- CSClaire R Silverstone-BrightNov 14, 20255.0I stayed at this hotel for a conference and I have some observations. The room was super comfortable and safe feeling. I especially like that you can take streaming services from your phone and cast them on to the tv. The staff are very friendly and helpful and there is good access to ride shares and public transport. Be aware however, that the Hilton experience is different between here and EUrope. Breakfast is sadly not comparable.
- DMDavid McCarthyNov 12, 20254.0It was an ok room… very large and spacious and clean but just not 5 star material. Was there for a work conference and the amenities were very nice however. Could have done a little better on the water pressure, but the room had everything you would need — including iron! That was a plus
- SNShawn NelsonNov 9, 20254.0We stayed here for one night prior to the Commanders game. Great location right on the Blue/Silver metro line that takes you to the stadium. The hotel is nice, but not up to normal Hilton standards. The shower had hair in it from previous guests, the shower gel was empty, there was a tea kettle but only one tea bag. Some of the new/modern lighting features were not functional.
- CCCoco ChiangOct 29, 20251.0Checked in today and was “greeted” by a staff member named Manizha. She was exceptionally warm and cheerful with the guests before us — which made the sudden change in attitude toward us quite remarkable. Her responses were unclear, and her tone carried a hint of sarcasm that was hard to miss. Interestingly, the staff at the next counter demonstrated exactly the kind of professionalism and courtesy one would expect at a hotel. Unfortunately, this contrast made our experience even more disappointing.
- DWDagmar WoltersOct 23, 20255.0Wir waren im Oktober vier Nächte als Familie im 12. Stock des Hilton Washington DC National Wall The Wharf. Das Hotel liegt sehr zentral, man kann viele Sehenswürdigkeiten zu Fuß besichtigen, z.B. National Mall, Capitol, weißes Haus. In der Nähe gibt es zahlreiche Restaurants und Cafés (The Wharf). Unser Zimmer war sehr sauber und komfortabel. Es gab eine Kaffeemaschine, einen kleinen Kühlschrank und einen Safe. Auf dem Flur gibt es einen Wasserautomaten und eine Eismaschine. Die beiden Kingsize- Betten waren bequem und das Bad sehr großzügig. Es gab ausreichend Ablagen und Steckdosen. Das Zimmer hat viele tolle Beleuchtungsmöglichkeiten, z.B. eine blaue Leuchtröhre über dem Fernseher. Nachts lässt sich das Zimmer mit den Vorhängen super abdunkeln. Die Lärmisolierung ist sehr gut. Die Fenster kann man nicht öffnen, aber mit der Klimaanlage ließen sich Raumtemperatur und Belüftung gut regulieren. In der 12. Etage gibt es einen Outdoor- Pool, allerdings ab Anfang Oktober geschlossen, daher konnten wir ihn nicht nutzen. Es gibt einen gut ausgestatteten Fitnessraum Zum Frühstück gab es ein Buffet mit Bagels und Brotsorten, warmen Speisen (z.B. Rührei, Speck, Haferbrei), frisches Obst, Aufschnitte, Joghurt, Cerealien, Kuchen, Kaffee, Säfte, etc. An der Bar und in der großen Lobby kann man sich bequem aufhalten und etwas trinken und essen. Vom Hotel aus kann man in ein kleines Einkaufszentrum im Untergeschoss gehen, wo es diverse Fastfood- Restaurants gibt. Das Personal war stets freundlich und aufmerksam. Check In und Out unkompliziert. Man muss eine Kaution von 100$ pro Nacht mit der Kreditkarte hinterlegen, die allerdings schnell zurückgebucht wurde nach Abreise. Vielen Dank- es hat uns gut gefallen!
