We stayed here for 2 nights while we were sightseeing in Washington. Donovan House is very conveniently located near the White House and the nearby subway takes you in a couple of minutes to the Smithsonian and Capitol Hill. For American standards the room was a bit small, but for us Europeans the size was not a problem. The room... more

We stayed here for a week while doing the tourist thing in D.C. / the hotel was FABULOUS !!!! It is: 1/ very clean and modern 2/ unique in decor (very "artsy" and pleasing) 3/ convenient to the "must see areas" (monuments, capitol, etc.) and easy access to the Metro - a station only 3 blocks away 4/ secure (24... more

We loved the look of the website and booked two rooms at the hotel. The services was great, everyone is so kind, polite and friendly. Everyone greets you as you walk by. Beware there is no really good places to eat around the hotel, they have some construction going on so stay on higher floors. The atmosphere is sleek and... more

Enjoyed the location on Thomas Circle, both near a Metro stop and within walking distance of the White House and Mall. Check-in staff was personable and staff throughout the hotel was very friendly as well. Parking at the hotel was $35/night, more than originally quoted, but the convenience was worth the price. Obviously, restauarants in the area are limited, but... more

Given the fact this is a newer hotel, you would expect the staff to be somewhat inexperienced in the finer points of pleasing customers. That is not the case at Donovan House. Everyone we encountered was professional, polite, courteous and aimed to please. The quality of the service really stood out. As for the hotel itself, my 17-year old son... more

The Donovan House is a very sleek and sexy hotel. I stayed for five days, and had a very comfortable stay. I normally stay at Kimpton hotels, either the Palomar or Rouge, when in DC for work, but I thought I would give Donovan House a try based on a great introductory rate through travelzoo, including free wireless internet, and... more
