4/10 Underwhelming and Shady
We enjoyed the spaciousness of the room, as well as the extra toiletries they had in the bathroom.

4/10 Better somewhere else
The location is good, but almost everything else is average or worse. No hand soap in the bathroom is crazy! We got only one robe for a double room (why even put one?), there was no way to request a room cleaning after 11 (nothing you could leave on the door to signal it), room service was prohibitively expensive (a forced gratuity plus a service fee on top), but worst of all was the process of purchasing a movie to watch. Be mindful that they don't have smart TVs, so you are forced to buy programming from their own service... which I attempted to do, unsuccessfully. The TV wouldn't let me, directing me to call front desk. I called front desk and was rotated between 3 different people who had no idea what to do, and even went as far as saying: "I don't think you can buy movies." It was kind of laughable. The bed was comfortable though! Spend your money elsewhere.

10/10 Luxury, Comfort, and the Perfect Location – A 5-Star Stay!
Exceptional Stay at The Royal Sonesta Washington DC Dupont Circle!
I had an amazing experience at The Royal Sonesta Washington DC Dupont Circle! The rooms are enormous, spotless, and beautifully designed, making for an incredibly comfortable stay. The staff was exceptionally kind and welcoming, always ready to assist with a smile.
The breakfast was fantastic, with a great selection of delicious options to start the day right. The location is unbeatable—just a short walk to the Metro and the White House, with countless restaurants, bars, and shops nearby. Whether you're visiting for business or leisure, this hotel is the perfect place to stay.
Highly recommend—I'll definitely be back!

9/10 Overall good experience
Great location. Room itself is spacious. Elevators are quick. Overall quiet in the hotel. Room furnishings are adequate just upholstered furniture starting to show a little age . Great that they don’t charge a pet fee.

8/10 Excellent Location! Can definitely be better
Overall, while the location was excellent, the experience didn’t quite live up to the typical 4-star standard. It would have been helpful if the front desk had taken a moment to explain the included benefits and available services at check-in. Additionally, the room could have been a bit cleaner—especially with the carpeted floors, which tend to show wear more easily.

6/10 Overall blah
So my daughter and I went for memorial/museum trip. I booked the spa suite because they had no 2 beds available. So I took the sofa couch. Worst couch I’ve been on ever, even just as a couch it sucked. Large wet spot by sofa when we checked it and remotes don’t work well, they take work. Also this is a spa suite, but spa doesn’t work. The portion doors are partially broken so don’t close all the way. Over than that and the front staff lack of personality the overall place was clean. Pool sucks, getting your valet car a little slow.. also no good bars/restaurants to walk to. Plan on driving or Ubering. There are wonderful restaurants near by.

8/10 Nice location with easy access to food and shops!
The rooms had plenty of space. The location was great. This hotel has an onsite restaurant, Certo, which includes a bar. They provided a credit towards food and drink onsite, which was very helpful. Very pet friendly.

9/10 Clean, comfortable, with spacious rooms.
Great clean place. Very large king room, loved the space. Affordable for DC but still quite expensive especially after you pay for parking and a roll out bed for my daughter. Was very happy with the staff and facilities though.

9/10 Great value, great location, great staff.
We really enjoyed our stay and took advantage of the hotel bikes to zip down to the mall and see the Cherry Blossom 10-mile race. Very convenient location and excellent staff. More corporate than our usual boutique hotel of choice but the cost and location won us over. Hotel should seriously rethink calling their gym/fitness center a “sculpting studio.”

7/10 How comfortable was.
Every employees at this hotel did more quickly than I had expected! For instance, When I asked an employee there about a festival so that I wanted to know about the festival, he searched as soon as possible! That was helpful for me!!

8/10 Very good
Staff is lovely, helpful, and always ready to offer a smile and a hand. The gym being open 24h is a great add, and the rooms are quite spacious.

10/10 Big and comfortable room to stay in DC
Really comfortable room, the spa bathtub was big enough for two people. We will definitely come back if we come to Washington. It is a little bit far to go walking to the national mall but at least there is public transport options. Also there are different restaurants around for any budget.

4/10 No good
Bathroom toilet was not working properly had to go to lobby to use bathroom. Sold out no other rooms. 2 night stay and they only wanted to comp destination fees and valet —not happy and told them and they didn’t seem to care. Talked to others in hotel that had tub water problems as well. Will not recommend or return.

It was in a great location. After a noise complaint (beeping noise from elevators) on the 5th floor we were granted a quiet room on the 9th for the following two nights.

8/10 Great hospitality. Great location.
I booked this hotel for my work. I write this review because of their hospitality. I arranged three rooms. Mr. Hung at the front desk helped me a lot. I didn’t know what’s to do but he was one who helped me with patients. The hospitality was great. It was so nice and clean.
