Top George Washington University Hotel Reviews

Club Quarters Hotel White House, Washington DC

10/10 Excellent

"Room was clean, hotel in a convenient location right next to the metro and bus stops and the staff was super friendly. Small mixup getting a room when I arrived (at 2am), but the receptionist got it cleared up and I was very grateful. Great location, and good for solo travelers"

Moxy Washington DC Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was awesome! Everything clean and vibes were on point. Only thing is the sandbars game in the lobby could use some TLC"

State Plaza Hotel

8/10 Good

"The location to the main areas of attraction and the metro was excellent. The desk staff and housekeepers were efficient, polite, and professional. We arrived early, but there was a room available, so we were able to settle in at that time. We booked a king bed without kitchen; we got a double queen with kitchen. That was fine with us. The room was a bit outdated but clean; the shower had some mold but not a deal breaker. The room was located near the front desk, elevator, and stairs, so it was a bit noisy at times, however, we were out most of the day. We ate dinner at the hotel restaurant one night and the food was delicious. There aren’t many dine-in restaurants within a half mile walk of the hotel. Circa, near the Foggy Bottom metro, was excellent. We would stay the hotel again."

Hotel Hive

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel looked lovely as we approached and didn’t disappoint when we entered . The staff were lovely throughout our stay and the room was perfect ! Clean, spacious with a decent sized bathroom containing shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, hand gel and body lotion. Loved the hotel and would definitely recommend."

Hotel Lombardy

8/10 Good

"The room were very clean and well maintained. Unfortunately, some of their amenities are outdated, for example the TV. Overall good hotel, good location and quick access to everything DC have to offer. They just need some minor updates. Also, the addition of microwaves will be a great addition."

West End Washington DC, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"Very friendly staff and clean room"

The Melrose Georgetown Hotel

10/10 Excellent

Courtyard by Marriott Washington, DC/Foggy Bottom

8/10 Good

"the room was very clean and the person at the front desk who helped me was very helpful and friendly and was able to give us a early check in but when i was checking out the lady in the lobby was very rude and had an attitude about my booking through expedia cause of some error so I did not appreciate that"

One Washington Circle DC, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"This is great hotel with excellent customer service. Feels luxury, from the front door, lobby, restaurant to the rooms."
