The staff was so friendly and helpful, the room was clean and comfortable (had bath robes and slippers), there were so many dining options on the street and within walking distance. We enjoyed running in the neighborhood to the National Mall and a long the river. We would definitely consider staying here again.

Nice DC hotel in DuPont Circle

Wonderful service. Our stay was for five nights so we requested a microwave and they provided one for our longer stay. Later we requested a change in room as there was a noisy next door neighbor and they accommodated that request as well. Beds are a bit worn out and they were dipping on the top but I think they could fix that for future guests. Clean rooma and great location close to metro and all the main attractions.

The rooms were very large which was nice. The pool and restaurant areas were nice as well. Quiet neighborhood. Walls were thin so it wasn’t as quiet as other hotels. We didn’t eat here, so can’t comment on the food. We chose this hotel because of its location to the res line, but unfortunately that location was closed during our trip, which was unfortunate.

Great choice in DuPont Circle

Great room. The hotel is pretty big and with so many rooms there was quite some noise, including at night (doors, street cars and people, etc) Excellent location!

Second time staying here, due to cost, pet-friendliness, and proximity to a business conference. Service was great. No complaints! Would definitely stay again.

Don’t believe the picture or description

The pictures and descriptions of the rooms are not accurate. I booked a premium king suite 752 sq feet. Not even close. It was less than 450 and when I went down to ask for the correct room they were adamant I was incorrect.

Great service staff at the front desk; ditto with the bar and restaurant staff. I only wish I could have had a better room with a view but overall a decent stay at Sonesta Hotel. Great location near the red line metro DuPont Circle station.
