What guests say
8.6 / 10 · Very good on Booking.com, from 134 guest reviews
The Bishop Hotel earns strong praise for its prime, walkable location in the heart of Port Townsend and its well-preserved historic character, with friendly staff and a charming garden adding to the appeal. However, practical drawbacks are consistently noted — the lack of an elevator, noise from the downstairs café reaching upper rooms, and limited in-room amenities may disappoint lighter sleepers or guests with mobility considerations. Most guests leave satisfied and would return, though some feel the price point is not fully matched by the facilities.
