Top Athenaeum Hotel Reviews

Hampton Inn & Suites Alexandria Old Town Area South

8/10 Good

"Excellent stay"

Embassy Suites by Hilton Alexandria Old Town

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice hotel . The bathrooms need to be updated. Cabinets and doors . The pull out bed needs to be a better mattress or have a topper to be used so your not sleeping on springs"

Archer Hotel Old Town Alexandria

10/10 Excellent

"Archer was perfect in every way. The staff and valet were so kind and helpful. The room was very spacious, clean and had everything we needed. The bed was so comfortable. We truly enjoyed the convenient bar next door. The hotel was in a very walkable location. The free trolley stopped across the street"

Residence Inn by Marriott Alexandria Old Town South at Carlyle

10/10 Excellent

"Location was great for visiting sites close to the metro."

Residence Inn Alexandria Old Town/Duke Street by Marriott

8/10 Good

"Very convenient hotel, kitchen facilities are great."

The King Street House by Kasa

10/10 Excellent

"The property was safe, clean and efficient. Has everything you need for a short or longer stay. Parking is the only issue in ALL of Old Town Alexandria. We found the best for us was to park at the (2 blocks away) Cameron Street parking lot. Bring luggage on wheels and walk the 2 blocks in. You can also unload at the door and then park. There is a CVS down the street for any medicines or forgotten needs. Milk and Honey next door was a great restaurant. Make renovations and sit on the 2nd floor for a romantic dinner for 2. We would stay here again in a heart beat!"

Hilton Alexandria Old Town

10/10 Excellent
