Awesome place near the Mall. Splurge for the top floor king room if you can. It isn't "micro". The place has great staff...mostly. Really solid pizzeria in the building. Good selection of local beers. Quiet at night but close to everything. You can thank me later. read more

Hotel Hive - Hive Bar - Hotels Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Solid 4 stars! I needed a staycation and Hotel Hive was a great choice. Located about 20 minutes walk from the National Mall, this boutique hotel offers tiny no-frills but affordable rooms in DC. I booked a loft king room on the morning of my stay, but later received a voicemail from the hotel staff advising me that there was a glitch in the system and the loft king was no longer available; hence, I would be given a different king room and would have my rate lowered as necessary (loft king had the highest price). When I called back to confirm the voicemail, I spoke to Ruby or Rudy (not sure) and she was absolutely fantastic - pleasantly friendly and super helpful. In talking with her, I was able to switch to a loft queen and boy was I happy I did. The room I got was in the hexagon-shaped side of the hotel and thus my room had 6 big windows - loved it! For those who may have a problem with the neighboring buildings being able to see them, the room is well equipped with thick blinds. The exposed brick wall and high ceilings with with rustic beams were just as appreciated as they were only adding to the charm of the room. The room doesn't have much space for someone with lots of luggage, but it worked perfectly for me as I was staying there one night only. I did not eat at the hotel's Hive bar, so I cannot speak to it but there were constantly people there so it must be at least relatively good. Why 4 starts and not 5? Upon arrival, the room was somewhat dirty and someone hadn't flushed the toilet. Also the rooftop was open in the evening when it was storming and pouring, but closed in the morning when the rain had stopped. I purposely woke up to watch the sunrise and when asked the front desk how come it wasn't open, the employee was very short with me. Oh well, I would definitely recommend this hotel despite minor hiccups. read more

My bf and I were doing a quick trip to DC and decided to stay at Hotel Hive for the night. Check in was quick and easy, they even let us check in early which was nice since we only had one day to sight see. We stayed in a king size room that was on the bottom level, so below the check in area. It was considered a room with the potential to hear noise into the late hours, but we didn't really notice anything, other than some car noises outside. Our room was bigger than expected. Since we were on the lower level, our windows were sidewalk height, so we didn't get a view of anything. The bed and main area was clean. The bathroom was generally fine as well, but I think the flooring they picked was really disgusting and you could easily see stains and wear & tear which put me off quite a bit. We also had some crayon drawings from some kid on the pillar in our bathroom, so clearly they didn't clean it too well as that seemed to have been forgotten. But it wasn't dirty, just could have been nicer. The bed wasn't very comfortable and the pillows were absolutely awful, so squishy, no support at all. We had to search for our tv remote which was under the bed for whatever reason. The hotel has a great location, safe area and within walking distance to the Lincoln Memorial. The hotel itself is nice and hip. We definitely appreciated that they had a pizza place inside, as we were exhausted after a day of sight seeing and it was super convenient being able to just walk to the lobby and grab dinner. Overall it was a cute, trendy, convenient and affordable place for a quick nights stay. It gives you everything you need. read more

I literally picked this place on a whim and it was such a good guess. I work in a travel agency and will definitely keep this place in my mind. This hotel was so clean and I have never seen a staff so warm and inviting and friendly. Our room was not ready when my friend and I arrived but we arrived several hours earlier than check-in time and immediately offered a different room which was still a great room. We got settled in the room and left an hour or two later to explore and as soon as we came out of our room, they said "How is the room?" AND said my name so they remembered who I was - which is so important. They have a nice dining area on the right side with a waiter and the other side was take out. I, unfortunately, did not try the take-out pizza but I did have the breakfast. They have something called Kolachi's (sorry for the spelling) and they were delicious! I had two of them. Day 1 I had one with Kale and Mushrooms and Day 2 I had the strawberries and cream cheese - which was also delicious! And the waiter remembered I ordered the Kolachi and Orange Juice the day before so immediately asked me if I wanted the same thing... AGAIN, excellent customer service. Finally when we were leaving, the check out is 11am but we were not leaving Washington until 4pm so they tagged our luggage and kept it downstairs until we were ready to leave and also cleaned the room and kept my friends pajamas safe because she left them in the room by accident and remembered we were coming back. I will DEFINITELY be back here and recommend this hotel. read more

So happy I stayed here! I was hoping for something less expensive for the area, and clean and comfortable, and I got that and more. It's small but very cute and clean. The people at the front desk are amazing and Brooke was super sweet and helpful with any questions I had. Definitely staying here next time I'm in DC! My one recommendation to Hive would be thicker blankets during the winter (not like it's not easy to turn up the heat in the room, just a preference I think a lot of people have for hotels) read more

Love this place. I've stayed here at least five times and am already booked for my next stay! Price point is awesome considering the quality of service. Staff are great, rooms are super clean and polished. Love the bar and the pizza restaurant. My only criticism is the pet policy. I love pets but it is kinda annoying when someone has a dog barking across the hall. read more

Room: We arrived on early on Valentine's Day (2/18/19) before we were able to check into our room. The staff at the front desk was able to hold our luggage for us and give us recommendations for how to get around town. We reserved a lofted queen room and were lucky enough to get the best room in the hotel! It is a hexagonal room, located on the top floor, overlooking George Washington University and the Lincoln Memorial. The bed was surrounded by 6 beautiful windows, and I could see the Lincoln Memorial from bed!! We got a mini cooler for the room which was the perfect size for our stay. The hotel is located a short walk from the metro station that can take you around the entire city! Staff: The staff was amazing. Sakina befriended us the second we walked into the hotel. She helped us understand the Metro system and how to get around DC, and provided us with restaurant/bar recommendations. We looked forward to seeing her whenever we returned to the hotel, as she provided friendly conversation. was very easy to talk to, like a friend we have known for years. Hive Bar/&pizza: The hotel provided 2 free drink coupons! The drinks were great, the bar was a popular place for the hotel guests, as well as the locals. The pizza was great. We ran into an issue when our room was incorrectly charged for purchases made at the bar. This was promptly resolved after speaking to the hotel and bar managers. Overall, our stay at Hotel Hive is by far one of the best hotel experiences we have ever had. We look forward to staying here again and hopefully experience the rooftop bar! read more

I absolutely LOVED my stay at Hotel Hive. While my stay there was for only a few days, I enjoyed every minute of it. The hotel staff were delightful. David, the manager was funny, super chill and down to Earth, sociable and extremely accommodating. The front desk staff, Ben & Jon were oh so kind and great conversationalists! (*kuddos to Jon for his insight into Jordan 1's!!!). Thanks Ben for the heads up on what's permissible and what's not! The night staff, Natasha, was a pleasant relief during the evening. Providing me with libations late night (almost every night) was a total life saver! Lastly, thanks to the cool guy at the bar, Luis! Thanks for the taste test before I made my decision! That Brut was delicious and it surely hit the spot! All staff members made me feel warm and safe and I felt as if they ACTUALLY appreciated me patronizing their business; I really felt like I was a "quality guest." I couldn't have been more pleased with the setup of Hotel Hive. I appreciated that I only had to go downstairs to get a yummy pizza from &Pizza, which was delicious, nutritious, and fairly priced. The Moscow Mule wasn't bad either, but rather a refreshing surprise to my taste buds! The restaurant and downstairs bar were closed due to COVID, but the rooftop bar and pizza shop were open so I had convenient alternatives. I immediately fell in love with the aesthetics upon arrival. It's cute, quaint, and located on a quiet corner across the street from and in the general surrounding area of the GWU campus. The lobby is open and seems lively and inviting, with the pizza shop and bar/restaurant welcoming you as soon as you enter. I also appreciated the front desk being located just as you pass the threshold, so you're immediately greeted with a warm and cheery face and smile as soon as you arrive!!! I absolutely adored my room. It had large windows that boasted a GREAT view overlooking the central neighborhood and blue skies. I really got a kick out of the quotes strategically placed on the walls and mirrors; quirky and fun! The bed was so comfortable I didn't leave the room my entire stay, lol!!! It was so easy to just kick back in the bed with my feet up, head comfortably rested upon the cushiony pillows, window curtains open, and air conditioner blasting while watching the wall-mounted tv. I liked the openness of the room and that it wasn't heavily cluttered with overly excessive furniture; only the essentials. Lastly, to the bathroom which was my favorite part, lol (well the shower, actually!) I sincerely appreciated the shower as I felt like I entered a spa every time. I loved the rotation of the water as it hit my achy back. That especially helped to really seal the deal, LOL! I genuinely and truly enjoyed my stay @Hotel Hive and would totally recommend it to anyone who's not too fussy but rather wants a nice and quiet getaway with great staff! Oh and they're completely COVID-compliant!!!!! read more

Hotel Hive - Hotels Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Great if you aren't spending much time in your hotel and just wanna see DC. Would definitely recommend.

Where to start. This hotel is amazing. The staff is over the top friendly and helpful. The rooms are teeny but in a 'omg that's so cute' rather than a 'how annoying where do I put my toothbrush' the decor is amazing. Pay attention when in the elevator bc the paintings on the wall change. The pizza next door is next level. I'll warn you though if you're a condiment lover like me you will be charged accordingly (2 ranch equally 2.50) top notch micro hotel. Trying out the rooftop bar tonight. Will update accordingly on how their mocktails are. Ten out of ten. Update We went to the coffee shop 'hive bar' the morning we checked out. Jill was our barista. She was amazing. Kind. And helpful. The prices were a steal for dc and tasted great too! read more

Excellent enjoyed the place. Don't forget micro hotel. That is a good thing. You will feel a bit European. Very nice people. Pizza made on premise. Bar doubles for breakfast show me the problem. read more

Hotel Hive - Bar breakfast nook - Hotels Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

First time staying in a micro hotel and I have got to say I am very satisfied with Hotel Hive! My bf and I were visiting DC for the weekend and were attracted to their unique interior design. We had booked it about a month early and specifically requested a room on the corner of the building. It was shaped in a hexagon and the bed was in the center with windows in every direction! The best part is that the shades are controlled by the push of a button! It was a very cute and cozy setup. The bathroom was also very practical - the body wash/shampoo/conditioner/lotion was all tacked into the shower in a big refillable bottle. What they lacked in size, they made up for in atmosphere. Upon entering, they have a lot of unique bee related paintings on the wall which I thought were pretty cool. They also have a bar and pizza shop downstairs if you wanted to grab a quick bite or drink. It's also conveniently located near a lot of landmarks (or a scooter ride away). I would definitely consider coming back here if I am visiting again. read more

Loved this place. Convenient place to stay. Small rooms but nice. The staff was amazing! Shout out to Q, Chanta and Brooke - so welcoming, as well as all the others. Very professional, too. On-site pizza place, and rooftop area also. Very friendly, which made the stay special. Thank you! read more

Huge Disappointment. Stayed Thur 5/12 - Sun 5/15. Reception area tiny and had to wait outside since there was no room in the lobby to wait and we were told we could not wait in the bar area. The bar is the worst - no brand names at all from Makers Mark down to Coke products. One person working the bar that was nearly full. The room was small, bathroom tiny, no iron, no coffee maker and not even a closet - instead a hook on the wall with 2 hangers and a box to put things in and roll under the bed. I hung my tux on the shower wall. The only food at all at the restaurant (which is not close at all to any other restaurants) is pizza. We order on Sunday and we were told only 2 types (out of the many on the menu) were available- plain and white and absolutely no toppings. They were bland and room temperature. There is NOTHING boutique about this hotel. read more

Trendy & hipster are words that come to mind but not in a negative way. Clean rooms along with super nice staff who are helpful and seem to want to make your stay better. The bar also serves &pizza, which is a local pizza chain... the pizza is very good too. If you want a break from the norm, stay here for the unique. read more

As a resident of 2020 F St NW, it's not surprise that Hotel Hive became a regular spot for me. This quaint little micro hotel hosts an &pizza on the first floor which you can bring into their bar area to enjoy. The minimalist bar is sleek and the perfect spot for meeting friends for happy hour. My one complaint is the fact that no food is allowed on the roof. They are in a fantastic location and have a sweet rooftop bar, but no food?! Definitely not their best choice...however, that doesn't deter people from hanging out and enjoying the scenery as they sip on frozen cocktails. It gets really packed around happy hour on the weekdays, with government employees from all over flocking to the high top tables and couches. If it's a bit chilly, they provide heat lamps which makes for a cozy setting. I've never stayed in a room, but all other amenities are great! read more

Can I just say my boyfriend and I absolutely adored this micro hotel. We were planning a trip to DC to celebrate our anniversary which was a hit. All the monuments and museums are within walking distance and there are loads of scooters/bikes you can use too! Uber's arrived within 3 minutes. The hotel itself was extremely clean and the staff was just incredible and attentive to begin with. Our flight arrived earlier than anticipated and we were allowed to access our rooms at an earlier convenience. David helped us check in and gave us amazing suggestions and tips since we were new in town. Definitely recommend a stay; it'll be worth your while. read more

Hotel Hive is worth the praise they have been receiving! My wife and I picked the Hive after extensive research, particularly it's location to both a Metro stop (Foggy Bottom) and the other attractions we wanted to see. It was perfect for both location and price. We stayed for 5 nights, so we got a very good feel to what the hotel's experience truly is. A few things to keep in mind, based on what we found: - the rooms are small. This was perfect for us, but larger people may have problems getting around and being comfortable. - with small size comes small amenities. We saw where you can reserve a mini fridge, which we wanted to do to keep some breakfast cold, but it's actually a small cooler. It's appropriate for a six pack, but not much more than that. - the side of the building opposite of the entrance has a lot of sirens. There's a highway close by, and there must be a fire station near as well. It wasn't constant, but it was noticeable. - the drinks are pricey. A beer is $8, and mixed drinks are $12. Most draft beers close by are about $6.5 or so, so expect to pay a little more for a limited selection. - the elevator is tiny. Not a huge thing, but the elevator only holds at most three people snugly (or two with luggage), so it's often full. After a long day of walking, we sometimes wanted to skip the stairs to the room, but took them anyway after seeing people waiting for the elevator. Our experience was overwhelmingly positive, the staff was very accommodating, and we would definitely stay there again. read more

Stayed here with my husband and toddler. We loved it. Very clean and staff is nice. We will return soon.

I'm picky when it comes to hotels since I've worked in hotels before, but this place just had that warm and inviting feel to it. It may be smaller but they've decorated to give it that trendy feel. Clean lines, white linens and up lighting made the room feel bigger. The location was perfect with the Lincoln Memorial within walking distance and the Capital One Arena was a quick uber ride away. Jill at the bar makes a damn good bloody and all the girls at the reception desk gave us tips for around town and much needed directions and just made us feel like like VIPs. The free upgrade to the king bed was amazing! Can't wait to come back and try out the rooftop bar. Thanks y'all! read more

Came here with a group for happy hour. The rooftop is a really nice addition to the DC skyline. There is a small elevator, I recommend taking it because those 5 flights of stairs are no joke lol. The roof has a little cover over it and is totally fine during light rain. I really like the atmosphere, it isn't too quiet and you have a good amount of DC locals to mix with the hotel guests. The frose is super sweet and you really can't taste the alcohol, same with the frozen margaritas. The cups are stainless steel so they can get super cold to hold in your hand. Make sure to grab a napkin or risk losing circulation. I had a saag paneer kolache which was a good snack to go with the frose. The couches were nice and the greenery made for some really trendy looking pictures. read more

Hotel Hive - Views from the roof! - Hotels Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

This review is only for the customer service and telephone line delegated to events at the rooftop. We've tried to organize a happy hour for our office at the rooftop and emailed/called them to block a time for our private event and after several phone calls, we finally received one email, and when we asked follow up questions, still have not received any response back. When we called the line dedicated to the rooftop, we were always directed to the voicemail, and when we tried to speak to guest services, they were rude by not letting us speak and cutting the call before we could explain. It is disappointing as I've been there plenty of times and the bar staff was always very polite. Unfortunately, the events manager/guest services staff ignored our emails/calls and therefore, made us change our mind and look for other options. The only reason why I'm not giving 1 star is because the bar staff is very friendly. Leaving this review only with the hope that this will improve as I do think it could have been a nice option for our private event. read more

Perfect spot when traveling for work in DC. I love the staff! They take good care of all the guest. Ben, Becca , David if I didn't mention your name it doesn't mean I forgot about you! I love you all!! read more

Oh, Bee-have! My first micro-hotel experience in the U.S., which feels like a regular hotel in Japan. We chose Hotel Hive because of its primo location adjoining George Washington University and it was a nice walk to the monuments, White House, etc. The place is ridiculously modern and cute and has a popular bar and pizza restaurant on the main floor. Knowing this, I intentionally booked a room on the upper floor to avoid some of the street noise (sirens) and bar antics from the main floor. And I felt like I got my son ready for dorm living by booking a Loft Bunk room with bunk beds. Considering the floor space is this room is teeny (125 square feet) there was no claustrophobia because those rooms have high ceilings, beams, and exposed brick walls, with a nice window. There was a private bathroom in the room and a small desk area. Don't say you weren't warned. I think the hotel does a pretty good job acknowledging that some room are going to be affected by the bar area, so they are discounted and they call them Buzz Rooms ("What they may not offer in silence they make up for in value."). We didn't dine in since all of D.C. was at our feet and for breakfast, I wasn't really in the mood for a breakfast pizza. But, really, the hotel has a ton of style, we had a very positive experience with the front desk staff, leaving our checked luggage, and the cleanliness of the room. The only negative, was that on the day we were departing, the maid came to service our room in the morning, even though the do not disturb sign was on the door. read more

Pros: comfy mattress, beautiful marble shower walls, nice modern sink, bathroom looked clean, and nice location. Cons: AC was very dusty and gave me a stuffy nose since it was blowing directly in my face at night. It also took a few hours for the room to get cool. Tiny bathroom where the door gets in the way of everything - they should do sliding doors. No parking on site but they offer discounted garage parking a couple blocks away. Stains on sheets. Very uncomfortable carpet. No minifridge. Elevator smells like beer from the patrons Downstairs I guess. And the elevator and hallways and doorways are so tiny. Also the chairs they have in the room aren't comfy but they're also not gross like many other cloth hotel chairs so it's a pro and con. Also I called ahead of time to make sure they had availability because nothing was showing online as available. They said they did. But when I showed up they said they don't do walkins. If it's a covid protocol, I can understand, but nothing was communicated and they should put a sign on the door if so. If it's just this hotel trying to be uppity and not allow walkins, then that's just annoying. If this place was cheaper I wouldn't mind as much, but for $200 a night when I'm just passing through the city on my way up north, I regret not getting a Marriott or Hilton outside of DC. If location is important to you, then this makes sense. I only booked this because I thought the bathroom would be nicer than some of the other hotels I saw. And I think it was, it was just tiny though. read more

This micro hotel is THE BEST I have ever stayed. Starting with Brooke at the front desk that will give you service beyond excellence. Kiera who checked to see if everything was perfect and it was. I love the mirror that said The object in the mirror is Sexier than it appear. Love it! My room was a 5 star accommodation. The shower is one everyone need in their home. The room is clean with all amenities and very quiet. I absolutely love the safety Hotel Hive provide. Very well lit. No entry into elevators without your key card and this includes late entry into the hotel. This is my second stay and more to come. If I could live here I would be the happiest. The bed is so very comfortable. You must experience The Hive for yourself and do not BEE afraid..smiles read more

coolest micro hotel we have ever stayed at. staff was absolutely amazing , made us feel like we were home. Brook was at front desk and went above and behind to make sure our stay was amazing. Would highly recommend Hotel Hive to anyone going into the DC area. 5 stars for sure, deserves 10 but 5 is the most you can do. Great food downstairs as well. read more

We loved our stay so much! The staff made us feel so welcomed. They were so inviting for our little dog Abbie. They made us feel like family. We stayed 6 days. The staff are happy to help their guest and all consistently tried to go above and beyond helping or asking if we needed anything. The pizza was great. We sometimes called it dinner or had as snack while getting ready for something else later. We also loved the rooftop! I am 4'10 and hubby 6'4 and doggy 12 lbs and we fit just fine, and snug in our corner queen room. I slept great! Agree the shower soap and lotion nice as well. I have to use specific shampoo so didn't try their but I'm sure it is great as well. The hotel location worked well. It was easy to get to all the site seeing, running, and food that we wanted to enjoy. WE DO LOOK FORWARD TO ANOTHER VISIT in the future! Thanks again, Brandy, Eddie, & Abbie Gallagher read more

I love this place!!!! Clean + ultra CHIC. I watched the construction for months and gave it a try. I'm so glad I did. I love Liz : ) She was amazing! Literally helped me with everything.

(cool point 1) I forgot my toothbrush (asked if they had one and she brought it up in less than 2 minutes) (cool point 2) Directed me to the coolest little restaurant and gave impeccable directions. (Cool point 3) After her outstanding customer service. I wouldn't go to any other hotel in the area. read more

These people are on to something! The rooms are SMALL!....but if you are coming to DC, how much time do you really plan to spend in the room? The rooms are super cute, minimalist and very clean. The lobby and bar were also quite nice and the drinks were reasonably priced. The woman at the front desk, Priscilla was very friendly, polite and helpful. I also liked that there is a pizza place attached to the hotel that stays open late. The hotel is in a pretty nice part of town and is 5 min from the metro. It was everything I needed and nothing I didn't and was a great price, I would stay here again if I ever have something to do in that part of town. read more

My previous review of this hotel has gone missing, complete with my photographs. Grrr. Anyway, this is a hotel that believes in space-saving and economy of design. Each room is fresh, modern, crisp, and clean. The roof top bar never seems to be open when I am there. The main floor (2nd floor lobby level) has a pizzeria that mints band-aid shaped flat breads reminiscent of a fully loaded Kotex, and a bar that serves ethanol that packs a heat which I imagine could power my car. There are bunk rooms, twin rooms, loft bunk rooms, buzz rooms (next to active commons areas), and private queen rooms, each of which has a private shower with bath products, a small radio, a desk, and a tiny plasma tv. During the occasional thunderstorm, Hotel Hive emblemed umbrellas are provided to guests. Walkable to Whole Foods and to George Washington University. read more

for the convenience of the location in one of the busiest parts of DC, and the quality of the hotel and its facilities, this place is a gem. i was in DC for two days to get a visa. this place was one of the cheapest and convenient options available near where i needed to go. for a night, it was ~$200. expensive, but a very convenient location a short walk from the metro, and close to GWU. one thing that stood out is that the second we walked in, sometime in the middle of the day, we were immediately greeted by literally one of the kindest hotel workers i've ever met. shoutout to Q. like, i was jet lagged to high heaven, and she was beaming and super peppy and talking to other guests, and somehow she remembered my name after one interaction when i checked in??? i looked all tired and raggedy and barely had the energy to say anything or be extra polite, but fun fact: i am a southern gal, and the hospitality she showed to me made my day. i'm from TN, and DC was a huge adjustment from what i'm used to, but her hospitality and attitude made me feel a bit more welcome in all the chaos from the metro. i think i must've looked particularly messed up, because she gave me a voucher for a free pizza and a handwritten note wishing me and my dad luck on our DC adventures. literally the sweetest thing. and that pizza was damn good, too. i barely talked to her cuz she was pretty busy each time i saw her, but: thank you Q for being a sweet and awesome human being. very cool. the concept of a micro hotel isn't for everyone, but i really liked it. my room was super clean, the shampoo and conditioner was luxurious and really high quality, and it had everything i needed. they have super nice facilities, including a bar, the hotel associated pizza place next door, and a rooftop bar. in terms of vibes: this place wasn't exactly my cup of tea, but i generally have hard times adjusting to the northeast as a southern gal. everyone seems so busy and professional. the hotel seems to attract the cosmopolitan hipster types. a lot of people in sleek dresses and slacks and button-ups sipping on drinks on the roof. i felt like a drowned rat compared to all of them, but it was fun for people watching, certainly! the workers here are helpful, professional, and super clear. would definitely recommend this place if you need a convenient and relatively affordable place to stay, and if you like practical hotel rooms. not for everyone, but i liked it! read more

Hotel Hive was perfect for an overnight getaway/writing retreat. Every member of the staff was so friendly and helpful all the way from the first phone call to my departure in the morning. I was impressed that they remembered my name! The micro hotel concept is really cool and I adored the design touches that make really clever use of space with clean lines and a pleasant layout. Only small downside for my particular situation: It wasn't possible to really use the desk because the safe took up most of the under-desk space. If you need to work, check with the front desk about your room layout. I didn't have all that much to do, so I sat on the bed. Another great feature is the well-priced parking deal the hotel has with SpotHero. And the pizza from &pizza was tasty and just what I needed when it was stormy outside when I got hungry. read more

Nice small hotel that has everything I need when coming to DC. I am not spoiled, give me clean room, decent size TV and I am satisfied. I travel a lot for work, and one day will go over all the hotels I have been to, and there are a lot. This hotel has a good location and OK prices (I came here on the slow season). People are nice and professional, and try to make your stay here good enough for you to come back. Nothing amazing. But good enough for me to come back here on my next visit to DC. read more

Awesome swanky place in DC. Sure, it's super small and can be kinda cramped but that's the point of this place. They make up for it with impeccable service and great food.

Hotel Hive - Hand written letter from Julie and the staff. - Hotels Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

The Hive is often buzzing but don't let that dissuade you from a unique experience in the D.C. area on your next visit. This lovely property is staffed by young, courteous professionals who take customer service serious. The prime location puts you walking distance to good food and 30 minutes away from the White House, Smithsonian museums, etc. The showers are very tight spaces, be warned. The soap dispensers take getting used to as well. Also, I sleep well my first night in but the next two nights were challenging as the person one floor up was on the move...a LOT. But my door was next to a stairwell and that was zero distraction. Thank God for earbuds. Finally, with a nearby hospital be prepared for the sound of sirens - nothing too crazy, though. The rooftop and Hive bars feature Happy Hour prices between 3p-6p. Definitely try the avocado toast in the morning and add bacon to kick it up a notch! Thank you, Hotel Hive, for taking care of this Killer Queen. read more

Would definitely stay here again when we visit DC. read more
