Top National Theatre Hotel Reviews

The Henley Park Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Very helpful staff. Great service."

Hamilton Hotel Washington DC

10/10 Excellent

"Great location. Restaurant staff was very nice and accomodating. Street noise was a lot. Close to fire station and also lots of horn honking in the street at night. Recommend not getting room with park view. Metro very close and convenient. Would stay here again."

Hilton Garden Inn Washington DC/U.S. Capitol

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were all great! Cassandra and Millie were so hospitable and caring each morning when we went to breakfast. They really made us feel welcome! They deserve a raise 😀. From the front desk, cleaning and other staff, all were just, awesome!"

Motto by Hilton Washington DC Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Loved my stay! Felt like i was at home. Staff was super nice & my room was clean. Will definitely be back. :)"

Holiday Inn Express Washington DC Downtown by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"This stay was wonderful! The staff was incredibly helpful and kind. Our room was just right after a day of exploring DC. We only had breakfast one of our days and it was busy but the variety of food was great and the busyness only speaks to how good the breakfast was. I definitely recommend staying here. It’s a little further out from the DC landmarks so if you have a family plan on seeking transportation options for the sights but the hotel itself is close to great shops and great food options all within walking distance. I felt very safe and well cared for as a mom traveling with children."

Conrad Washington, DC

10/10 Excellent

"I had a great stay here! At first, I was concerned that it was going to be noisy because my room was off of the central atrium, but it was not. My room was a nice size, and having a desk I could work at was great. I would stay here again in a heartbeat!"

Willard InterContinental Washington by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel! Wonderful experience"

Hotel Washington

8/10 Good

"The location is excellent to proximity to key DC tourist sites. The hotel does charge additional "fees" that I was not aware of when originally booked and prepaid for. The "fees" are not the hotel's fault apparently they are city tourist fees. But unexpected. The hotel staff was excellent and helpful with all the million questions I asked since it was my first time in DC. They accommodated some unique requests by my travel companions at all hours and we were extremely thankful. The hotel restaurants are very pricey, but all the restaurants in that area are because of the location so be aware when budgeting. I would definitely stay there again."
