    The location is excellent, literally in the heart of the historic Ballard with all the little restaurants and shops. It's fun to walk around. The decor of the hotel is elegant without being pretentious. We loved the attention to detail, the colors, and fixtures. Our room was very comfortable. The lobby decorations for Christmas and the fireplace were perfect.

    Convenient to Swedish Ballard hospital

    Everything is good -would have been nice if the restaurant wasn't closed on Monday, but found a fun restaurant across the street.

    (The title is what my spouse said after the first night.) We selected the Hotel Ballard as we were coming from out of town to be part of a wedding on the rooftop pavilion, and were pleased with what a wonderful hotel it is. Staff are professional and friendly. Didn't have to wait long for the elevator. In the room, the climate control, wifi, and plumbing all work perfectly. Bed and pillows are comfortable. Pretty quiet, not a lot of noise transfer from other rooms, the hallway, or the street. The location is close to unique shopping and dining.

    In our room, the closet space for hanging items was limited due to the amenities also inside the closet (bathrobes, iron/ironing board, wall safe). Probably wouldn't normally be an issue, but we were traveling with wedding clothes and had wet outerwear from the rain. (btw they offer complimentary umbrellas for use during your stay)

    Staff was friendly and accomodating of requests despite the fact that the hotel was fully booked.

    10RoniePosted on: 10-7-2025

    The bedroom was excellent and the bed was one of the most comfortable ever. In fact I asked the desk about the sheets and pillows.

    Nice cosy hotel, great location, staff friendly and helpful.

    The gym in the hotel is awesome as you can use the community gym.

    The hotel had construction ongoing that started early in the morning. The construction caused loud noise. Despite this there was no rebate. Instead a coupon for a massage was offered. That is an offer that many guests will not use, and therewith the hotel saves money. A rebate would have been appropriate.The rooms towards the street are noisy in that there are restaurants and bars that run until midnight.The value for money was not ok, given that there was so much construction noise.

    The location was great for visiting Ballard and the nearby area, but it was far from activities in downtown Seattle. The room was very nice.

    The carpet in our room had big stains. Housekeeping did not come until late afternoon.
