We had a good stay here - close to the white house and bus/metro routes. A very smart hotel, clean and excellent service, with v good facitities - but more of a business hotel and geared towards that customer base, which made us feel a little uncomfortable as mere tourists. Prices at bar and bistro reflected that. As in the... more

Got a great deal on the Sofitel through Hotwire for a short trip over the Christmas holiday with my fiance, and it was worth every penny. The staff was incredibly attentive and accommodating, particularly when I inquired about avoiding paying for parking. Location can't be beat - one block from the White House and very close to museums and the... more

My wife and I stayed at this hotel during the Cherry Blossom festival. We were very happy with our decision. The room was very spacious, very clean and updated. It was our anniversary so they upgraded us, however, our room looked like the room pictured on their website, so I'm not sure if our room was any bigger or had... more

As it was my 60th birthday we decided to go to Washington DC for my birthday celebrations and using Trip Advisor, selected Sofitel Hotel and what a good choice it was. Staff really friendly and helpful, food good, large bedroom, really comfortable room (no view) but we were out all day sightseeing so it didnt matter. On the day of... more

Let me first say that I completely rely on TripAdvisor when planning out a vacation, but I've never posted a review until now. I decided that it was time to do so, because this hotel was great. My husband and I wanted a good location and at a great price. We booked the Sofitel directly through their website and got... more

We booked through Orbitz and got a cheap room rate (which I assume was because it was a weekend stay and off season for tourism). When we arrived our room was upgraded to an executive suite, which was hard to fault. The room and its factilities were great and the bed was very comfortable. Location wise, very close to the... more

We stayed overnight at the Sofitel on our way to South Carolina. It was fabulous. We were travelling with our 10 month old, and were not sure how he would be received at the hotel. All of the staff were wonderful. Our room was great, extremely quiet! We never heard a peep from any other guests. The room was quite... more

We stayed here for three nights. The service was actually quite good - a maintenance man came quickly to the room to fix a problem and ended up returning w/a small fridge that I used to keep items I purchased from a nearby Whole Foods. A maid also sprinted up to bring extra pillows I requested. A good choice if... more
