I had a great experience at Hotel Hotel! We only stayed for two nights and were mainly spending most of our time out and about, so this was a perfect "only the necessities" option for us! We had a no-contact check in done via text to receive our room information with no issues. Our room was basic but it had what we needed: two twin beds with pillows, blankets, and sheets, two lamps, two small tables, one chair, a heater, an air conditioner, a mini fridge, a sink, a shelf, and some towels. There was a little bit of damage to one of the walls, but otherwise the room was very clean and didn't feel gross at all. I wish we had gotten a smaller towel for our hands to use at the sink, though. The bathrooms are communal, but not in the way I though. There were two bathroom rooms across the hall from our room, each equipped with a toilet, sink, and shower, and were private once entered. So yes, you do share with other guests... but once inside, it's all yours. There were never any issues with trying to use the bathroom and it being occupied, either. The bathrooms were always pretty clean, too. I felt comfortable using them. Theres a communal kitchen if you wish to cook your own food: larger fridges, oven and stovetop, microwave, sink, all the dishes you could want, plus some ingredients and packaged food left from visitors past. We didn't utilize the kitchen much due to our short stay, but it was nice to be able to grab a proper plate to microwave a leftover meal! Hotel Hotel was fuss-free necessities. A great neighbourhood too. I will definitely look into coming back here!

Stayed for two nights while visiting Seattle for fun. I've been to a few hostels and this one was definitely the nicest. Pros: PERSONAL MINI FRIDGE!!! Personal sink+mirror, comfy bed and pillows, decent computer desk and chair, ample electrical outlets everywhere, walls painted dark (great for sleeping in), a coat rack, lockers for storage, and a comfy chair. The building/rooms have keyless entry. Bathrooms and showers were wonderful, zero complaints. Kitchen area was cool, though we never used it. I really enjoyed the vibe of the place as well, very 21st century. Cons: you can either pay for parking, or park in the neighborhood nearby, I was always able to find a spot though. The curtains were nice, but the blinds behind them were broken and only extended 2/3 the length of the window. The walls are PAPER thin, which was unfortunate when our neighbor had an 8am meeting where he was loudly talking (maybe don't do that if you stay here). I think I've covered everything about our 2 day stay. It was overall very pleasant and I will definitely consider this place again the next time we want to stay in Seattle.

Overall I’d really recommend a stay here if you are visiting Seattle. The listing needs to update that breakfast is NOT included, which we were surprised to realise on our first morning. However the kitchen has excellent facilities so you would be able to cook anything you want for breakfast. There are also several spots to pick up breakfast in the surrounding blocks. The place had a great vibe, simple but tasteful decor and very clean and tidy. Our room felt very dark because of the dark painted walls, but made up for that with a great bathroom and comfy bed. A couple of minor things would have improved the stay like a bath mat for next to the shower, an extra robe as there was only one and some shampoo/ soap for the shower (this is really just a note for the owner and didn’t really affect our stay). But as I said, minor criticisms aside I would still highly recommend a stay here and will certainly consider it again for our next trip.

Overall had a good stay—Location and price were excellent! The common areas were clean and tidy which is about where the good things end. Our room smelled awful of urine, stains on the floors and a dirty sock behind the garbage can. The showers on that side of the building had no warm water. But what was truly disturbing was our inability to lock the front door from the inside, a problem that could have been solved if there was reception… or anyone around. Didn’t see a single person during our stay but heard very LOUD sounds early in the morning of what seemed to be furniture being dragged across the floors. Also the room was frigid, we were huddled deep under the blankets with sweaters on to sleep. Overall don’t plan to stay here again if I can help it, but compared to hostels elsewhere it was clean and quiet.

The hotel staff were kind but the hotel door handle came off while we were staying in the room and we were locked in our room for a period of time there were multiple stains on the floor the blinds were broken and the baseboards were coming off of the walls. The front desk area was quite nice and very clean and has a old vibe to the place.

Rooms are very old style and had multiple stains on the floor when we had complained to the staff about our door handle they moved us to a nicer room with no stains.
Safety
The door handle came off and locked us in the room if there had been a fire or emergency we would not have been able to leave our room.

I am sure this is a great spot for some travellers, but it did not work out for us. We loved the no check-in and no keys. Bathrooms were cleaner than I would expect. We found trash in our room on the chairs and the floor. Only one outlet worked, which wasn't enough to charge two phones overnight. We were absolutely ready for the noise from the outside, it's a city. We were not ready for the intense creaking of beds: by intense I mean turning over and even moving a leg would wake us up from how loud it was. Even wearing earplugs didn't help cause you could hear your own bed creak loudly through the pillow. Got no sleep, unfortunately.

Really cute, boutique hostel/hotel in the funky Fremont neighborhood close to many restaurants, bars and shops. We stayed here on New Years Eve and had a private room with its own bathroom. We enjoyed exploring the various markets in Fremont. The weather was good when we were there so we ended up walking to Gas Works Park via the canal and even walked up to Ballard! Unfortunately, we forgot an item in the room and contacted the owner and they quickly responded saying it was found and they were mailing it back to us. Thank you! Easy booking, good communication for arrival info. Recommended!

Chris and the team at Hotel Hotel are absolutely phenomenal! Rooms are clean and spacious, and the area is perfect! We came here 5 years ago and had an absolute blast, and I decided to surprise my partner with a trip reliving all of the fun! We got a private room this time around, which was amazing, and while on the trip I proposed (she said yes!) When we returned to our room we found a bottle of bubbles and a couple of glasses, absolutely incredible touch. If you find yourself looking for affordable digs in Seattle, look no further than Hotel Hotel Hostel!!

I am writing this message to thanks for the hotel's service and facilities. It was way above my expectations. I've been to many hostels in Europe and South America. I didn't expect such a nice place. My special thanks to Chris who was always available to help me. Also, the neighborhood is amazing, all kinds of restaurants and stores, from Arabic food, Asian food to my favorite pizzas right across the street! I really recommend it, you can go through the neighborhood which is really cool. And the price is more than fair, cheap! for the excellence of the place. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Overall, a nice, simple stay. Common areas (kitchen and bathrooms) were clean and orderly. Chris is great with communication and the codes used to both enter the building and each individual room was simple. Good location, but it is public parking. We ended up leaving our car parked in a lot and mostly walked or used public transportation. There is no central air condition, but we had a window unit in our room that kept it nice and cool. Our one main complaint was the squeaky beds. Every time you moved, there was a lot of noise making sleep more difficult. However, overall, a great value for the cost.

The facility was quiet and clean and comfortable. Even with shared (very clean and spacious) bathrooms it felt more private than a traditional hotel. I appreciated the sink and mini fridge in the room, as well as the well stocked communal kitchen. Right in Fremont, there are plenty of shops and restaurants and night life for entertainment. Parking can be tricky but there is a low cost lot a block or so away as well as parking in nearby residential neighborhoods if you are willing to look. I will definitely stay there again!

The name is slightly misleading my father and I thought it would be more like a regular hotel and were surprised that it was a hostel. Poor research on our part. However having never staying in a hostel it was a pretty cool experience. Communal bathrooms were clean and the room was super nice. Was gonna put 3 stars considering it’s not what I expected however from the one sentence I spoke to Chris he seemed like a cool guy and also helped with any problems we had so overall a solid experience.

Our reservation was for one king bed, but when we got there our room was two twin beds with horribly uncomfortable mattresses. Requested an extra room key from Chris when we got there but received no response. Provided towels were old and stale. There was no turn down service. No fresh towels provided. Extremely disappointing for how much they charge. I understand this is not a hotel but come on now. At least the room and bathroom were clean.

Location is perfect, but parking can be tough. The check in process over text was great, my preferred way of doing it. Private room the first visit was great, really ideal. The second visit was not so much. A bit dirty, sort of seemed like they left in the middle of cleaning and didn't come back to finish? I know one pillow was definitely dirty and smelled like sweat, that was a bummer.

We had such a fun stay in Seattle. This location is within walking distance to lots of great food and coffee! The staff was so friendly and helpful. They even washed my clothes! As I neared the end of the stay, I noticed the room was a little dirty than it seemed at first since the room is very dark with dark carpet and paint. There were piles of dust on the sides of the bed frame.

I had a really good hostel experience here. The rooms, kitchen, bathrooms and all the other areas were always clean. I talked to almost all of the staff and they're all wonderful people. I felt really welcomed, comfy and safe there. The Fremont area gets really quiet at night and during the day it's a lot of fun to explore by foot! Transit to close by parks and downtown is given as well. All in one, perfect hostel, stayed 5 nights. Only concern- no outside sitting area. No big deal tho.

Superb hospitality - the staff were extremely friendly and knowledgable about the area! The whole place was very clean, nice size bathrooms, and we felt very safe. In a hip and trendy neighbourhood with lots of bars/restaurants within walking distance. We took the bus as most of our transportation and it was so easy to navigate. 10/10 would recommend this place! Great bang for your buck!

This was my first time staying in a hostel. It was a convenient stay. 10 min away from downtown Seattle by bus. Tons of cute shops all around. About a 7 min walk from the Fremont statue, which was a goal I had for visiting. The morning staff was super friendly!

This is a great hostel, well run and maintained, clean, and in a prime location in the Fremont area, near restaurants and generally speaking within walking distance to pretty much everything. However, it's so expensive, even for Seattle standards, but I guess people pay for the location here...

Clean. All I ask for is a clean place to stay when I am on vacation. Friendly staff, nice kitchen set-up, decent breakfast selection, great security. Many times I couldn’t find my door key because of a messy purse, and I was not allowed in until I found it. I say, this is a great way to keep unwanted guests and a safe environment. Located in a great neighborhood with a lot of places to eat!

We had an enjoyable stay with easy check in and check out process. We felt very safe and the location is perfect! Highly recommend for any short stays.

Great spot for late afternoon/early evening drinks with good pub grub. Not too crowded, there's a big screen with projector for sports and free pool, although only has one table. Couple times been here they've had excellent mix of songs playing as well.

great place to stay in Fremont area of seattle and definitely better than staying in aurora / highway 99! Keep in mind it is a hostel so bathroom / kitchen space is shared but overall it was clean, affordable and a great place for our guests to stay!

Loved this place’s charm, great price, location and room was clean. Will definitely be staying here next time

Very clean. Friendly staff and very nice accommodations, especially for the price. I am no stranger to hostels, and this one was one of the nicest I've been to. It was also the first hostel my father has been in, and he absolutely loved it.

Very good place to stay if you just need somewhere to sleep and shower while in town. It's located on Freemont which is fairly close to everything else, it's cheap, it's clean, and it feels safe. The only problem is there's no parking, so
