Excelente!
Pros:

La habitación era agradable, limpia y muy completa. El baño muy limpio y nos cambiaron toallas cuando lo pedimos. La ubicación del hotel es excelente y el personal muy amable y colaborador. La habitación tenía una vista muy privilegiada hacia el redondel Washington. Nos faltó conocer el restaurante, la próxima vez será.

Cons:

Entendí por la publicidad que tenía servicio en la habitación 24 horas, pero solo cuando el restaurante estaba abierto.

5-stars all around
Pros:

Everything about our stay was lovely. Highly recommend for a getaway or longer term stay-it was very clean, quiet and peaceful. The staff was kind and genuinely welcoming across the board throughout our stay, from the valet/doormen, front desk staff, manager, to the housekeeping staff. I expected it to be nice, but it really exceeded my expectations. The 1BR suite was SO comfortable and had a great balcony with seating. Loved the Nespresso and other hospitality details provided. We will definitely return here. The restaurant in the hotel was good, but the neighborhood is also full of excellent restaurants and cafes too, and it’s an easy walk to Georgetown.

Pros:

Good location

Cons:

Way too expensive, no microwaves, no fresh ventilation, and AC unit is really loud. We stayed in unit 706 for our 14th anniversary, and my wife did not like the place at all

A pleasant stay in DC
Pros:

The location of the akahotel in Washington Circle is close to the Foggy Bottom metro stop. The front of the hotel looks out upon the Circle, park benches await a respite from a busy schedule.
Hotel rooms are spacious, comfortable, and clean.
The staff is professional, welcoming, personable, eager to please. Shoutouts to Nick at the helm, Tyler at the front desk, and Manuel in the lobby, always willing to assist.
I highly recommend this hotel for your next stay in our nation’s capital.

A cozy and convenient stay
Pros:

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Hotel Aka! It was in a great location in the Foggy Bottom area and we loved how nice it was. The staff was very friendly and accommodating (thank you Tyler, Manuel, and all the valet and front staff). For every need we had, they were quick to deliver it. Our room was so cozy. I loved the dimensions of the room, the extra lighting and huge mirrors for pictures. The only thing I didn’t really like was the shower; it’s very open and no way to close it so water can get onto the floor if you aren’t careful. But overall it was a beautiful bathroom. The bed was also clean and comfortable! The cherry on top was the seamless check in and check out processes. We’ll definitely be staying again when we’re back in the city!
