“Definitely Stay Here”

Sofitel Washington DC

5 of 5 stars
San Francisco
Jun 11, 2008

I loved this hotel. My husband and I spent three wonderful days here. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. We had late night drinks at the bar on several occasions; had a late night dinner in their restaurant; and ate breakfast each morning, also in the bar. Each time was perfect. Great drinks, food, coffee, croissants. The location was ideal to explore all the Washington sights. We did a lot of walking and also made use of the nearby subway. Though this is hardly an inexpensive place, it was a delight. We even met the French ambassador during our stay. There are a lot of French people who not only work at the hotel, but stay at the hotel. The room was large and nicely decorated. Would stay here again...absolutely.

Got a great deal here on priceline.com
The room was beautiful- very clean and modern with extremely comfortable bed. This was the best hotel I have ever stayed in. The shower was also wonderful.

“Excellent Service”

Sofitel Washington DC

Jun 9, 2008

Just spent 5 days at this hotel - it was incredibly convenient - right near the White House - the staff was incredible - especially the consierge - he went out of his way to help us. 1/2 price on week-ends so it was a real deal for the price.

“Real Class”

Sofitel Washington DC

5 of 5 stars
Seattle, Washington
May 24, 2008

I stayed at the Sofitel Lafayette for one night in May while in DC on business. I usually stay in Kimpton hotels while on business but, for some reason, I was booked at a Sofitel this time around. I'm thrilled that it worked out that way.

My experience at Kimpton hotels have been a lot of attitude with little service. But, at this Sofitel, which you could tell was super high class, the staff was kind and helpful. There was no attitude at all, only good humored, happy people. Everyone from the front desk to the restaurant staff was more than gracious.

My room was nice and looked out at the American Bar Association. I was only a couple of blocks from the White House, so that's what I did first thing upon arrival. Super close to both Metrorail as well as bus access.

“Sleek modern downtown hotel”

Sofitel Washington DC

4 of 5 stars
Vancouver, BC, Canada
May 18, 2008
1/1 found this review helpful

I really enjoyed staying at this hotel. The staff were without exception welcoming and friendly. The room was refreshingly modern and immaculate. The bed was very comfortable. The bathroom was well supplied and beautiful.

There were some downsides. The fridge contents had an electronic lock, so that if you removed anything, you would get charged. We had asked the front desk (twice) to empty it so we could put our own things in, but it didn’t happen, and we gave up. Also, the downtown location of the hotel allowed convenient access to the National Mall, but at night, the area was quite empty, and felt a little lonely. However, being only a block from the MacPherson Sq. metro stop meant one could go anywhere for livelier nightlife.

I paid $205 to 215 per night, which was an early-bird prepaid rate off their hotel website. Overall, I was pleased with my experience and would stay there again
