The Dupont Circle Hotel

8/10 Good

"Good food and location. Room spacious and walk in shower."

Hamilton Hotel Washington DC

8/10 Good

"Friendly bar"

The Baron Hotel

8/10 Good

"We're lucky there was no show that night. Room small, bed against the wall and a bit cramped. Waterpressure took a while to build up. But good for the price."

Hotel Rendale Washington DC

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel was very clean and staff very pleasant to deal with. They helped us navigate a complicated check-in and reservation! Lighting in room was too dim to read--maybe an overhead light would help? But all in all very happy with facility! Recommend this place."

Dupont Circle Embassy Inn by FOUND

8/10 Good

"It servesis"

The Royal Sonesta Washington DC Dupont Circle

8/10 Good

"Good location - rooms large and spacious"

The LINE Hotel DC

10/10 Excellent

"This was my second stay here and I love the neighborhood. So many great food options within walking distance. Soleluna is a favorite. The hotel has nice, clean rooms and spacious bathrooms. Keep in mind that noise levels at night can be annoying but I didn't mind. Light sleepers might have issues. I also love the Cowshed products they have in rooms. Some staff are more helpful than others but mostly great. I prefer staying here than downtown. And walking to the red line to get downtown isn't bad or you can easily take a bus."

Windsor Inn Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"An Amazing boutique hotel tucked away in the Fabulous quiet neighborhood of 16th st Nw. Steps from fine dining and the picturesque Meredian Hill Park. Well polished property, friendly staff and clean rooms and nice outdoor patio at the front of the hotel and assorted tea and coffee in a quaint Lobby Will definetly return for another longer stay"
