Hotel Theodore, Seattle
Expert reviews
“The Hotel Theodore is a refined 153-room property that reopened in 2017 after a style-minded renovation. In the Art Deco tower that formerly housed the Roosevelt Hotel, guests are now surrounded by Seattle-sourced products, from a collection of local art and artifacts to house-roasted beans in the on-site coffee shop.”
Featured in New York Times’ 36 Hours in Seattle.
“This Art Deco skyscraper has undergone a floor-to-ceiling refresh: style-wise, the downtown landmark salutes Seattle’s industrial past, which led to its role as a tech and innovation hub. This luxurious urban escape especially appeals to creatives and entrepreneurs.”

Very good

Premier king rooms suitable for one occupant.
Intimate, well maintained
The rooms were tiny - HVAC was loud and right over the bed - and loud. The bathroom vanity and space was hardly bigger than a closet - cramped for even one person. Nice furnishings however poor layout.

Very good
Great location. Nice lounge area. Friendly staff.
No kettles for tea in the room… only an expresso machine which if course is great for the coffee drinkers. It’s more than $4.00 for a cuppa tea downstairs but coffee is free in the rooms. I do love being in a room where you can open the windows for some fresh air but you cannot do that at this hotel. My rm was on the small side so I get kind of claustrophobic when you cannot open windows.

Nice, quiet and comfortable hotel, room a bit small.
Comfortable room, could control the heat. Very clean, quiet and all staff were very pleasant. Good shower, staff provided extra coffee for the machine, no probs. Good location as we walked everywhere we wanted to go.
Room and bathroom were a bit small for the price (but Seattle is expensive, I guess).

Great location.
The in-suite coffee machine was broken. But when we brought it to the staff's attention, they offered us complementary coffee, which was a great way to make it right.

Cozy, comfortable, and incredible value!
The rooms are cozy and well-decorated, and the bed is an actual cloud. One of the most comfortable hotel sleeps I’ve ever had! The staff were super friendly and helpful, and the coffee bar and restaurant downstairs are both really nice.
The only thing we didn’t like was that the parking they advertise is a paid parkas next door, and it was $32 for the night. Thankfully we were only in town one night but if you’re staying longer with a vehicle it would definitely add up!

A lovely, dog friendly hotel in a great location
Great ambience; friendly staff; great location; comfortable beds; enjoyed the complimentary wine
The only negative was not enough storage in the bathroom for our toiletries. My toothbrush fell off the narrow shelf onto the floor - gross!

Great Location, Great Stay!
The location was perfect ! Great restaurants , bars , coffee shops, and Pike's Market all at a walking distance. The hotel was stunning, and the restaurant on site RIDER was a big hit as well.
Some of the unfortunate homeless people around the area were a bit aggressive.

Good downtown hotel in a gritty neighborhood, with small rooms
Room was clean, staff were friendly. Bed was comfortable.
Location is a bit dicey. Lots of unhoused people around, a problem throughout downtown Seattle I’m afraid. There was no housekeeping offered. When I asked the staff. Said that housekeeping was “upon request “. They should have made that clear at check in not later. Room had a nice king bed but it was so small that two people couldn’t sit or have any luggage around. Bathroom was also tiny. Aside from that the hotel is fine.

This was my favorite hotel I have ever stayed at!
I loved how central this location is. I enjoyed that I was always going a different direction each day which is way more fun than the same walk everyday. I loved the walk in shower room. Get a room with a bathtub! Then go to Pike Place and get a bath bomb. It was no mistake that the tv was positioned so you can see it from the bathtub.
Nothing

Perfect Seattle stay
Rooms are AMAZING! Spacious, gorgeous views of the city, and always feel fresh/clean. I stay here every time I have an overnight layover in Seattle. Easy walk to pikes place. And the rooms come with big comfy robes plus an espresso machine :)
No cons

Highly recommend!
The location was terrific and the little touches such as free umbrellas for the Seattle rain was much appreciated!
There was a distinct smoky smell from the kitchen that even managed to make its way to the 15th floor.

Good place to stay if you want to be close to everything
The location was amazing and the hotel was very cute
The parking. It is very small and pricey

Beautiful hotel, great location, amazing staff.
Spacious and beautifully decorated room. They are super friendly and received some amazon packages without charging extra handling fees. The location is simply perfect, the SeaTac Link train stops almost in front of the hotel. Walking distance to the monorail (Space Needle) and Public Markets.
I don't have a single complaint!

Other than the dinner experience at Rider, the stay was absolutely great.
The location was central to all the things we wanted to see. The Mopop, Space Needle, Pike Market and Lumen Stadium. All walkable distances
We didn’t have a good experience at their restaurant Rider. The waiter took over 20 mins to take our drink order and that was after I waved him down. The place wasn’t even busy. When we finally ordered our food the waiter came back to tell us they were out of burgers so we had to change our order. We waited over an hour to get our food and when it did it was not tasty at all. My husband ordered Steak Frits and it tasted like a frozen dinner. The calamari appetizer tasted like flour. I ordered Rough Chowder, it was the only dish that was enjoyable. But after waiting over an hour for it- we were not satisfied with the service or food. My husband had to let the service manager know and they compensated our dinner. Definitely not a restaurant we would go again to.
