Fantastic room and convenient for walking to lots of shops and dining. However, there is a restaurant below rooms that has lots of people talking late into morning hours

Historic charm
Great location in a quirky boutique historic building adjacent to the Georgetown canal. Small comfortable room is all you need to explore the heart of the historic commercial district. You will be amongst a lot of urban activity and sidewalk chatter but area is quiet overnight. Steps away from great food, shopping and sightseeing. Not for those who prefer generic chain hotels.

The Georgetown House was a wonderful place to stay right in the heart of Georgetown. The check in process was unlike anything else I had done before and it was a little unclear before getting to the property, but it was easy and self explanatory once I arrived. Having access to the shared kitchen was super helpful and much appreciated! I would definitely stay there again.

Our new go-to in Georgetown.
Small, cute, historic property located so centrally that everything is right out your door. Easy check in outside the property. Great room at a great price. Not sure why you'd want to stay anywhere else, unless you just want to pay more?

Really great location and convenience for a visit in Georgetown. Watch your head if you’re tall, however: sloping ceilings, men, I bang my head on the ceiling repeatedly. But otherwise a great step.

Check-in is using a kiosk outside the door. It didn’t work. Tried several times and received ‘communication issue.’ I had to go back to my booking to find a phone number to call. Met several other guests that had the same issue. Knowing this was an issue, someone should have been onsite, reached out with further instructions or at least post a phone number at the kiosk. Very disappointing and just unacceptable.

Clean and nice cozy spot to stay. Room was very clean. Parking is a bit of a nightmare but that’s all of DC really, no dedicated parking. Expect to hunt for meters and garages. Walls are thin, you’ll hear your neighbors and they’ll hear you. Aside from those cons, I didn’t mind it.

The kiosk gave us the wrong code and I called 5x before someone picked up and then verbally gave me the code. Checkin in the 21st century should not be this ridiculous

I was a little hesitant choosing this little gem based on some reviews about noise but now it will be my go to place to stay in Georgetown. Lock #6 was perfect, close to everything yet quiet and had all the travel essentials including two bottles of water. As an added bonus the price was less than anything else I could find in the area. I’ll definitely recommend The Georgetown House to friends and family.

Gorgeous little hotel that overlooks the canal. Very romantic. It even has a little balcony you can sit on and have your morning coffee. Very clean and safe. Georgetown restaurants at the waterfront less than a block away. In the heart of Georgetown where you can shop if needed. Rooms are not gigantic but they are comfortable and modern. Bed and bedsheets are wonderful. Highly recommend.

If you want to sleep, avoid room #4 ! You will be like in the street. There is a warning about the old house that is not soundproof. But the problem is not inside, but outside! The hotel has installed two armchairs and a table on the sidewalk just under your window. It’s great for people to sit and chat and call and eat pizzas. They are like inside your room. In fact, after midnight you can sleep if you are lucky, not before…!

We came in from out of town for a local wedding within walking distance. We booked a room that listed a queen size bed and canal view with porch seating area. We were given room "lock 7" once we booked. When we went to self check in we were unable to and had to call for support. The number listed on the check in machine was incorrect so I had to look up the correct number. We were then helped by someone who gave us our code to check in. However, we were given room "lock 3" which was a much different experience than the room we paid for. It was located in the basement with a small double bed and barely any room to move.The window facing the canal was too high to see out of and we had to keep it closed the entire stay because there was a bench right outside of it that passer goers were constantly sitting on. If the curtains were open they would have had a clear view of our bed. I called the staff back to see why we were not in room 7 and were told that it was "out of commission" and she began checking us out of our room without even asking if that is what we wanted. I had to stop her from checking us out and told her that the room would be fine... Mostly because we had nowhere else to go. After getting to our wedding we began talking with another couple to realize that they were in "Lock 7" and had the EXACT same experience as us. They showed us their room which was much larger, nicer, and had a better view. I'm disappointed we didn't get the room we paid for.

I would stay here again! I read reviews about it being loud, but I didn’t hear anything during my whole stay. I had a room on the end (#7), so that might have contributed to the quiet. Felt safe too as a solo traveler!

Thin wall
The location of the hotel is fantastic, very close to everything (the coffee shops, restaurants and shopping). The room was clean and we are right next to the canal. However, the walls are very thin and during our stay the room next door was playing loud music until close to 4am. We called for a noise complaint but they couldn’t really do much bc no one is on site. The kiosk for self check in didn’t even work.

Great place to be right in the middle of Georgetown for an OK price. Easy to come and go. Would have liked some water in the canal but guessing the hotel can't change that!

The property was great. Very clean and well maintained. It was a great location. The only reason I wouldn't give it an A is that it is located near a w popular restaurant and it was quite noisy until 11 nut then it got very quiet. I would recommend this property without question unless this is a desl breaker for you.
