This was the first step of a special trip for my birthday. i had told them that when I booked a MONTH IN ADVANCE, and requested a "QUIET ROOM". My request was overlooked, as room 6 was pretty close to the 1000 decibels noise of their ice machine, and when I asked for another room, they had "sold out" those... More

This is a nice, cozy little hotel just above the El Gaucho restaurant in Belltown. The rooms are well maintained and very clean. It's very cute with a nice sitting area and fireplace lobby. The staff is very friendly and helpful. This was a weekend getaway for my husband and me and it fit the bill perfectly!! I will definitely... More

I've been bumped from a flight, but never a hotel. But that is what happened when my husband and I arrived at the El Gaucho Inn on a rainy Thursday afternoon. Initially, we were told that the hotel had overbooked, then the story changed to that the person in our room who was to check out had refused to leave.... More

Dear 658TopCat658, We truly apologize that this situation occurred, as this is no fun for anyone, and it does not display the level of service that we like to offer. Under Washington state law we are not allowed to remove a guest's belongings from a room. We tried numerous times to contact the guest, who was supposed to be checking... More

We stayed only one night and it was mid-week. Our stay was very comfortable. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The decor is sort of 30's art deco, relax but sophisticated. The room was large and well appointed (looked as appeared in photos). The things that really mattered to us; immaculately clean, fresh baked cookies in our room, easy... More

This is a hotel that sits over the restaurant of the same name. One of the finest eating establishments in Seattle. The location is great if you need to be near downtown Seattle. Everything is within easy walking distance. The rooms are renovated in an older building and they did a nice job. The rooms are also a little over... More

The Inn at El Gaucho is set in the interesting Belltown section of downtown Seattle, close to Pike Place Market, downtown shopping and numerous restaurants. We chose a room on the Elliott Bay side - First Avenue can get noisy, and enjoyed two very quiet nights. The staff was personable and professional. The room was clean, had plenty of space... More

My wife and I stayed here for a nice getaway. The rooms are a great size, very nicely appointed, with very comfortable beds and top-notch housekeeping. The hotel's location is excellent, only a few minutes walk to the Space Needle and Pike Place. My only complaint is that the wifi doesn't work at the backside of the building; they need... More

The perfect vintage hotel in the heart of Bell Town! An easy 10 min. walk to the Space Needle. The stay was made very comfortable by the excellent staff, and the little things like fresh cookies in the room. The room was larger than I expected.

The hotel was in the perfect location and the valet parking was very convenient. We didn't have to worry about finding street parking and we could walk to all our destinations.
