The hotel is nice ENOUGH. Location is great. Everything was clean. To me though, it was just Ok. I tend to stay in 5 star hotels though so that might be what has me not completely satisfied. There was no robe or slippers in the room, it was hard to get water and ice (I'm a big water drinker), ordering room service was unsuccessful (i ended up getting Uber eats), and my room didn't get serviced. They did come to do my room later that afternoon, but i had just had a medical procedure and just wanted to sleep at that point. Restaurant staff was superb and they made very good lattes. Valet can take a while so plan ahead for that. Omg it is soooo noisy. Maybe because the hospital is nearby but there is ALWAYS a siren going by or someone laying on the horn. The hvac in the room is also very loud. But hotel is pretty, bed was comfy, staff was very pleasant, but not sure i would stay again. Oh and the bathroom isn't my favorite BUT the shower was very hot and had good pressure. That's important.

A truly exceptional experience. The property was clean, quiet, and very well maintained. Every interaction with the staff was positive and professional. The room offered great comfort and attention to detail, making it easy to unwind. The entire stay felt effortless and enjoyable from beginning to end.

Oh my GOSH - this hotel is everything. We come to DC often and have stayed at dozens of hotels, however AKA will be the first property we become regulars at. The service here is unmatched, they upgraded us AND left a note and champagne for my husband’s birthday, room service was excellent, the overall service was top tier and the accommodations were luxurious. The breakfast in-room was fabulous, and every person we interacted with was so incredibly kind and thoughtful. We booked via AMEX travel and will be coming back here when we travel here in the summer. Thank you to the management and amazing staff at AKA! Additionally - the gym was great, and had fantastic basics for a good workout.

Very easy to get to or direct drivers to the hotel. Wonderful service in the lobby. Employees opening doors, saying hello and great advice. Rooms are beautiful and view from the windows are gorgeous. Only notes are no kitchenette so no microwave, plates, cutlery and the showers are beautiful but the pressure isn’t there. Overall a wonderful hotel with great amenities like a bar, restaurant, gym and beautiful rooms.

AKA Hotel Washington Circle was an absolute lifesaver during what turned into a very stressful and unexpected stay. Because an off-site public parking garage was not cleared even three days after a snowstorm, we were unable to retrieve our vehicle and were effectively stranded in DC despite all surrounding areas being cleared. Throughout all of this, the team at AKA went truly above and beyond. The front desk staff was nothing short of amazing — kind, patient, professional, and genuinely supportive every step of the way. They even lent us shovels so we could attempt to manually dig ourselves out of the garage, which speaks volumes about how willing they are to help their guests in any way possible. When it became clear we needed to extend our stay, they graciously accommodated two additional nights without issue, which removed a huge amount of stress from an already difficult situation. The hotel itself is excellent. The rooms are very spacious, spotless, and comfortable, and every staff member we encountered was friendly and professional. The attached restaurant was another highlight — the food and drinks were delicious and a perfect way to unwind after long days dealing with travel issues. If you’re staying in Washington, DC or the foggy bottom area and want a hotel that truly cares about its guests, AKA Hotel Washington Circle is an outstanding choice. Exceptional service, beautiful accommodations, and a team that shows up when it matters most. Highly, highly recommend.

The staff was helpful, with anything that was needed . The rooms are wonderful. The location is honestly great! Walking distance to everything really. The hotel was clean and comfortable . The temperature in the room was perfect . Went when it was on the colder side and the room was warm and perfect . Lobby great space . The valet was nice. Would go back to the hotel .

We really enjoyed our stay at The a.k.a. Washington Circle. The staff was super helpful and pleasant. The hotel was in immaculate condition and it was a good value for a luxury hotel. We reserved through AMEX and the fees were well documented up front so no surprises, even though they are annoying for sure. Just include “fees” in the price of the room for Pete’s sake, no one enjoys the games. Although to be fair when I went back on the AMEX site to look at reserving again there were no fees, so maybe they finally listened. Who knows, it’s corporate America, logic is usually not part of the equation. Anyway, I digress, it was a great hotel with a great staff and a great location if you’re headed for foggy bottom. Thank you Hotel AKA Washington Circle staff for making our stay so pleasant!

Upon arrival, we were greeted with chocolates and champagne, which was a lovely touch. The front desk staff was extremely welcoming and kind from the moment we checked in. Our room was very spacious and honestly felt more like a mini apartment than a standard hotel room. Overall, the hotel was beautiful and very comfortable. The location is excellent. It’s very walkable, which made getting around easy and enjoyable. One small downside was the noise. At times, you could hear people talking in the hallway or doors slamming, which was noticeable while in the room. Another thing to note is that certain amenities, like a microwave, come with an additional fee, and those extra charges can add up. We were really hoping to try the restaurant, but since we stayed over New Year’s Eve, it closed early and we didn’t get the chance to experience the food. That said, the staff was very accommodating throughout our stay, and my fiancé especially loved it. Valet parking is $66 per night plus tax. If you’re looking to save some money, nearby parking garages may be about $10 cheaper, and street parking is an option on weekends if you can find a spot. Overall, I truly don’t have anything major to complain about. We had a great experience and would absolutely stay here again.

We decided to head to DC during our daughter’s “fall break” in November. Even though the shutdown was happening, we decided to make the best of it and go. So glad we stayed at this hotel. It was centrally located, the staff were beyond amazing. Tyler and staff were super friendly and accommodating. The hotel is immaculate as was our hotel room! The room was spacious, clean and very nice. They offer free laundry (which is a plus when traveling with kids) and a neat cinema room. We drove so they had valet parking which made it super easy. Will definitely stay here again in the future. Thanks!

Amazing stay at hotel aka washington circle. Perfect location accessible to IMF and World Bank buildings, with many food and cafe options nearby (the hotel breakfast is 100% so good). The area is safe to walk around. The room is clean and spacious. I really like the scent of the body wash/shampoo. I’d only be picky that rooms are not perfectly soundproofed especially when the noises are loud from the road. My favorite part is the friendly staff and their amazing service. I want to express my special thanks to Sri for her kind service and bright smiles! I will recommend this hotel to friends and colleagues.
