Top Washington Hotel Reviews

Hamilton Hotel Washington DC

Hamilton Hotel Washington DC

10/10 Excellent
"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Hamilton. Checkin was easy and quick (midnight arrival helped). Room was clean and spacious, bed comfortable, shower good. Only criticism is that the air cond unit was a bit noisy. We had a lovely view over the square. Washington is very walkable and we were able to access the Mall and museums as well as restaurants, cafes, dining and public transport if you prefer. We were very happy with our decision to stay at the Hamilton."
