the rooms are basically smallish rectangles with translucent glass dividers for the shower stall and toilet. Maybe it is just me, but I’m not a big fan of the fake wood floors we encounter just about everywhere these days. Yotel doesn’t believe in room decorations. The entirely white walls without any prints or other art, the giant (but not great resolution) TV surrounded by lights you can use to change colors and intensity and the translucent glass dividers made me feel like I was staying in a Star Trek spaceship cabin, not a DC hotel! Back to the TV- one advantage of a lot of Air B&B and other apartments I’ve stayed in is that they often provide a Roku so one can summon up one’s own streaming accounts. The YOTEL just has cable for that giant screen.

The location was perfect for my one night/one day business trip to DC; I had to be on Capitol Hill. The electric bed which went from a comfy tv-watching sofa to a full-length king was fun, and I slept well. The automatic check-in/check-out procedure was great- quick, no waiting for a front desk person, and easy to do. Although there aren’t coffee makers in the rooms, each floor has a surprisingly good automatic coffee machine by the elevators.

The parking situation. After paying for the room and everything else, parking should be allowed for hotel guests without paying a ridiculous amount per night.

Some of the staff was kinda rude. There was a female front desk agent who was bossing another agent around. I think he was in training and she was talking to him like a child. I wish she was kinder when showing the person how to do things - we need more of that in today's world.

Clean, some of the staff was really nice. I love staying there because of how nice the facilities are!!! I wish they had free early check in or late check out if they have the rooms. I've never seen a hotel that charges for those. The rooms are always very nice and some of my favorite beds (I travel a lot). The beds are comfy and the housekeeping service is great. Love the little touches around the room. Great location by Capitol and Union station.

Way too expensive for the amenities. There was not enough desk space.

Omg I love purple so that was nice! The room was spacious. The bathroom was spacious too.

The staff at reception were not very responsive but in fairness it was extremely busy eeekend (Gay Pride on the mall) The parking garage was so narrow it was a little difficult to maneuver.

The room was very clean and the beds were comfortable - they were also adjustable.

It could be noisy in the corridor by the exit stair, probably because there were two school groups.

Large room, comfortable beds . Cool features like different types of lightning in room. Fun vibes. There's complimentary coffee and hydration station on every floor. Good location.

The lighting in the room was weird and seamed to dark we couldn’t figure how to turn the hallway one either. Really sad the pool was cold, needs a warmer in that. Also what hotel has a pool but no hot tub, that was a disapointment.

The room was pretty, love how the bed reclined, staff was excellent, very clean. Rooftop bar was wonderful. Love love the complimentary coffee, probably our favorite thing since we are coffee lovers.

The check in the hotel is a total mess. They have some machines to do the check in where you have to put your credit card and leave a deposit. We tried a couple of times until the machine told us to contact the receptionist. After that We had 2 deposits charged into our bank which we had to wait several days to get back.

The hotel has an exellent location and the room is confortable. It also has a small fridge so you can store drinks and food during your stay.

Rooftop pool didn’t open till 9am so not possible to swim before work, nor at sunset. This was disappointing.

Everything was great- clean, well designed simple rooms, lovely rooftop pool, friendly staff, fast elevators, comfy beds and great shower. Great selection of restaurants about 10-15 mins walk away, especially Oyamel, a wonderful Mexican place. There’s also a few restaurants that were closer by.

Rooftop bar and pool was closed on one of the days, but it wasn’t entirely clear why.

Bed was comfortable. AC in room worked well. Reasonably priced compared to conference hotel across the street.

you can hear clearly through the walls to other rooms without trying or wanting to hear. kiosk to check in and out is irritating especially when there are one to two employees standing at the desk doing nothing. The small stairwell to the pool is irritating. The air and heat was set to auto and could not be adjusted to what you wanted which means you cannot make your room as comfortable as you want. I dont want the heat cutting on just because i up the temp by two degrees because im a little colder than i want to be. Seems to be more of a party atmosphere for a supposed 4 star hotel. Absolutely ridiculous that you are charged a fee and a huge fee at that, for checking in early. The rooms were clean and guest could go ahead and check in but we had to sit and wait in the lobby for an hr to check in without being charged a huge early check-in fee.

cleanliness and style are great! love the adjustable bed, super comfy. Especially love the light settings.

Staff were somewhat dismissive at times but this was very shift dependent.

The room itself was spacious enough with good amenities. Nice to have tea and coffee on each floor. View from the room itself was average.

I didn't like the warm welcome from the staff upon arrival, much less the way the check-in was done. I didn't like the bathroom in the room, I even believe I stayed in a smaller room than the one I booked. I didn't like the breakfast because it was included in the stay package (the highest value on the menu) and it was always the same option without being able to change it.

I liked the location of the hotel. I liked the proximity to the metro station.

Couldn't take advantage of our "included" breakfast on Saturday because the restaurant doesn't open until 9am on weekends.

Adjustable bed was a big bonus.

Cost was high. Staff was not very friendly or helpful. They did not seem to like being disturbed with questions

This is nitpicking, but paying the price that we did, parking should have been included

Great location!
