Top Athenaeum Hotel Reviews

Residence Inn by Marriott Alexandria Old Town South at Carlyle

10/10 Excellent

"Every time we stay here we have a good experience. Great breakfast!"

Embassy Suites by Hilton Alexandria Old Town

10/10 Excellent

"This is my 3rd time to stay at this location. It never disappoints. The food is excellent and the staff is incredible. They go out of their way to help with any question and the free water bottles are a plus. Thank you for another wonderful visit to your city"

Hotel Indigo Old Town Alexandria by IHG

8/10 Good

"The connectivity to streaming on TV was clumsy and aggravating though resolved by staff. This issue should be easily resolved by upgraded software."

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

"Great location near Metro and King Street. Clean and comfortable room. Only weird thing was the motion sensor light in the bathroom that turned off while in the shower. Nice staff and buffet breakfast"

Hotel Heron Alexandria Old Town, Curio Collection by Hilton

8/10 Good

"Metal piece below sink fell off and bruised/cut my wife’s foot."

Hilton Garden Inn Alexandria Old Town National Harbor

10/10 Excellent
