The Arctic Club Hotel, Seattle

the room was beautiful and the breakfast buffet was wonderfully set with a variety choice.

I didn't like the location of the hotel. we came in late at night and felt like our only option was to pay for valet. The second thing I noticed was the bedroom pillows were uncomfortable. they were too thick! Last thing, I felt I was getting judged by how I looked- but not by the staff but by other guests. it made me feel uncomfortable. I was dressed but i felt i was being judged by my appearance

polar bar

Breakfast was great. Location and accommodations prior to the Greenbay vs Seahawks game was wonderful. Would stay there again without hesitation.

The darkness - it was kind of a dark hotel in general.

Beautiful property, wonderful staff and an amazing breakfast!

Nothing!

Solid breakfast buffet, and GF options, too. Loved the towel teddy bear on the bed. Appreciated the makeup mirror. Great idea to have a permanent rug in the bathroom in addition to the bath mat; that way, we can walk in the bathroom on a dry rug, rather than either a wet bath mat or cold tile. BLESS YOU for including a kettle in the coffee nook. On behalf of tea drinkers everywhere, we thank you profusely. And your cups don't smell & taste of coffee. Bonus! We had dinner by the fire in lobby and it was cozy. The waiter was funny and attentive.

Only one cup was in the room so we had to run downstairs and ask for a second mug. The room could also have used a little more dusting, but otherwise, was fine.

Absolutely magical hotel, like entering another era. Great service, very clean, location is a short walk to many things and right on the bus lines.

Breakfast was a little uninspiring, but otherwise loved it.

Clean large rooms and a great atmosphere. Very helpful staff.

In room water was $8 a bottle In room snacks were overpriced by far. A standard chocolate bar was $12.00 Adequate breakfast but limited to the usual, nothing special.

Hotel staff were friendly, beds were very comfortable, awesome history, beautiful bar and dome room. Felt like we were stepping back in time. Great breakfast bar. It was quiet inside (didn't hear guests)

Nothing really. The only negative was hearing so many sirens, but it's downtown Seattle so it's to be expected

Great location in the city. Loved the old historic building

Room 800 heat did not work

Great location

Valet parking took 35 minutes to retrieve my car at a cost of $65.

Unique. Characterful. Family owned. Great location. Not a chain!

Beautiful lobby spacious room. When we had a thermostat malfunction a staff member immediately came to our room and replaced it immediately.

The cost!

The decor is interesting! It feels like u walked down a time tunnel but with electricity n hot running water. The beds are comfortable, shower n bathroom is spacious. The breakfast is satisfactory as well.

Having a microwave will be better for foot heat up (instead of having a sound system in the room)

we left the Arctic Club with mixed impressions. On the positive side we experienced very friendly staff, had a nicely decorated and well-equipped room and were in a good location within walking distance of most major sites. The fact that the surrounding streets are full of homeless people is not to blame on the hotel. We also liked the hotel bar which serves some nice food too. It is the only place in the hotel where you can get some food as the hotel's Juno restaurant is not operating any more.  Breakfast is now served in what used to be the restaurant but the location feels exactly like what it is: an abandoned restaurant.

This is a pity as breakfast is quite decent (albeit with limited choice) with even some excellent fruit. Another aspect we found inappropriate for a 4 star hotel is that they don't make up rooms every day. We stayed four nights and our room was effectively only made up once. Finally, a further negative note was that on one day of our stay they just closed the bar without giving any advance notice. The reason was they apparently needed the staff for a wedding event. We had planned to spend the evening on site and were thus left without any access to food or drink. No attempts whatsoever were made by staff to find a solution for us. That was particularly disappointing as we had been to the bar on the two previous days, so it would not have been rocket science to give us a heads up.

The atmosphere was very warm and the staff were very welcoming and friendly.

Probably the nicest room we’ve stayed in at this price. Staff were all so very friendly and helpful. I’m sure we had an upgrade though they didn’t mention it. The bar is amazing and the two women serving were excellent bartenders, definitely the best martini (stirred!) I’ve had in a hotel bar! Breakfast was a delightful, fully satisfying experience.

It was hard to leave!

The hotel stays true to it's published goals and is extremely clean. The bar and the food provided are of a high standard as is the included breakfast

As the hotel is closed to the court building, a number of vagrants occupy the area

Stunning building keeping all its original features lovely beautiful big room with very comfortable beds and pillows

Would be great to have someone lift the cases up and down the entrance steps, otherwise nothing

It was central location and everything was closed by.

They couldn’t find my reservation and then put me in a room with one bed. I wanted 2 bed. Went back to them and they gave a roll away bed. I finally found my reservation and they made it right. Why couldn’t they found it. The front desk did made the mistake. They didn’t say what they did wrong but after 45 minutes later I got the right room

Location

Old style classy hotel with a sensational bar. Good location. Breakfast area was nice.

Not really a dedicated valet area for check in and check out. Front entrance is on steep hill where taxi justs pulls up at kerbside. 8 steps up from street to hotel entry. We had to search for a valet on arrival and on departure no valet were available on a Saturday. We had to carry our own bags down the stairs to taxi. Not ideal for older guests.

It was a men club 100 years ago. It was redone but the charm of the place was great

There nothing I didn’t like

The older elegant age of the property provided unique charm the room was spacious and the bar/lounger reeking with history

Close to a bit of a homeless gathering

Location was terrific and the ambiance was amazing.

Good food, helpful staff, gorgeous interior design. Very good stay

Loved the theme of the hotel. We arrived in Seattle early in the morning and were able to drop off our luggage at the hotel and park (there is concierge parking, but note that it is NOT included if you book through booking.com-- we found a cheaper option around the corner after learning this). Conveniently located within walking distance of Pike Place market and other downtown sights. We enjoyed a few drinks at the hotel bar. Breakfast was a buffet in the connected restaurant and was quite good.

Parking is NOT included if you book through booking.com

Breakfast was actually great, fresh berries.. homemade granola.

Great

An historic building. Exquisite lobby and bar. The history was why I chose to stay at this property and I was not disappointed. My room was good as well – a good size, if not huge, with a desk area for working and a nice bathroom. The breakfast was buffet style and pretty good.

We had a small discrepancy where the hotel charged me on my closing folio for a room service item that I did not take/use. This was quickly rectified on contacting the hotel by email.

The history of the building was very interesting, our room was great. Easy walk to Lumen Field

Only downside was the homeless population near the hotel

Beautiful old world hotel with plenty of character

Great service and lovely vintage hotel.

The property is very elegant. Very clean. Nice little touches in the room.

N/A

Lavish. Worth the money. Elegant, sophisticated and classic feel; yet, just enough modern amenities to escape antiquity.

Nothing.

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.

Convenient for the concert at Lumen field.

Was on the high price side but considering it was a concert night in Seattle I guess that’s to be expected.

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.

Excellent staff and very comfortable hotel bed

The hall ways always had a stinky smell

The continental breakfast and lobby area.

Room was a bit cramped.

Lovely old hotel

The fan in the bathroom. I couldn't find a way to turn it off. Too many emails from hotel
