhere else. It needs a remodel for sure.

I did not have it

It's a charming historic hotel. The beds are very comfortable and the breakfast is actually delicious, which is rare. The front desk also accommodated an especially late checkout for me, which was extremely helpful.

The location is convenient for the train station, but too far for the convention center. At night, the surrounding area also feels a bit dangerous and I was hesitant to walk alone. Also, the American practice of hiding all sorts of hidden fees and taxes is infuriating. Each night as this hotel will be at least 30% more expensive than advertised, which feels deceptive. Booking.com should include all the relevant costs upfront!

The staff was very helpful

The room was a tad bit small

Our whole stay was absolutely wonderful! The breakfast was amazing and beyond our expectations. The food was very good and the restaurant atmosphere was perfect. We can't wait until our next visit!

N/A

Club was authentic, Breakfast was fab and the Yukon Gold Rush era authenticity was respectively honored during the financial crash 2007 remodel Grab your architect buddy and have a stay You will appreciate as I did, it's charms

The room was designed to period, reflecting it's original occupants...a bunch of wealthy gold rush barons. The breakfast we hot and quite good.

It is right across the street from a homeless shelter which does impact the feel of the surroundings when you walk out on the street.

Convenient location to the light rail and bus system. Nice lobby, comfortable rooms and pleasant staff.

I wish breakfast would start a bit earlier in the morning. Afternoon coffee and tea in the lobby would also be appreciated.

The Hotel was beautiful. The staff were nice and professional.

The one issue I have was the room. It was really cold. It had no heating system. That would've come in handy given the fact that it was a cold weekend.

Great breakfast, excellent dowtown location.

Beautiful hotel and room. Very classic and comfortable.

The breakfast was very nice. The rooms were comfortable and quiet.

It was unfortunate to see the mass grouping of homeless people on 3rd st. Tents, filth and campfires. Made me a little uncomfortable seeing that immediately across the st.

Location. Nice gym. Good size rooms. Large bathroom.

Extra fees are ridiculous and add up some 30% to the cost. The fees are for amenitities that should normaly be included in the room rate e.g. gym, breakfast , as it was explained to me. Food selection for breakfast is basic - scrambled eggs, potatoes, sausages. Yogurts. Pastry was very good though. But plenty of space for breakfast and all clean.

The Staff was friendly. History of the property was interesting.

A lot of homeless panhandlers near the entrance. to the hotel. My wife needed to bang on the door to have a security person let her in to the hotel. Needed to use valet parking that was very expensive $63.00 per day. Street parking and no other parking available.
