Kimpton HOTEL MONACO WASHINGTON DC, an IHG Hotel

We paid $500+ for a night that we could not even enjoy because of the street noise. This was supposed to be a "garden level" room. There was no garden. There was a noisy street that was actually ABOVE our room. We could not even let daylight in because people walking on a sidewalk would be able to see inside our room. Terrible. Never again we will consider this hotel chain.

I love Kimpton hotels! I adore their scents, decor, and bike lending. All the little touches they add are fun. DC: Providing postcards and doing the stamping and mailing at the old post office building is a joyful novelty. I understand, but I’m sad that the toiletries are no longer in small take away bottles. The bikes we received were in need of service (loose seats and not aligned).

Great hotel, great location! Pet area is small, but there’s no grass other than the. National mall. Taxes and fees are but steep, but such is the way now. Would stay again!

Friendly staff, nice hotel and spacious room. Easily walkable to restaurants, shopping and attractions.

Looks fairly nice, then the night club drunks leak in and out during certain hours. Also found mice traps under my bed…

I have been to DC several times in business and I think this is my hotel of choice. First time here, but it was very convenient and not too far from the office.

Great location and beautiful hotel.

Nice location

The room with a queen bed we stayed in was by far the smallest hotel room we've ever stayed in. A bigger person would not have been able to fit between the foot of the bed and the opposite wall (where the TV is mounted), in order to move from the side of the room with the door and bathroom to the side with the desk and most readily accessible outlets. The place was clean, but our room was located on the "1st" floor, which is sub street level (and below the lobby) and smelled musty. The room itself actually smelled damp. We considered asking for a different room, but the schedule for the convention we were in town for was tight, so we just dealt with it for the hours we were in the room to sleep. The food at the restaurant is good, the staff is very polite, and I appreciate that they highlight the automatic gratuity on the check. I found it a little strange that, though they walk by the tables frequently, you essentially have to flag someone down to ask for the check, a to go box, etc. No one ever even stopped in to check on my meal or ask if I wanted water.

Beautiful hotel and the room was so unique and comfortable.

Beautiful hotel in great location The room was very attractive and bedding was comfortable. Although the layout was poor. and the air conditioning vent faced a window in an alcove blowing cold air only in that space. which made the room very hot. No drawer storage for our clothing Our first night there was terrible banging music over our room until 5 AM. Staff was very unfriendly and not very attentive in general. With exception to the bellmen at the door. They were all wonderful. Service at bars and restaurants also unfriendly. With exception of waiters in the restaurant

Hotel Monaco was a pleasant place to stay. The restaurant is so-so.

The hotel is beautiful in a great location, and I would absolutely stay there again. My experience was the front desk staff was mixed, with some friendly and another not so much.

The good: This is a lovely rehabilitated historic building; we loved our room, the tall ceilings and wide hallways. We also enjoyed a drink at the bar. Our first night's stay was fine after the party in the courtyard ended around 9 p.m. Unfortunately, the second night was a nightmare. The people in the neighboring room on the second night of our stay were extremely loud, leading us to check out at 2 a.m. and drive home rather than put up with the noise any longer. We did contact hotel staff earlier in the evening, who followed up with them, but to no avail - after a brief period, they resumed the loud talking, and their dog barked on several occasions. There were also children running and making noise in the halls both nights, long past the time when small children should have been in bed. We may have simply been unlucky, but the experience was miserable.

For placed in a damp,

Not my first stay at this hotel, was happy to return. Love the convenient location and easy access to public transportation. The hotel is clean, modern friendly, and very comfortable. I will definitely stay again.

Location was great. Had a issue on the second night when there was a small mouse in my room however

I stayed here while in town for a graduation. It was very easy to get around from the hotel because of the proximity to the metro. The hotel was modern, clean, and comfortable. I would definitely stay here again.

The stay was incredible from the moment we walked in the door to the minute we left! From the incredibly inviting staff to the free bike rentals to the daily wine to the clean rooms and more, we loved this hotel! East to walk to metro and all things DC. I’d highly recommend this hotel for any stay!

Very disappointing stay . We travel frequently and this by far was sub-par. The reception desk staff acted as if we were bothering them from check-in to check out. The complimentary social hour staff, however, were welcoming and friendly. Regarding the rooms…. I have never seen a flat bedsheet thrown over an uncovered duvet! Horrible! For the price of the room, a duvet cover should absolutely be standard! The bar was advertised to be open until 11pm/12am. Both nights we were there the bar closed at 8pm!!!! With no notice or communication !!! Location was great but please stay at a different nearby hotel.
