Hotel Crocodile & Crocodile Music Venue

Luckily booked this trip while a concert and a lobby session was going on, which definitely made the experience even better! Even without that, the stay was lovely, and my partner and I couldn't stop having candy and making tea haha. We were able to walk everywhere for this trip because of the great location, and coming back was still an enjoyment of its own. Hotel Crocodile was a highlight of our overall Seattle trip!

Great unique place

Also, there's no elevator so be prepared to go up 2 flights of stairs to the rooms.

The room was clean and comfortable, can hear the music, however after a long flight I fell asleep easily.

Very comfortable, modern and unique decor. Well maintained. The 34 stairs from the entrance up to the rooms was very difficult when hauling luggage.

Clean room helpful staff, air conditioning and location made this a great stay!

.

I loved staying at the crocodile.

Customer service worker Thomas was polite, helpful and considerate. Would absolutely stay again.

This is a neat venue with rooms decorated with music artist decor. The rooms are nice, but remember you have to bring your luggage to the 2nd floor with no elevator. Surprisingly, it was quiet in our room even when the music was playing.

Good place if you like live music

This IS the Seattle experience if you are into music.

Great stay! So convenient to the concert hall. Easy check in, nice staff.

Clean and easy check in and out

Lovely room. Great shower. Quirky hotel. Needs drinking glasses in room. Didn’t see staff. And no music so a very peaceful night.

We hated the pillows, water pressure sucked in the shower and it was noisier than any place we have EVER stayed.

Great space with tons of character while still feeling modern and very clean. I love the ac/heat mini split, the couches, the gator statues and the free candy! I’d request the complimentary coffee be out before 9am, but noon checkout and coffee every 10 steps (Seattle!) more than compensate. I cannot wait to return to watch another concert of a lifetime (Moonchild changed me! Love love love!) and a comfortable night upstairs to rest and have a nice lazy morning after. Wish I could give it 11 stars ⭐️!

This is a great place to stay. A musician/music lovers perfect location. Right in the heart of Seattle. You can easily walk to all the well known sites. The location was super communicative. We came in a 1am and had absolutely no issues locating and getting into our room. Room was clean and super unique.

So clean and fun! Next to everything, we loved it ❤️

Everything was clean, lovely and perfect for our stay. There were alot of close shops and Pike market was a short walk away

Bed and pillows were unfortunately very uncomfortable. Fantastic room if you want to party anywhere in the Pioneer square area. Not possible to sleep early due to shows downstairs but I found the crowd noise to be a plus, not a negative.

Great location and venue. See a concert and then head upstairs to crash.

I’m gonna start with a word to the wise- this hotel has no lobby and no elevator, so you’re ready to lug your bags up a flight of marble stairs. All check in check out etc happens via text and I’m pretty sure I was the only person in the building all week.beyond having to lug my wheeled luggage up and down a flight of stairs and once I got over that I actually loved my stay: snacks in the EMPTY unsupervised lobby, the run of the place to myself, it felt almost post apocalyptic 😂 decor is nice and surprisingly it was very quiet.

Communication is great & we would be willing to stay here again!

Ps we were not bothered by the misc from downstairs but some might be completely turned off by it.

My partner and I love staying here when an artist we listen to us playing at The Crocodile. Nice, spacious and clean rooms that are well designed. Check in is easy and while we didn’t see anyone staffing anything, it looked like things were taken care and we had access to everything we could need! We will be back!

Location was good for visiting the city. We expected the noise from the show, so that was fine. However, the shower was not functional, and the tub stopper would not work either.

Super chill, comfortable, and fun. Located near lots of great food and best spot to stay if you are at the venue for a show.

I love this place! So cool,nice to just walk upstairs after the show, fun decor, it has it all! You can hear the music in your room, but i adore that. I've lived here for a long time and this was my first time to stay, but it won't be my last. Love you Crocodile 🐊

Room was beautifully decorated with modern amenities. The coffee from 9-1pm in the lobby (as well as the microwave) were life savers on late nights and early mornings. Staff was very pleasant and friendly! I stayed for 6 days and felt like I was at home. Nice partial view of the sound as well. I would absolutely stay again. Very pleased with this hidden gem!

Nice

Friendly Staff.

Great Room. Friendly staff. Loved it.

Crocodile hotel was a horrible, horrible experience. The room they rented me did not sit above a concert venue. It was located 10 feet behind loudspeakers which they blasted at full volume. I put earbuds on and could still hear their horrible music. Everything in the room shook from the bass. Mind you, there were no concerts advertised for their venur over the dates of my stay. I texted, asked for another room. Never heard back. These people are insane. Hotels.com should remove this property from their listings. I had to book another hotel somewhere and crocodile had the audacity to tell me they did nothing wrong.

Nice room, very hands off but easy check in

No staff seen but plenty of supplies available, room was very clran. Nice sheets and towels. A unique placeand was easy, fun

I loved the vibe of the hotel, the candy in the lobby, the private VIP concert. The room itself was perfect, the heated floors in the bathroom, rainhead shower and sitting area was perfect.

My second time staying here. Rooms are very nice! Very comfortable and spacious. Very nicely decorated and every room varies in decor. Bathroom and shower is larger than most hotels and has heated tile floor. Love all the art and decorating of the hotel. The free candy and coffee is a nice treat. The classic music area with lounge is very relaxing. The hotel and the venue downstairs is some of the cleanest I have ever seen. Love the self check in/out system. Great hotel to stay at if you’re there for a show downstairs. Keep in mind you can hear music downstairs till 1am, but if your there for a show that shouldn’t bother anyone staying here

Very nice spacious room - luxe furnishings and well equipped. No show when we there - very quiet. Lobby was a cool place to have a drink and relax. Heavy suitcases and stairs was only downside but we knew that.

Very unique and nice. Lots of good food within walking distance and overall a very good stay

Awesome hotel and very clean !

Killer vibe; no pressure. Wish I stayed all three nights there.

great place to stay for a show at the crocodile

easy check in nice staff free candt

Be prepared for a room that vibrates but it was an easy fun experience.

Unique room in a great location. Plenty of food options and worked perfectly if you have a concert at the Crocodile.

If you are going to the Crocodile to see a band, yes stay here but for a vacation it's not ideal. There aren't many places to get coffee/breakfast in morning. Lots of bars around but all the restaurants were closed in the morning. Walked around a bit, some sketchy people outside. The hotel itself was clean and room was spacious. Didn't really see any staff working there?! A ton of stairs to get up to the room - not fun with luggage. It's not a bad place but just wasn't for me. I booked it because I spent a lot of time at the original Crocodile back in the day and thought it would be fun or nostalgic it's not even the same building or location. Anyway some reviewers really loved it so it's not the worst place!

Trendy and unique! Would definitely stay again.

Super cool place to stay! We loved the theme and the lounge area in the hotel. We will definitely be staying again.

Nice room, comfy bed. Literally right next door to the venue, however, I wasn't expecting the noise level in the hotel room itself. There are a couple venues down stairs, but there is also a lobby area, just down the hall that had a live band playing. Maybe I missed this information when booking, but it was LOUD. Noise died down around 1am from the venues, but noise continued with room 12 having a party - I'm guessing this is where the artists hung out after the band was done playing? Overall, it was fine, we weren't going to bed early anyways, but if you're thinking you will get to bed early, find another place to stay. Loved that it was literally next door to where our venue was. Close to bars/food and a little market. Yes, I'd stay again if going to an event in the area.

We really enjoyed our stay here after the show at The Crocodile. It has a different vibe about it that is comfortable, there is drip coffee served in the morning and into noon, which is much welcomed. If you have concerns about noise from the downstairs, they have ear plugs both in rooms and in the common area.

Neighborhood: Super cool and artsy with an amazing bakery across the street for morning coffee. I came for a marketing conference and all the scheduled events were easy to walk to. Room: It was large and very clean — and the bed was comfortable. The only complaint is that the comforter was too light. I folded it in half so I had a double layer Service: You let yourself in via a door code which also works for your room. So you really don’t see any employees but can call or ring a bell if you need them. It is definitely NOT a luxurious hotel but it’s a unique, clean spot in a cool part of Seattle.

Everything was as detailed. Mostly absentee but nothing was needed beyond what was provided. Rooms are large and comfortable. I actually enjoyed the ease of access. It was in a very walkable area. We walk comfortably to Pike's, Waterfront and the Space Needle, cruise port was walkable with luggage(3 blocks away)

Other than the sink draining kinda slow, and the HVAC controls confounding this decidedly non-luddite, those are the ONLY notes i have for the fine folks at the Crocodile. A superb place to stay by any stretch of the imagination, we absolutely loved the free coffee in the morning and the superb staff ( looking at you Thomas!) and would gladly book another stay and suggest that you do as well. You will not regret it.

We arrived and nice young lady came to store our luggage since we were early. I explained that my sister in law had twisted her ankle that was swollen on the cruise we just got off if she could please let her ride the elevator with her and the luggage and we would take the stairs and she said no with no empathy of the situation at all. Did not even try to help us with her situation and she had do go through 2 flights of painful stairs multiple times. The bed and pillows are comfortable and the rooms are as listed. No safe. No one ever in the lobby. Texted to see if someone could put my brothers luggage in elevator for early check out. No one ever responded. They are only available after 9 am. Rock music is pretty loud until 11 but we were aware of that when we booked. Only plus for us was that it was close to cruise ship but would not be our choice again.

Amazing property especially if you’re coming for a performance downstairs.

Too noisy

I'll stay here again.

Wonderful hotel, especially if you’re attending a show at the Crocodile. Check in process was convenient and the rooms were wonderful. Noise wasn’t an issue at all for us. We’ll be back for sure!

Downtown, walking distance to the space needle and many other options including parking. Great room! S stylish and cleaned impeccably. Excellent vibe, so chill, funky and unique. Amenities are just right..comfy bed. Felt very safe!

We had a fun stay here. The room was clean, and we really appreciated the tub, especially since we were walking a lot on our trip. We had a good view of the water from our room, and the bed was comfortable, although the pillows lacked structure. The staff were very friendly and we were able to store our bags before check-in and have them in our room once it was ready. They texted us when our room was ready, and it happened to be ready before 4, which we appreciated. Also very close to lots of sightseeing items in Seattle, which made our trip very walkable. The AC/Heater also worked very well for our needs. Overall, fun stay, but it was very pricey considering the lack of amenities. I would definitely recommend it if you are going to see an event at the Crocodile or Madame Lou’s, but outside of that, I don’t know if it’s worth it.

Awesome for price and location.

Literally so cool

Great room, easy access to the port for our cruise.

I absolutely loved this hotel! It's so homey, it feels more like an apartment. The shared lobby space is cozy & warm & there is free candy in bowls all over the place! You can pick out a record or cassette, grab a drink @ the bar & relax. The rooms are above a live music venue & they give ear plugs in your room, but honestly - I found the music sort of soothing. The bands were done by 12:30am every night. The Here-After is my new favorite Seattle bar, with a comedy stage / movie theater with nightly acts. The hotel in the perfect area, within walking distance to Pike Place & the Space Needle - and right across the street from the Cyclops, which is a close 2nd favorite bar. There is not a front desk, but there was staff there every day, as well as a room you can go into for extra towels/sheets/toiletries/anything you need to replenish. The rooms are very cleaned, have heated bathroom floors & apart from the music downstairs, very quiet. There are great views if you're on the Elliott Bay side of the building. You will have to pay for parking somewhere, or be available to move your vehicle after the free street parking hours are up. Overall, this was an excellent stay!

We didn't realize there wasn't an elevator...you have to haul your luggage up quite a few stairs before you can get to the lobby. We struggled with our large suitcases- but they offered to help lift.

It was a really nice property! The hotel felt very safe and even with a live music venue right underneath it was not too loud at all. With the tv on you didn’t even know they were there, and it was done by like 10:30. They had coffee, tea, water, ice, and even free candy. It was a very nice stay and we would absolutely stay here again

Interesting decor, original mural artwork, far out music and ear plugs in a bowl for resting guests.. pretty cool

Love this hotel, our 2nd time staying here. Really great property for the money. Staff is super helpful and friendly. Love the location!

Swanky, clean, and a great location. Very kindly held my bags at the desk, would recommend for anyone who likes a unique place to stay with a lot of character

At first I didn’t agree with the entrance and the long and high ladder to walk to second floor but the staff help carry my heavy luggage up and down and offer great coffee, the lobby is a nice social area I meet a few great guest and staff alway friendly even just stay one night I start to like this hotel.

Located in a great area. Short nice walk to Pikes Place, the water or downtown. Great restaurants and shops all along the street.

Such a cool place to stay. Staff is awesome. Rooms are bigger than you think. They warned us that it would be loud but could hardly hear anything. So much fun.

Great property

Cool little spot, will be back again

Really cool spot but the one drawback was they held a club-night after the concert in the venue below, and it's not really clear in all their material that noise could continue until 1:30am, which it did (though stopped promptly at that time as promised). That was a bit rough, but I would stay again if I was more aware of this item for the specific nights I was staying. It's a great hotel with that one major caveat.

The only problem we had was to go up two flight of stairs with our suitcases. We’re in our 70’s.

Had a great stay before our cruise. Highly recommend! No noise from the clubs below during our visit. Everything we needed!

I'm really not sure how to rate my experience at the Hotel Crocodile. For sure, almost everything about the stay---from room cleanliness to the downtown location---was great and as-advertised. My problem, though, is that the music was unbearably loud on Friday night. I really don't think anyone, headphones or not, could sleep through that, and it went until 2am. Granted, that was only one out of three of our nights, but I think such a massive intrusion on what's ultimately the core function of a hotel---to sleep---should have been better advertised or at least reflected in the reviews. In reality, my experience was really a 1 star, but I want to give some credit where it's due in that they did say it would be "loud," but I think that description greatly undersells the situation. Our room, which was directly above the venue (to my knowledge, they all are) was literally shaking from the bass; the free earplugs honestly didn't even make a dent in the noise. Other than that ... the hotel is great, so if you're comfortable staying out past 2am on the loud nights, then this is a really nice option. If not, I would recommend finding another place to stay.

Had a fantastic stay at the Crocodile while in town to see a concert at Climate Pledge, it was walkable. Lots of nearby food options and a Belltown bodega across the street. I got dinner from Al Basha which I highly recommend it was great. The hotel lobby is a vibe with a cool armosphere, I loved it. My only regret was I didnt have time to spin Dirt on the record player before I had to go. Yes they have records you can play! The room was extremely clean, luxurious shower and toiletries. Comfortable bed. My night was very quiet because the concert cancelled. They provided earplugs, have a nice sheet on local area options for dining and entertainment. Many bars nearby. I really liked they had a community area where you could help yourself to cold filtered water cooler, extra towels or ammenities you may have forgotten and ice. The lobby had self serve coffee and tea. Great AC! And ceiling fan, cool light fixtures, above average bedding and towels. It felt very Seattle to me. Very nice accommodations overall, just be aware there are two very long steep flights of steps up to the hotel, some cruise ship folks had a hard time lugging their suitcases up the stairs. It felt safe with a coded lockbox for entry and to my room. I liked looking out at the streets of Belltown. Be aware Seattle has steep streets to walk up from the piers! I will stay here again and I would recommend to stay here. Great experience overall I loved it.

No clock in room, i know I have a cell phone with one. The cieling fan was in reverse for a winter setting to move cieling heat down unable to reverse it for summer setting. Minor recommendations. Clean hotel with large updated rooms. Location close to everything.

This hotel has a really cool retro vibe. They also have contactless check in but you can speak with someone when needed. There is also a music venue downstairs. Unfortunately when we stayed there were no shows scheduled. Maybe next time!

Fantastic! Beautiful venue and very attentive staff

I was aware this property is a live music venue and there could be noise into the night. I’ve no gripes about this but just wanted to reiterate that it could keep people awake into the early hours of the morning. I was also aware there is no lift and needed to lug bags up 2 flights of stairs. I was not aware there is no reception. So there’s no one you can talk to if there are any issues. You can ring a phone for assistance but being an international traveler, I didn’t have local phone telephony, just data, so the phone number for assistance was useless. The room seemed reasonable and clean and had no issues till I woke the next day and had bites all over my lower legs. Bed bugs I have to assume 😦. I wouldn’t stay there again.

Staff very nice. Unique decor, to enter must use a code. No elevator so must carry luggage up. Above their entertainment venue. I was there on a Monday night so it was fine. I imagine on event nights there would not only be event noise but also traffic noise

The room was large and bed was comfortable. The music rattled the walls and floors. The coffee was not brought out until 9:15. Someone did help us with the keypad to get in to the room, not very user friendly. They should post on the website to expect loud music, we did not find this out until 2 days before in an email.

If you are a light sleeper who does not enjoy music , it might not be the place for you, but we had no trouble sleeping. There are plenty of food places within walking distance. We stayed the night before our cruise. We were blocks away from the pier. So we were able to walk to the dock in the morning. I would recommend this hotel especially if you are looking for something a little different then a chain.

The room was spacious and very unique. Comfortable bed and clean, and modern, bathroom. The lobby and hallway were very quiet. The only off-putting thing was check in. I asked days before for an early check in as I had a work meeting at 4 pm. I didn't push it, but arrived around 3:50 pm - wanted to pop into the room to put my items and freshen up for a moment after 3+ hours driving from Portland - and the system wouldn't let me enter. There was also another hotel patron waiting. When I called the hotel phone, they could let us into the building with a temp code, but we wouldn't be able to access our rooms until exactly 4 pm. This type of inflexibility is very off-putting. I would have made my work engagement on time, as it was a 4 minute walk, but because they wouldn't let me into my room, I ended up being late.

It was clean and nice place to stay for the night.

It was extremely loud, since there is a night club in the same building. Extremely annoying to have too carry heavy suitcases up two flights of stairs.

Very rad place in an extremely convenient area. Absolutely love the room and the facilities are eclectic and fun. Definitely recommend!

Beds were so comfortable!! Close to pier and Space Needle

It is very unique and the staff was phenominal!!!!

Wonderful stay!

We stayed at The Crocodile Hotel for a concert weekend in Seattle, and it hit all the right notes! 🎶 Just 10 minutes from the venue, it made concert night stress-free. Our room was adorable, full of character, and came with a killer view. Heated bathroom floors? Yes, please! And the lobby coffee was so good we went back for seconds. Can’t wait to make this our go-to spot for the next trip to town!

I reserved a stay at this hotel as I was in town to take a cruise to Alaska. The staff were great and very hospitable. My room was so cute, comfortable and quaint. I enjoyed my stay and will return! I like that it has charm and not like your everyday hotel. Having the club below the hotel is a bonus.

Huge, super clean room with a king bed!

I been to a lot of motel and this one is one of the best ones, if you don’t mind walking around then this place is the one, close to everything. I would recommend this place to anyone.

We LOVED staying at Hotel Crocodile! We didn’t notice any loud noises and the beds/pillows were so comfortable. The decor was so fun and it had much more character than any old hotel. I personally loved that they had an overdose kit with narcan. This is not something that my group needed, but seeing this made me feel like the staff really do care about their guests. They also held our bags for us since our flight was later in the day and our check out time was noon. They also had candy bowls everywhere! It was so fun to pick out a little treat as we walked past.

Staff was very pleasant. The room decor was eclectic and artistic. A really nice experience.

We were there only briefly but great stay!

Bugs in my room

Rooms are clean and staff are outstanding, they are very helpful and full of information. I would definitely recommend this place.

Rock and Roll vibe. This place is 3 chords and the truth. Stay here. Be somebody.

Great stay. Check in was easy. Room was comfortable and clean. Bed was very comfortable. A/c worked great. Location is very convenient to both Pike place and space needle. We were concerned about how loud the music would be, but we heard nothing and they also provide ear plugs if needed.

We really enjoyed our stay!

Will be back!!

Live music in the lounge which was great and conscientious of the guests with quiet hours starting at 11pm. Beware no elevator. You do need to climb two flights of stairs on own if you show up before check in.

The people were welcoming and the place was clean and had a lot of style and character.

The music was expected, loud but was fun to be so near to this artistic scene

Every thing was comfortable I liked it

Very nice rooms.

This place is amazing. The property is located central to the main attractions to a first timers in Seattle. The room is comfortable and has a couch living area. The shower was nice too.

Staff allowed us to check in early sonwe didnt have to carry our luggage. Very friendly staff.

Staff was absolutely fantastic. The bag help get them up and down was great. Every thing was clean and the decor was cool. Only thing they need to do was probably dust better. Fans and blinds are very dusty.

Full self service hotel. No amenities not even a glass to drink water in the room. Nobody around that works there, bar not open, basic. Comfortable bed.

Love this place!! All the rooms are decorated so nice. Really comfortable beds and pillows. Very walkable to restaurants & shops. It’s Only place I stay when I come to Seattle now.

Never mentioned the noise

Looks a bit weird, but totally worth it. Perfect location in Seattle to walk to the main tourist places.

Only problem for us was stairs no elevator we had four bags as we stayed before cruising and are seniors

We LOVED staying here. We were very fortunate that no shows were scheduled during our stay, so the place was quiet and comfortable. The staff was friendly but unobtrusive, and the lobby area was very nice. We helped ourselves to some candy and hot tea they had out for guests that made our stay so much more enjoyable

Fun, funky and easy walking to main attractions!

I loved the location of the Crocodile. It was close to everything we wanted to see. Even though their venue was below we were not really disturbed by it. I would like to see a regular front desk. I did have questions about some things and while they leave a contact number, I didn't have any pressing concerns to contact them. Overall, the experience was good and look forward to booking there again.

It was absolutely fabulous and the vibe in the Lobby is a Whole Ass Vibe. 10 outta 10 would recommend!!!

A wonderful stay for my husband and I. Fun and delicious restaurants walks away and all must see Seattle attractions are a 15 minute walk.

Nice view, fun creative stay. Nice clean and comfortable.

This is a very unique but clean and comfortable place. Although there is music below, it wasn't too noisy and it was quiet by the time we went to bed.

Will stay here a

Beautiful room. Very eclectic. Even had heated bathroom floors. Shower was huge and modern.

Love the location! Hate the parking situation! Expected at least some guest parking but there was none.

Such a groovy, eclectic hotel! So happy I stayed here!

Comfortable

After checking in and enjoying our night in town, we were locked out of our own room while attempting to return. The pin pad had a broken button and was not accepting the last digit of our code. We called for assistance and could barely hear the person on the other end of the line. It took 20mins to receive a hard key and get into our room. After gaining entry, the door no longer wanted to lock from the inside. A chair needed to be slid in front of the door overnight.

This hotel was very trendy. It was very convenient while there for a concert. Very close to pikes market.

Lovely accommodations!

Memorable unique experience with nice rooms and the lobby on the 2nd floor has a cool hang out green room feel and the venue and bar is just downstairs.

Clean and nicely updated

Here for a concert. Was a nice room and not too loud even tho so close to the music

it was the funkiest little room and lobby, absolutely loved it. saw ls dunes here and waited in line all day so it’s perfect for ppl who like to “camp” the line and have easy access to their concert necessities

I liked it was next to the concert venue for convenience. The room was small, there was no staff on duty, no vending machines, and bathroom sink was broken. I think the cost is to high.

Excellent location with lots to do within walking distance. Room was spacious and decorative. Would stay here again.

Very nice and unique walkable safe very easy to navigate

Gorgeous hotel in a great area of Seattle!

Had a lot of fun !

Loved staying at Hotel Crocodile! Great vibes and convenient location!

Liked quiet spaces and large room

Loved the check-in process, so easy and convenient. Great communication with the GM, very responsive via email. Loved the unique decor throughout the hotel and the room. Clean, products stocked. Overall amazing experience to see a show and stay just upstairs!

Very unexpected!! What a great place! Close to the port and other shopping and dining! We really enjoyed the decor!!

Tickets to see an artist at the crocodile, was awesome to just be able to just go right upstairs! Only draw back was there was a dj set from 10-2am that was literally shaking the glass coffee table in the room. lol it was not something you could just ignore. I knew there could be music from the venue, totally fine but wasnt really able to sleep. Make sure there is not a late night dj set and it’s all good.

Everything was great but parking was a hassle

Great place but we had no idea there is a night club underneath. Very very loud until very late. Great hotel itself and location. Amazing themes great vibe, but the club underneath until 2am or later is terrible for sleeping

People screaming at the sky. Walking around spitting on people. Just not a good area of town.

Always a convenient and amazing place to stay while seeing a show down below the hotel.

clean and neat
