This weekend was the 2nd time I have stayed at the Pensione. The rooms are clean and comfortable and the bathrooms always available when I have needed them. Lindsays' French press coffee is the best I have ever had. And she is sweet and friendly and very accomodating. I loved that my dog was welcome and pampered with attention and... More

I've stayed at the Pensione Nichols on and off for years - I even rented the entire place for my wedding nearly 20 years ago. (the marriage was a flop, but people are still talking about the wedding itself!) I love the warm, European, lived-in feel to the Pensione - if I wanted to stay at a bland, generic hotel,... More

We enjoyed a very relaxing staycation at this cosy little place, which was highly recommended to us by out-of town friends who crashed there for the night. Welcoming, accommodating staff and Theo the dog too. Our beds were clean and comfy with nice big pillows. No issues with the shared bath but I will remember to bring some bubble bath... More

Most travelers agree that the Pike Place Market is the heart and soul of Seattle. Pensione Nichols then is the perfect lodging complement to Pike Place – delightfully quirky, full of unexpected charms, a celebration of the best Seattle has to offer. The view from the main living/dining area and from the apartments has to be one of the best... More

We are staying at the Pensione Nichols in Seattle Washington for the first time. We have found it to be a most pleasant experience here. The best location, right up the street from the pike place market and shopping. Great breakfasts and the owner, Lindsay, is here most days with her dog Theo to greet clients and answer any questions,... More

The owner of this place is legitimately unstable, and not fit for service or hospitality. She was very rude on the phone, and when we arrived to check in, at 3:05pm, the room was still being cleaned. I called her to see if another room was available as there was no one at the front desk. She informed me that... More

Wow...this place is awful, a disappointment beyond belief. Do NOT stay in apt #12! Stained carpets, patched walls with mismatched paint, filthy kitchen, and totally misrepresented pictures. Light bulbs missing, worn out velvet furniture from the 60s? Think twice before staying here...

It is an absolute treat to stay at the Pensione Nichols! Prime location, steps away from Pike Street Market and the waterfront. The main room has one of the most incredible views in Seattle and is so cozy to enjoy sipping on coffee in the morning. I would highly recommend for it's ambiance and amenities❤

I wanted to review the B&B, Pensione Nichols to tell other travelers of our wonderful experience over my five night stay there. I woke up to a delicious continental breakfast with fresh fruit served every morning in a spacious living-room with a sweeping panorama of the breathtaking Seattle Sound. This living-room is astounding! I couldn't dream up a more wonderful... More

Great location for a downtown Seattle experience -- right smack in the middle of great shopping and some of our favorite restaurants and pubs. Felt right at home as soon as we met Lindsey, the concierge -- was like coming to see an old friend. Room was delightful overlooking the street and reminiscent of being at my grandparents as a...
