Hotel Location
Guest Reviews & Ratings
The hotel rooms were comfortable and spotless with thoughtful finishing touches, offering extremely comfortable beds. However, the lack of a second mirror in the room was a bit inconvenient. The service was fantastic, with efficient, friendly, and accommodating staff, providing amenities like room service, dry cleaning, and valet parking. The location was excellent, situated in the old embassy district surrounded by small independent shops, cafes, and restaurants, creating a cozy European city vibe. The dining experience was good, though it was recommended to order a la carte instead of opting for the $25 breakfast. The hotel facilities were well-maintained and added value to the stay.
The hotel had a fantastic location near popular nightlife spots and was convenient for public transit, with numerous dining options nearby. While the rooms were smaller than expected and faced other rooms, the exceptional customer service made up for it.
My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The rooms were modern, clean, and offered a lovely view of the circle. The bed linen was crisp, and I had a great night's sleep in this quiet room. The cafe was a nice touch for quick snacks like pastries and coffee. However, the hotel's location detracted a bit from the overall experience, especially with the view of air con equipment.
The hotel is conveniently located in Washington DC, within walking distance to the Smithsonian museums, White House, and Capitol, making it easy to explore the city. The rooms are well laid out for comfort, although the noisy air conditioning unit outside the window was a bit of a downside. The service was friendly and accommodating, with helpful staff offering great recommendations. Dining options were good, albeit a bit expensive. Overall, a great choice for travelers looking for a central location with easy access to attractions.
The hotel offers small but modern and clean rooms with a huge, comfortable bed and a cool view of Dupont Circle. The service is exceptional, with attentive staff who anticipate your needs. The location is a gem in the heart of the old embassy district, surrounded by small independent shops and cafes. The dining experience, though a bit pricey, delivers top-quality food. Overall, a delightful stay with prime amenities in a charming neighborhood.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel! The rooms were very clean, modern, and spacious, always made up whenever we returned. The service was welcoming, helpful, and unfailingly pleasant. The location was excellent, within walking distance to many of Washington's tourist attractions. The dining experience was good but a bit pricey. Overall, a great value for money option in a convenient location.
The hotel is conveniently located near Dupont Circle in Washington, DC, offering a wonderful setting for people-watching and easy access to hotspots, great restaurants, and the Metro. The rooms are modern but slightly small, and the design could be improved for better darkness at night.
When I arrived, the room wasn't ready, but eventually, I got a nice view of part of the area. However, the rooms felt like depressing closets, and the view was only of another building. On the bright side, it was quiet inside.
