We loved this hotel! So much history and charm. It was conveniently located and the room had a beautiful view and was big and perfectly appointed for us. The only downside was the noise from outside woke us up. I would suggest having earplugs handy in case. But we would absolutely stay there again. We really loved it.

Old world charm, great location, noisy pipes

Lobby is old world charming. Historic rooms are kinda...meh. The charm is there, but not super elevated. Carpet is kinda...I dunno, old? The water hammer in the old pipes is deafening when you're trying to sleep. But great location! Staff is excellent! Food and drink in the restaurant is awesome! They provide ear plugs for the noisy pipes.

We stayed in the Columbia Suite (room 107) and it was like having our own apartment. Beautifully furnished, with semi mid-century modern decor. Everyone from the front desk to the bar made sure we were well taken care of and had everything we needed. We’ll definitely be back.

Wonderful!

I had a great stay at Hotel Leo. The staff was welcoming and everything was pleasant from check in to check out. I loved the warm pastries in the morning and cookies in the afternoon. The location is charming with lots of good restaurants and take-out places. I would love to stay again sometime.

Wow, what an amazing experience. You will step back in to the historic Bellingham upon entering The Hotel Leo. The front desk will welcome you with warm cookies/dessert, snacks and a beverage station. If you are looking for modern and quiet, this is not your hotel. This hotel holds many secrets of the past ... you will find yourself caught up in the magical whirlwind of the past. We spent our evening at the Chuckanut Brewery, RumRoom and Bellingham Bar and Grill, all great! Support your local business.... can't wait for our next visit in a few weeks! Support your business, I hope you enjoy the beauty of Bellingham as much as we did!

The room we got was very old and not updated. It has radiator heaters that were banging and popping loudly every hour. It’s hard to sleep in that room with all of that noise.
