We lived the comfortable bed and luxurious bed linens as well as the small but functional bathroom. The coffee shop just outside the front door has great coffee and Ye College Pub was fun with good drink choices.

Not your typical hotel

Unexpected that it was a hotel with shared bathrooms, didn't realize this was the case when I booked. Excellent location, right at the end of the U of W campus. Pub, restaurants, and coffee below the hotel. Uses a pin to get into the front door and your room (rather than card keys). Microwave and fridge available in the common space. Relatively low cost. No frills, great for a singlr traveler with twin bed options. Not your typical hotel, there are a few trade offs that, in my opinion, are well worth it for a business trip.

It was an antique hotel built in 1909. The bedroom was nice and clean, but it did not have a bathroom inside the bedroom. There was a shared bathroom at the other end of the hallway, which made it very uncomfortable. It didn’t have an elevator either and it was very difficult to get the luggage to the 3rd floor. There was no air conditioning either. In other words, I wish it was more clearly specified when I made the reservation because I would never had booked something so inconvenient.

I stayed on Apr 13-15, 2025 got room 214 as soon as get into room I can smell like in the kitchen of restaurant down stair in the room and bother me every time. Bed was nice and comfy, because of hotel (building) was old you can hear everything from neighbors, wood cranking when you walked or open-close door room. Other than that I felt safe every rooms has code to unlock the door and even shared bathroom. If you want to sleep in after 8 you will not get to sleep you can hear trash truck behind hotel. No parking guests need to park on street (pay) which is not bad for the price.

This hotel’s proximity to UW is fantastic. For anyone wanting to see the cherry blossoms or if you have a student attending UW, it’s a great location. Yes they are truly a European style hotel, with some rooms with shared baths, but our room with a full bath was very, very comfortable. The keyless entry for both the front door and room door worked perfectly. Staff was very accommodating and kind. We enjoyed Agua Verde for dinner, and Saint Bread for breakfast - all within a short walk from the hotel. I’ll be returning!
