Top Kennedy Center Hotel Reviews

Hotel Hive

10/10 Excellent

"It was very nice experience. The room was clean. The staff were very helpful and nice. The amenities was OK. I just wish they would have a microwave in there."

The Watergate Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Good"

Club Quarters Hotel White House, Washington DC

8/10 Good

"Great location. Rooms had paper thin walls and you could hear every word of your neighbors. Not sure I would count the gym as a gym."

Hotel Washington

10/10 Excellent

"The restaurants are excellent, especially the Vue roof top bar/restaurant... the rooms are updated, clean, and well equipped. Room service was the best I've ever had. Hyper prompt, delivered fast while the food is still hot. I lost my ID and maintenance staff found it almost immediately, which was incredible to say the least.... 10/10 would recommend."

Hamilton Hotel Washington DC

10/10 Excellent

"The front desk staff has an incredible gift for hospitality. Sabrina was so warm and welcoming to me and every guest. The location is good, the room and bathroom were a little tired - the owners could invest some money on the asset and take care of that front desk staff! They are what make the hotel great."

The Melrose Georgetown Hotel

8/10 Good

"It is a pleasant stay, specially if you like boutique hotels. Great location"

Hyatt Centric Arlington

8/10 Good

"Mini fridge motor was loudly humming on and off all night."

Residence Inn Washington, DC/Foggy Bottom

10/10 Excellent

"Great spot. Amazing neighborhood. Would def stay here next time in DC."

Global Luxury Suites at Georgetown

8/10 Good

"Good place, love the room very nice to have my own kitchen. It's very unique and strange to have a hotel that you need to punch in a code to get into before checking in. One thing I mind is the ice machine in the refrigerator is very loud when it's doing it's thing."
