I stayed at this boutique hotel for 4 nights and loved the rooms (nice and spacious), bed, location, only a short walk to pike markets. The only down fall for me is if there is any noise on the street you can hear it very well in from your room, reception staff during the week were awesome, not so nice... More

Wow I guess people get really excited for mediocre hotels. Located in a trendy part of town, the building is run down and visually unappealing. Staff was accommodating enough, nothing spectacular. Though the furniture in the rooms was newer, the overall decor was less than impressive. The bathroom was old with dingy floors. No fridge, no microwave. Nothing to be... More

Loved this place. Excellent rooms, with leather sofa's flat screen tv's and the most comfortable bed I have ever slept it. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Loved the fresh cookie in the room when you arrive and bottled water, it's the extra's that make this hotel unique. Ate at the sister restrant Aqua, wonderful seafood but the lobster topped... More

The hotel is on the second floor and is not handicap accessible, but for all others, this is a really fun place. From the movie theater, to the burlesque room adn dining room, this is evocative of the Rat Packera gone by. I had possibly one of the best steak dinners in the restaurant, and our room was fantastic with... More

Just returned from a relaxing stay at the Inn and loved LOVED it! Here's the thing...it's not a typical hotel or chain at all. With just 19 rooms & no elevator you can tell they really try to go the extra mile to make up for it. The rooms are a wonderful size for the price and the freshly baked... More

This inn is in the perfect location if you don't have a car. It was easy to walk, with suitcase to catch the Victoria Clipper to Canada. Easy walk to great cafes, Space Needle ( a bit further) and Pike Market. Getting up the stairs with a suitcase is tricky but survivable. Wonderful staff on the desk, very helpful and... More

This was by far one of the best hotel experiences I have ever had. From the moment we walked into the lobby, we were impressed with the decor, vibe, and staff. Raven at the front desk was AMAZING. She was friendly, helpful, answered all our questions, gave us good restaurant recommendations, told us where to avoid, told us where we... More

Only stayed one night at this place, but it was an important one, as it was the night before the start of our 3.5wk road trip. Read a lot of reviews before booking a place and this one seemed to be a bit out of the ordinary. And yes, it is. In a good way! The room are cozy, the... More

Took a quick two night getaway to Seattle and decided to try the Inn at El Guacho. Glad we did as the Belltown location was amazing. The staff were all delightful and while I missed the full breakfast that a B&B might offer the coffee and newspaper were a welcome start to the day. Our room was at the back... More

Read a few (albeit older) reviews of The Inn at El Gaucho and wanted to clarify (1) yes there are stairs but (2) the staff was overwhelming willing to carry our bags up/down whenever we entered. The location was pretty good - centrally located between Space Needle, Pikes Market & Cruise Terminal - with plenty of stores, cafes, etc near... More
