Top George Washington University Hotel Reviews

The Melrose Georgetown Hotel

8/10 Good

"N/A"

Hotel Washington

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay"

The Watergate Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I consider the Watergate a 4 star (not 5 star) hotel. It is usually very fairly priced. The rooms are excellent. The Kingsbird restaurant for breakfast is superior and the service excellent. I had this terrific Chamoix beer that was one I've never had that was originally kegged in a bourbon barrel. I was there for two nights for a conference there. It was excellent for the money."

Hotel Lombardy

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing property in a very central location. The room was phenomenal, and the amenities in the room and bathroom were great. The air conditioning was also very good."

Club Quarters Hotel White House, Washington DC

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay! Housekeeping staff was very nice and accommodating! Front desk lady was a bit cold but not rude. Overall great stay!"

The River Inn

8/10 Good

"We stayed there in 2024 and we did it again in 2026. This time we were on the 7th floor, and maybe that was the reason wifi was on again and off again. Everything else was very good."
