Top National Geographic Museum Hotel Reviews

District Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"When booking was curious to what I would find. I am impressed!! It may look dated, but it is clean! They are always cleaning. The staff are ALL helpful! I am happy with it and would stay again!!"

Club Quarters Hotel White House, Washington DC

10/10 Excellent

"Room was clean, hotel in a convenient location right next to the metro and bus stops and the staff was super friendly. Small mixup getting a room when I arrived (at 2am), but the receptionist got it cleared up and I was very grateful. Great location, and good for solo travelers"

Moxy Washington DC Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was awesome! Everything clean and vibes were on point. Only thing is the sandbars game in the lobby could use some TLC"

State Plaza Hotel

8/10 Good

"The location to the main areas of attraction and the metro was excellent. The desk staff and housekeepers were efficient, polite, and professional. We arrived early, but there was a room available, so we were able to settle in at that time. We booked a king bed without kitchen; we got a double queen with kitchen. That was fine with us. The room was a bit outdated but clean; the shower had some mold but not a deal breaker. The room was located near the front desk, elevator, and stairs, so it was a bit noisy at times, however, we were out most of the day. We ate dinner at the hotel restaurant one night and the food was delicious. There aren’t many dine-in restaurants within a half mile walk of the hotel. Circa, near the Foggy Bottom metro, was excellent. We would stay the hotel again."

Le Meridien Washington, D.C., The Madison

10/10 Excellent

"Comfortable beds. Great drinks at the bar."

The Darcy Hotel

8/10 Good

"The Darcy is nice enough, but the bathrooms and hallways are quite small and the mattresses (I was in room 438) are a bit saggy and overly soft. I will probably try another place next time. But the location and staff are very good."

Hotel Lombardy

8/10 Good

"The room were very clean and well maintained. Unfortunately, some of their amenities are outdated, for example the TV. Overall good hotel, good location and quick access to everything DC have to offer. They just need some minor updates. Also, the addition of microwaves will be a great addition."

The Westin Washington, D.C. City Center

10/10 Excellent

"This is my second time staying at The Westin on M st NW; both experiences have been perfect from check in to check out. The mini fridge wasn’t working in my room and was promptly fixed, staff was very friendly and professional. The restaurant was great again, Donna behind the bar was professional, knowledgeable and friendly. 10/10 recommend, I will be making this my go-to hotel for DC trips!"
