Charming boutique hotel near Dupont Circle. The staff was friendly and attentive. The dining room was beautiful. The decor had flair. I wouldn't hesitate to stay there again on my next visit to DC. The hotel far exceeded my expectations.

Pros:

I've stayed at the Lyle before, and the staff are wonderful, the hotel is beautiful, and it's very conveniently located. The gym is very nice. The room this time had a very odd smell, so we had to keep the windows open, otherwise we had our usual excellent stay.

Pros:

I chose to stay at the Lyle for its location. It is a good hotel but nothing truly special. This trip I had a room next to the elevator. This is when I discovered that the hotel does nothing to soundproof the rooms. I would hear every conversation by people waiting for the elevator or stepping out of it as if they were inside my room. I stayed 3 nights. I was awoken every night by people using the elevator.

Pros:

It was a nice older building with a very friendly staff.
It was about a 10 minute walk to the metro that meandered through a nice neighborhood and passing through DuPont Park which was beside the Metro station. There were several nice restaurants within a 10 minute walk from the hotel. You could also eat at the hotel restaurant.

Pros:

One of my favorite boutique style hotels in DC. Simple yet beautiful decor - rooms feel clean and fresh with all the white details. Hotel staff is always friendly, restaurant/bar staff could be more friendly. Love the location - easily walkable to restaurants, shops, and services. My ONLY real gripe is that the AC is never cold enough. I have to request a light blanket so I don’t end up waking up sweating in the middle of the night - this is definitely the one keeps the Lyle from being my top choice the couple times a month I’m in for business.
