This hotel is awesome. It is the perfect location, nestled on a tree-lined street in the cool neighborhood of Logans Circle. Our room was extremely large and quiet and was a great place to flop after a day of walking the sites of DC. Don't miss the free (but tip for sure!) 5-6 cocktail hour where you can meet others...

Very convenient location and an unusual (decor) place to stay. I Have stayed here numerous times (and at other DC Kipmton properties) and have never had a disappointing stay. The rooms have a very 70's (love the Pez in the mini bar) which I enjoy. Why stay in a boring room when you can feel a little more out there... More

Wonderful location and a fun place to stay, a combination that makes for a great time in DC. I Have stayed here numerous times and have never been disappointed. The hotel offers a guest appreciation hour with free drinks from 5pm to 6pm. The rooms have a very mod and sexy feel. The hotel is about to go through a... More

This hotel has two very good things going for it - its location and its price. The location, halfway between Dupont Circle and Logan Circle, is incredibly close to a host of DC sites and restaurants but it's tucked into a residential street, making it especially endearing. I have stayed in DC dozens of times for various reasons, and I... More

Nice place, good performance during the tropical storm Sandy and the time we had to stay at the hotel because of that storm. Close to the centre of Washington, just a little walk to famous buildings, musea, etc. One thing: my room had only a very little bathroom, although clean.

The Helix at first glance is giving you lots of fancy and hip...at a closer look, the place needs a revamp. I was initially excited to stay at a lil swanky spot but just below the surface was a worn and outdated appeal. The staff were clearly sweet but untrained in hotel hospitality; less seasoned and well meaning but the... More
