Top Lafayette Square Hotel Reviews

The Darcy Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I definitely enjoyed my stay at The Darcy"

Hamilton Hotel Washington DC

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean rooms the staff was amazing. Centrally located was great."

Hotel Washington

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was wonderful, the rooftop bar is really something to experience. Staff could not have been nicer. Property is beautiful, the room was great. Only Cons: — We must have accidentally booked a mobility accessible room and it did not have a tub. The issue was that the design of the shower made water leak out halfway through the bathroom floor. So we had to put towels down to create a barrier. —The rooms come within an espresso machine, instead of a regular coffee maker, but there’s no instructions on how to use it so I had to look up a YouTube video. Espresso is fancy, but I think most people would prefer a normal cup of coffee. —My husband was charged $5 for a Coke at the restaurant and then another $5 when it was refilled. So that was a bit meh. But otherwise was just a phenomenal location and the price was great! Walking distance to Old Ebbitt Grill and Hamilton. You can walk in heels to both those locations. Hotel is close to so so much if you are sightseeing! Also, if you do the Old Town Trolley tour, one of the stops is right around the corner from the hotel. And the old fashioned cars tours also pick up right there by the front of the hotel. It’s really a perfect place if you are a tourist!"
