Gayot "Boasting 'as much personality as Seattle itself,' Hotel FIVE Seattle is a stylish, urban hotel located downtown near Emerald City hot spots."
Afar Magazine "On the former site of a nondescript Ramada Inn, Hotel Five opened in 2011 as a friendly, cheap-chic property that’s lighter on the wallet than nearby downtown options." Full review
Not For Tourists "Ultra-modern hotel with reportedly thin walls."
Frommer's "A former Ramada Inn with completely reimagined decor, Hotel Five is a (usually) reasonably priced and conveniently located choice." Full review
Lonely Planet Top Choice
