Elevator lobby

The hotel stay was great! Check-in was a breeze, and I was offered two bottles of water as a Hilton Honors member. The room was spotless. Usually, I can spot something but there were no inconsistencies. The cleaning staff did an excellent job. Although there is a small refrigerator in the room, you must use the microwave downstairs in the Grab & Go Fresh Market. I found the price to be optimal for the location. The elevators ran promptly, and the room keys did not lose activation. It was a cold weekend, so I opted to keep my vehicle on site, covered, at $60/night, as self-parking is unavailable. Also, because of the weather, we ate at Federal City Bar & Lounge for two nights as the Bistro 525 was not open. The prices are $$$, but we could stay out of the cold, and the bar has great drink options! Some restaurants are within a 15-minute walk, but we didn't want any parts of the cold. A s I lay in bed on our last night, I decided this location would get 5 stars. I found the hotel to be a very nice place and in a great location.

I stayed here for 4 nights on my third work trip to DC this year. From the outside, I thought the hotel looked pretty nice/modern. So I was shocked by how old-school my room looked. I was still fine with my stay and enjoyed the shower and quick elevators.

The view of the capital at night was beautiful. Overall the hotel was pretty good. My room was somewhat dated but the bed was comfy enough and bathroom had a bath tub which is a plus after long training!

This hotel is in a fabulous spot (you can see the capital) and the rooms are quite large for the city. That's where the comforts end. You will be nickel/dimed the rest. There is only Valet, no self parking. There are no Self luggage carts. Service seems to be interested in anything but you. Even if you are a diamond there is no check in water. The only Bar closed at 8:52 on a Saturday. Outrageous! (They want $70 a bottle of cheap wine in the Sundries shop) The rooms are preset to their version of 67 and can not be changed. I posted a pic of the unit. Perhaps someone knows an override? This is a city hotel so you can expect some of these things. Would I stay here again? Only for the convenience and only if I am getting the room cheap. Thank goodness a great bar/restaurant was around the corner.

Construction ongoing! (March 2023)

Excellent location, close to Union metro station and train stations. Within walking distance to Capitol Hill, Library of Congress, and also Chinatown, Capital One Arena, and National Portrait Gallery. National Postal Museum is a five-minute walk away and a pleasant surprise for us; we didn't expect to enjoy it as much as we did! Highly recommend going there as it's likely not as crowded as the other museums. The two dining establishments serve excellent food too. Classy but not fussy! Friendly servers and staff. There's a little mini market by the Registration counter; you pay for your purchases at the counter. The hotel was under renovation when we checked in. Bedroom was basic but clean and comfortable. We didn't have any views though but that's ok since we didn't come to DC to spend time in our room anyway!

Nice room.

I had a great 3-night stay at the Hilton Washington DC. We arrived early to DC but we're able to check into our room early. The room was nice and clean with a large comfy king bed, plenty of storage space, a nice desk and lighting. The shower was a bit finicky to switch between the faucet and shower head. There was construction going on in the lobby and restaurant. Regardless, this did not interrupt our stay. The hotel is centrally located. You can see the Capitol building from the street and the National Mall is a quick Uber ride away. The weather was great so we ended up walking there. Overall a great place to stay during your time in DC!

I stayed here while visiting for a wedding. I am a Hilton Honors member so I got some great service. I had people check in daily from the hotel with my satisfaction. The hotel is located nearby a ton of places - other hotels, restaurants, liquor stores, etc. We were able to walk to all locations we wanted to go to over the weekend. The Capitol Building was less than a half hour walk which was amazing. Upon entry, the view in the hotel was absolutely beautiful. The check in and out times were perfect. We got to check in early with no hassle. It was in a safe part of DC. The rooms were neat, clean, and spacious. Easy controls for temperature and the bathroom was stocked with plenty of towels and usual amenities. Everyone was friendly and the service was amazing. Downsides were no breakfast included, one unlabeled and difficult to find ice machine, and limited meal options. I bundled the hotel with flights but it was very affordable. I would definitely come back and stay here if I visit DC again.

For about a month or two I was not having the best of luck when it came to travel. It kind of hit a peak here. I was in town for a work thing and was being put up here. It was convenient, especially since I knew the area pretty well. Being that I was out of town for work and being put up here, it was all taken care of on their end. This is where the mix up started. Upon check in I was only responsible for necessities. But the hotel wanted to charge me the whole amount for the room for my stay. There was a lot of back and forth between me, the staff, and who set up the room. Once that was figured out I thought I would be good. Finally, with key in hand, I went up to my room. Now, I thought check in was a hassle, but what happened next just made it so much more of a hassle. I get off the elevator, make my way to the room, scan the keycard, and open the door to a surprise. Turns out I was just checked into a room that was already occupied. Once I opened the door I was greeted with a suitcase opened on the bed with all it's contents all over as well. I never met who the owner of the suitcase was...why...well, because they were in the shower, in the bathroom. So I just noped my way out of there and headed my way back down to the front desk. Funny thing when I headed back down to the front desk, the staffer was not as amused as I was at that point. See, when I headed up to the room and after the initial check in fiasco we joked about the confusion and I had said if anything else would go wrong I would let him know. He said that he was done in ten minutes and it would be someone else's problem. Well, my amusement translated to his surprise. When I informed him why I was back down there, he did not believe me at first. I don't know the specifics about why this happened, but it could have been that someone had checked another person into what was to be my room. To make things right, which I was not looking for, I was just looking to get to my room and drop my stuff off, they upgraded me. Now when you think about it, in DC that isn't much. I got upgraded to a room on a higher floor with a Capitol view. They also wanted to comp a meal or something while I was there (I did not use this, I hardly had time to have a meal in house or order room service). My Capitol view, was basically a view of the dome and all the rooftops of the nearby buildings and buildings looking towards the Capitol. The room was bigger than what I was expecting. Decent sized and plenty of space to throw my stuff about. Tons of outlets to accommodate all my electronics I brought with me. The bathroom was even big, not like other hotels. The only thing that was smaller than normal was the closet. It also was hard to open, so I just put my suitcase behind the door since there was ample space. The TV swiveled out and was able to be angled to wherever you were sitting in the room. I really enjoyed the headboard light, it gave the perfect amount of glow to make the room comfortable to fall asleep. As for the rest of the experience, it was enjoyable. The staff were all really great to interact with. Some of my colleagues ran into some troubles. One that decided to park at the hotel, which was valet parking, had to park himself, but pay the valet rate. That doesn't seem right. After check out, I was good. I reassured the front desk I didn't need anything comped and made my way out.

New bar area.

I stay at this hotel often. Hilton has done major upgrades to this property. Completely redesigned the lobby, added the pantry and moved the bar to a more central location. Nice views of the capital. The rooms are large and comfortable. Comfortable beds. Convenient to many locales in the city.

Bed bug bites
Bill N.

Yikes, bed bugs! Eaten alive by one of the biggest names in hospitality. 3rd floor room adjoined a noisy meeting space, thin walls and boisterous people everywhere. Hilton could not move me because they were fully booked. As if that weren't enough, the restaurant food was awful. The only exception a sirloin steak served in the bar area. Otherwise menu items hardly, barely matched descriptions on the menu. Looking at you "Griddled" breakfast sandwich...pfft Reconsidering my Honors membership. Will try another hotel in the future.

We had a great experience here. Room was clean and spacious. Staff was friendly, courteous and helpful. Would definitely stay again.

There is an executive lounge here- the breakfast options were fairly standard (scrambled eggs, sausage, smoke salmon, fresh fruit, cheese, yogurt, bread, bagels, muffins, juice, coffee, tea).

The room was spotless, the turndown service was a nice flex, and everything felt polished. The location is clutch--walkable to fun spots and everywhere we needed to be for work. The key-card elevators are sleek, high-tech, and super secure. The restaurant and bar had great energy, and the food hit, but $24 for a drink is unhinged. Overall, a stylish, safe, and seriously fun stay. More details from my review on Google: Rooms: The rooms were exceptionally clean, comfortable, and well maintained. The turndown service was a lovely touch, and everything in the room was perfect throughout my stay. Safety: The hotel elevators felt extremely secure and high-tech. Guests must use a key card to access certain levels and floors, which added an extra layer of safety and peace of mind. It's a great security feature and made me feel very comfortable during our stay. Walkability: The hotel is conveniently located within walking distance of plenty of things to do, as well as the locations I needed to access for work. The location made my stay easy and convenient. Food & drinks: The hotel restaurant and bar had a nice atmosphere, and the food was good, but everything felt extremely overpriced. Charging $24 for one drink is absurd. I enjoyed the experience overall, but the prices make it difficult to recommend. Noteworthy details: From the moment I arrived, I was treated like a regular. The staff made me feel genuinely welcome and at home-never like an outsider in an exclusive club. Their warm, down-to-earth hospitality made the experience truly special.

(Please note I am writing this before the end of my stay)…read more A tale of two cities: My significant other and I are on a bit of a journey up the east coast and we have been blessed to stay in some stunning locations. This review is written on the piggy back of staying in a wonderful location in Asheville. On paper we had a similar experience; greeted warmly by the valet, then again by the concierge. We also have the similar warm plush robes waiting in the room with a welcome note (it's our anniversary). Both locations also boast the roof top bar. In Asheville I sat and drank prosecco and watched the moon rise and then respectively the sun rise over the city. This is where the Hotel Washington takes the turn and as the reader I suggest you ask "what is the experience I am looking for?" The hotel Washington has a beautiful bar with great team members but it is very difficult to see the monuments. There are artificial flowers and pretty lights to give you a spot for lovely photos (of the artificial flowers) and probably look lovely if you're a content creator on social media. But the bar that overlooks the Washington monument has pink lights that reflect off the windows preventing you from actually looking at the monument. In the morning I walked to get a coffee and returned hoping to sit upstairs and watch the sunrise over the city. Nope! "For security purposes" the roof is locked until 4pm. The 4 stars instead of 5 is there is a very heavy perfume in the hotel lobby. It is very heavy and does not seem to have a purpose other than to "not smell of people or outside". This hotel is lovely! The room is comfortable and offers the lavish elegance of a luxury hotel. But the feel this hotel seems to be aiming for is more of a night club and spot for content creators rather than a beautiful building overlooking the amazing history of our country. When booking please consider what you are hoping to get from your experience!

If you have the opportunity to catch one of these evenings, it is absolutely worth the effort. I arrived early and stopped at Off the Record for a drink before heading upstairs. The bartender mentioned that this event also helps provide additional hours for staff during the slower month of August, which made me appreciate the concept even more. The Top of the Hay itself is stunning. The views and setting are exactly what you would expect from such an iconic DC property, and getting to experience a space that is typically reserved for private events made the evening feel particularly special. The drinks were also excellent. Sweet, but not overly sweet. But what really stood out was the staff. I do not say this lightly. The service was outstanding. I genuinely wish I had caught everyone's names because anyone working between roughly 4:30 and 7:30 that evening in the lobby, Off the Record, or Top of the Hay deserves recognition and a raise! Every person I interacted with was incredibly attentive without ever being overbearing. What impressed me most was that the staff remembered my schedule for the evening and made sure I left Off the Record at exactly the right time so I could be the first person to step into Top of the Hay when it opened. That level of attention to detail is rare. Beautiful space, great drinks, and truly exceptional hospitality. "Be Gin the Evening" is such a clever way to let locals and visitors experience a part of The Hay Adams they otherwise might never see. I would absolutely do it again.

For the rates they charge, the conditions and service are unacceptable. The building is old, heavily dated, and features cheap fixings. The bathroom is tiny, featuring a cramped round sink with virtually zero counter space to set down any personal items. Furthermore, for a five-star hotel, lacking a proper hot tub and standalone shower is unacceptable. The towels provided are cheap, rough, and feel entirely out of place at this price point. The bathroom ventilation is so old and loud, that I can't even believe it's there. No fridge in the room, only a mini bar that will charge you if you move around mini bar items to place your own drinks. The view of the White House was severely misadvertised. To actually see it, you are required to pay an extra $700 on top of an already steep $600-per-night room rate. The acoustic insulation is non-existent. If anyone is staying in the room above you, forget about sleeping--every single footstep and movement carries straight through. The front desk staff was entirely dismissive. After promising to switch our room to resolve our issues, they dragged us through three separate attempts, wasted hours of our time with non-responsive answers, and then finally demanded we pay even more money to fix their mistake. After we went through, not even a complimentary breakfast or really anything. Shocked that this place is more expensive than Four Seasons, St. Regents, and the kind. This is barely a three star hotel (except location of course). Stay away.
