Washington hotels in Capitol Hill

Pros: Close to train. Cabs right out front if needed. Great value for the price. Convenient having a bar/food right in the hotel. Coffee provided in the morning. Very clean. Comfortable bed. Umbrella and one robe provided in the room.

Cons: Tiny elevators. Room was small. Only 1 tiny window in the room and we had no view. Shower door didn't stay closed. The water was $4 a bottle in the room. There was no dresser but rather 2 drawers located in the closet.

Pros: I liked the location and apparence about buiding, is a Tresaure of tourism in America. Bravo!

Pros: The proximity to downtown D.C. and the monuments was perfect! We loved that there were a few coffee shops and restaurants nearby, especially the Dubliner, an Irish restaurant and bar, that was situated right under the hotel itself. Staff was incredibly nice and the hotel was very clean - we plan to stay here whenever we come back to visit!

Cons: The only downfall is that walking around the area at night can be a little questionable, especially going to or coming from downtown D.C. It's eerily quiet.

Pros: Location - walking distance from Union Station Staff - helpful at check-in Price - reasonable rate Rooms - small but just updated, look / feel great, stylish - felt like I was paying MUCH more

Cons: No downside - rooms small but decorated so well that didn't notice or hinder the stay Arrived late, left early so didn't have any down-side to the stay Free coffee only - but liked the coffee lounge

Pros: The hotel itself was pleasant despite being under repair such as an out-of-service elevator. The convenient location was key for us as we arrived and departed through Union Station, just a couple of blocks away. It's also reasonable walking distance to the capital building, China Town, Verizon Center, Pennsylvania Avenue, etc. The room was small but the bed and room were clean and comfortable. The desk staff were friendly and accommodating.

Cons: The amenities were bare bones. No frig in room, no comp breakfast or wine hour. The fitness center was a little lacking as well: small space and there were free-weights, but no benches on which to use them. The water pressure in the shower was very weak. It was like trying to shower with a toy squirt gun. Check-in could have been a bit smoother: we arrived around noon, so we had previously requested an early check-in (normal check-in is 3:00 PM and this is not explicitly stated until you complete your booking). We were told over the phone early check-in would not be possible. Once we arrived, we went to the hotel anyway to see if we could store our bags. It turned out we were able to check in early, so I'm not sure why were initially told that early check-in was not possible. Service at the restaurant was poor. We went for lunch after checking in. I ordered a drink after we were seated and I did not receive it until after we were finished eating and had received the check. There was some kind of problem with their taps. They were apologetic and did provide the drink for free since it took so long, which was nice.

Pros: The hotel itself was pleasant despite being under repair such as an out-of-service elevator and an out-of-service ice machine.

Cons: When I checked out, they tried to charge me for six nights when I had stayed five. When I pointed this out, there was no apology. Mistakes can be made, but overcharging by hundreds of dollars is a very big mistake and deserves some serious groveling. I waited about five minutes for them to correct this, but they couldn't even get logged into the computer. I told them I'd be in the breakfast room and to bring me the corrected receipt. After half an hour, there was still no corrected bill. I went back to the desk to ask about it. This time I got a mumbled "I'm sorry," but I wasn't sure if it was for overcharging or for taking so long. It seems they overcharged everyone in the hotel, and I was just the first to notice. They were sorting out the mess. Besides a serious apology, you'd think they'd be thankful to me for alerting them to a massive problem before they had a lobby full of irate guests. You might think they would at least offer to pay for my breakfast while had to wait so long, if not offering a free night. I got nothing but a long wait. I eventually got my corrected receipt and ran and caught my train to the airport by just one minute.

Pros: Location, the staff is friendly

Cons: Draft from windows (they are not sealed),the bathroom is cold (no heating lamp there), the heating blows air straight to bed (not comfortable at all especially after taking a bath) no coffee maker in the room, and no hot drinking water in the lobby after 11 am.

Pros: The room was beautiful and clean. The location was excellent. All the hotel staff were Grundy and courteous.

Cons: Other room's room service trays sitting in the hallway for more than 24 hrs. Unbelievable that they charged $4 for the water bottles in the room. Tried to go for a drink in the pub, staff were not attentive; sat for over 15 mins without getting asked what we wanted or asked about drinks; simply left and no one noticed.

Pros: My room was apparently newly remodeled, and was very modern, exceptionally clean, and very comfortable. The location - just two blocks from the parks surrounding the Capitol on the senate side, are hard to beat. It's a short block walk to Union Station if arriving via train or Metro. There is very little to the hotel other than the rooms - I didn't use the fitness center or the Dubliner restaurant next door, but if you are just looking for a convenient, impeccable room this is a great choice. I'll definitely return.

Cons: Via the phone and their web site, they required a 3-day minimum stay. Fortunately booking via Kayak let me book a single night, or I would have had to stay somewhere else.

Pros: Comfortable rooms, helpful staff. Private setting with an interesting bar. The night we were there the bar was very busy and noisy yet the noise was completely isolated from the lobby. Irish themed, the bar had an excellent selection of beers and whiskeys. We didn't try the restaurant, so I can't give an opinion. The Phoenix Park is an excellent choice, especially for business travelers.

Cons: Nothing - good place to stay.

Pros: This is a beautiful hotel with an incredible staff. It is a block from Union Station and convenient to all public transportation. This makes it incredibly easy to get to all of the sites to see in DC and Georgetown. The complimentary coffee bar is wonderful. The rooms are immaculate and very comfortable. I would highly recommend this hotel and would definitely stay again if I were to travel back to DC.

Pros: Staff were very accommodating. Room was rather small, but very comfortable and immaculate. Restaurant and pub attached to hotel and cafe just down the corner. 5 minute walk to Union Station.

Cons: Only thing missing was coffee maker in the room.

Pros: We arrived 5 hours early just to store our luggage while we planned to eat lunch and take a quick tour around our hotel. We were greeted at the front desk by a nice young lady that assured us our room was already ready - a huge plus to us...Everyone was extremely helpful, friendly - would definitely stay at this hotel again. Union Station being a stones throw a way was BIG plus!! The Dubliner - oh, the food here is excellent. Highly, highly recommend eating here. The extra amenities did not go unnoticed. Chocolates, Irish Cream, Bath Robes, Umbrella to use!

Cons: Nothing was disliked by my husband or I.

Pros: Convenience to Union Station. Excellent facility.

Pros: excellent service and friendly staff

Pros: The hotel staff are extremely helpful and accomodating. The hotel is very well kept and welcoming. The attached restaurant is fun and has good quality food for great prices. The hotel is conveniently located within one block of a major shopping centre with direct metro access, so very easy to get around the city.

Cons: Swimming pool in the hotel, or one nearby would be a major asset for families with children.

Pros: I like the proximatey to the Capital and the Mall and to Union Station. Taxi fares to other parts of the city are not to bad and the metro is right there at Union Station.

Cons: There is no shopping near by. This is a business and residential area for government.

Pros: Excelent.

Cons: No

Pros: The location is ideal for visiting Washington.

Cons: The check-in staff could be more interested and breakfast facility is quite poor and expensive in comparison with same standard hotels in Europe.

Pros: The hotel was centrally located, within walking distance to all the major attractions and union station.The staff and room were excellent and we enjoyed the food and drink in the pub.

Pros: friendliness of staff, hotel position, cleanliness

Cons: breakfast staff rather indifferent

Pros: I love the location, free breakfast and most importantly the service.

Pros: They had an excellent gym. The staff was helpful and friendly.

Cons: No complaints!

Pros: Large room, comfy bed, friendly and accomodating staff-they let us check out late, valet parking until 6 pm the next day even if you check out that day, breakfast was good though the room is crowded so get there early or be prepared to grab something quick

Cons: small bathroom

Pros: We liked the clean decor and the layout of the room. Breakfast was outstanding.

Cons: I can't think of anything that we didn't like.

Pros: Capitol hill hotel is a great place to stay if you are touring DC. Very close to a metro stop, and only about a 20 minute walk to the mall. Great food on Pennsylvania Ave just minutes away also. Well maintained, the staff were helpful and professional.

Cons: The only inconvenience I had while staying is there was only one ice machine on the ground floor. Other than that, it was great.

Pros: The hotel is located just steps from the Capitol and Library of Congress, and the Capitol South Metro stop. It was a great location, with a good selection of restaurants and cafes within a couple blocks. The hotel provides a great breakfast spread in a building adjacent to the main building, so be aware that you may have to walk a bit to get to breakfast in the morning if you are staying in the main building. Food included: oatmeal, scrambled eggs, sausage, bread/bagels/muffins, fruit (apples/bananas), coffee, tea, and a selection of juices. While I never took part, the hotel also offers a wine hour from 5-6pm in the main building. They also provide free 24-hour tea/coffee/hot chocolate and a selection of sundries in the main building.

Cons: The bathroom in the Junior Suite was rather small and did not have a window that opened, so it did get a bit stuffy after a hot shower. The television generally worked, but some of the channels would go out every now and then. Wifi required you to log in multiple times a day, which was frustrating.

Pros: breakfast described as "continental" however it was hearty and included eggs, meat, hot oatmeal, and potatoes as well as the usual fruit, danish, & yogurt. room was quiet and comfortable, bed excellent. individual climate control in room. pre-dinner wine hour in comfortable library, plus cookies, water, coffee, tea, apples always available and assorted sundries available for purchase. free bikes to borrow if you are so inclined! location perfect for Smithsonian museums, Library of Congress, Folger Library, and the delightful Capitol Hill & Eastern Market neighborhoods. staff friendly and helpful. mini-kitchen in room with microwave, coffee/tea maker, a small supply of silverware & a corkscrew (a thoughtful touch). L'Occitane toiletries in the bathroom, terrycloth robes ready in closet.

Cons: the breakfast room was a little warm, but it was indeed a warm morning and the breakfast room was full of guests.

Pros: Nice atmosphere

Pros: I first chose the Capitol Hill Hotel for its location. I was one block from not only the metro station, but also the Capitol Legislative Office Buildings. This hotel more than met my expectations. The staff was very friendly and accomidating. My room did not feel like a standard hotel room. It was set up as a small studio apartment which made me feel much more at home. Everything was modern and beautiful. I will definitly be staying here for all of my business trips to Capitol Hill.

Pros: Breakfast, gym, and location

Pros: Friendly staff

Cons: Bathroom was a little small

Pros: Location was great. Staff friendly and helpful. Very Clean. Nice breakfast included.

Cons: Rooms didn't have adequate plugs. Bathrooms cramped and door didn't close, so no privacy if traveling with anyone.

Pros: Spectacular rooms for the price! I will forever stay here when visiting D.C.

Cons: Not child safe and the view...not much to see looking out the windows.

Pros: kitchen

Cons: primitive staff. I asked for two beds and they forced me to pay for the second. If this was not possible to have the second bed for free there should be information sent to me on this. It was late to tell me about this when I already got there.

Pros: Location, location! Close to Capitol hill and the Metro. The staff helped me recover important documents and money left in an open safe.

Cons: The increase in price for our third night.

Pros: you can go on foot to all the musea

Cons: in the morning the light was coming through ...

Cons: I don't think that the sheets on my bed had been changed between the last guests and my arrival. I don't require that they be changed frequently during my own stay, but the should be changed between guests. Also, the place had a general "aging" atmosphere about it.

Pros: location is great in terms of access to metro, restaurant and cafes; Area feels safe; reasonably priced

Cons: it is pretty run down and for a stay longer than a couple of nights this may be a bit annoying.

Pros: The location of the hotel and ease of getting around the city using the METRO that was a block from the hotel.

Pros: The general atmosphere is agreeable and the employees are competent. The woman in charge of the breakfast room is especially pleasant and helpful.

Cons: No.

Pros: Great location. Very spacious room, loved the walk-in wardrobe, good option for anyone staying more than a couple of nights

Cons: Bathroom needing refurbishment (I believe that this is about to happen as part of an upgrade). Pillows quite small - more like cushions - not especially comfortable

Pros: size of room

Pros: The hotel was clean and close to the Union Station. Staff was friendly. Overall it's a nice hotel.

Cons: The restaurant was not appealing. Not many closeby restaurants or shops. No convenience stores nearby. Walmart is about 15 minute walk which is not far, but I'm not sure if it's safe to walk at night. There is a liquor store across the street, but it's not a convenience store so the items are limited. No refrigerator in the room.

Pros: Comfortable hotel with a friendly staff !

Cons: Only complaint is the pool was supposed to be open late , but two of our three nights there it closed almost two hours early.

Pros: Quiet even though we were on lower floor and overlooked front of building. Great location.

Cons: Restaurant (breakfast) food just ok.

Pros: Location

Cons: Found a roach in the bed! Parking was very expensive.

Pros: All staffs are super nice, excellent location and easy to find parking on the street

Cons: The room smells hearvy smoke

Pros: We upgraded at check-in for an extra $50 which doubled the space. The location is excellent as it's walking distance to several sites. The fitness center is excellent and is included in the price of the room.

Cons: Lack of parking requires you to valet for $56 a day. If you are somebody that needs a great view you won't find it here.

Pros: We could see the bottom floor of the capital from our room! We walked to the museums; the in-out valet parking worked great. Everyone was greatly.

Cons: Handing me a sack of terrible food at my door is not room service.

Pros: The room was nice until we looked out the window and found we had a great view of the roof... (sarcasm)

Cons: Valet constantly begging for tips. Being from Vegas I tip almost excessively however if someone begs for it or nearly has his hand out the entire time it is not coming. It's called a gratuity for a reason. Then when delivering the vehicle no opening the trunk, and doesn't return the seat to where they found it or at least close. Not much effort in valet.

Pros: We were traveling with our two daughters and three babies ( all under three). Everyone was very helpful. Everyone tried to assist us and we felt very comfortable. Location is also a plus.

Cons: No complaints

Pros: good staff

Cons: Pool way too small,add a steam room

Pros: Close to Union Station & transportation choices. Price was reasonable for Washington DC The room was maintained in such clean condition (hint: make sure you tip the chambermaids if their service was good) it was nice to come back at the end of the day & just crash in a nice room. The room was quiet, it faced a office building, so there was no activity during the weekend around the facing building. There was no noise from other rooms.

Cons: Very expensive incidentals: water, snacks, etc. Buy these up at the Walgreens @ Union Station.

Pros: The location is perfect, near to train station and major tour points. The staff was kind and helpful. The room is comfy and spotless.

Pros: The location to the Washington attractions was very good. The value of the room was good., but the parking was very expensive.

Cons: The food was very expensive, you would think that they would want to keep people in the hotel to eat but because of the prices many people choice to eat out.

Pros: customer services very polite, staffs are excellent to please customers, afternoon tea/coffee does show their hospitality

Pros: breakfast buffet, swimming pool, location of the hotel

Cons: absence of mini bar in the room

Pros: everybody was more than helpful even the cleaning ladies were very friendly.

Pros: The employee at the front desk, Colleen was extremely helpful. the hosts in the Regency Club were very nice and attentive as well.

Cons: Hotel rooms were not very clean. Mold in bathroom. Housekeeper for our room was not very thorough. We broke a glass and swept it behind the toilet, she left it there. Never vacuumed until I requested it (after 5 days)

Pros: Very kind to my 3 year old all the staffers i interacted with. One of the valet parkers very crude in his language.Just requires coaching on the how to present Hyatt.

Cons: Valet staff should be trained on the how to present.

Pros: open, airy lobby, and self check out, quiet room

Pros: First of all of course the great professionalism combined with hospitality of all the hotel staff, secondly the location of the hotel close to Union Station and the Capitol, and last but not least the facilities of the hotel itself, like gym, pool, and restaurant.

Cons: Our hotel room did not have a refrigerator/mini-bar.That is for a hotel being ambitioned to be a five-star-hotel a little bit sub-standard.

Pros: The hotel is conveniently located, the staff is excellent, the rooms are clean and comfortable. Qverall a good experience.

Cons: The food in the restaurant was not up the level of the hotel.
