    This boutique hotel is one of my favorite hotel stays. The location is about a 10-15 minute walk to the White House. It is located near all of the embassies, great restaurants, and coffee shops. It is a safe and walkable neighborhood. The staff at the desk, the doorman, and wait staff in the restaurant were so friendly and accommodating to requests. The hotel is secure with room keys being needed to access elevators. There is also a gym and coffee shop on sight. I had a king city view room. It had a great amount of space with comfortable chair and desk, refrigerator, and coffee maker. My view was over the front entrance looking out to the Hungary Embassy. The hotel smelled wonderful, my room was very clean, and the bathroom was well appointed. It had the best hotel shower I have had! The robes were very comfy. The restaurant on site was great at breakfast and dinner. The evening free happy hour cocktails in the lobby were delicious and varied nightly over the 3 nights I stayed. Valet parking was available for $60 per night. I definitely recommend this hotel! If I travel back to the area, I will definitely stay here again.

    The Darcy is displaying legos of DC buildings decked out for the holidays. They had little cards and a ballot box. Located off the lobby on your way to the bar. It was a fun pit stop.

    Honestly, one of my favorite hotels I've stayed at, not just saying that for the good price I got. The vibe is chill, and the rooms are pretty. The staff are also quite nice and accommodating. It also feels very safe considering you need a key card to work the elevators inside. They have a little cocktail hour between 5-5:30 where you receive a complimentary espresso drink if you head down into the lobby. The drink itself tastes great, very coffee forward, but nothing that packs too much of a punch alcohol or flavor wise. It is smooth and quite refreshing. While there isn't really much of a view, I didn't mind considering I was only staying for a few days and wanting to explore the streets more than hang around in the room. The room I stayed in was nice, it was a comfy bed with soft linens and had a lot of charging ports on the side tables. They are environmentally friendly, making sure to make the beds but not change them every day unless you place one of their notes on the sheets. Their robes were also comfy to lounge in after a shower, they are more like towel robes, and while big on me, they almost didn't fit my boyfriend. If you take them home with you they'll charge you $80 per robe though! The shower supplies they provide you with are argan oil based, and they leave you feeling smooth, which is nice. They also have a little bathroom care kit with a cotton swab and balls as well as a nail file. My bathroom didn't have a fan, but I don't know if other rooms wouldn't either. The bathroom itself felt a little cramped, fitting two people in the shower and space in general was claustrophobic, I wonder how the accessible bathrooms compare. The lighting in the bathroom wasn't the best either, I'm used to mirrors with lights built in around the perimeter in hotels, or blinding LEDs installed so this was more casual lighting. Isn't the best if you are doing makeup. There is a big tall mirror in the room as well though. They have an iron in the closet, and a cute little cocktail setting for drinks on the desk. The cocktail setting included a shaker, a bottle opener, wine and water glasses, and, of course, an ice bucket. Their tv was limited to certain apps, which was a little disappointing, but I don't mind cable. The apps included Netflix, Pandora, YouTube, and a bluetooth option for if you want your own music. They do have room service, but I found it a little pricey, and a 20% gratuity will automatically be charged as well. Cheapest thing was a croissant for $4 or $6 I think. The carpet itself is a cool design and looks new and clean, which was refreshing to notice. Parking itself is a separate charge, $60 for overnight, and $25 during the day. I parked at a One Parking lot right up the street for cheaper since I wasn't going to be using my car much while in town. Their prices were $30 for 24 hours, but of course you can't go in and out without paying each time. I meant to visit their gym before I left, but I had to leave abruptly due to unforeseen circumstances. I got there at around 3:30 pm and next day checked out at about 7 pm, which I asked if there was any way I could get a refund for the night in any shape or form, since I was supposed to stay there that night as well. They were very nice and told me they would be able to refund me for that night and I would only be charged for the one night I slept there. I was able to grab my things and leave right after, and sure enough, a day later my funds were cut from the final cost of staying there, and I got my return. Walking wise it was very walkable, there's a Johnny Rocket's right next door, cafes and restaurants for cheap 20-30 minutes away, as well as a Safeway nearby. If you like dogs, there are tons walking around as well. They also have a pet-friendly policy allowing dogs of certain weight with no upcharge, which is great if I ever need a place to stay with my dog. I'd come here again next time for sure if I ever need to be in this area!

    I spent two nights at this hotel during a client event. After staying at a big box hotel in Las Vegas, the previous week, it was so wonderful to come to a boutique location that had a terrific fitness center, attentive, staff, good food, comfortable rooms, and an upscale feel. I will come back to this hotel on my next DC visit.

    I'm really surprised the ratings aren't higher! This was a fantastic hotel and I am so pleased with my stay. From the moment I arrived to the moment I left, the staff was so amazing, friendly, and helpful. The housekeepers, front desk, restaurant/bar, and door people were all incredible. I stayed here with coworkers for a work event and one of them recommended this hotel. I'm very happy with the suggestion. It's a cute boutique hotel and I loved how moody and eclectic it felt. The rooms were nice m-sized with king-sized beds, a desk, flat screen TV, mini fridge, glassware and wine opener, illy coffee machine, and a safe. The bathrooms are definitely small, so don't plan on getting ready side-by-side with your partner. I didn't get a chance to see the gym but a coworker said it was pretty nice and had a couple of Pelotons. The restaurant doesn't serve lunch but had a nice menu with vegan options for breakfast -- I didn't get dinner, but they have happy hour from 4-6pm and had a good mix of beverages. The bartender made me a fantastic jalapeño margarita mocktail. The location is really great and you're within a reasonable walking distance of many bars and restaurants. Other sites, like the White House and Washington monument isn't too far if you like walking. My only complaint would be hearing some of my neighbors coughing and making a bit of noise during the night. Maybe keep the AC fan going if you need it.

    Had a work event and conference here and it did not disappoint! The eclectic decoration gives you a vintage vibe but in a clean, modern setting! The rooms were spacious, clean and the beds were great! For the conference, the food was delicious (charcuterie boards, homemade hummus and pita, spring rolls, feta and watermelon and empanadas). The staff is absolutely the nicest and most accommodating people! 10:10 recommend!

    Had a two night stay here in early October and it went smoothly - really friendly and responsive staff, clean rooms, centrally located, and reasonably priced. There's so much to see and do in DC that I didn't check out the gym or the restaurant, but it's good to know that the hotel has them, and other amenities, available. One thing to note is that your Uber/Lyft drivers may find getting exactly to the Darcy roundabout a bit difficult since Rhode Island Ave NW is a pretty busy street that leads to a roundabout. Also, the roundabout is small and can be full of cars for guests being dropped off/picked up. My friend stayed at this hotel, too, and we'd often either just walk or scooter to various places. If, however, we took Uber/Lyft, we'd walk across the street down Corregidor St NW and that was always a less stressful pick-up point.

    Very nice. Had breakfast: Avocado toast, side of bacon, side of chicken sausage, coffee and orange juice. $53.22 including breakfast service charge and tax. Server was excellent: #1027 Rachid. Tipped @ 25% gladly.

    The Darcy was clean and the staff were very nice. They all helped and never seemed too busy to get what we needed. Usually it takes a while to get something up to your room but they were surprisingly quick. The decor was beautiful and classy. The restaurant GSK wasn't my favorite but the coffee shop was great! Walkable to everything to see, monuments, museums, grocery and food!

    Stayed here during Otakon!!!!... checked in a bit late because we went to several events!!...found out Valet parking is $60 a night here but street parking on weekends are free iiiiif you find a spot . 200.00 incidental fee and some other fee is 60 something!...The Bed was very comfortable!! our bathroom was pretty compact but cute! The shower was small but cute!! There's absolutely NO microwave which was sad because we had to eat the food immediately while it was still hot! Because cold Chinese just isn't the way!!!... The Hot water works!!! The more you turned it to cold it got scalding but you can adjust it to your liking!.. the Argan Oil brand Shampoo/conditioner/Shower Gel smells amaaaazing!!.. you can adjust your shower power!! (When you turn it on it first rushes out very cold ugh then gets hot!!. I didn't mind but some ppl might want the shower power force to be more calm! . Sonita was very nice,pleasant she was very helpful with anything that we needed held conversation a bit as well very much a chill vibe aura about Her. Overall I'd definitely return here .

    The moment we stepped foot at the Darcy Hotel we were greeted by a very warm staff . We stayed during Labor Day weekend and had the best experience . And let me tell you , they greeted us every time we stepped off the elevator and returned back to the hotel , no matter the time or day . That left a great impression for us. We felt welcomed and appreciated just by that small gesture . Everyone from the doorman & front desk were friendly and accommodating. The location was perfect as everything was walking distance from all of the places we visited . We hardly even had to book an Uber because the Darcy was literally close to everything . I highly recommend booking with Darcy. Their modern flare & upscale decor is beautiful and the rooms are super clean. This is the perfect hotel for young couples ! The King bed was so comfortable and we loved the robes that came with the room. We can't wait to check out DC again and we will be booking here from here on out.

    Should I pay additional fee if I put my cokes into fridge?

    I'm not certain if they charge for using the fridge, but if you are that concern, then just fill a bucket with ice and use that to keep your soda cool

    What's the WiFi passcode in this thing?

    It should be printed on your hotel room card holder that they give you when you first check in.

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.
