The reason I booked the Hotel Sorrento was because it made a lasting impression on me from the first and only time I visited. The lobby and fireplace are one of a kind. The location is great. A BIG bonus was the large patio with tables and umbrellas for outdoor dining. When the weather cooperates, you can't beat Seattle. Our room had plenty of old world touches and luxury and overlooked the patio below.

I understand that the layout of the old building makes fashioning modern spaces difficult. However, I booked a suite and it was all room but the bathroom was painfully difficult to maneuver. The toilet was sandwiched in a telephone booth sized space and there was no outdoor air access to the bathroom as a whole. Meanwhile, the room was so long and burdened with dead space in the middle, that it felt cold. Another oversight was the artwork intended above the desk was missing with empty hooks in its place. I paid a premium to feel pampered. This particular version of the Ravello Studio Suite wasn't what I hoped from the pictures I saw online.

The room was incredibly spacious - much larger than I expected! Also, I LOVE when hotels separate the shower/toilet from the sink so that my partner can use the bathroom/shower in peace while I wash up/do my makeup. There is a beautiful outdoor patio area - we had brunch there, and the food/service was great. The hotel itself is a beautiful historic building with lots of character. Great location - we walked and used the plentiful Lime scooters to get around everywhere. Only needed to use Uber to get to/from King Street Station with our luggage.

The room description said it was a queen bed, but I could have sworn it was a double - it felt on the small side, but I am probably wrong. Regardless, for the price we paid, a King Bed would have made our sleep significantly better. We were there during a heatwave and while the AC (in living area) was functioning, the bedroom area didn't get a ton of air flow, so it was rather hot.

The staff were all extremely nice!!! Especially Jess and Richard at the front desk, very helpful. The room was clean and comfortable, and the location was far enough away from the downtown area to be really quiet at all times.

The bar connected to the hotel had a bit of a strange vibe, almost as if one of the bartenders was being bullied by the staff. Also if you are over 6 feet tall, the queen bed might be a bit too small.

I liked everything about this hotel. The facility is an old, stately hotel. The staff was amazing. The location was perfect for my needs.

The first two nights, I was in a room that faced out on construction work on the front of the hotel. Mmy room window faced, and was covered by scaffolding and shade netting! 😮 My price for the room was not decreased because of this, nor was I warned about it when making a reservation. I was very disappointed. I had to extend my reservation another day as my husband was being kept another day in the hospital. The third night there I was put in another room, on the same floor. What a difference! If only I had had a choice with the first reservation. 😞

This is a beautiful, old world style hotel with a lot of warmth and wood detail. The lobby bar with fireplace was perfect. The staff was helpful and professional. My room, which was a suite, was large, light, and comfortable.

Like most hotels since COVID, this one is starting to look a little down in the mouth. Nothing drastic, just some things need painting or fix-up. The restaurant was good, but the menu could have been just a bit more expansive.

I’m not a breakfast person, but I loved how I could Pop over to see my husband at the hospital. Go for a walk, stop at the grocery store down the street or even Starbucks. Most of all how safe I felt in my room.

Our hot water in bathroom was a trickle at full volume. We thought that’s just the way it must be since the room had to be cleaned before we stayed in it. Surely housekeeping would have said something. After 2 days I said something to front desk and it was fixed. That was my only complaint.

Beautiful hotel and piece of Seattle history.

First Hill is a tough neighborhood for parking. Valet was full as well as the public lot across the street. We’d recommend arriving late afternoon, or right after check out if you have a car and park it for 24 hrs in the lot.. Then, explore the city without it. There are easy buses, Ubers, and light rail downtown

The staff was super friendly. We got in from our cruise very early and had a very late night flight out the next day. They help our luggage without issue and were very accommodating. The room was beautiful and hotel was rich with history. If you don't mind the incline, the hotel was about a mile to the waterfront with bodes tons of shopping and restaurants, but just know you have go back up the hills on the way back.

The bed was a little soft and low for my taste but otherwise nothing.

My room was absolutely AMAZING. The entire hotel was absolutely beautiful and historic but cozy and comfortable. The bed was THE BEST!!! SOFTEST, FLUFFIEST BED EVER!!!

Honestly, there was nothing I did not like and I truly wish I could've spent longer at the hotel. I do with the kitchen had been open a bit later the day I arrived. I misread the hours and missed being able to grab some dinner that night. But I did get a great drink at the bar!

Staff was amazing. They were friendly and helpful. My son and his friend went to a concert nearby and they were sure to ask about it the next morning. It gave us a good feeling all around.

The price for parking was a bit high but after looking around, I am realizing that is just how expensive parking is in the area.
