Top Woodland Park Zoo Hotel Reviews

Hotel Ballard

10/10 Excellent

"I must have walked by this hotel more than 100 times when I lived in Seattle. I did not stay in it until I moved away. Gorgeous personal space with a fireplace in the living room. Humongous tub in the bathroom, the largest I’ve seen in any hotel. Very roomy, classic old style with cozy finishes and furnishings. Excellent quality service as well. Large selection of quality restaurants, bars and cafes in the neighborhood. Lots of mom & pop type boutiques too. Ballard is so cool. This hotel is too. Would definitely stay there again."

Staypineapple, Watertown Hotel, University District Seattle

10/10 Excellent

"Very quaint and cute little spot to stay. My entire family (wife and 2 kids) enjoyed to space. Not super fancy, but just right, at least from our perspective. Staff were very helpful and eager to assist. Great central Seattle location. We walked to many shops and restaurants. Very close to the link rail system, making public transportation easy."

Comfortable 2-bedroom, 2 decks, walking neighborhood, & minutes to downtown.

10/10 Excellent

"It’s a wonderful property- clean, cozy and charming. It was great to sit on the front porch on a warm afternoon. Two negatives. There is an apartment below, which I didn’t pick up from the listing. However except for one night when there was a party (not too loud or too late), there was no disturbance. The other was a very inappropriate and offensive political button in one drawer of the dresser. I don’t know if it belonged to the owner or a prior occupant, but, either way, it should have been removed before we arrived."

Charming Green Lake Craftsman – Hot Tub, AC, Dog Friendly, Walk to Lake & C...

10/10 Excellent

"One of the rare vacation rentals that feels more like a home than a house. Very cozy, every amenity you can imagine, comfortable beds, and charming decor. My pup appreciated the dog amenities as well!"

Boutique Chic Garden Retreat a Fremont Oasis w/ a BBQ, fire pit & outdoor dining

10/10 Excellent

"This house was the perfect location to everything we needed. I highly recommend going to Highland Coffee and Seattle Biscuit Company just two minutes from the house. We loved everything about our brief visit to Seattle!"
