Motto By Hilton Washington Dc City Center Hotel

The room was compact but comfy, perfect for solo travel. Great location for exploring museums. Staff were helpful, allowing luggage storage. Fitness center had a good setup. Some issues with lost glasses. Room lacked a fridge. Rooftop bar food overpriced. Clean and cozy stay with friendly service.

Just stayed in a hotel in Chinatown - such a cozy spot! LOVED the amazing breakfast in the lobby and the clean rooms with a great view. Would definitely stay here again! The rooms are smaller than expected but look better than in photos. A gem!

Little brand-new hotel, staff and rooms could not be better.

Fairly clean hotel in a stylish building close enough to the Chinatown metro stop, many facilities including the tourist sites. Fast check-in, incredible personnel at the reception desk❤

Despite the hiccup with the payment system, the location, friendly staff, and artistic vibe made up for it. Special shoutout to Alexandra for a warm welcome! The rooftop bar and amenities were top-notch. Would definitely recommend!

We loved our excellent staying. The room was functional with very comfy bed.

Had a really great stay at an unreasonable time. The restaurant here was great with breakfast, we both ordered amazing dishes. Its personnel was honest and courteous, no complaints.

Well, the area was not so great overall.

Loved the cozy room and friendly staff at the hotel, plus the awesome location near the arena! The 12pm check out time was great, giving me that extra hour to relax in the comfy room. The food at the rooftop bar was a bit overpriced, with automatic gratuity and extra tip requests, but overall my stay was ace! 🌟

Stylish, little with a great lobby.

Everything was great, unbeatable location next to the Chinatown metro stop, the staff were incredible. The food was reasonably priced with variety of alternatives. The property was a short way from 7th st nw & h st Nw bus stop.

Comfy bed and clean rooms at Motto. Enjoyed the bluetooth speaker system. Super friendly reception staff. Convenient location near Chinatown Metro.

Incidentals charge issue resolved quickly. Bouncer at whiskey bar unwelcoming.

We liked this hotel's location and staff.

Motto impressed us in every way. Cozy and clean rooms, comfortable pods, and fantastic soundproofing. the lobby restaurant staff was exceptional, remembering our coffee orders. Alexandra at reception provided a warm welcome. Great location and fair room prices.

Limited clothing storage, modern practical pods. Limited room view, rooftop bar compensates.

The hotel was a fantastic base for enjoying a fairly nice area, short walk to a major metro stop and Walgreens almost next door and the National Mall.

The food was great and the bar was good.

Friendly staff and safe premises, close to all the action in the city, made for an ideal weekend getaway. The rooms, although cozy, were clean and quiet, and the front desk team, especially Jordan. The rooftop bar and diner downstairs, as well as the nearby museums and monuments, provided plenty of relaxation options 🌟. Despite limited lobby seating, the overall experience was fantastic, and we're already planning our next stay!

Good overall experience. Adequate and compact units with views to the washington monument.

Enjoyed the close proximity to the National Mall at Motto By Hilton Washington DC City Center. Room was nicely priced and comfortable, with efficient style. Wish the lounge/bar areas were open earlier for a more relaxed experience. Great option for tourism or business, though room lighting could be improved.

Its location was very central, easy walk to a multi-purpose arena. I greatly enjoyed the location near a subway station.

All was fairly clean, I loved perfect location and staff.

The staff here were absolutely amazing, always friendly and willing to help. the restaurant and bar had a great selection, and the food we tried was delicious. the location was perfect, within walking distance to all the major sights. the room was clean, modern, and comfortable. I loved the extra touches like the white-noise machine and earplugs provided, ensuring a peaceful night's sleep.

While the room was cozy, it might be a bit small for some guests, especially if facing the main street. It could get a bit noisy at times.

Wifi

Room size

Had a quick trip and the warm welcome from the staff was amazing! the room was clean, comfy, a bit small though. LOVED the good breakfast. Would choose again. Photos don't do justice.

Small but very comfortable room, very well used space. Very close to the subway and near National Mall, museums, White House and Capitol

I could have had complimentary coffee/tea

I loved the hotel! The staff were friendly, rooms clean and cozy with useful amenities. Yes, the room was small but not an issue for me. Bathroom noisy but there were earplugs. Great location near metro and dining options. A little noisy outside, but a white noise machine helped.

Very good location to visit, close to the subway. Very clean, electronic equipment very good. Good wifi. Very pleasant staff.

Very small room, difficult to move around, not much storage space. Very noisy heating. Draughty and noisy reception hall.

Omg, the breakfast here is to die for! so many yummy options. The room was a bit cozy but super clean. Loved the location, so close to everything. Only downside was noise from the bar. 🍳🛏️🎉

Near the center. Near the subway.

Too small a room. Noise from the street despite a room on the 9th floor.

design of the double room is modern and hotel very secure. Ideal location: 20 minutes walk from the National Mall and a few steps from some very good restaurants!

The "double" bed is really small... you don't have to be big :D and we had some paperwork problems after the hotel was bought by Hilton (they gave us two rooms instead of one, I received 2 invoices by email, one of which was not in my name... everything is back in order but be careful on this point).

The views from my room on the 11th floor were absolutely breathtaking, offering a unique perspective of the cityscape that left me in awe. The curated art scattered throughout the property added an extra touch of sophistication and gave each floor its own distinct personality. Plus, the southern comfort breakfast at Crimson was an absolute delight, and the morning pastries from Blanchard's Coffee Roasting Company were the perfect way to start my day.

There were some unsavory elements in the area, as the CVS next to the hotel had undergone property damage prior to my stay.

room and bathroom were very clean. large and comfortable bed. Great location, we went to the center on foot, around the great restaurants.

Very small room, you couldn't open a suitcase on the floor! Outside the window, the central ventilation system from the neighbouring building was very noisy. No parking, no breakfast.

The hotel's prime location at the entrance to Chinatown offers easy access to restaurants, the Cap 1 arena, and nearby attractions. Despite the small room size, the cozy atmosphere and comfortable bed made the stay enjoyable. However, the noise levels at night from outside activities and lack of privacy in the bathroom might be off-putting for some guests.

Kind and welcoming staff. Very good location, easy access.

Room on the street side very impacted by outside noise (sound insulation / poor quality windows)

Despite the noisy street outside, the staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating, allowing for a convenient mid-morning check-in. The small room was well-designed and had everything I needed, including a great bed and shower to recharge for my day ahead. The location right by a metro stop made it easy to explore the nearby restaurants and bars.

Very clean. Close to the tourist attractions.

A little bit of space in the room.

the room was very clean and the location is very close to the metro. we walked to the Capitol and White House easily. the staff were super friendly and the hotel had a nice rooftop bar.

Couldn't recommend more

The location

The toilet is constantly leaking

My bank charged more than it was, and at the hotel they told me it was a charge that was later returned but they never returned it.

I recently stayed at a hotel in Washington, DC called Motto. The room was clean and my 12-year-old son loved the bunk beds. The location was fantastic, with everything we needed close by and the metro right there for easy transportation. The diner downstairs was great, and the coffee shop and whiskey bar were nice bonuses. The staff was super nice and made us feel welcome. The room was small, but it worked for my son and me. It would have been even better if there were a few more hooks in the room to hang towels and dry them, especially since the hotel is committed to being eco-friendly. Although the charging station in our room didn't work, it wasn't a big deal since we had our own chargers. The only downside was that being on the 10th/11th floor meant it was a bit loud on Friday night due to the rooftop bar. However, despite that, my son has already requested to come back to Motto. We really enjoyed our stay.

We loved this hotel with its simple concept: the rooms are smaller than average and have the most essential facilities, all for a low price. The location is also ideal: right next to the great monuments of washington and right in the middle of chinatown, perfect for eating something other than hamburger!

We didn't like the air conditioning. It's noisy and very close to the bed. As a result we caught a cold. Also, because of the small size of the room, the toilet is very close to the bed and there is no sound insulation. Not very glamorous.

The location made it easy to explore attractions on foot or by metro, and the staff were incredibly friendly. The room had powerful air conditioning, a cozy coffee shop in the lobby, and allowed for an early check-in. Despite its small size, it felt modern and clean, offering a comfortable stay in the heart of Washington DC. The neighborhood may have some challenges, but overall, the convenience and amenities made for a pleasant and safe experience as a solo traveler.

The location is excellent.

The room seemed very small to me, I suggest there should be a coffee maker and a microwave.

My friends and I had a blast staying at this hotel in DC! The location was perfect for hitting up the trendy local fitness studio for yoga and spin classes, and we felt super energized afterwards. Plus, the nearby nightlife scene was so lit – we partied 'til the early morning hours!

We wished the hotel had more of a happening vibe for young party-goers. A rooftop pool or a live DJ at the bar would have taken our stay to the next level!

location in front of the metro gallery place, valgreens just next door; Chinese and world restaurants also next door. setting, hotel, room. cleanliness of the room. friendly staff. Calm. 15-20 minutes walk in a straight line from the White House and other beautiful monuments of the capital. A very good pied-à-terre. train station is 2-3 stations away from the Gallery Place subway station. So only 7 minutes by subway. You can also do it on foot.

The air conditioning is too loud. It is absolutely necessary to change it quickly because it is impossible to sleep with such a noise.

The rooms were so cozy and modern with a huge TV for streaming our favorite shows. The private bathroom was a nice touch with personalized bath products. The workspace was small but perfect for a quick email check. It was just what our family needed for a relaxing stay.

The workspace was a bit small for any serious work, but it was still functional.

As longer term business travelers, we enjoyed the late check-out option and the comfortable beds. The hotel had convenient soap, conditioner, and shampoo dispensers in the shower. The staff was friendly and the check-in process was easy. We also appreciated the quiet atmosphere and the cheap parking option. our stay at Motto By Hilton was pleasant and hassle-free.

We felt well taken care of during our stay, with no complaints at all.

The hotel is superbly located, opposite the Gallery Pl-Chinatown Station Metro Station, super connected to Union Station. Lots of homeless people around the Jedank station. On the ground floor of the hotel, a restaurant, very favourably priced, tasty, inexpensive for Washington, large portions. Clean rooms, comfortable bed. Nice and helpful staff at the reception.

Loud and difficult to set up air conditioning. You can hear noises from the street.

This hotel is a perfect base for exploring the city, as it is located close to the national mall and many attractions. The surrounding area offers a variety of amazing restaurants to choose from. Additionally, it's conveniently situated next to the Capital One Arena and is just a short distance from downtown. The room and bathroom were both clean and comfortable, providing a relaxing atmosphere. The staff were friendly and accommodating, and the check-in process was smooth. The hotel also had a coffee shop in the lobby with delicious coffee, perfect for starting the day off right.

The pillows were a bit too soft and lacked support.

The Motto By Hilton hotel is a chic and modern hotel with clean lines and minimal decor. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful, going above and beyond to assist with luggage and parking. The location is close to all the major attractions in D.C. but still manages to be quiet. The room is cozy and comfortable, with thoughtful amenities like dispensable toiletries and a hand soap dispenser. The bathroom has a soft-close sliding door and plenty of storage space. The hotel has a rooftop bar, an excellent restaurant, and even a whiskey bar. The hotel is within walking distance to most D.C. attractions.

Felt special, no complaints whatsoever.

Good location - within a longer walk you can walk anywhere, clean, comfortable room, had everything you need.

The hotel is located in Chinatown - please note that the area may be dirty and may have specific smells. We also met homeless people sleeping in the area, although it was completely safe because the streets around are busy and often patrolled by the police.

Good location: by the metro station, 10 min walk from the center (National Mall), 20 min. from the train and bus station. The new hotel is modern, although modestly equipped. Good air conditioning. Clean. There is a safe in the room. Large shop and restaurants nearby. Quiet neighborhood.

No coffee or tea making equipment. No towel hangers and clothes in the bathroom. There was only one hook. On the fourth floor we had a view of the wall of the neighboring building next door and ventilation outlets.

I keep returning for the amazing staff and helpful suggestions for ordering delicious food. The place suits me perfectly with Wi-Fi, 24-hour reception, fitness center, and express check-in/out. Coming back for Easter!

The cleaning of the room. The location is excellent. The attention of the staff is super good, very friendly and they help you at all times. The bed is not big but comfortable.

The bathroom door. It's impossible to have privacy in the bathroom. It was a sliding door that didn't properly isolate the bathroom from the room. The room is called a capsule because it's literally tiny, there's no room to put two suitcases, it's uncomfortable. The noise of the street, there were people shouting at 3 am and everything could be heard, the windows are not airtight. The rooms do not have a refrigerator. In the hotel there are machines to fill bottles with water, but there is no ice machine.

Unbeatable value for money. Very close to museums. Extremely friendly staff . Very clean. Small but well-appointed room.

Room's a little small. No breakfast. No coffee or tea.

Great staff, clean facilities, comfortable room. Perfect location, close to attractions and restaurants. Lots of sunlight. Thoughtful design and storage. Access to gym and shared workspace. Filtered water available. Comparable size to other hotels. Comfortable mattress, good shower, reliable Wi-Fi. Clean and modern.

staying at motto was a fantastic experience, from the modern bedrooms to the warm and friendly reception staff. the location is superb, close to monuments, making it convenient for sightseeing. the complimentary sanitary products and free wifi were thoughtful touches. with three elevators for easy access, the secure environment and cleanliness added to the overall positive stay.

It was all superb! 🌟

The attention of the staff, especially the girls at the reception desk, is not so much that of the boys

There was nothing I didn't like

Reception. The breakfast to add in the restaurant and à la carte was very good.

Not much.

The hotel is conveniently located right next to the metro station, making it easy to explore the city. it is situated on the edge of Chinatown, allowing guests to experience the vibrant atmosphere of the area. The Gallery Place entrance to the metro is directly across the street from the hotel, offering easy access to transportation.

There were some safety concerns in the surrounding area during my stay, but this is not the fault of the hotel.

Let's dig in at Crimson Diner for epic eats and enjoy the cozy vibes at Tony Cheng Mongolian Restaurant. Staff are top-notch, WiFi is solid.

Room felt cramped as a sardine can, and the rogue toilet fan serenaded us all night. But hey, Motto's charm still shines bright.

Conveniently located near museums, metro stop, and great dining options. The room and bathroom were spacious and clean, with comfortable bedding. Staff provided professional and available service, including pre-check in and check out online. Nearby Walgreens stocked great toiletries, but the hotel's amenities also smelled lovely.

The hotel was clean and modern, with friendly staff and a convenient location near restaurants and the subway. The room had everything needed for a comfortable stay. The bar upstairs was a nice amenity. However, music was too loud and parking was an issue. The relaxation was enhanced by a comfy bed and the nearby landmarks like the National Mall and museums contributed to quality family time.

I had a great stay at Motto. The staff were friendly and helpful, making me feel relaxed and comfortable. The location was perfect for visiting the museums and monuments, with plenty of restaurants and a supermarket nearby. The room had a fantastic view and was clean. I also loved the handwritten welcome card and the amenities provided. The hotel had a bar in the basement and a rooftop, perfect for enjoying a night out. There was also a nice restaurant next to the lobby.

I strongly recommend this hotel.

Great location, friendly staff, clean facilities, modern design, convenient toiletries, helpful service.

Nothing is perfect.

The hotel's location was perfect for exploring the city, with many attractions and places to eat nearby. the staff were friendly and helpful, providing information about the area and making recommendations for restaurants. the room was also clean and comfortable, with larger shampoo and conditioner available.

The room was quite small and lacked the standard amenities found in other hotels, such as coffee makers and comfortable seating areas. the plugs were not easily accessible, making it difficult to charge phones and other electronics.

I had a great stay at this hotel in the Chinatown area of DC. The rooms were cute and had a nice view, including a view of the Washington Monument. The staff was helpful and kind, with one person even opening the door for me. The location of the hotel was perfect, within walking distance of all the major tourist sites and lots of restaurants nearby.

That the thermostat light was too bright, making it hard to sleep.

the location is awesome, easy to access, and very beautiful. Everything was clean, stylish, and reliable. the room had a modern and fresh design, and the staff were always energetic and smiley. I really appreciated the check-up phone call after we arrived in our room. the bathroom was a good size and I loved the multi-functional sliding door. the room had plenty of storage space, a full-body mirror, and a nice window with a street view. the cleanliness was top-notch and the hotel is eco-friendly.

Nothing negative to say 🙌

The southern comfort breakfast at the hotel's restaurant was a delightful surprise. The biscuits were so delicious that I felt like I was being embraced by a warm hug from a Southern grandmother. It was the perfect way to start my day in Washington.

Limited grab-and-go breakfast options.

The location of the hotel is great and convenient for exploring the city. The friendly staff at the front desk helped us with great recommendations for local attractions. We enjoyed our stay, and overall I'd recommend this place.

The hotel's diner served delicious biscuits for breakfast. The Thievery Corporation partnership added a quirky touch. The guest rooms were well-equipped with a TV and a safe. The rooftop bar offered great views of the Washington Monument. I enjoyed the nearby fitness outlet and the fried chicken sandwich at the Southern-focused restaurant. The lobby's funky design was a pleasant surprise. The close proximity to the restaurant scene was convenient. a comfortable stay with a few notable highlights. And yes, as an Aussie, I appreciated the laid-back vibes.

The staff at the hotel were incredibly welcoming and friendly. They made me feel right at home during my stay. the rooms were also very clean and well-maintained, which is always a plus. Additionally, the hotel's location was ideal for exploring the city. It was within walking distance of all the major attractions and there was a metro station directly across the street. This made it convenient to get around and saved me a lot of time.

One downside of the hotel was the noise level in the neighborhood. There was music blasting late into the night, which made it difficult to sleep.

Our family had a fantastic time visiting the nearby fitness studio, Blissful Yoga & Spin. It offered a great variety of classes suitable for all levels, which gave us a chance to stay active and relaxed during our stay.

In my wife's opinion, a dedicated play area for kids would enhance the family experience.

Convenient location, friendly staff, comfortable bed, environmentally conscious amenities, close to attractions and metro.

Not obvious to find.

I had a fantastic stay at this hotel! The location was absolutely perfect, right in the heart of the city with so much to see and do. I loved being able to explore the vibrant Chinatown area just steps away from the hotel. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, especially Lionel at the front desk. They made me feel so welcome and even gave me two drink vouchers as a welcome gift. The room was spacious and comfortable, with the most heavenly beds and pillows. It was the perfect retreat after a long day of exploring the city. The hotel also had a great restaurant and a cool whiskey bar in the basement that I highly recommend checking out. I had a wonderful experience and would definitely stay here again.

This hotel is a hidden gem and I highly recommend it to everyone.

This hotel is in the perfect location. It's right in the center of all the DC attractions, making it easy to explore the city. Plus, it's in Chinatown, so there are plenty of restaurants and shops within walking distance.

No major issues to mention, everything was great.

I had a fantastic stay at this hotel! First, the location was perfect - within walking distance of all main sights and very near the Metro station. Second, the hotel facilities were great - everything was clean and well cared for. Third, the staff was amazing - they were all very friendly and made me feel welcome from the moment I arrived. Finally, the breakfast was delicious - I especially loved the pastries!

Not obvious to find.

As a frequent traveler, I stayed at Motto by Hilton Washington DC City Center for transit during my journey, and I was impressed by the convenience of the Gallery Place/Chinatown Metro station. It offered easy, direct access to Union Station, just 2 stops away, and Reagan National Airport, 6 stops away. the central location near attractions like the National Museum of African American History and Culture added to the hotel's appeal.

The only minor inconvenience I encountered during my stay was the lack of a microwave and fridge in the guest rooms. It wasn't a significant issue for my short stay, but it's worth noting for guests who may need these amenities.

Upon my arrival at the Motto by Hilton Washington DC City Center, the light-flooded lobby immediately caught my attention with its stylish and vibrant design. The unique art on each floor added an interesting touch, creating a contemporary and welcoming atmosphere. the guestroom I stayed in was both comfortable and very clean. The 50-inch flat-screen TV and customized bath products made my stay truly enjoyable.

The rooms at Motto by Hilton Washington DC City Center are a bit small, and the bathroom's proximity to the bed felt a bit cramped. However, the double pane windows helped with the external noise, providing some relief.

Loved the convenience of having a restaurant on-site. Great southern food at Crimson Diner, although the service was hit or miss. And hey, they even had HDMI cables for the massive TV!

No coffee pots in the room! How am I supposed to survive without my caffeine fix?

Stylish and cool hotel with clean rooms and new amenities. Located near China town, subway station, and lots of Asian food options. Super helpful staff, excellent bar/restaurant, and convenient baggage storage.

The location was fantastic, with easy access to all the major attractions in D.C. We were able to walk everywhere and didn't need to worry about transportation. The rooms, although small, were clean and comfortable, providing a quiet space to relax after a long day of exploring. The onsite restaurant was a great option for meals, and the staff were all friendly and welcoming. I had a great stay and would recommend this hotel to others looking for accommodations near D.C. attractions.
