The guest experience

9.0out of 10
2159 verified reviews

Loved most

  • Great location near metro and attractions
  • Comfortable, high-quality rooms and beds
  • Friendly, professional and responsive staff
  • High-end touches (robes, Nespresso, quality linens)
  • Nice restaurant and patio
  • Clean and well-appointed rooms

Worth knowing — Occasional housekeeping lapses (missed servicing, missing towels/toilet paper) · Some noise/poor street soundproofing in certain rooms · Bar staff abrupt for some guests · No self-serve ice; minibar/fridge limitations · Shower leakage reported in one room · Some rooms tight for two beds; limited storage/dresser space

How guests scored the stay

  • Location9.5

    Location is repeatedly highlighted as excellent — convenient for metro, walking to sites, close to restaurants and coffee — a consistent strength in the reviews.

  • Overall Experience9.3

    Overall stays are described as very positive and enjoyable (relaxing, comfortable, excellent hospitality), with occasional minor issues that did not dominate guests' impressions.

  • Service9.2

    Staff praise is frequent (friendly, professional, responsive, helpful with recommendations), with a few service issues noted (abrupt bar staff, occasional delays or missed room service/requests).

  • Room Quality9.0

    Rooms are described as comfortable, high-end and well furnished (upgrades, nice beds/linens), with isolated negatives (shower leakage, some tight layouts for two beds, older building in places).

  • Amenities9.0

    High-end touches are noted (Nespresso, robes, quality toiletries, water/dates offered, nice patio), though some guests mentioned limited minibar/fridge access and lack of self-serve ice.

  • Food and Beverage9.0

    Restaurant and patio receive positive mentions (lovely cocktails, restaurant as a bonus); however, bar staff abruptness was reported by at least one guest.

  • Cleanliness8.7

    Rooms are generally described as clean and well-appointed, though several reviews note lapses in housekeeping (missed servicing, missing hand towels/toilet paper) and occasional maintenance issues.

  • Value for Money8.3

    Mixed sentiment: several guests call it great value given quality and location, while others note it feels expensive (e.g., no included breakfast, tight room configurations).

    “The room was great, the only issue was the in-room safe was not working and i had the same issue when I visited back in May, different room but we had issues with the safe! The location is excellent I travelled from NY by train and then jumped on the Metro to DuPont Circle, couldn't have been easier.”
