Very good hotel, big rooms with big bed, clean and comfortable. Close to Washington main attraction (20 min by walk for White House). Breakfast good even if service is a bit low... In the end very good hotels but expensive (about 200 euro per night)

We were recommended the Melrose Hotel as a good place to stay in DC, and we weren't disappointed. We had 4 great nights there. Georgetown is a beautiful part of DC to explore and the Melrose is ideally situated. The circulator bus stops almost outside the hotel and the metro station is about 3 blocks away adjacent to George Washington... More

We stayed here as part of a cruise/tour package and were very impressed with the standard of the hotel and particularly the room which was more like a mini-suite. Staff are very friendly and helpful especially the front desk The hotel is very conveniently placed for historic Georgetown and tour buses can be picked up a 5 minute walk away.... More

This is a nice hotel, it´s situation is perfect. However, if you have to make a reservation for more than five rooms, be careful and insist to recieve ahead of time the rooming list confirmation; you can get a negative surprise. This hotel is fully booked, if they do not get one name of the reservation list, you will be... More

This hotel is lovely and in a perfect location. The rooms are very large and modern, especially by D.C. standards. However, the service and clientele have a very snooty attitude. I was treated rudely when I asked to extend my stay by one night. Of COURSE they were fully booked. I was also treated rudely when I asked for a... More

HUGE rooms for Washington D.C., beautifully decorated, too. The lobby lounge is excellent, and the service very good. The lobby is inviting (unlike many D.C. hotels, who either don't really have one or have one that's meant to "push" you other places) and comfortable. Nearby is La Perla restaurant (1/2 block), one of the finest Italian places I've found in... More

Enjoyed this hotel and will definitely stay there again. Staff has good customer service skills, lobby and restaurant/bar are nicely decorated and recently renovated. The rooms are large size especially for a city hotel. Excellent location for DC visiting. Parking is challenging so if you can do without a car I would recommend doing so... Nice to have DC based...

This is a lovely boutique hotel in Washington DC, not far from the GWU campus. The building and facility itself is beautiful. Modern furniture and conversational groupings make you want to sit and relax in the lobby. The bar was closing as we arrived, I begged for a drink, and the bartender very nicely kept the bar open a bit... More

We had a great stay at The Melrose. For a few seconds after we arrived, I was afraid we were going to be treated as 2nd class citizens since we had just booked at noon on Hotel Tonight but after finding our reservation, the receptionist became friendly and helpful. We had a large room with a comfy king bed. The... More

This was our family's first trip to Washington D.C. to visit our daughter and her husband. We stayed at the Melrose because our daughter's residence is right next door to the hotel. Our flight arrived late, but we had previously called the hotel to inform them of our delayed arrival. When we finally made it, they regretfully informed us that... More
