    Overall, this hotel is really great and affordable! The rooms are equipped with a single king-sized mattress, lighting controlled by tablet, and just simple relaxing decor (not pictured, my apologies!). The only thing stopping it from a 5-star would probably be the food. It wasn't great but it's a really good selling point because of its convenience. So, it takes away from the late night searching which is really great. It's near so much and located downtown. I've been to both locations in downtown Seattle and have loved both equally! Would definitely recommend if you're coming with a friend, partner, or in a party of 2 if you don't mind sharing a bed!

    So I recently stayed here for my birthday and I've been wanting to go to this hotel since September 2023 back when I was living in Arizona and I finally got to go to the hotel that was wanted to go to and man was the experience was amazing. It is so beautiful large and just the vibes are just amazing to me. The customer service is top notch. They are so friendly and helpful and just there for you. I had questions to ask and they answer all the questions I needed to ask them and I like how this place is for solo travelers and couples which is very much needed nowadays, but I will become back again for Thanksgiving and Christmas just because it's a beautiful hotel and it is in downtown Seattle so that's what I love about it and everything is nearby and a walkable. I highly recommend citizenM for people.

    First time visitor Was able to make reservation on a partnering website (they do have their own app to download for check in / check out / information about the hotel overall) Located right across Denny Park Street parking / lot parking that I believe cost About 20 to 30 mins away from Seattle airport pending time of day and weather Unique lobby filled with character hidden touches cultural references various work spaces and materials and centered open bar - look for The Pac-Man and ghost :) Upon entry are sets of computers to check in and create your own room key card, can be done on the app too and be provided with room number Had the king room which is 150 square feet / yep sounds very small but it was very functional and thoughtful in the layout Firm bed and large firm squishy pillows and the comforter may look thin but was cozy and warm The sink had storage for trash towels tiny fridge and vanity area The bathroom was a walk in shower with toilet The bed had built in storage and safe The window view was just lovely to see the life of night and day come by There is a small desk and lamp built in on each side on the bed Tiny closet to store your bag and a few hangers provided Hair dryer is provided One thing I noticed there are not any USB plug in the room so bring your wall adapter, however in the lobby various charging stations and plug in available at many seating areas. The fun part which I didn't think I enjoy as much as I did is the iPad that controls everything in the rooms from the curtains / black out curtains / lights / tv / temperature / etc The sets of curtain was a nice touch to enjoy and could hardly hear any running water or noise through the walls Very centrally located to many spots such as pikes downtown Amazon sphere parks Whole Foods caffeine space needle - felt very safe walking during various parts of the morning mid day and evening Walk in shower has a hand held and rain shower effect - it does say 100 degree the hottest water does get but I did find one of the morning the water did not retain its heat and started to become a cooler shower Gym facility below has peloton free weights and rowing machines Bar has a water refill system for both flat and carbonated water Option to pay for breakfast and late checkout is available Lastly they acknowledge the note attach to the reservation - a hand written card was left 2 balloons and complimentary drink card, really shows they care and put in effort with detailed touches Would certainly recommend and this hotel chain is located through both in the US and internationally. Thank you for the amazing experience!

    My first time staying in Seattle and I picked the CitizenM to stay at. This was my new home for a few days and I love the community space in here. I have never stayed in any of these CitizenM hotels but a friend of mine suggested trying them out. So I did and enjoyed my entire experience at the hotel. The price was reasonable but maybe for some people the room itself might be a tad bit on the smaller side. The shower is also just a small shower size like what you would find on a cruise ship. The blackout curtains were a bonus for me and you have a ton of privacy. I didn't hear any of my neighbors when I was here. Love the way and layout of the bar and the decorations all put around the hotel. I did order drinks here and also had food here too! Not bad at all and overall I just had a fun and great experience. If I'm in another place I'll see if CitizenM has a location there.

    Stayed here for 3 days 2 nights and really enjoyed my stay. The location is great, close to Whole Foods, public transit, walkable, with plenty of good restaurants nearby. Room is very modern and tech, you can control the temperature, lighting, curtains, TV with an iPad. The bed was very comfy! I slept so well. My room was plenty for one person although I can imagine being a little bit small for a couple. The room is very efficiently designed, much like those in Japan where everything was thoughtfully designed to maximize the storage/counter space. The shower was also on the smaller side. The lobby was a nice place to chill, hang out with friends or do some co-working. Very artsy, modern vibe. Minor gripe - the room didn't have coffee or tea, which for the price was very disappointing. The gym was small and pretty barebones, no yoga mats and limited equipments. Check in was easy, did everything on a computer and an associate checked my ID. Checking out was less seamless, I had accidentally spilled water on my key card so it wasn't checking out so the girl assisting said she'll take care of it. I asked if she needed my room number, she said no. I didn't get any email confirmation so I asked another girl and she was like uh you never check out.

    An industrial design approach hotel that puts technology and art at the forefront. I've seen this chain of hotel all over including LA and NY. During my trip to Seattle I finally decided to stay here and I'm glad I did. I found this hotel to be very modern and youthful in style. I did some research on The CitizenM brand and found that The Citizen M hotels are built out of modules that are roughly shipping container sized. The outside structure of this hotel very much gives that. As you can imagine due to the container size comparison of the rooms, the rooms are narrow but strangely spacious. Because of the narrow width there are many design compromises, such as the XL square bed filling the entire width of the room, creating a situation where if two people are sharing it, one has to climb over the other. However, if you rethink the bed and use your imagination just a bit. If your sharing with someone like I did, you can place the pillows by the window to sleep. that way you wont have to climb over each other when getting out of bed. Try it. The shower controls are an European design and was actually kind of complicated for me to figure out even with the pictures on the side. All the lightening in the room are LED lights that come in different colors. Giving you the options to tune the room from business to ambiance. This and more is all functional by a tablet in your room that pretty much controls everything including the TV, climate, electronic window shade, everything is interconnected. Its pretty cool because you really don't even need traditional staff for very much because there's a self-serve check-in and check out, cashless dining and snack bar, free Wi-Fi, and even a Ironing room that is always open to iron your clothes if needed called "Iron heaven". There's also an AYCE breakfast buffet you can purchase for $18.99 that's actually good. This hotel is definitely something of the future.

    This is such a beautiful special place, and I've been traveling around the world for a long time .... This hotel really amazed me. The service is very friendly, the rooms are small and are very high tech and very comfortable to stay in. Everything that you need is there in place... it l feels like somebody really thought about everything. Breakfast is to die for.

    I loved staying at the CitizenM. I can confirm that it's been the best hotel I've ever stayed at. Modern tech, sleek design and close to pretty much everything. From the self check-in process on the computer to checking out, everything went well. Our room was a little small but with all the great tech features for lighting and music, there's nothing I can complain about. I would definitely stay here again and strongly recommend it.

    Loved it. Are Citizen M Hotels right for everyone? No, but I don't think they need to be. I stayed for 3 nights at this hotel while visiting my friend and had a wonderful time. The room was the cleanest hotel room I had ever stayed in, the lobby was fun and the friend I was visiting came and hung out with me multiple times cause it was a great place to hang out. One of the nights we got free corn nuts from the bar and getting anything free from hotels, I'm a sucker for. We loved the sparkling and still water taps in the lobby. And we even got some good work done at one point! The location was pretty central, which made it easy to walk around in my free time. I think for solo travelers, this is such a great hotel.

    Drew was amazing and gave great service ! Very kind and had excellent customer service

    Miya J.

    When I stay at a hotel this is what I want it to be, CLEAN, tech savvy, welcoming, comfortable, safe, and in a great location. I will most defiantly be adding this chain to my list of must stays. The only thing that would have made it is a 5 would be free coffee and iron/ironing board in the room.

    We had a good time here.Tyler has great customer service. He was the person who greeted us from the beginning. His service was attentive, kind, helpful and just an amazing personality. The bed was very comfortable and loved how the rooms looked. So sleek and cozy. I also loved how the rooms have the option to change the colors of the room light. It adds a a great ambiance to the room with whatever mood your trying to set. The lobby area is my favorite. So many areas to sit and hang out, read a book to grab a drink with your friends. It's very trendy and well decorated. On the flip side, their pillows are not comfortable and their food choices aren't exactly appetizing. But the drinks were made well especially the service from Emily at the bar too! Thanks for the great service Tyler and Emily

There's only a small area for parking in front of the hotel and it's also the spot for Valet. You'll likely have to post up in the travel lane to check in or drop off your car. The hotel has some unique amenities but I wasn't able to use them for such a short stay. The King corner room far exceeded my expectations. It's spacious and felt pretty luxurious. The star of the room is the soaking tub. It's deep and the water is hot. I especially liked that there's a separate shower. The workspace is nice and there are plenty of plugs for everything. The Nespresso comes stocked and is free to use. The mini bar, not so much, and it's pretty pricy. The bed. THE BED! If I could have brought it home with me I would have. It's lush and it smelled good. Like fresh dryer sheets good. I don't think I've ever said that about a hotel bed before. If you need a firm bed you won't like this one. I didn't have much interaction with the staff but when I did it was pleasant. I am definitely staying here again.

One stand out is the gentleman at Rosebay craft cocktails serving wine at the 3 o'clock hour. He was exceptional.

    I had a great stay at The Sound Hotel Seattle Belltown and would definitely consider staying here…read moreagain. I booked it partly because it's part of Hilton's Tapestry Collection, so I could earn and redeem Hilton Honors points. That was a huge plus since I was visiting during the World Cup and hotel prices were absolutely wild: close to $800 a night if I had paid out of pocket! The service was excellent from the moment we arrived. There was a bellman opening the door, everyone we interacted with was friendly and accommodating, and it was always easy to grab an Uber right outside the hotel. One feature I really liked was the little pantry in the lobby. It's basically a self-service convenience store stocked with local candy, snacks, wine, beer, and other treats. You scan everything yourself and can charge it directly to your room, which was super convenient. We used our HHonors stay credit to buy a small bottle of Washington State wine and some local chocolates. The hotel has a really fun music theme throughout, and the design is modern with a Scandinavian-inspired feel. As a Gen Xer, I thought the vibe was just plain cool without trying too hard. Our standard King room had huge windows, a spacious sitting area, and clean, minimalist European-style décor that felt fresh and comfortable. The hotel itself was also surprisingly quiet despite being located in an urban area, so we slept really well. The only disappointment was our view. It wasn't much to look at. I was secretly hoping for an upgrade, but no luck. Not a deal breaker, just a minor letdown considering one side of the hotel affords perfect views of the Space Needle. The location is excellent for sightseeing on foot. We walked to Pike Place Market in about 10 minutes, and the Space Needle was also around a 10 minute walk in the opposite direction. Just be prepared for Seattle's hills! They're no joke, and you'll be going up and down some very, very steep streets to get to the waterfront. There are also plenty of great restaurants, bars, shops, and coffee shops within easy walking distance. One thing I'd mention is that while we felt comfortable during the day, after dinner around 10:45 p.m. we decided to take an Uber back from the Pike Place Market area instead of walking back to the hotel because parts of the area felt a little sketchy at night. Seattle has a very serious problem with drug users and unhoused folks, and they can get a little scary. I feel so badly for them, but I also felt a lot safer in an Uber than trying to walk back in the downtown area that late at night. The Sound is a stylish, comfortable hotel with excellent service, a great location, and a fun personality. If you're a Hilton Honors member, it's an especially solid choice when Seattle hotel prices are high.

The front desk had a room available for me a little earlier than normal check-in and had wonderful suggestions for a little snack around the hotel. The room is much more spacious than pictures can show. I really enjoyed the two separate seating areas. The window area settee was the perfect place for a snack and using my laptop to prepare for the next day. The closet has more than just two hangers, which I appreciated being able to hang the clothes that needed to be hung and steamed later. The bed was soft, but not overly so and the charging options on the nightstand helped me keep some of my electronics packed and neat. Being in Downtown Seattle, I really didn't feel like I needed a car. The Sound is situated in a great place to just walk where I needed to go. Less than five minutes away from Westlake where I could catch either the monorail or Link, was very convenient for me. I enjoy walking around to get familiar with the area I'm in and there was so much to see!!! I will be back to The Sound for my next Seattle adventure!

Our last two nights of our journey were spent in Seattle at the Shafer Baillie mansion. I would highly recommend staying here. The location was great for getting to downtown and all around. It is close to the Cap Hill neighborhood with shops and restaurants. There is plenty of street parking in the vicinity. The mansion itself is part of what was known as Millionaire's Row. It was built in 1914 and has been well cared for over the years. When we came back from one evening out, we all gathered in the Library and set up some charcuterie and wine to share from our travels. It was so cozy sitting all together and chatting about our adventures. The rooms are historic with modern conveniences. Our room was the Queen Ann Hill. We slept soundly in our comfortable 4 poster bed. There was a helpful step stool for me to climb up as I am vertically challenged. It has original pushbotton light switches. It had a beautiful full length mirror. There was a flatscreen TV, but we had so many wonderful activities we did not use it. The bathroom was updated but still fit with the historic look. There were two showerheads in the tiled shower. Breakfast was lovely. I, personally, have a great deal of food allergies. There was ample selection that I was able to enjoy just as much as anyone else. There were breads and pastries, jams and spreads, yogurt and fresh berries, and a hot breakfast dish. Hard boiled eggs were available as well as cheeses and meats. There was a coffee bar that was available all day that also had tea and cocoa. We sat at the long dining table enjoying each others company and conversation. We got to meet some of the other guests which added to the experience. If we find ourselves back in Seattle, this is where I will want to stay.

The greeters always opened the door for me, the check-in desk staff were courteous and always had a smile, and the checkout process was also quick and ended with an invitation to return to the property the next time I'm in Seattle. As soon as I stepped out of my Uber upon initial arrival, a staff member walked up to open my door and asked if I needed help with my bags. My room was comfortable in every aspect. The temperature controls worked great, the bed was very comfortable and had an adequate number of pillows, the bathroom was well-appointed, and everything was very clean. The bath towels were large, soft, and plush. The frosted door to the water closet was a nice touch for the sake of privacy if you were sharing the space with someone. The shower was not huge but it was more than adequately spacious for me. There were 2 robes hung in the bathroom (though I didn't use them). The small table and chairs near the window were convenient and comfortable to work from. The view from my room was very nice, especially during clear days when you can see the water and the mountains in the distance. The room was always well maintained after the typical morning cleaning as well as during turn down service. I appreciated the staff placing slippers by the bed and how they always nicely arranged my toiletries in the bathroom, replaced used towels with fresh ones, and even placed things on the table in the bedroom (like my charger, earbud case, eyeglass case, and so on) neatly for when I returned. The bar area at the back of the restaurant was a nice little area and had a table large enough for our group of around 8-10 to comfortably sit at while enjoying a nightcap. My breakfast the day I checked out was also high quality and my server Nathan was pleasant, timely, and honest about prep time of some items I wanted to order but was constricted due to a time crunch. In general, every staff member I encountered was pleasant, eager to help, and always smiled and made eye contact when speaking with me. All in all, I had a wonderful experience and have no complaints. This property is one of the top 2-3 Four Seasons hotels I have stayed at over the past several years. I would wholeheartedly stay here again!
