I stayed at this hotel as it was not too far from the convention center, but close enough to enjoy a run around the national mall and there are many good restaurants around it. In addition, it's a Hilton and I generally always stay at a Hilton for the points and the consistent service, amenities etc. The amenities were great,... More

First night stayed on the 4th floor, second night stayed on the 7th. Walls were thin, but got to overhear a hilarious fight between a couple about how bad a gallery opening food had been. Staff was friendly, room was clean, no complaints. More

This hotel is situated just two blocks from the whitehouse, so if the traffic lights are in your favour you can walk there in just a couple of minutes! It's a pleasant walk to most of the main DC attractions (monuments, museums, parks etc), as you walk passed the whitehouse to get to most of them. It's also one block... More

Stayed one nght on business in May 2012. Hotel was very busy with lots of meetings and conferences both in and around the hotel. Not a cheap place to stay, eat, or print a couple pages on their computer, but if forewarned one can deal with it. If you seek nice vegetarian/organic food there is a Java Green Cafe about... More

It's not easy to do sales calls in Washington DC since my clients (and I would suppose your clients too) are spread out geographically. I've found the most convenient location with the best customer service is The Capital Hilton. I was greeted warmly when I arrived and was able to check-in during the early afternoon (prior to the listed check-in... More

The location of the hotel is really good, The White House is in walking distance and some restaurants too. The TV was not working properly and we had trouble with the WiFi. The hotel is pretty expensive for the quality of the rooms and though the food in the restaurant was very good, the price is high and it seems... More

A classic, well-managed Hilton. Stayed one night for business in early December 2011 and got a surprisingly good deal on the Hilton website. Room was of good size and spotlessly clean. I was given a corner room so extra point for that. Staff was friendly and helpful including the wait staff at the North Gate Grill - nice place for... More

This is a very nice hotel. It has just undergone a major refurbishment, and the rooms are spacious, well appointed, very comfortable, and very nicely decorated. I stayed here for 4 nights with my mum over New Years, 2012, and we both very much enjoyed this hotel. It is a great location. You see the White House as you step... More
