10/10 Excellent

"I liked the friendly staff. I liked the very comfortable bed in room 913. It was a very small room but honestly for me. It didn’t matter . However, for two people it would’ve been too small. If you stay in this hotel, make sure you sit with your evening beer or wine glass on the 11th floor restaurant."

citizenM Washington DC Capitol

10/10 Excellent

"Room was modern and clean, staff were friendly and helpful, easy check in, water refill station available by the bar and lots of space to relax in the upbeat and vibrant common areas. There was a garage right next door to the hotel also which I didn’t use but will keep in mind for next time."

citizenM Washington DC NoMa

8/10 Good

"I enjoyed my solo stay. The decor was bright and upbeat giving a welcoming atmosphere. The rooms were cute and compact which I haven’t experienced before but thought was so charming! Staff were helpful and friendly. Only thing I thought could use improvement was the cleanliness of the dining area & the corners of the rooms could use some dusting. Also, the iPad that you use for basically everything in the room had finger prints all over it which was kinda gross. Overall just paying closer attention to details regarding cleanliness. The important parts (bathroom, bedsheets etc) were clean which matters the most. Would stay again!"

Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: Hotels.com offers travellers a chance to save when booking accommodations in Washington. You may discover attractive offers in the DealsOpens in a new window section, while last-minute opportunities are available in the Last-Minute Deals area. To keep informed, consider enabling email alerts or push notifications to be notified of flash sales and special promotions. Furthermore, the Smart Shopping comparison tool via the app allows you to compare hotel prices and amenities, ensuring you're more likely to see any changes in availability or price drops. This approach helps you secure a timely and cost-effective getaway.
Be flexible with dates: Prices may fluctuate depending on various factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year. Therefore, being flexible with your travel dates could help you find a more affordable stay in a Washington hotel. For those in search of something distinctive, boutique hotels often provide a more personalised experience and sometimes offer better value. When you book through Hotels.com, we will inform you whether the price for your chosen dates is above or below the average. If the price is on the higher end, we may suggest alternative dates that could lead to a more budget-friendly option.
Consider your location: Opting for accommodation nearer key attractions or central areas may provide added convenience but usually comes at a higher price. For more affordable rates, consider hotels in less central areas or neighbourhoods, balancing cost with ease of access to the places you plan to visit. You might also explore independent hotels further afield, which are more likely to be affordable and offer a more authentic experience.
