Top Howard University Hotel Reviews

Arlo Washington DC

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel really nice and clean and walking distance to places"

The Henley Park Hotel

8/10 Good

"The hotel is beautiful and the staff incredibly helpful. However, there was no information provided about the restaurant 's hour and offerings. When we wanted breakfast at 11 am, the restaurant was locked. It was only then we were told breakfast ended at 10:30, and lunch began at 11:30. I was a bit dismayed that our $354 room ended up being almost $500. A heads up about taxes and fees from Hotels.com would have been helpful."

Washington Plaza Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Staff, staff, staff. The staff, everyday during my stay made it a wonderful experience, I had to be at the hotel itself more than anticipated and they went above and beyond to be helpful. From the doorman, bellhop, desk check in, to the bartender. It was an awesome experience and I hope to return again. Thank the staff again for me, just let them know it was the guy with the huge long grey fuz jacket, they will remember! Keep that staff at all costs! Forgot the managers, they are all awesome and helpful as well! Excellent team at this time!"

Homewood Suites by Hilton Washington DC Convention Center

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was 10/10"

The Westin DC Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay overall! Only thing was the bar was very expensive. Two 12oz domestic beers was $26.40. That’s absurd for any place. Luckily they give you $20 toward food and beverages and I only had 2 drinks."

Conrad Washington, DC

10/10 Excellent

"We had a lovely stay for a few days in the Dc area. The staff - especially concierge were kind and welcoming and we enjoyed getting breakfast room service. We also enjoyed the byredo bathroom supplies and the hotel in general as well as proximity to metro DC area."

Hyatt Place Washington DC/US Capitol

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean, breakfast was fantastic, all workers were very professional and kind"

Pure Voyage Shaw

8/10 Good

"Apartment was as advertised. I enjoyed the modern kitchen. The apartment was very clean. If you are getting a parking space ask for number to text to open garage door which is on the side of building before you get there. It is within walking distance of Howard University."
