Top Ballard Locks Fish Ladder Hotel Reviews

The Paramount Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We loved staying here for 2 nights. Great location, walking distance of waterfront and Pike Place Market. Good transport connections: buses and trains. Nice cafe located next to the hotel. Cheap shuttle service when we were ready to depart for cruise was nice as we thought we had to arrange taxi."

The Belltown Inn

8/10 Good

"Spacious room in central location, bus stops on door step and within walking distances of major attractions etc. Hot coffee and communal roof top was great!"

Chic Seattle Ballard Townhouse with Rooftop Retreat Walkable to shops and dining

8/10 Good

"Very clean and as described in the listing. The kitchen is very nice except for the tv which seemed to only have one volume setting: loud. I liked that they had fans in the closet to use in the upstairs bedroom. The 1st floor bedroom is rather small but includes a bath an shower. My sister who used the space said there were no sheets. By the time she noticed it was very late. I had contacted the host in advance to ask if they used synthetic smells from sprays and laundry detergent and was assured they were not used so I was disappointed that the towels in the bathroom I used smelled strongly of the awful smelling laundry detergent in the laundry cabinet. I am also waiting for a piece of clothing to be returned to me that I accidentally left. I asked if I wanted it returned and said yes but have not seen it. It has been a little over two weeks. I followed up and offered to pay for the shipping, but no reply. There are a lot of close by restaurants near the unit. My sister and I found a great vegan place just a few mins away by car. Overall a fairly good stay for a short time we were there."

Brand New, Luxe & Bright Gem: Prime Location - Queen Anne, Roof Deck, Views

"Nice place set in the Queen Anne Hill section of Seattle. It's about a half hour drive to the airport and 20 minutes to downtown. Very well kept up condo with 4 levels including the rooftop. There is a large screen tv in the living area. Big kitchen with all the expected amenities plus way more including a tea pot and keurig. The hosts were very responsive to questions."

"Staying here was amazing! The house is so clean. The neighborhood is so quiet with so many cute stores and great park nearby! Also, there are cute cats. We were walking around and pet many. We also hoped to see Jimothy but havent had the chance. The house has the best spot to see him. Next time! The parking was plenty. The house is so full and well equipped. Absolutely love it! Will stay again soon when we come back to Seattle"

10/10 Excellent

"The best vrbo I have ever stayed in. Great location, all amenities needed, and just the cutest place to spend time!"

Hotel Ballard

10/10 Excellent

"We loved the convenient location to downtown Ballard. Lots of places to eat and walk to. We did have a car and utilized the parking garage. It the parking garage was better lit that would have been ideal. The lights are motion sensitive but it is pitch dark in the garage until you are literally already in the spot that you need lighting for. Had I been traveling by myself as a single woman I would have been very hesitant to use the garage for safety reasons."
