- room was excellent and very comfortable.
- staff was very friendly and helpful.
- breakfast was excellent.
- enjoyed the decor in the room and in the hotel.
- the pioneer square link station is just outside the hotel.
- pike market is walking distance from the hotel.
- in general, lots of dining places nearby.
- one sad thing was the problem of homelessness that was evident in the neighborhood. many seemed to be high on drugs but did not cause any problems.

Stayed here before and after a cruise
First night I have 4 stars just because I heard a lot of fire truck sirens etc. When stayed after the cruise, only heard them once. Great place to stay especially if you like historic building. Breakfast was amazing for selection. Staff was also amazing. They let us go to room before check in since room was ready. Highly recommended. Close to all amenities in Seattle also

Arrived from a cruise disembarkation so did not expect an early check-in to room. Staff were accommodating and a room was ready, on this occasion.
Hotel interior and rooms have character and history, unlike more modern corporate chains.
Room was very clean. Bed very comfy.
Decided to stay in for evening meal - good standard of food served.
Complimentary breakfast buffet was adequate - I did miss bacon, but nevertheless, had everything else you would expect. Helpful staff.
Only negative was not receiving my morning wake up call that was requested. Luckily, I did not have an early flight to catch!
Hotel location was good, to be able to catch the hop on- hop off city bus tours at the Observatory tower.

The only reason this gets 4 stars is because of the noise

Lots of fire trucks and police sirens at night and there is no buffering of outside noises

Beautiful historic building, great staff, comfortable beds and if you eat at the restaurant…. Get the sticky rice! Amazing!

Rooms (and bathrooms!) spacious, comfortable and well-apportioned. Polar Bar, the classy lobby lounge, way welcoming, fun and interesting, with incentive craft cocktails. The included breakfast buffet was varied, plenty and quality. Every staff member we encountered was friendly and helpful.

Enjoyed my 2-night stay here immensely. The parking attendants were very friendly and helpful. The staff was wonderful and addressed my needs and concerns. The breakfast was excellent with a variety of items. Not much of a view, but the hotel makes up for that with its staff and amenities. I love the Light Rail and Bus System in Seattle, so there is no need to find parking. The Light Rail is in the next block south, and the buses travel 3rd Avenue without any other traffic. The bus stops are right in front of the Arctic Club Hotel for anywhere north or south, and Pioneer Square is only 2 blocks away on 1st Avenue. Plenty of things to do or eat in the immediate area, and the bar and its food offerings and drinks are nice as well.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Artic Club and would not hesitate to rebook again. The hotel has old school charm and soul. We prefer hotels that have character and this met our expectations. It is well located in downtown with a 15 min. walk to Pike’s Market and other restaurants in the area. The staff was cordial and accommodating. The complimentary breakfast was a plus too. There is a comfortable lounge area with a happy hour and dinner menu. The wait staff was friendly and prompt with our orders.
It was very busy one evening and we discovered that the hotel hosts the very popular Candlelight Concerts. Worth attending if you visit the hotel or area.
Some people might have safety concerns about the area, but any big city downtown areas require visitors to exercise caution at night.

This was a fun stay for us downtown! It was very thematic. The bartending staff were amazing! Very attentive and great drinks. However, since it is an older building, one of the people in our party was having allergies to the mold/dust/etc since the building is so old. Breakfast was great and very convenient, nice mix of classic and custom options. We also had some miscommunication with the front desk staff about a room reservation, but they worked it out for us.

Fantastic stay, we plan on going back to Seattle with family JUST to stay at The Arctic Club. The hotel itself is charming, we greatly enjoyed our room and the look of the place. Breakfast was outstanding as was dinner at the Polar Bar.
The neighborhood is so incredibly walkable and convenient to everywhere we wanted to go. We had our vehicle with us and the valet parking was convenient and at $75 a day it wasn’t inexpensive but better than trying to find parking.
A couple of the valet staff were a bit rude/unfriendly but otherwise the hotel and restaurant staff were fabulous and accommodating.
We will most certainly return, and again, probably just to stay at the Arctic Club and walk around and enjoy Seattle. Definitely a terrific stay, highly recommend!

The bedroom was smallish but everything was very clean and comfortable. It's an old hotel and you can tell, but not in a bad way. The bathroom was modern and clean. Staff were nice. The breakfast was actually one of the best free hotel breakfasts I've had in a while. It was still a buffet but there were more hot choices that others have and everything was tasty. I'd stay there again just for that! The location is right next to a train station which is super convenient. But be prepared that particular area of downtown is pretty dead on the weekends and there wasn't much around that was open. I'm not sure I'd be walking around those few blocks by myself at night. All in all, I'd stay there again.

The breakfast was superb. The hotel building is very old and I appreciated that the old character and charm were enhanced particularly in the lobby area. The bathroom was nicely renovated in an old and elegant fashion. Our main problem was the sofa bed. Very uncomfortable and old piece of furniture that it was difficult to sleep on. The view from the room was the adjacent parking lot which was an eyesore. Staff was wonderful. While I loved the old character of this historical building but the rooms can be lighten up a little by changing the curtains, wall colors and carpet. It was just very dark even during the day (and it was sunny outside).

What a great hotel! We arrived in Seattle early and the hotel stored our bags so we could go and see the sights. Every staff member was friendly and helpful. Loved the decor which tried to fit the atmosphere of the early 1900’s when the building was originally constructed. Breakfast included and was delicious. Enjoyed the food and drinks at the bar. Room was immaculate. So glad we chose to stay here!

We stayed two nights. they assign us a room on 5th floor which the building chiller was in front of its window. we could not sleep because of the sound of chiller which is like jet engine. Then we use the water dispenser on 5th floor to fill up our bottle, the water was so contaminted that whitin an hour or two, we got diarreah. Fortunately since we arrived late, we knew it was caused by water since we did not eat anythingelse. we report to the front desk and they assign aus another room on the opposite side of the building and they said they will test the water. The breakfast is regular and the best thing is its coffee. one of the best coffee in Seatle. The staff wete nice and very accomodating and the restaurant is very good.
