Trendy, friendly, comfortable and delicious!
Pros:

I had a fabulous one night stay at Hotel Nell! I was in DC with a friend to go to a conference, and we decided to stay the night in the city rather than return to Baltimore. The hotel was an easy walk from the red line through the Union Market area. What a fun and lively part of DC! We checked in around 6, tired from a long day and with the intention to drop our things and find somewhere to get dinner.

The sweet woman at the front desk (sorry I can’t remember her name!) and the GM, Adam, were so nice and accommodating. They gave us vouchers for margaritas at the rooftop restaurant Treetop. After dropping our things off we decided we loved the stylish and relaxed atmosphere of the hotel so much, we might as well take advantage of the drink vouchers and have dinner there.

Treetop was great. It was a little chilly outside but a beautiful evening and we were comfortable enough with jackets, which was good because the view from outside of DC and the Capitol Building was stunning. We had chips and guacamole, I had tacos and my friend had a bowl. Both were delicious and fresh. The friendly staff checked in on us often, but mostly left us to enjoy our food and the view.

After dinner we weren’t quite ready to go to bed, but we didn’t want to go back out into the city. So we went to the bar in the basement called the Singing Tiger. I had heard good things about the cocktails, and they were fun and tasty. We split a dessert and enjoyed chatting with the bar tender for a while. Before going to our rooms we filled out papers to hang on a tree to symbolize something we wanted to give up. What a fun touch!

The room was small, yet comfortable. I liked the toiletries, and the keys being in seed packets was a cute touch. There was plenty of space to hang up my few clothes, and even from my room on the second floor I got a good amount of natural light. I’m so glad we could spend the evening in the hotel, have a great dinner and drinks and be relaxed in bed before 11pm.

Before checkout we enjoyed breakfast at the restaurant in the lobby. There was a German school group eating breakfast at the same time and all of the tables were occupied, but we were able to be accommodated at one of the other tables in the lobby. The breakfast bowl was exactly what we needed to fuel ourselves for the day, and the mimosas and coffee were good, too. Again, the staff, the managers, everyone made us feel welcomed and taken care of.

Hotel Nell is a gem in a fun and popular area of the city. I felt safe and a little spoiled. The next time I want to get out of Baltimore for a night or two away I will be back!

Wonderful Stay! Great Service! Thank you!
Pros:

I had a wonderful stay at Hotel Nell. The rooms are beautifully appointed and very comfortable. When I thought I had an issue with the thermostat (it had switched to heat instead of cool), I simply said “Alexa, call the front desk,” and a staff member came up to my room immediately and set it back to cool for me. Incredible service.

On the main floor, there are tables and chairs, a microwave for guest use, and plastic utensils. In the room, there is a Keurig coffee maker with pods and a refrigerator. In the shower, body wash, shampoo, and conditioner are provided. At the sink, there is liquid hand soap and lotion.

Everything was clean, comfortable, and well thoughtfully set up for guests. Highly recommend Hotel Nell.

Pros:

Loved the atmosphere of the whole place! It wasn't just the cute, funky rooms (neat as a pin), but the hip, cozy, welcoming atmosphere of the staff, the way the foyer was set up; the hallways outside easily accessible elevators... it was the perfect place to stay- AND the price was amazing. My sister in law was going to DC one day after I left, and she paid for ONE NIGHT what I paid for THREE at Hotel Nell. She raised her eyebrows when I told her I booked this hotel- until I showed her the pictures of the cute hotel in a fun area! She was shocked at how gorgeous and chic everything was for the price. And it met my expectations and more when I stayed there. It was also quiet, as everyone there was respectful of the policy of STFU after I think 10 pm. It was really a great place to stay and I would recommend it to anyone!

Pros:

If you are looking for a place to stay and you enjoy going out the location is great. The staff was very helpful and understanding. Finally, The breakfast was delicious.
However parking is a problem. It is not for hotel guests only. The night we stayed there was a big event and we were unable to find parking. We drove around for an hour and couldn't find anywhere to park finally we left and drove home.
