Arlo Washington DC

10/10 Excellent

"This was a great hotel. Staff were very friendly. We had a room with a terrace which was lovely. Breakfast was banging!"

Hilton Washington DC National Mall The Wharf

10/10 Excellent

"Nice Hotel. Great location. Few minutes walk from the National Mall. The price was great for that location. The only issue was parking when you get there. Valet parking is available though. Overall, it was nice place to stay and I’ll certainly stay there again."

Hamilton Hotel Washington DC

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel was amazing in looks and location. This was our first time to Washington DC. Everything was relatively within walking distance. The room was nice a little small for 3 people but overall very nice. We upgraded to a park view that was amazing also. The beds were very comfortable and soft. Plenty of pillows. Plenty of towels. And the lotions, shampoos, conditioners and body wash was great in smell and size. The elevators were a bit small and slow. The water in the shower was extremely hot (way to hot). The parking situation was a shock that was not informed to me when booking or when we arrived. The parking is valet only BUT the hotel charges you 69$ a night for it. I am ok with that because everywhere in the city you have to pay for parking. I just would have liked it if the booking site or the hotel would inform their guests of this instead of being surprised 2 days later with a charge. Overall I was very happy."
