I stayed here for 4 nights on my third work trip to DC this year. From the outside, I thought the hotel looked pretty nice/modern. So I was shocked by how old-school my room looked. I was still fine with my stay and enjoyed the shower and quick elevators.

The view of the capital at night was beautiful. Overall the hotel was pretty good. My room was somewhat dated but the bed was comfy enough and bathroom had a bath tub which is a plus after long training!

This hotel is in a fabulous spot (you can see the capital) and the rooms are quite large for the city. That's where the comforts end. You will be nickel/dimed the rest. There is only Valet, no self parking. There are no Self luggage carts. Service seems to be interested in anything but you. Even if you are a diamond there is no check in water. The only Bar closed at 8:52 on a Saturday. Outrageous! (They want $70 a bottle of cheap wine in the Sundries shop) The rooms are preset to their version of 67 and can not be changed. I posted a pic of the unit. Perhaps someone knows an override? This is a city hotel so you can expect some of these things. Would I stay here again? Only for the convenience and only if I am getting the room cheap. Thank goodness a great bar/restaurant was around the corner.

I stayed here while visiting for a wedding. I am a Hilton Honors member so I got some great service. I had people check in daily from the hotel with my satisfaction. The hotel is located nearby a ton of places - other hotels, restaurants, liquor stores, etc. We were able to walk to all locations we wanted to go to over the weekend. The Capitol Building was less than a half hour walk which was amazing. Upon entry, the view in the hotel was absolutely beautiful. The check in and out times were perfect. We got to check in early with no hassle. It was in a safe part of DC. The rooms were neat, clean, and spacious. Easy controls for temperature and the bathroom was stocked with plenty of towels and usual amenities. Everyone was friendly and the service was amazing. Downsides were no breakfast included, one unlabeled and difficult to find ice machine, and limited meal options. I bundled the hotel with flights but it was very affordable. I would definitely come back and stay here if I visit DC again.

Construction ongoing! (March 2023)

Excellent location, close to Union metro station and train stations. Within walking distance to Capitol Hill, Library of Congress, and also Chinatown, Capital One Arena, and National Portrait Gallery. National Postal Museum is a five-minute walk away and a pleasant surprise for us; we didn't expect to enjoy it as much as we did! Highly recommend going there as it's likely not as crowded as the other museums. The two dining establishments serve excellent food too. Classy but not fussy! Friendly servers and staff. There's a little mini market by the Registration counter; you pay for your purchases at the counter. The hotel was under renovation when we checked in. Bedroom was basic but clean and comfortable. We didn't have any views though but that's ok since we didn't come to DC to spend time in our room anyway!

Nice room.

I had a great 3-night stay at the Hilton Washington DC. We arrived early to DC but we're able to check into our room early. The room was nice and clean with a large comfy king bed, plenty of storage space, a nice desk and lighting. The shower was a bit finicky to switch between the faucet and shower head. There was construction going on in the lobby and restaurant. Regardless, this did not interrupt our stay. The hotel is centrally located. You can see the Capitol building from the street and the National Mall is a quick Uber ride away. The weather was great so we ended up walking there. Overall a great place to stay during your time in DC!

For about a month or two I was not having the best of luck when it came to travel. It kind of hit a peak here. I was in town for a work thing and was being put up here. It was convenient, especially since I knew the area pretty well. Being that I was out of town for work and being put up here, it was all taken care of on their end. This is where the mix up started. Upon check in I was only responsible for necessities. But the hotel wanted to charge me the whole amount for the room for my stay. There was a lot of back and forth between me, the staff, and who set up the room. Once that was figured out I thought I would be good. Finally, with key in hand, I went up to my room. Now, I thought check in was a hassle, but what happened next just made it so much more of a hassle. I get off the elevator, make my way to the room, scan the keycard, and open the door to a surprise. Turns out I was just checked into a room that was already occupied. Once I opened the door I was greeted with a suitcase opened on the bed with all it's contents all over as well. I never met who the owner of the suitcase was...why...well, because they were in the shower, in the bathroom. So I just noped my way out of there and headed my way back down to the front desk. Funny thing when I headed back down to the front desk, the staffer was not as amused as I was at that point. See, when I headed up to the room and after the initial check in fiasco we joked about the confusion and I had said if anything else would go wrong I would let him know. He said that he was done in ten minutes and it would be someone else's problem. Well, my amusement translated to his surprise. When I informed him why I was back down there, he did not believe me at first. I don't know the specifics about why this happened, but it could have been that someone had checked another person into what was to be my room. To make things right, which I was not looking for, I was just looking to get to my room and drop my stuff off, they upgraded me. Now when you think about it, in DC that isn't much. I got upgraded to a room on a higher floor with a Capitol view. They also wanted to comp a meal or something while I was there (I did not use this, I hardly had time to have a meal in house or order room service). My Capitol view, was basically a view of the dome and all the rooftops of the nearby buildings and buildings looking towards the Capitol. The room was bigger than what I was expecting. Decent sized and plenty of space to throw my stuff about. Tons of outlets to accommodate all my electronics I brought with me. The bathroom was even big, not like other hotels. The only thing that was smaller than normal was the closet. It also was hard to open, so I just put my suitcase behind the door since there was ample space. The TV swiveled out and was able to be angled to wherever you were sitting in the room. I really enjoyed the headboard light, it gave the perfect amount of glow to make the room comfortable to fall asleep. As for the rest of the experience, it was enjoyable. The staff were all really great to interact with. Some of my colleagues ran into some troubles. One that decided to park at the hotel, which was valet parking, had to park himself, but pay the valet rate. That doesn't seem right. After check out, I was good. I reassured the front desk I didn't need anything comped and made my way out.

New bar area.
Stacy H.

I stay at this hotel often. Hilton has done major upgrades to this property. Completely redesigned the lobby, added the pantry and moved the bar to a more central location. Nice views of the capital. The rooms are large and comfortable. Comfortable beds. Convenient to many locales in the city.

Upon Entering Lobby Area
Michele R.

We had a great experience here. Room was clean and spacious. Staff was friendly, courteous and helpful. Would definitely stay again.

Bed bug bites
Bill N.

Yikes, bed bugs! Eaten alive by one of the biggest names in hospitality. 3rd floor room adjoined a noisy meeting space, thin walls and boisterous people everywhere. Hilton could not move me because they were fully booked. As if that weren't enough, the restaurant food was awful. The only exception a sirloin steak served in the bar area. Otherwise menu items hardly, barely matched descriptions on the menu. Looking at you "Griddled" breakfast sandwich...pfft Reconsidering my Honors membership. Will try another hotel in the future.

King room
Ann L.

I was in town for a work meeting and they arranged for us to stay here instead of a nearby hotel where we usually stay and this was an upgrade. The room was quiet and comfortable with an excellent walk in shower with plenty of hot water. The wifi was decent and there was a comfortable chair to relax, The only problem with the room was that the lighting was not great. There are lights over the end tables next to the bed and soft lighting along the headboard of the bed, and then only one task lamp over the table. There wasn't enough light to read or work in the comfy chair and the table had chairs that were not good for short people- way too deep and the height was not adjustable. In other words, really nowhere to work other than in a dim corner of the room or on the bed. The fitness room on the 3rd floor was basic but good. Staff were friendly and helpful. The location is great; it's a short walk to Union Station Metro stop and very close to the Capitol and all the museums.

That jetted tub was supposed to earn its keep. The room: genuinely beautiful. The technology: aggressively dated. The vibe: a 90s time capsule, complete with missing doorknobs. There was effort here, but it felt like the hotel was holding its breath, afraid any real investment might trigger the next recession. What they got right: The bellhops were fantastic. Warm, personable, fun. Truly the highlight. Most staff we interacted with were polite and willing to help, which made the gaps elsewhere even more confusing. What they got wrong (beyond the dated room and tech): For a hotel that loudly advertises luxury service, the customer experience fell flat. Outside of the arrival bowl of fruit, nothing felt elevated. Night two, we ordered pizza and planned a cozy Home Alone movie night. The technology made streaming impossible. Fine, cable it is. We called the concierge and asked for two plates. Just two. The answer was a flat no. We were told to walk down to the lobby restaurant and see if they might have plates "to spare." I'm sorry, what? The next morning, room service arrived... with someone else's order. It was corrected, but for a luxury hotel, that kind of miss is surprising. Housekeeping came through, but only halfway. The coffee and minibar were never restocked. In a suite. At a luxury hotel. This is table stakes. At 9:30 PM we stopped by the lobby circle bar. It was immediately clear the bartenders did not want to be there. I get it, service work is hard. Still, opening our interaction by warning us about last call at 11 set a strange tone. By 10:00, one bartender disappeared for 45 minutes. No refills. No check-in. No bill. Breaks are important. Coverage is also important, especially when you're selling a premium experience. Beyond the bellhops, much of the staff felt irritated to be present. Front desk to concierge, the energy was less "historic luxury hotel" and more "counting down the minutes." The hotel was also clearly prioritizing weekend tea and brunch revenue, to the point that the historic lobby was clogged with extra tables and largely unusable for actual hotel guests. Bottom line: this was not a luxury experience, and I would not recommend it. I'm only posting this publicly because I reached out directly to hotel management and never received a response. At that point, a review feels necessary.

Too bad stored blankets were unavailable for sleepers wanting more warmth than their traveling companions. We had to make a second request for one. May I also suggest providing more than one bar of mini soap bars. It's such a minuscule cost item but would obviate having to repeatedly move the precious one bar from sink to shower. We found the valet staff particularly helpful especially when navigating awkward arrivals and parking needs of our personal guests. Sean was a prince. He supervised an otherwise complicated set of logistics with competence and gentlemanly grace. Another shout out to the manager ( sou?) of the breakfast dining. We watched him rigorously oversee staff and guests while occasionally stepping in when helpful. His leadership is likely responsible for the professionalism of said staff. This is in direct contrast to the staff of the Willard across the street where we took the first breakfast of our stay. We were dismayed to have to endure extremely loud staff socializing, boisterous laughter and downright flirting. This type of behavior would have been unacceptable at the JWMarriott. This experience alone confirms our future choice of Marriott over Willard for annual DC visits.

Traveling can be exhausting, and during our stay, my son Colin often went down to the bar and restaurant on his own in the evenings and mornings. What stood out to me wasn't just the quality of the food or service--it was how the staff treated him. Every single time, he was met with kindness, respect, and genuine warmth. He ordered his meals, sat comfortably, enjoyed his time, and never once felt awkward or out of place. The staff made sure he had what he needed, checked in on him naturally, and created an environment where he felt completely at ease. As a parent, that level of care is something you never forget. For me, the experience was just as special. Corey, the bartender, was exceptional. Each evening, he made sure I had exactly what I wanted, when I wanted it, and engaged in thoughtful, easy conversation that made the space feel welcoming and safe. It wasn't just service--it was connection, and it made a long, tiring trip feel restorative. This hotel doesn't just deliver luxury--it delivers humanity. The staff understands how to read people, how to make guests feel comfortable, and how to create an atmosphere where everyone feels like they belong. I've stayed in many beautiful hotels, but this experience stands apart because of how we were treated as people. Thank you to the entire team--and especially Corey--for making this such a memorable stay. We will absolutely be back.

The vibes are opulent- the Peacock Alley is located in the grand lobby, which is massive and airy with a glass ceiling overhead to let in tons of natural light. A harpist also set the mood beautifully, but they didn't stay for very long- they maybe stayed about 30 minutes past our 3:30pm tea appointment. Tea services are offered at 12:00 noon and 3:30pm. The central cherry blossom tree is the showstopper, and the main reason I chose the Waldorf for our afternoon tea. I had heard that there are several cherry blossom-themed afternoon teas all over DC that may have better food options, but this was the only one with decor this grand. My main concern was with our seating. I had called ahead of time to ask if they could accommodate my group to have a close seating location close to the cherry blossom tree due to our special occasion. The staff assured me during two separate calls that they would be able to accommodate our request, but upon getting seated, we were seated in the far corner by the bar. It is true that there is a fair view of the cherry blossom tree everywhere in the lobby, but I was disappointed at our far vantage point given the fact that I had called to confirm a close spot to the cherry blossom tree twice in advance. This is because I wanted to originally schedule the premium experience (premium seating, champagne, and fine china), but it was not available to groups larger than 4 and we were a group of 6. The service was otherwise perfectly fine and the portions of food were generous and tasty. We were all definitely full after finishing our savory bites. Our collective favorites were the chicken cherryaki and crab beignet bites, but we all appreciated the diverse offerings. We also had a friend with a peanut allergy dining with us, and they accommodated her easily by separating her pastries onto a separate tiered tray. It looks like the only item with a possible nut allergen was the crab beignet (her version had tofu). Despite the mild issues with seating, the experience was gorgeous. As a cherry blossom lover, I can see myself doing this every time I'm back in town. - Ambiance: 5/5 - Service: 4/5 - Food: 4/5
