Top National Geographic Museum Hotel Reviews

Washington Plaza Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"It was a great stay! Great staff and a great experience"

Club Quarters Hotel White House, Washington DC

8/10 Good

"The staff was excellent. Location is superb! Right next to a Metro station and 2 blocks from the White House. The air conditioning wasn’t blowing cold air but they fixed it asap. The room was a little cozy but ok. Housekeeping every day."

State Plaza Hotel

8/10 Good

"Location is its best feature along with helpfulness of staff. The breakfast area is the weak point, but as it is not included in the room fee, it can be avoided. Overall, the location cannot be beat for the price in comparison to other hotels in the area. There are no stellar views, but this is not likely a vacation hotel. It's a highly functional hotel where you can avoid needing a car-priceless in DC."

District Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great location and a nice hotel. I would definitely come back"

The Beacon at Embassy Row, WorldHotels Distinctive

10/10 Excellent

"Excelent, clean and cozy room."

Hotel Washington

10/10 Excellent

"Nice rooftop bar. and good location"

Capital Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"Very friendly and helpful staff. Clean rooms and the restaurant's are amazing."

Mint House Washington DC Downtown by Kasa

10/10 Excellent

"Great location"

The Darcy Hotel

8/10 Good

"The Darcy is nice enough, but the bathrooms and hallways are quite small and the mattresses (I was in room 438) are a bit saggy and overly soft. I will probably try another place next time. But the location and staff are very good."
