We found this hotel via expedia when we were looking to come here for an event. We make a Honey soft serve ice cream and LOVE bees & honey, so we thought it was kismet that we came across it All staff interactions from the check-in to the check out process was great. They really have some of the best customer service, consistently across the board, that we have ever encountered. We has great recommendations and added some things to our itinerary thanks to their suggestions. The room was perfect, small, but you don't need much space if you're getting out in DC. It was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. The location is perfect to walk places or jump on the metro to go anywhere you want. The rooftop bar has awesome views, but in the summer, the downstairs bar is where it is at. A/C! The restaurant has a small but mighty menu. Perfectly sized for options without being overwhelming. Delicious, too! Would definitely return again! read more

This is a cool spot to simply enjoy the views and ambiance by yourself or with your friends. The elevator is super small so I took the steps upon departure. Service was a little slow but there was only one bartender managing a few people. Important to note that all orders must be placed at the bar and they will bring it over to you. On to the drinks and food: I absolutely loved the scenery (breathtaking views and very calming vibes). I was not too sold on their drink prices based on the size of those serving cups. The cost and quantity were slightly off especially since there were lower cost for the same drink at nearby restaurants. Aside from that, I enjoyed my pineapple Jack'd pizza and the frose wasn't bad, just expensive. Would I return: probably for pizza and their spectacular views read more

After doing some research to find a clean, well-located, not over-the-top spot to spend a night in DC, I came across Hotel Hive. It advertises itself as a "micro hotel," but I actually found that the room I was given was quite spacious. But I come from Europe, and hotel rooms here are often notoriously small. For one night, it had everything I needed: a bed, bedside tables, a desk, room for my stuff, and a bathroom. It also had a TV, which I didn't use. And A/C, perhaps the most important amenity. I arrived in the early evening and was greeted by a friendly person at the front desk who told all I needed to know. I had booked one of the Buzz rooms, which are supposed to be louder, as they're in the basement and under the bar. I actually found my room to be relatively quiet... plus the bar closes at 10, so by the time I went to sleep, there was no noise to speak of. After dropping off my stuff, I went to the rooftop bar and grabbed a pizza and a beer to enjoy while watching the sun set. The view is pretty cool -- not the most amazing, as a lot of it was just looking out on buildings, but it was still nice to be high up. There were quite a few folks (college kids) partying up there, many of whom weren't even staying at the hotel, which I found kind of annoying, because they were loud, but whatever. In the morning, I checked out and they held my luggage for me while I explored DC. And when I returned in the afternoon to grab my stuff, there were no issues. I don't think this place is the fanciest (it feels sort of like an upscale hostel?) and it does still feel pricey for what it is, but it's DC, so I don't expect anything to be reasonably priced. The room is super basic (and my basement room didn't have windows you could open), but it did the job for one night. I like that there are food and drinks easily found on the premises, and it's a short walking distance to e.g. CVS and Whole Foods, plus some other spots to eat. The interior is cute and hip, and the bee theme is fun (even though the elevator is the slowest ever). Also, everyone working is so nice. Would I stay here again? Maybe on my own for a night or two. If I were traveling with my family I'd probably opt for something a bit more upscale. But it was good for what I needed it for. read more

We absolutely LOVED our stay here and have only good things to say about it. The staff is amazing and super friendly. You can tell they all love working here. The vibe is super cool and the food/bar are excellent as well. Highly recommend!! read more

I couldn't have asked for a better place to stay at during a short trip to DC. After doing a lot of research trying to find a hotel that wasn't outrageously overpriced, I found Hotel Hive. The rooms were bigger than a capsule hotel but smaller than an actual hotel room so not that much space but I was out most of the day so it was the perfect spot to stay at. It was conveniently located about 3 blocks away from Foggy Bottom station and serviced by 3 lines on the Metro. I was worried about the walk but it was actually super safe since it's right by George Washington University's campus so most of the time there were also students walking around. The welcome signage board in the lobby is pretty neat, besides saying the default welcome to the hotel message. It also frequently displayed inspirational quotes from famous people throughout the day. The hotel staff managed to get our room ready for us before check in which was super convenient. Only one elevator that was a bit slow and small but hey it worked. The elevator walls were glass so it felt less claustrophobic and there was interesting artwork on the walls. During this stay, we stayed in the twin loft room on the 5th floor. Hallway lights were a bit dim for me. We were able to ask the front desk for a mini fridge which took a day to get cold. Overall the room was pretty clean and decently maintained. A few areas of improvement would be maybe air freshener for the bathroom (it had a musty smell which needed the window to be opened to air out) and there seemed to be a lot of rust on the metal parts around the room. The mattresses on the bunkbeds were pretty soft and the pillows were quite fluffy. I liked that there was a TV for each bunk too. I just wished there was a channel guide so I could know what I was watching rather than randomly scroll through channels. One thing about the bunkbed is that the ladder was not the easiest thing to use to get to the top bunk. It would be nice if the steps were wider so that I didn't feel like I was about to fall off every time I had to climb down. There was a bluetooth radio speaker in our room which was pretty nice because I feel like a lot of hotel rooms don't offer an amenity like this. Other than a desk and chair there wasn't really much storage but that's a given since this is a micro hotel. Body soap, shampoo, conditioner and lotion were available in the shower as well as plenty of towels. FYI if you get dinner from &pizza, the first floor dining area to the side was only for dine in at that restaurant (I guess?). Luckily we were able to eat on the rooftop once it opened at 3. The weather was a bit chilly at night time but there were overhead heaters and lit fires to keep me warm. The bartender was even nice enough to give us cups of water. There were 2 bathrooms on the rooftop and both were pretty clean. I looked out from the corner and was able to see the Lincoln Memorial down the block. Check out was a breeze and the hotel staff were frequently checking in with us to see how things were going or if there was anything we needed help with. On the day of check out, we wanted to explore the city some more so we were able to leave our suitcases with the front desk for pick up later. It looked like they keep the luggages either at the front desk or downstairs so I knew my stuff would be secure. Definitely a great place to stay in DC! read more

Been coming here for 7 years. On and off. Never again. NOISE!!! First night had to move upstairs due to CONSTRUCTION underneath my room. Upstairs the next night had random banging next door, things being rolled around overhead, too loud music in hallways. VERY disappointing. Especially since had requested quiet room months before when I made the reservation. Goodbye Hive. read more

Hotel Hive is in walking distance of the GWU Campus, the US State Department, and the Watergate Hotel. I highly recommend this location for a night or two. The customer service was awesome, and the environment is really laid back and hip. The entrance has a cozy dining area with a bar and across from that area is an &Pizza. Other amenities include a rooftop bar with sectionals and fireplaces. The hotel offers happy hour prices on food and drinks from 3 to 6pm. The room was very clean and modern with a brick wall and wooden beams across the ceiling, windows that offered a nice street view of the GWU campus. A mini desk in the room and the shower had surplus pumps of shower gel, shampoo, and conditioner. Parking for 24 hours costs $24 dollars at a parking garage across the street. The bedding was soft, and the pillows were fluffy. They offer breakfast sandwiches and coffee in the morning. I would have liked to have seen a snack bar and 32oz waters for sale. Luckily &Pizza had 8 oz waters and soda for sale aside from sweets, there were no chips. I went out for dinner, would like to see them add a burger and a simple salad to the &Pizza partnership. Overall, I was comfortable, and I felt safe. I would stay here again. The convenience of getting an extra hour of rest to be near the conference was a plus. Hotel Hive deserves all the buzz! read more

The good: everyone who works here is super over-the-top nice; I don't know how they found such friendly people. They gave me some nearby food recommendations that were great. The hotel is not cheap but is a little less expensive than other hotels. Nice to have pizza and a bar right there, even though the food selection and hours are limited (which is what made it quiet, and that part was nice). The bad: very limited hot water; sometimes I had to wait for it to heat up. The rooms are teeny tiny and not well-designed. I've stayed in small places that are just beautifully and thoughtfully designed, like citizenM, and this was not that. I was constantly bumping into things. I'm not sure why they gave me a bunk bed but the pillow kept falling off the bed; there was a TV attached to it that wasn't necessary. Super cheap duvet covers... They give you a bag of workout equipment upon request and I could barely fit the yoga mat on the floor (though they do let you workout on the rooftop bar before it opens to the public if people are down for that). The elevator was so incredibly slow I thought I got stuck a few times... at least the artwork was cool! Will probably pick somewhere with a slightly larger room and consistent hot water next time. read more

I am completely satisfied with our stay at this hotel. The location can't be beat - a 10 min walk to Western Market, 12 minute walk to the Lincoln Memorial and the National Mall, and less than 10 minute walk to the metro. The hotel is clean and modern, very comfortable. The bedding is all new and clean and comfortable, the bathroom is very clean. The staff here are kind and helpful and knowledgeable. Really could not ask for better service and value - I definitely got my money's worth here and look forward to staying here next time I'm in DC read more

Terrible place to stay, they decided to do construction renovations at night from 9 to 1 in the morning. I called the host and she said there's nothing we can do and would not allow a room change. What type of establishment does construction at night to inconvenience their guest. I would spears the news that Hotel Hive is a terrible hotel to stay at, would never stay here again. read more

A cute hotel with tiny yet functional rooms. I booked this hotel last minute and it was the only room available on a busy graduation weekend. I enjoyed my short stay there. It had everything that I needed and was surprisingly so comfortable. The hotel serves breakfast in the morning and there is a restaurant right next door that you can access through the lobby. I recommend this if you are on a quick solo trip in DC and you want to be within walking distance from all the monuments and museums. read more

First time at a micro hotel. I was surprised but not disappointed. When they say micro they mean it! Pros: -Meter parking right outside the hotel. If you don't want to pay $25 every time you get your car out the lot. We actually saved money the two nights we were here using meter parking. -They have 2 bars. Downstairs and rooftop (heated) -Pizza restaurant (&pizza) -nice staff -right by the monuments -I would stay again Cons: -we had the room right in the hall way it was a pretty loud in the morning and and you could hear and feel everyone going up and down the steps. -the rug had stains. Definitely needs to be shampooed. -bathroom/shower floor needed to be cleaned. read more

Perfect place for after work happy hour! With an awesome view of the Lincoln Memorial. The rooftop is a nice view but a bit small and the bar is limited to wine, canned cocktails and frosé, which was really tasty! Just don't expect a full bar. Food options were Pizza from &Pizzza. First time, trying that also and I was impressed. The buffalo ranch was really delicious. If you're near GW, it's a nice day after work, definitely check out this place for happy hour! read more

This review is for the rooftop bar only. Came on a Wednesday evening around 8:00pm and was able to find a seat easily. There's a bar area both in the lobby and on the rooftop and both were pretty empty. The rooftop is nice and spacious with a lot of great seating and televisions to watch. Super casual vibe. While the space is great for groups the elevator to go up is small and a little precarious-- only really meant to hold two people. I had a rosemary G&T that was surprisingly on the bland side. Wouldn't rush to come back but enjoyed the rooftop overall for a casual spacious place to grab a drink and watch the sun set. read more

Such a lovely experience. I was lucky enough to check in around 2:30pm, on a Sunday (6/30/2024). James and Q were at the front desk when I arrived. James checked me in and informed me I had been giving an upgraded room, which was such a treat. They were very personable and it was so easy to check in. The room I was given was perfect and I really love that I received a text message from Q asking if the room was to my expectations (and if I required anything additional) a little after I checked in. I was able to relax before a planned dinner with Friends and it was so nice to see Q at the desk when I get as ready to leave. I really love how amazing her customer service skills are. We had a friendly conversation before I stepped out (her attention to detail is phenomenal, really personalizes the experience) When I arrived back at the hotel Q was there and asked me how dinner was. I really felt at home here. This is my first time staying at Hive Hotel and James and Q make me want to come back whenever I'm in town. I'm very fortunate to be a flight attendant and get to stay in many hotels all around the country. It is rare that I pay for a hotel and I can say, I will definitely be back, this was such a fantastic experience. read more

This review is for the roof bar not the hotel. Avoid, avoid, avoid! This is my second attempt and it was worse than the first. They only have beer, wine & canned cocktails. Prices are insane high. $24 for a canned 12oz Cutwater mojito! Maybe one bartender if you are lucky and the place was trashed both times from private events way earlier in the day. Bottom line: nice view, garbage service, ridiculously expensive junk drinks, no hard liquor, dirty space, under serviced. Hire people or pay your people better. PS- just watched an employee walk by two trashed tables, look at them both and kept walking. read more

We loved staying at Hotel Hive. My 8 year old daughter loved having a bunk bed. The rooms are small, but they were perfect for us. We especially loved the location and complimentary coffee. We had a great stay and highly recommend Hotel Hive read more

I would have given this place 5 stars if it wasn't for the couple next door. I booked two nights here with the full understanding it is a micro hotel where you go and sleep, so a very nice step up from a hostel to get some privacy at a good price. First of all, it's not cheap, I got it with miles but it's around $120 a night. They have a nice bar downstairs (apparently up in the rooftop too but it was cold), plus the pizza place next door was really good too, so enough hangout areas. Staff was very kind and helpful as well. The room itself was bigger than I expected, plenty of space to move around and set your stuff. Bathroom was small but sufficient, though the shower head could use an upgrade. They had all the soaps needed plus a hair dryer. Bed was comfortable, and at least in November the temperature was adequate. Now why two stars? The stars are for the pros, the lack of 3 is because the walls are paper thin! I recommended the lady at the front desk to warn patrons of this. The couple next door, besides being annoying, they decided to have very loud and deep conversations at 3am and 4am respectively each night I was there. It was absolutely ridiculous. Consider they weren't yelling but just talking loudly, you'd think they would hear me when I spoke up to say they were loud. They even brought extra people the second evening to have some even louder chats. I thought I would at least get some sleep on this little getaway but these rude people didn't understand micro hotels are for sleeping, not for disturbing your neighbors. read more

I have written rave reviews about my stays at Hotel Hive. I have only given it four stars this time because of the many disappointments on the food and beverage end during our four day stay. The staff were ALL great and that being said, I'm not sure how much they could control what occurred. The espresso machine was broken the entire time we were there, the coffee cups for the very hot coffee had NO lids and we are getting into a Lyft right after we got our coffee, they were missing several of the liquor for the drinks they feature on their menu, they had no olives for the martinis and the mint they put in my Moscow Mule should have been composted or thrown away - not put in my cocktail. I know the bartenders were frustrated as well. It's not their fault there was no Grey Goose for the five days I stayed there. Please! I realize these seem like first world problems but the number of "misses" kept adding up. Will I stay there again? You bet. I hope they get their act together on the food and beverage side. Every other time the bar has been packed (the roof top bar was well stocked but with limited choices) and the bar on the main floor was like a ghost town for the most part. read more

Specifically- Q and Shantae they both have this unmatched energy that is genuine and not cheesy - they start the experience. Rooms are small but they're clean and I had everything I needed.

First, and most important: SMALL rooms, noisy until ~10:15p. A great option for sight-seeing solo travelers who want an inexpensive place to sleep but be out all day. The hotel is 3 blocks away from the Foggy Bottom/GWU metro stop (blue, silver, orange lines hit a lot of the sights) with bus stops a block away. Right on George Washington campus - a beautiful, tree-covered, and safe neighborhood. Nearby restaurants are tucked in everywhere - sandwiches, breakfast/brunch, fancy-ish sitdowns. The room has plug and USB outlets; the ceiling mount air conditioner is STRONG. Housekeeping on request only. Beware there is a ground floor bar that you can hear the music and laughter/chatter until around 10:15p, but it's a city hotel, so you will hear the traffic and sirens anyway. Save your cash for tickets and tours and stay at this bargain spot. read more

I have been staying at Hotel Hive for years now. It became a haven during the pandemic for quick weekend getaways. Additionally, I've stayed here for more extended stays for business and leisure in DC including board exams, birthdays, graduation celebrations as well as reprieves from the stresses of life. It's always clean, the rooftop bar is lovely, and the staff goes above and beyond. It is a micro-hotel, so the rooms are small but clean, well planned, but much tighter than the traditional American layout. Go with the Loft King or Hive King for more space. One of my favorite features is that they are pet friendly. I often travel with my dog, and when I do, I don't have to worry about additional fees. Sadly my most recent experience with them left much to be desired. After a long night of travel-related delays, I arrived to check in around 1:30 am. After paying, I was shocked to find I'd be staying in their basement after spending over $1000. I have never lodged in their cellar during previous stays. It was surprising that despite being a loyal lodger, no upgrades were applied to ensure I received a more comfortable room with an actual window. I returned and informed the young lady at the front that I would not be staying. She informed me no other rooms were available, and I requested a refund. She told me she couldn't do so and would need to call a manager. After numerous attempts, a manager answered and told her to get my email and that the refund would be processed the next day. She hung up and explained this to me, and I told her I was unwilling to leave without a refund of such a large amount. It took her several attempts to get the same manager back on the phone. After much deliberation, the refund was credited. I was left to search DC for another hotel. I didn't get settled in another until 5:30 am after another horrible experience and failed attempt with nearby State Plaza Hotel (see review for details) I settled on finding a place where my loyalty would be rewarded. (Thanks Marriott Bonvoy and AC Hotel Downtown see review) I am genuinely disappointed in Hive. I think they are a wonderful stay overall, but the lack of regard for their most loyal customers leaves much to be desired. I'd prefer to patronize a more local hotel that I've called home countless times but not at the expense of customer service. read more

Beware of double charges! Almost every time I've stayed at this hotel, I've been charged twice, with the staff giving a different excuse each time. They've blamed "payment processing errors," my "virtual card (Apple Pay)," and even claimed their "new payment system" was causing issues. Each time, I've had to go through the hassle of calling my bank and the hotel staff or manager to fix the problem. This last stay was especially frustrating. I specifically warned Anthony at the front desk that my card might get double-charged and asked him to prevent it--but he smiled, assured me it was fine, and then double-charged me anyway. I spent half an hour waiting while he called James, the assistant manager, who also didn't seem to know what to do. Ultimately, I had to make multiple follow-ups to get my refund. For anyone considering a stay here, don't let the positive reviews fool you. The hotel pushes for good reviews when you've had a decent experience. Be vigilant with your credit card statements and watch for extra charges or fees! read more

The customer service is amazing. The hotel is in a great location. Rooms are clean, updated, and comfortable.

My husband and I stayed at the hotel while visiting from California. I researched and saw the reviews that the hotel is "micro". Therefore I knew the expectations, but when we arrived in our room we could hardly fit our luggage in the room. We had to crawl over each other to get in and out of the bed. Nonetheless it was clean and the decor is modern. It seems as if the hotel was once a dorm and they renovated it. The bar area is nice and cozy, the bartender was amazing! The breakfast is not all that good, as they cook it through the pizza oven pre-packaged. We checked out early and got a different hotel after becoming claustrophobic in the room, but try it if you're alone‍ read more

Hotel Hive prides itself on being the first micro hotel in that area, I was expecting a boutique type hotel. I attended a conference held on the campus of George Washington University and this was one of the hotels that was giving us a group rate. One of my colleagues said she felt like she was in the dorms. My other colleague said that it reminded her of an upscale hostel. My room was in the basement with quite a bit of outside noise. No closet and you have to request ironing board and cleaning service. It's very convenient as it is right on the college campus and walking distance to the national mall and plenty of restaurants and shops. There's a pizzeria with a bar downstairs and outdoor seating. There's one elevator that is very slow and very small. Now that I know what it is, I would never stay again, but if you're just looking for a place to sleep that's in a convenient spot, this could be it . read more

Stayed two nights. I had requested a king bed and was told they weren't available, so the first night had a queen bed which I believe may have been a futon. It was extremely hard and uncomfortable. The blinds didn't cover the entire window, so the lamp post outside my window shown all night. It was like daytime all though the night. Huge bathroom. The next morning I approached the front desk with my concerns. I also noticed they did, indeed, have king rooms available. Don't know how that error occurred, yet they did make it right by moving us into a king-size bed room. This room was lovely. Very comfortable bed. Roomy. Smaller bathroom, yet that was okay. The lotion in the showers in both bathrooms was gritty, so I was unable to use any. Our bill was reduced by $25 for the mishap, and we were offered a couple coffees. Very friendly staff. Nice rooftop bar. Very clean rooms. Pets are welcome. Parking was inexpensive ($16.50/night), yet then was pleasantly surprised by the garage sending me an email for the second night free parking! Price was very fair for Washington, DC. Excellent location being in between all the monuments and Georgetown University. read more

Great SHORT stay spot. Walking distance Lincoln Monument. An overall chill environment Here's what I noticed. On several occasions (including in the attached &pizza) the people of color seemed to have the more laborsome jobs while the white and asian staff primarily worked the front desk. Coincidence? Also, this hotel allows dogs. I am not a fan of this choice and here's why. While we were seated in the lounge one morning, a man who seemed to be of caucasian decent walked off the elevator and allowed his golden retriever to run loose. The dog came running into the lounge while we were eating and jumped into my partner's lap. NOT COOL. The man did not acknowledge us NOR did he apologize for his dog's over-excited behavior. He literally said nothing. And due to the inherent culture of the hotel (young-euro/white-pet friendly), the staff thought it was funny and cute. Herein lies the problem with many dog owners and businesses that allow dogs (specifically in the case of hotels and restaurants). The owner of the dog may not care or understand that everyone is NOT ok with dogs -especially a loose dog. Let me say, I am not afraid of dogs but what if I was someone who was petrified of dogs because of a childhood trauma? For the record I am allergic to dogs and there are A LOT of other people who are allergic to dogs. Restaurants, hotels, even banks today seem to be more accommodating of dogs and less concerned about the overall feeling of safety and hygiene of their facilities for EVERY patron. Now, if a hotel is going to allow dogs it needs to enforce leashes and prohibit dogs in areas where food is eaten or prepared. After all, there are still people like me who believe dogs should not be allowed in the kitchen or near the food we eat. You can do whatever you want in your own home/room but in common/public areas SHOW RESPECT. CONTROL YOUR DOG. It would have pleased me to see staff immediately speak up! Inform the owner saying something like this "Sir while we do allow dogs we ask that you keep you dog on a leash at all times (and close to you) and that you keep him or her away from areas where food is prepared or eaten." But again due to the culture of the hotel, the young staff seemed to lack the wisdom and sensitivity to accommodate what is essentially a cultural difference. Cultural differences are commonplace in Washington DC and this perspective of mine, should be understood even if it's not appreciated. I know this was a critical review but I do want to stress that overall I had a good experience and I would go again and I would recommend. I just hope to see more of the work evenly spread out among the staff and stricter enforcement around pets. read more

We had the chance to stay at Hotel Hive during our weekend trip to the capitol. We were considering a several different options but this hotel proved to be the winner due to it's minimalist modern style and convenient location in foggy bottom. We checked in around 11 on a Friday night and were immediately given our room key after providing identification. We had called a few weeks prior when we made the reservation and specifically requested one of their western facing octagonal rooms and we were happy to see that they respected that request when we arrived. The room itself is basic, but in a good way! The entire space is carpeted, including the bathroom. The room itself contained a hanging rack, desk with alarm radio and glass cups. The space also had several outlets throughout the room and the bathroom was stocked with shampoo, conditioner, lotion, and body wash. The bathroom carpet was actually nice because it was specific carpeting made to be absorbent, thin, and fast drying. The staff here was also great because they answered all our questions, made sure to clean our rooms daily, and also were great within their common spaces in terms of service and professionalism. I most definitely recommend this place if you're looking for a convenient hotel close to GWU or the Kennedy Center that's sure to tick off all the boxes. read more

At first I didn't understand what "Micro Hotel" meant and didn't realize that's what I purchased. We did complain at first because there was no shelf like the images displayed under our tv for our gaming console and I didn't see any drawers for the crazy amount of clothing I brought for my first anniversary being married to my husband. We eventually found a storage sliding box under the bed so that solved that. The vanity in the bathroom was my favorite feature of the room. The rooftop bar was my favorite part outside of room. It felt so romantic and had a beautiful walk around view. The location was even more perfect as it was walkable. Parking garage is right across the street but must pay a price which was unlikable but the amazing time we had makes it not a big deal any more. read more

Hotel Hive is a hidden gem in D.C. The rooms are small, but clean, cozy and comfortable. What truly sets Hive apart, though, is the customer service.

Okay, so I did a spontaneous staycation at Hotel Hive. The rooms are what you would expect from a micro hotel. Everything was clean, it was decorated very nicely, very cute. Loved it. It's connected to &pizza which is a plus. The thing that I loved the most was the customer service. From the time I checked in to the time I checked out, the staff was friendly and welcoming.
