Bowline Hotel

Here's a refined version of your review with a smoother flow and a bit more polish: --- We've stayed at the Bowline twice now, and each visit has been an absolute pleasure. We always opt for the riverfront rooms—it's hard to imagine the trolley-view rooms being worth the price when you can wake up to stunning waterfront views instead. In our opinion, this is the best hotel in town, thanks to its unbeatable walkability—you're just minutes from all the shops and restaurants in downtown Astoria. The rooms feel spacious, with tall ceilings that add to the airy ambiance. Each room comes equipped with a mini fridge (including a generously sized freezer) and a coffee bar—though we wish they'd provide more coffee to last the full length of our stay. A microwave is conveniently located next to the ice machine near the lobby, which we loved using to reheat our Fort George pizza slices. One of the standout features of the stay is the in-room soaking tub. Unlike the other hotel in town that offers soaking tubs, Bowline's placement allows for easy TV viewing from the tub—perfect for a relaxing evening. There are also two barrel saunas right on the river for another way to unwind. The bar serves excellent cocktails, though the prices are definitely on the higher side. If you're visiting, be sure to bring binoculars to watch the passing ships. We love checking the schedule on the bar pilots' website and identifying the vessels as they go. The entire experience is peaceful and rejuvenating—we can't wait for our next stay!

I wish the parking was better, but I understand why it’s not. The hotel rooms are beautiful decorated. A lot of things I. Your room are locally sourced even the coffee cups. So cool. The bath salts are amazing! The sauna was awesome. We even saw seals from our room. The staff is so friendly and helpful. It was relaxing and just what we needed after being in Seattle. I truly can’t say enough positive things about this hotel.

We had an incredible stay at the Bowline Hotel in Astoria! We ALWAYS travel with our dogs and were shocked at how pet friendly this hotel was. We got an amazing room in the Ice House. Most hotels give you the worst rooms when you bring your dogs. The view was breathtaking, the room was SUPER clean and the staff was very friendly. Another bonus was this hotel had valet parking, so no need to hunt for a lot or spot on the street. Checkout wasn't until noon! Which doesn't seem like a big deal, but we were able to walk to the Sunday market and relax with the view and not have to rush to pack up and check out. It was right in the middle of everything in town as well. We were able to walk to everything! After reading the reviews we were worried about sleeping with the Sea Lions, but the ear plugs provided and fan (which we sleep with at home anyway) we brought worked great. Even our dogs got used to hearing the Sea Lions. We will absolutely stay here again when we travel to Astoria!

I have stayed here twice--solo for two nights in July 2023 and with my husband for three nights in June 2025. Both stays were fantastic. The location is right on the river, and both times I selected the river view room. This made leaving the windows open overnight a perfect way to get fresh air off the Columbia. The staff are friendly and helpful in assisting. Plus, the valet was reasonably priced and effective (plus it came with free electric charging for our rental car!).||One other note--the mattress they use feels wonderful. My back felt great every morning!

Excellent location to downtown and fun waterfront eateries. Very clean and we liked the room’s decor. The barrel sauna amenity was the main reason for our stay at The Bowline. It did not disappoint! Good and hot, with a bucket of water provided to ladle on to the heater’s rocks for steam. We will definitely stay here again.

Fantastic hotel! Not one bad thing. Everyone who works there is friendly and provides great service. We had a larger room facing the water. Loved watching the ships pass by. I loved the sea lions. They are everywhere. Under and around the hotel. They do provide ear plugs, but inside the room it is pretty muffled. Plus you get used to them quickly. Their noise didn’t affect our sleep at all. There is a large tub in the room, which is so nice not being tucked in the bathroom. We could soak while watching tv. The location is perfect. Could walk to everything.

From check-in to check-out, our stay at the Bowline Hotel was excellent. Our riverside room was absolutely wonderful - incredibly clean, comfy, cozy with the fireplace, and we loved sitting on the patio watching the wildlife. We didn't get around to trying the food, but the cocktails at the Knot bar were delicious. We loved that you could take them back to our room. We will most definitely be back!

The BEST place to stay in Astoria! We were in room 7 worth it for the soaking tub, walk in shower, fireplace, balcony, view and exquisite service! Shout out to Adrift Hospitality for being so queer welcoming! Especially Ida are front desk 💗 We will be back soon!

What a beautiful experience, not just a hotel. We wanted a quick getaway and wanted one night in a cozy place that felt luxurious. We loved it so much, we stayed two nights instead of one. We had our dog with us and it was amazing that it was pet friendly and had a patio door. We loved the bar/restaurant attached to the hotel as well, and all the staff is so friendly and helpful. The sea lions were a charming addition to the experience- our two year old was very intrigued :) thank you so much for one of the best vacays we've ever had!

I think that this hotel is better suited for colder months. There is no AC. They include a small fan in the room but that can only help so much in warmer months. There are ear plugs and white noise machines in the rooms for drowning out sea lion noises though that was not an issue while we were here. The beds were outfitted with very nice sheets and were very comfortable to me however some people may not find them comfortable due to the fact that the mattress is very soft. For the price I would expect better.

Food - great, if you can get served. Service - great, if they are not busy. Ambiance - 5 star! I am on the river side. Awesome! However, if you have a dog - RUN!! Find another town. I will not be back. Hopefully, I saved you a trip. It is 7:11 pm. I ordered room service at 4:30. Why? Because dogs are not allowed in the lobby, and the restaurant is in the lobby. The town of Astoria is equally restrictive. The Bowline advertises, dog friendly. NOT!

Nice hotel, great location. The positives: perfect location to explore Astoria by foot, fab views of the river, spacious rooms with high ceilings, modern decor, seal and bird watching right from your room & patio, saunas available The negatives: thin walls & loud doors, no (free) parking lot (paid valet lot) The beds were interesting. I need a soft bed, but although they seemed super soft they were air mattress-like in that they were hard for me to move around on and find a comfy position. Service was friendly. Walkable to many food options, shopping, and museums. Overall a nice place to stay.

Bowline is one of my very favorite hotel stays. Ever. We visited Astoria for a quick trip last fall. We looked at a couple different waterside lodging options, but everything just paled in comparison to Bowline. We stayed in the ice house, and if you can swing it, as much as I hate to share, it was definitely the best spot! We were on the top floor so it was the most private and had the best view, in my opinion, of anywhere you could stay in the hotel. No matter what, though, spend the extra for a river view room. While the decor is gorgeous and any suite will be comfortable, don't forget that's the real draw. From our room with its massive windows, it really felt like we were just sitting right on top of the Columbia (which you kind of are). It was such a calming joy to just lay in bed and stare out at the lapping water, watching giant ships as they floated by. You can even view the river from the lovely bathtub. We also got to watch sea lions swim about, poking their heads above the water and just generally being adorable. Be forewarned, they are loud, but they are sharing their home with us! Bowline provides ear plugs, but I never travel without my white noise machine, and I am a very light sleeper. I slept fine with the machine on. We did not eat at the restaurant, but we did get bread pudding delivered to our room one night and it was a solid 4 stars. They have indoor and outdoor (with a fire pit!) seating for the restaurant, so if you're curious about staying at the hotel, it's a fine way to dip your toes in and see how you like the setting. Service was stellar from check in (complimentary wine!) to check out and everything in between. They have two steam saunas and provide robes and slippers in your room so you can comfortably venture to them. I did not realize how much we'd enjoy this but we ended up taking advantage of them three times during our fairly short stay. The saunas have large bubbles on the river facing end so you even get to enjoy the beautiful view from inside! Astoria is one of the cutest little towns, and you can't really go wrong just wandering downtown and seeing what strikes your fancy. The Bowline is in a perfect walkable location, in fact the only negative I can give is that due to their enviable spot right along the river walkway, parking is extremely limited. Our visit was not at the busiest of times and we had to park further down the road. Let's put a positive spin on it, though, and just say you have easy access to all the goodness Astoria has to offer. For dinner I highly recommend Busu, for snacks, check out Frite & Scoop, and for shopping, Short Wave and the Sunday Farmer's Market. Don't miss exploring batteries and the Wreck of the Peter Iredale in Fort Steven's State Park, and honestly, take a little drive across the glorious Astoria-Megler bridge to Washington's Cape Disappointment, too!

My husband and I will definitely be back! What a great experience. From the time we checked in, to the modern and yet rustic room, to the bar and amazing bartender (Katherine... I believe her name was) and the prime location basically walking distance to all the things. Our room was on the trolly side and it was quiet. The sauna access was super cool. Especially after we were a bit chilly walking around downtown.

Spectacular hotel! Right on the waterfront! Cool and ultra chic rooms decorated in high-quality modern rope and nautical theme! See lions are right there, welcoming you at the door! The lounge is also a cool bar and restaurant with a Scandinavian theme. Highly recommended.

Great, not a chain, hotel built Out of an old fish processing plant with gorgeous waterfront views and tons of ambiance. We only stayed a night but it was a great and centrally located spot for us

We were excited to stay here as it was recommended by a friend of a friend.Nice modern hotel. We were on first floor ocean view. Attentive check in. Street parking or valet on open lot- next to street parking. Very niche hotel. Had 2 saunas available as a sauna pod on the dock. Bring your bathing suit. I chucked when I saw the earplugs on bedside tables. "In case of sea lions" . They weren't noisy during the day. However at nighttime!! Constant all night. Barking all night like no!! and we needed the earplugs. Be forewarned. They roost right under the rooms!! No coffee available in the lobby in the morning. Coffee tea bags and kettle in the rooms. This is "apparently" an upscale hotel. Coffee tea bags. And individual loose tea with compostable tea bags. Cutesy but no second cup of coffee available.

Will definitely come back. Amazing experience. so close to restaurants which was super convenient. Parking was easy. Bed was comfortable. Staff was super helpful. Everything was super clean. Sea lions were not very loud- didn't need the earplugs, but was a nice gesture. Everything looked brand new.

What a gem! I'll get right into it, sorry so wordy! PROS -Great location -Excellent food -Well stocked Bar -THE VIEW -STAFF...sooooo good! From the time we hit the Front Desk to room service! We had the BEST TIME and will return for sure as we didn't have time to enjoy the Saunas on the deck. We loved the common area and the (slight) privacy of our deck alike. The vibe was just super chill and we can't wait to visit their other properties. Loved the minimalist décor, functional and adorable. The bed sat super low but was sooooo comfy, the pillows were amazing. I know it seems that there are more Cons than Pros, but I'm just trying to be detailed LOL! Stay here, you won't regret it! CONS -Parking is horrid, we were not offered Valet or we would have gladly taken it -Very limited menu (but sooo good) -We had A LOT of dog hair in our room...on the headboard and the floor, I have a fur baby so while I wasn't super happy about it, it was not enough to ruin the stay or take away a star, when you're pet friendly it comes with the territory. -Noisy, when I saw earplugs on our nightstands I was instantly concerned about how loud it would get. Roll up a towel and place at the bottom of your door (do this at all hotels IMO) and it helps. The Husband sleeps through everything, me...not so much. There was a fairly constant "banging" noise, it was the waves hitting the pylons holding up the building, once I realized what it was I went right to sleep without the earplugs. I mean, you're on a dock with moving water beneath you, the people complaining about that should apply a bit of common sense IMO -With the view came one startling issue, 1:30am the building shook a bit and outside the window were massive bright lights. We jumped up and ran to the deck, a tug/tender swung in about 30 feet from the deck did a quick loop and ran up next to the biggest cargo ship I've ever seen. The shaking didn't last long and we laughed our a$$es off but for a hot second I was sure this was going to be my demise! LOL! It was not a deal breaker and added a wonderful story from our trip. I wish we had booked two days for sure!

The Bowline Hotel is the best place to stay in Astoria. It is perfectly placed on the scenic waterfront, walkable to all of downtown and easy to find fun local spots. The rooms are modern and comfortable. Absolutely spring for the waterfront views, it is the experience you want. Many reviews mention the Sea Lion presence and noise. I have to say, as an animal lover, that was part of the charm. Above everything, the staff was so warm, fun and personable. Heidi, Hope and Kat truly made our stay extraordinary. They gave us local hand recommendations and represented their town in such a positive way. It's rare you want to spend more time in your hotel to just hang with the people that work there. I feel like we made new friends and we will def be back. Thank you to everyone at the Bowline for making our first visit to Astoria so memorable.

We stayed at the Bowline for four days and explored Astoria for our annual vacation. Let's start with the good: -Every staff member we dealt with was professional, pleasant and very helpful. -we stayed in a 1st floor River view room and the view is gorgeous, with our own little patio. -at first glance, the room is charming, with unique lighting and a large soaking tub. -we enjoyed our meal there. Now for the bad: -the walls are paper thin. The noise of the sea lions was fine; clearly hearing my neighbors belching and farting was not. There wasn't any Barry White action going on, but I'm sure that would have been loud and clear, too. -the bed is like a hammock; raised edges and sunk in the middle. Not fabulous for two people, as we both kept rolling into the middle all night. -the very cool sofa is actually super-uncomfortable; it's very, very deep and you have to use your bed pillows to make it sit-able. -the cute little trash cans were filled within 15 minutes when we each put our soda cups in it, so between housekeeping visits, we basically piled takeout containers on the floor. -the nightstands are very small-your book and phone will fit there, but nothing else. Again, style over function here. If you are planning on spending one or two nights here, you will probably really enjoy it. By the third night, the lack of functionality will get to you. Unfortunately, you are paying for the view, not a comfortable room. For the cost, I had hoped for both.

We decided to get away for a long weekend and chose Astoria as our destination. This hotel looked amazing with the views of the Columbia and the modern looking rooms. The rooms were nice looking. There isn't much insulation, you can hear everything/everyone in the hallway and the people in the rooms next to you. The bed was too soft and I felt like I sank to the floor when I layed down. We had gnats in our room that were coming out of the sink drain. We told the front desk we didn't need housekeeping but the message was not passed along. There is no parking for the hotel. You have to find street parking or pay for valet. The view from the outside dining area was beautiful and their drinks and appetizers were good. The waitstaff was friendly as well. Would we stay here again? No, a bit too overpriced for what you get.

Would stay here again in a heartbeat. The room is beautiful and spacious and nicely appointed. Love the shower! The Knot restaurant is excellent. Food and drinks were exceptional. I eat here when I'm not even at the hotel. Customer service is very good as well. Highly recommend.

The Bowline Hotel turned out to be a surprising find. It had an excellent fully stocked bar, food was limited but exceptional. The ambiance of being on the water and having close access to downtown was why we made this selection in the first place. We only stayed a night, but wished our travel plans would have allowed us to stay another day or two. We had an excellent room rate, very close to the posted rates of the Holiday Inn Express, and less than the Hampton Inn. We are already planning our next trip to Astoria, OR.

Wonderful. I wish I could live there year-round. (Except they need a better "restaurant.")

This was a lovely boutique hotel. A friend of mine took a road trip to Seattle with no real plans or hotel accommodations made prior to our trip, so we didn't know where we were going to be and when. We decided to stop driving when we reached Astoria. We found that they had vacancy while we were on the road. Thankfully, they did because I just adore this hotel. We arrived shortly after 10pm. Heidi greeted us warmly and with a glass of bubbly. I just wanted to highlight how important that was after being on the road for 16 hours. I loved all the cute unique details of the room from the sliding barn door to the vintage style fridge. The location is great, too!

My wife and I were fortunate enough to book this wonderful hotel the day before our trip. It was a fortuitous booking. In addition to great service, The room was very clean and has a very cool industrial Nordic vibe. The bed was super comfortable. The view from the patio was amazing looking out on the water. The sea lions were everywhere. They make a lot of noise at night but the hotel supplies earplugs. One nice amenity is the saunas which we utilized twice in our short stay. We ordered dessert from the hotel. I am not usually a fan of bread pudding but do yourself a favor and don't skip on the apple bread pudding. It was delicious as was the strawberry tart with ice cream.

There were thoughtful, tasteful details everywhere in my large room, like elegant scoops for fine coffee, a svelte but large fridge, deep blue floor-to-ceiling velvet curtaining, Grown Alchemist toiletries, and a copy of the book Astoria. (I didn't buy it then, but have since started reading it!) The Columbia river, right outside, was more compelling and magnificent than even the Oregon coast: I saw breathtaking double rainbows, container ships, sunset and sunrise through my large windows. I fell in love with the town, which reminded me of my native N.Y.C. The chatter from the restauarant was loud but it stopped at a reasonable hour. I can't wait to come back.

I'm seriously concerned about the couple in the hotel room next to me. It's been loud and very uncomfortable for three hours and I worry about her safety. I tried to call and text the hotel but can't reach anyone. I'm 1000% upset and beyond frustrated and concerned. Absolutely cannot recommend this hotel. Cancelled our reservations next month. Please stay somewhere else. Room was $550.00 before tax.

We had a 2 night stay for our extended family of 12, so 3 rooms with 1 family pet dog. They were so accommodating, friendly and service focused which I haven't experienced in a long time. As you might imagine, traveling with young children (6) and a pet dog isn't stress free so I was pleasantly surprised at how the entire staff went out of their way to be helpful. We left behind a toy car and received a call to let us know! Personal attention was a pleasant surprise. Thank you, bowline hotel and staff!

What an incredible stay. We were in the ice house suite & every detail in the space was perfect: excellent coffee & tea in suite, a beautiful soaking tub AND walk in shower for two, a huge & very comfortable bed, a main room (with a fireplace & books) that looks out over the water. I didn't take any photos bc I was too busy drinking cocktails while listening to sea lions, soaking in the tub & drinking coffee by the water. I have wanted to visit since Bowline opened (as I'm already a big fan of Adrift in Long Beach) & was still blown away by how nice the stay was. Most importantly of all, my dogs loved it.

Beautiful view of the Columbia river, the rooms are a bit pricey for the lack of amenities but splurging for a special occasion is okay in this case. Very helpful staff. The bar seems to be suffering a bit when it comes to providing timely food and drinks. Our room service took over an hour for 2 bloody Mary's.

It's so cute here! I walked into my room and there's a fire going to warm me up and it felt so cozy. I also had dinner in the restaurant and the food was great and the staff is super nice. I highly recommend staying/eating here.

Hotel is very clean with an updated rustic interior on the rooms that is very tasteful, beautiful views and the customer service experience was EXEMPLARY, Sasha, Danae, and Morgan helped us personally and they took it upon themselves to make sure our stay was exactly what we had hoped for in our stay in Astoria, the bar was diversely stocked and the food was delicious 10/10 recommendation!

Unreasonably overpriced for what you're actually getting. They also have the audacity to put hotel rooms next to a loud bar that goes til 11, so good luck getting sleep. Loud crashing sounds til 1am because of people cleaning. Front desk person gave us all keys that didn't work. We had to ask for bath towels. Horrible showers. They chose form over function, which is a rookie mistake. Hopefully enough people leave bad reviews exposing this place for what it is and they can be impacted because we truly don't feel like even close to got our money's worth here. I will say the bed is somewhat comfy but otherwise this hotel could close tomorrow and I'd be perfectly happy about it.

You NEED to stay here if you are staying in Astoria! We decided to splurge a bit and book a nicer room here and when we got there they offered us a upgrade to their suite for an extra $50- we are so happy we did this! Most beautiful room with private balcony, huge bath and fireplace. The staff were incredible and the location was perfect. Could not recommend this enough! Only issue I could see for someone is the loud seals if you're a light sleeper, but they also provide ear plugs for this too, and wasn't a problem for us So impressed!

The good. Unbelievable view and atmosphere. The rooms were clean and and new. People were friendly. The bad. It is on the coast and normally air conditioning is not needed; however, in my stay the room ranged between 80 and 84 degrees. Opening the door and window helped slightly by not much. Thankfully the room had a ceiling fan and small personal fan. The mattress was anything but firm - I sank deeply into the bed which I did not like. The shower was low pressure and did not drain very well. I hate standing in water during a shower. You have to find parking on the street or pay $15 per day for valet service.

Superb. Cozy. Elegant. Fire place! Harbor seals! You should just stay here. This boutique hotel figured it all out. Perhaps plan your trip around it when in Astoria. My husband, dog and I booked one night at first. Oops...We stayed a second night. Things I remember: high end body products, local loose leaf teas, local coffee beans. Fireplace. The hotel bar and restaurant are fantastic. Get the savory crepe and a cappuccino. Oh and you can walk to downtown and the Maritime Museum within minutes!

Ok.... really nice hotel with an awesome location. The rooms were lovely with all the amenities that you could ask for. Very friendly staff that answered all our questions. This place is also dog friendly, so that was a plus. The food and drinks at the restaurant were really good but a tad pricey in my opinion. The sea lions have got to go though!!! They give you earplugs for them, but I can't wear earplugs so they kept me up all night!!!

I was pleasantly surprised about this stay! The room was lush, warm gas fireplace, cozy robes, and they have thought of everything! There is a great upscale tea kettle, coffee & french press in the rooms. Frette linen (real deal!) and a cocktail bar that was calling my name. Our room was very close to the lobby, but it was not loud at all. The front desk was always accommodating and the breakfast AM server was sweet as well! I loved waking up and having an Americano in their lobby with ocean views - what more do you want. We had a "street" view which was fair for the price we paid and I thought it was kind of fun to have a door that opened out. It will be even better once Buoy Beer re-opens and they are next door neighbors. Come check it out.

This is a lovely hotel. My partner and I stayed one night to celebrate our anniversary and had a great time. There are lots of little touches that make it feel luxurious (French press coffee and loose leaf tea in the room, hardwood floors, deep bathtub, nice soap, etc) and it's also super cozy with a fireplace and blankets in the room. I was glad we splurged for the riverside view. It felt like we were on a fancy ship because all we could see out the windows was water! I'm leaving off one star because, while the staff was happy to let us check in early, they failed to let us know it came with a $25 fee. Not cool.

What a great addition to Astorias food scene. Right on the pier the simplicity of the bar/dining area is stylish. Great cocktail menu, and scrumptious seasonal food menu. We got a bunch of small plates between the 4 of us to share. The mushroom tart to die for, the roasted mussels were full of flavor, And carrots and salt fish were a surprisingly nice appetizer, and the duck and beets I could have eaten as a main course it was so good. The Halloween cocktail list were festive and fun, with glitter, and shark gummies, edible flowers, and fabulous glassware! The service was on point and friendly!

As an overworked, super tired healthcare worker I needed a break with no expense spared. I wanted views, food, indulgence and ease. And Bowline Hotel delivered. The views, ships, fireplace, soaking tub with soaking salts, couch with a water view and the coziest throw blanket, food and drinks delivered promptly by room service, ease of parking and contactless check in was amazing. The sea lions were around (down the way and on the buoy out in the water) but we found their noise charming. (They did not interfere with our sleep and we didn't need ear plugs.) Took us a minute to get used to the sounds of being "in the water" but these sounds soon became relaxing/soothing (as the tide comes in and out you will notice the waves hitting the pier). Check out the Vessel Traffic tab on the Columbia Bar Pilots webpage and also look at shipfinder.co to see which ships are at anchor/motoring by. You will be entertained for hours. Also watched a great video about life on cargo ships at https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=D0LgXOzcyTo&t=2st%3D2s. We had an issue with the TV in our room and within 1 hr we were moved to a new room and my husband was happily watching football. Communication with staff by text and in person was always pleasant and follow-up was prompt. I would highly recommend this hotel and we will definitely be back.

This is a memorable, and beautiful, place to stay. Staff are superb, recommending places to visit/eat; amazingly comfortable bed; huge shower; stunning river views; walking distance to nearly everything; resting sea lions. Yes, the "night noise" is there (waves causing the pilings to bang against the sea wall) but who cares? It's part of the experience, and they provide earplugs if needed. Delicious food and drinks as well! We'll be back.

Adorable hotel w/ wonderful employees! Everyone was beyond kind and super friendly! Def can hear the sea lions which I LOVED but if you're a light sleeper may want to seek sleep elsewhere. Super cool barrel saunas overlooking the Pacific Ocean~ situated within walking distance to anywhere and everywhere!

By far the best place to stay in Astoria. This place has it all: views, ambiance, great staff, comfortable rooms, and pet-friendly. The rooms all had a balcony which either went onto the pier or had a river view. The coffee and tea bar in the room was an excellent touch. The barrel saunas on the river are free to hotel guests. Valet parking is available onsite for $15/day as well. There is no AC despite many hotel booking sites showing it does have it. The hotel has a bar and restaurant which we found to have the best drinks and food in Astoria.

After being on a month-long journey through the PNW and staying at a new place nearly every night, the Bowline is the place I miss the most. I originally planned on one night, but that simply wasn't going to cut it. I booked another night hours into my stay. The bar: The cocktails are amazing, the food is amazing, but most importantly, the bartenders are as talented as they are lovely... and they are very very lovely. Thank you to Bailey, Emily, and one other girl who I'm blanking on her name ‍ More on the food (briefly): Simply some of the most creative, mouthwatering dishes I have had. My compliments to the chef. The staff: They were likely sick of me by the time I left, but nonetheless, Heidi and Kat made my stay stress-free and then some. The amenities: First off, there is a sauna on the pier. Sweat last nights wine/cocktails off as you look out on the Columbia River while seals serenade you underneath the pier. The rooms are fantastic blah blah it's all great just book the place already!

I had been very curious to stay here and the room and property is gorgeous. My friend and I sat in the bar area for ten minutes without anyone approaching us, we went to the bar and got menus and waited another ten minutes without being approached. We decided to give up and go have snacks/drinks in room. J went out later and had the most impersonal lackluster service. Wanted soup but no bread. Ordered a dessert to take back to my room, 15 minutes later, not ready, brought to my room dry lukewarm. Not at all up to the amount of money being charged. Room lovely, bar restaurant exremely subpar.​​

Great location. Friendly staff. Cool spot with nice Sebo Walker art in the rooms. Solid value and the shared bath/shower was a piece of cake. I'd do it again tomorrow.

Location: superb. Facilities: eclectic! Rooms: Comfy! Staff: Efficient and cheerful! Food: OMG-Huckleberry Tort FTW! Waves lapping under your room as you fall asleep...highly recommend! A terrific spot for centralized touring of the area!

My family and I had a wonderful stay here. Reserved the Ice House Suite (in a separate building apart from the main hotel) and a river view king bed room in the main building. The ambience was unique and views outstanding. The location is in walking distance to the shops and restaurants of the downtown. Kat at the reception desk was friendly and helpful. We were greeted with a glass of Prosecco upon arrival. There were no sea lions to disturb our sleep, but be warned, it is a converted cannery on a pier, so to retain the character of the building the acoustic insulation is minimal. You will likely hear movement of other people around you. They kindly provided ear plugs. We had morning coffees/breakfast in the dining room and evening appetizers/ cocktails on the patio listening to live music. The food was delicious. I will stay here again.

Great hotel! Perfect location. Beautiful view of the river. Bonus: the French press in the room with freshly ground coffee . Beds are super comfy. Cool bar downstairs. Downside: those damn sea lions are so loud! However, while they bothered us a bit in the morning, they didn't keep us up at night (wine and cocktails may have helped with this ). We will be back!

I cannot highly enough recommend the Bowline hotel, on the water in Astoria. Amazing views, tapas dinner here last night of baked mussels,carmelized butternut squash, foie gras, and black cod. Excellent wines and cocktails too. Relaxed excellence

You really can't beat the views. On top of that, they have a small batch cocktail list. You can taste the quality. Their food selection is limited however features exotic food from Scandinavian origins. Very tasty.

I will start this review by saying the staff deserves 5 stars! Every one of them was kind and welcoming. The rooms are nice, and the location is hard to beat. The reason I gave 3 stars is due to the paper thin walls and bed that's entirely too soft. We had to listen to the people in the next room having sex, the people in the lobby chatting and the employees banging around in the kitchens and other rooms. You can hear every conversation, that's how thin the walls are. For the price of this hotel you'd think it would be insulated much better. The bed destroyed our backs, as you literally fall through the mattress. I would want to stay here again, but for the nightly price of almost $500, it's going to be a hard sale to repeat.

Love love love this hotel!!! Its so special, I can't wait to go back. We had no issues. Bed was super comfortable, and we loved the heavy blankets!! The fireplace was an amazing addition. Waking up to French Press coffee was perfection. Loved the soft robe, wore it all morning. Street parking was easy, but if its not, valet was very reasonable at only $15. Everyone we encountered was so nice and helpful. Bartenders were exceptional. Loved the drink selection and cocktails! Food at restaurant was also delish. View was spectacular. You just can't beat it. Sea Lions were loud during the day, saw some negative reviews about that. They didn't bother us at all, they were quiet at night and our room was right next to them. They do provide ear plugs though just in case!! I never splurge on hotels, but so glad I took a chance on this one!! So relaxing!

We picked this spot based on centralized location to all the fun places we wanted to visit. We travel A LOT and I can not say enough great things about this place. Absolutely adorable, well thought out details and design. BEAUTIFUL! cozy and comfortable! Very friendly and welcoming staff (Emily the bar manager is AMAZING). Aside from the general awesomeness of our stay the cocktails were fantastic!! I would say the most consistent best craft cocktails in Astoria. We will absolutely be returning, would HIGHLY recommend.
