Top Athenaeum Hotel Reviews

Hilton Garden Inn Alexandria Old Town National Harbor

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay! The room was clean, quiet and the staff was top notch!"

Hotel Heron Alexandria Old Town, Curio Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel was easy to access from the airport via rideshare or the metro and free Old Town Trolley. The room was spotless, and the hotel staff were friendly and approachable. I would definitely stay here again. Only thing I didn't realize was that my room would include $25/day of food purchases- you either use it or lose it. However, the cafe and the rooftop bar were very comfortable places to refresh and recharge. It wasn't a problem at all."

Hyatt Centric Old Town Alexandria

8/10 Good

"Had a pleasant stay here. My room was clean and very quiet on my floor. Overall the hotel is very nice, I’d stay here again. Only wish they had an outdoor space to sit at night when you’re done hanging around but not ready to settle down for the night. That would be my only thing to make a comment about."
