Riggs Washington DC
4.5/5105 Reviews

Riggs Washington DC

Penn Quarter Washington D.C.|1.41km from Smithsonian's National Postal Museum
The hotel is comfortable and spacious, with the elegance of an old-fashioned hotel. The breakfast is freshly made and delicious. Go to the central grassland, the core attraction, and the White House can be reached on foot. Two blocks away is Chinatown, which is convenient for eating. Macy's and various famous stores are not far away. One stop for all requirements. The only downside is that there is a humming in the ventilation duct that is facing, it must be replaced.

Conrad Washington DC

In summary it’s a pleasant, very well-located hotel, and FOH staff work hard to keep customers happy. But poor fit and finish in rooms, chaotic housekeeping, billing issues, and slow customer support aren’t in keeping with the luxury positioning. In depth: Reception staff were superb: friendly, helpful, professional, and a surprise upgrade to a suite was most welcome. The restaurant is also very good and its staff, while occasionally overattentive, do a good job. Location couldn’t be much better for easy walks to a plethora of DC’s sights, museums, restaurants, shops, and transport. The rooms lack a luxury look and feel. They’re spacious and afford impressive views, but blandly and sp****ly furnished in a way that feels very cost conscious. Sound insulation is poor, to the extent that conversations and TVs in neighbouring rooms are clearly audible, as is street noise during peak times. Water pressure is extremely low, so the rain shower is rather more like soft drizzle . As with other Hilton hotels since the pandemic, there’s no minibar, no menus, no guest directory. It all feels rather spartan. Housekeeping is poor. Carpets and soft furnishings seemed grubby. The sofa, in particular, had several stains that looked like they could be removed if anyone cared to try. Clean glasses placed in the room had lip marks on the rim. Our coffee supplies were often not replenished. The second time we mentioned it, on returning to our room, we found two plastic bags stuffed with coffee, sugar, and cream dumped on the table — a distinct “here, stop bothering us” vibe. The breakfast, though very nice, is costly if you’re not getting the Food & Beverage Credit. There’s no end of alternatives nearby. There’s an obligatory 25% tip plus $5 delivery on room service. Laundry costs are such that I found it more cost effective to simply buy some extra clothes. Finally, our Food & Beverage Credit wasn’t applied to our bill. Hilton don’t answer replies to your receipt, so you have to fuss with corporate contact centres, chatbots and web forms. Took nearly a week to get a response, though to their credit they cleared our food bill as a goodwill gesture.

This was definitely a great stay. The establishment is modern, clean with very helpful staff. It is located in the heart of things. Museums, and great places to eat are close by if you want to get out and about. If not, the food is excellent in-house.

The price is expensive and the service is great. At night, I will place Evian mineral water and cups on the bedside table, place foot mats next to the bed and washstand, fill the ice cubes with ice cubes, and turn on the sleep aid music. It is in all hotels I have stayed abroad the best.

Downtown Washington Washington D.C.|1.83km from Smithsonian's National Postal Museum
A boutique hotel with a retro style, the location is very good, and it is convenient to go to the attractions~ I didn't expect the vinyl record in the room to be usable, and there is a radio station at the entrance downstairs.
JW Marriott Washington, DC

JW Marriott Washington, DC

Penn Quarter Washington D.C.|2.02km from Smithsonian's National Postal Museum
The location of the hotel is excellent, the room is small. Walk to the White House, the Washington Monument is very close, the front desk service is great, and late check-out is also given. Breakfast was mediocre with one unpleasant hiccup. The biggest advantage is the location, others lackluster.

Phoenix Park Hotel

Phoenix Park Hotel

Swampoodle / Judiciary Square Washington D.C.|0.16km from Smithsonian's National Postal Museum
Our experience at the Phoenix was wonderful. The hotel’s location was so convenient since it’s a block from Union Station and we came in on Amtrak - but also because the subway line runs from there as well. The staff could not have been nicer - always greeting us, welcoming us back when we came back in the evening, etc. And the room was clean and well taken care of every day. They also have a restaurant attached where you can get breakfast or food/drinks. We’ll definitely be staying here again on our next trip to D.C. The only negative portion of the visit really had nothing to do with the hotel but rather the people next door - the group was loud and boisterous late at night (between 1 and 2 am) and woke us up a couple of times. After two nights we reported the issue to the staff, who offered to try and move us, but since we only had one night left we decided to remain in our room. Other than that, the stay was perfect.

Kimpton George Hotel, an IHG Hotel

Swampoodle / Judiciary Square Washington D.C.|0.27km from Smithsonian's National Postal Museum
The hotel location is super, 5 minutes walk to Union Station and 10 minutes walk to the Capitol. The hotel rooms and bathrooms are very large, this time booked two types of twin and double beds, twin rooms are highly recommended, basically more than a queen. Size bed size. The hotel design is neo-classical. The beds were messy and the cleaning was clean. Stayed one night and received a $ 50 deposit, which is said to be refunded within 3-7 working days. There is a lot of food and shopping when walking to Union Station.

Hilton Washington DC Capitol Hill

Swampoodle / Judiciary Square Washington D.C.|0.28km from Smithsonian's National Postal Museum

Latest booking 24 hrs ago

My spouse and I have been staying at the DC Capitol Hill for 10 years for work and pleasure because it's centrally located, friendly staff, and the rooms are spacious. And because Teresa at the front desk always goes out of her way to greet us, and chat. It's always a pleasure seeing her, and her beautiful smile. We stayed there recently for one night on August 17th, before driving to Southern MD to attend a family wedding on August 20th, 2022. The next morning Teresa greeted us in the lobby as we were headed to the restaurant for breakfast. We talked about one another's family and life. At checkout that morning we mentioned to her that we were returning on August 22, 2022, for one additional night before returning to Seattle, and could she block us a nice room. She asked us to call prior to returning to the hotel and she'd check availability. While driving back to DC. from Southern MD, I called the hotel and spoke with Darius Foster. During our conversation he informed me that Teresa was off today, and that he'd remembered us, and that he would block a nice room for us. When we arrived at the front desk Darius was very friendly, and he delivered on his promise. We travel a lot and we always stay at hotels where we feel appreciated, and valued as a customer. Thank you Teresa and Darius for always making us feel special when we stay at your hotel. We'll be back and we look forward to seeing you both.

We had the opportunity to stay at the Yotel in Washington DC. At booking we had some hesitancy but we were so pleasantly surprised. The rooms were as described with very comfy beds. The lobby minimally furnished with no frills like gift shops or any luxury. However the staff is exceptional! Ms Dionne at Art and Soul is a wonderful presence and greets everyone with smile and pleasantries... she is wonderfully friendly and helpful. We will not soon forget her greetings or helpfulness.. Myla at the desk...saw we were distressed about the rain..in a minute she ran to a supply room and came back with umbrellas for us to use...we never asked...she just did it! And Dewan was so responsive on any and all requests. She was caring and concerned for us as hotel guests.. The bellman, maintainance and housekeeping staff went above and beyond as well! This DC vacation will stay our my memory...not because of the sights but because of Ms Dionne, Myla and Dewan and the staff at Yotel DC. Thank You! Phyllis & Vito

Nice hotel in a great location for a last minute trip to see the museum of the Bible. We are walkers so we enjoyed the fact that the monuments, Holocaust Museum and White House were all within a mile and a half from the Hotel. Rooms were clean, staff was friendly and food was great (especially when this country girl didn’t think to make a reservation for dinner on Friday night!)

NoMa / Sirsum Corda Washington D.C.|0.64km from Smithsonian's National Postal Museum
Opened in 2023, the Washington Marriott Capitol Hill is a great accommodation choice in Washington D.C..Traveling to the hotel is easy with Washington Union Station located approximately 1km away and Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport roughly 11km away. Being just minutes away from Union Station Metro Station allows guests to explore the city with ease. There is no shortage of things to see in the area, with the National Gallery of Art, Capitol Hill and United States Capitol all nearby.When guests have some time on their hands they can make use of the onsite facilities.

The hotel is located a little distance from the city centre and there is a metro station nearby. There are supermarkets within 10 minutes walk and there are not many restaurants. The extra bed is folded, the bed is very soft and it is rare to have a night. The room is small and has a microwave and coffee machine. A deposit is required for hotel stays.

Very good hotel, the first floor is a big supermarket, food, fruit is rich, and the price is cheap, the car is 1.99 US dollars a pound, it is too convenient. It is also convenient to go all the way to the sights. It takes 15 minutes to walk to Union Station and 20 minutes to Chinatown. Good service and good location.

What an absolutely amazing stay in the nations capital. My room was incredibly clean and it was even quiet, considering that there was a rooftop bar with live music. I slept well. And, I’m really grateful that they are in such close proximity to a Walgreens, which is right on the corner. I travel often and often forget a thing or two or just need simple things like bottles of water (I drink half a gallon to a gallon per day). But I want to give a big huge shout out to the staff particularly Jessica, Michael and Chris. I was traveling with someone with dementia. We were in town for the Alzheimer’s Association ball. And, they truly treated my travel companion with kid gloves! The staff were considerate to her needs and patient with her every step of the way. I even accidentally left my jacket in the hotel room trying to take care of my friend and Jessica call me later on that day to let me know that she found it and that she would personally ship it out. This jacket is very personal and special to me and has quite a bit of sentimental value so I’m so incredibly grateful that I didn’t lose it and that it’s on the way back to me. This was a great stay, a great hotel! You feel safe in a big city and the café downstairs has some of the best coffee I’ve ever had in my life!
