Nice room and excellent location but the noise and sense of unease and unsafety that you read about in other reviews is 100% there. I wouldn't stay again.

The images are pretty deceiving. We stayed in a room with a full bed for almost $300 - it was the smallest room I've ever stayed in. The room needs some major updates, and it was SO dang hot. The location was nice - I was traveling to work and could easily grab a nightcap since it was downtown Ballard. I would have felt better paying $125 for this room. Staff was super nice!

Caveat emptor - know what you're getting into. This is a European style, youth hostel type set up with only a few rooms having ensuite bathrooms (they provide bathrobes.) Those that do are supposedly very tiny - closet-like with doors that barely open. We stayed in room 208 for five nights and it was towards the back of the hotel and just across from the toilets and showers. No elevator so be aware you'll have to lug your stuff down a long hallway and up a bunch of stairs. Yes, it was loud at times but you're on Ballard Avenue so that's to be expected. No desk staff but rooms were cleaned thoroughly every day. Free access to the Olympic health club across the street is a bonus.

The parking can be difficult to navigate if you are not familiar with the area. I was not aware that I had to register at one location and stay in another, so that was a bit overwhelming. Also, not having a bathroom in the room was a bit frustrating. However, the property itself was great, and the staff was extremely helpful!

I love the people who work for the Ballard Inn, and the area is perfect to visit Seattle. The gym accompanying the Ballrd Inn is the best part.

The room was fine, bed comfortable. It was extremely difficult to find a temporary parking place to check in, so as to be able to access the parking garage.

As long as you are ok with the shared bath situation, this little sister of Hotel Ballard is a great deal. Ideally located, very comfortable beds, and way quieter than we expected given the busy and vibrant neighborhood. Staff was great as well.

Everything was actually nice EXCEPT we didn’t pay close enough attention (neither did the other couple on our floor) because there is no bathroom. There is a shared bathroom in the hallway.

Our room and stay received an excellent rating because we reserved a room with a bathroom. We could not imagine having a shared bath and toilet.
