Guest Reviews
Habitación muy amplia y cama realmente cómoda.
Muy buenas instalaciones y atención del personal
The whole place was under construction. We purposely booked this hotel for the pool and it wasn't available.
The staff at check in were rude, couldn't find our booking and told me to go away and fix the problem myself.
Upscale vibe! The renovations are done and provide a superb experience, Loved the comfortable bed. The front desk staff — great communicators, informative and welcomed me graciously. Southern hospitality in the big city. Thank you Ray and the gentleman ( sorry I didn’t catch his name). I appreciated the tree lined streets, row houses, and smaller retail of DuPont Circle. The doormen were quick and made you feel special. Please congratulate the staff on a job well done.
Great location, large comfortable room and especially nice bathroom. New restaurant and bar are excellent.
Great size room with fridge and tea and coffee making facilities. Two big queen size beds which were very comfy. Great location near to Dupont Circle with all the amenities and places to visit near by. 4 minutes walk from the Metro made this a another reason for the great location. It was a 30 walk to the White House and a 10 Uber ride from nearby George Town which was very pretty and worth a visit for shopping and restaurants. The Rigby restaurant was very nice, not the most extensive menu but fabulous food and really friendly staff. .
Bathroom door - felt a little wobbly. Not keen a sliding doors!
People:
The staff were welcoming, professional, and helpful throughout my stay. They created a positive first impression and were attentive when providing directions, transportation information, and recommendations for exploring Washington, DC.
Food:
I enjoyed having easy access to a variety of restaurants and cafés in the Dupont Circle neighborhood. The area offered convenient dining options, allowing me to experience different foods while attending meetings and sightseeing throughout the week.
Cleanliness:
The hotel was clean, well-maintained, and comfortable. The guest rooms and common areas were consistently tidy, which made it easy to relax after busy days of meetings, museum visits, and policy-related activities.
Overall:
The combination of friendly staff, convenient food options, cleanliness, and an excellent location near the Metro, museums, and policy organizations made the Royal Sonesta Dupont Circle a great home base for my Washington, DC experience.
What I Did Not Like:
The biggest drawback of my stay was the fire alarm situation. The fire alarm went off twice during the same night, resulting in early-morning evacuations and interrupted sleep. Being awakened unexpectedly not once but twice was frustrating and disruptive, especially during a busy week of meetings and activities. While safety is important, the repeated alarms negatively impacted my overall experience and made it difficult to feel rested for the next day’s schedule.
Overall Review:
The Royal Sonesta Dupont Circle offered a clean environment, friendly staff, and a great location with many dining options nearby. However, the repeated overnight fire alarms significantly affected my stay and were the most disappointing aspect of an otherwise positive hotel experience.
Ubicación
El desayuno no estaba incluido totalmente y fue una pesadilla conciliar el crédito diario que daban con el costo . Booking.com no cumplió lo ofrecido . El hotel maneja el desayuno con un tercero y tiene costo por nas que den usd 25 por día para desayunar el costo de un desayuno continental, el mas económico es alrededor de usd 40
The room was spacious and the location
Middle of the night emergency evacuation from
the room twice with no explanation as we had to wait in the lobby for long hours throughout the night and no follow up explanation of what exactly happened.
When travelling with a family it is very concerning.
You also have to ask the staff several times for your request and things doesn’t get done or simply they do not care.
We hoped this will be a great selection for returning trips but too many issues that doesn’t make the stay comfortable.
Good location
Terrible check-in experience. I felt uncomfortable and unwelcome from the moment I arrived. The service at check-in was disappointing and did not create a pleasant or welcoming atmosphere at all. Unfortunately, it left a very negative first impression.
The only positive part of my experience was the valet parking staff — they were excellent, professional, and kind.
I would like to recognize Maxwell at the front desk of the Royal Sonesta Dupont Circle for his outstanding service. Maxwell is consistently helpful, friendly, and accommodating, always going out of his way to make guests feel welcome and valued. His positive attitude, professionalism, and willingness to assist with any request make a lasting impression. He is a true asset to the hotel and plays a big part in creating an exceptional guest experience. Thank you, Maxwell, for your kindness and dedication.
Located in an eclectic neighborhood close to restaurants, metro, park and walkable to downtown sites. Great bargain for the money and plenty of staff. Quiet even though the hotel was quite full.
