Hotels near Shaw in Washington D.C.

It is amazing services and experiences with their staffs. Very friendly, very helpful, very kindness especially one of their hotel bar restaurant and her name is “Patz”. She wonderfully kindness and helpful when I struggled with my handbag letting Inside the train when we can off at foggy bottom station. She letting me to use her phone to contact the lost and found metro office and even talk through with me. Very convenient location between at M street and 22nd St NW. 15 min to White House, then few minute to all the Mall surrounded. Then train from foggy bottom to Union station or capitol for capitol, library congress, Supreme Court and all the popular museums/art gallery along the site. The hotel is the best hotel experiences we have had for our entire first trip IN USA. Just a very weird experience that both my sons got bitten by buds or fleas for the stay but it doesn’t happened to me even we in the same room and bed? All well, hopefully they no other customer had this issues. But I still feel lucky and big thank you to the teams, management and all the other onsite staff. Loved it and will definitely back to you for our next trip to DC….xx

This hotel is excellent! From the ambiance to the service and location, everything is superb! I highly recommend everyone to stay here. Plus, it's right next to the Parliament House, so you can visit first thing in the morning. The front desk even upgraded us to a twin room for free!

This hotel really exceeded my expectations. Most hotels in Washington D.C. are quite old, but this one seems to have been recently renovated, creating a vibe that's both classic and contemporary. The hotel is located north of the White House, on the central axis. While it's a bit of a walk to the subway, it's definitely within walking distance. What truly stands out is the hotel's decor and furnishings. The room perfectly embodied that cozy American aesthetic I imagined, and the bathroom was spacious. The artwork chosen for the room showed good taste, and the lighting in the common areas was very comfortable. Just a heads up, the hotel doesn't provide disposable toiletries, and breakfast is à la carte. I ordered a set meal and coffee, which came to $30 including service, and it was quite delicious.

Even though the rooms are smaller (but plenty big enough!), Hotel Hive provided everything we needed for our stay in DC. We were able to eat breakfast in the morning, have a light dinner (pizza 😊) and drinks at night, and were in close enough proximity to everything we wanted to see that we could walk everywhere. It was also a short 10-15 minute walk to the Metro (to get us to and from the airport or to places that were farther away than we wanted to walk) and had bikes and scooters that could be rented just around the corner as well. We found Hotel Hive fit our needs perfectly and would definitely stay there again as well as recommend it to friends.

After a very long 29-hour journey, the last thing a guest wants is to feel unwelcome upon arrival. Unfortunately, my experience at the front desk was disappointing. The female receptionist with curly hair appeared indifferent while checking me in. Even when speaking to me, she avoided eye contact and seemed focused on other tasks. In hospitality, the reception team creates the first impression of a hotel, and I found this behavior unprofessional and unfriendly. When I checked out, the female receptionist with straight hair was also not particularly welcoming. The only receptionist who showed some warmth and friendliness was the gentleman at the front desk. During my first night, I experienced itching and discomfort. I’m not sure whether it was related to the bedding or towels, but I requested fresh sheets and towels to be replaced. My room was also missing a refrigerator and a safety deposit box, which I would normally expect for a more comfortable stay. That said, I would like to recognize Alma, who kindly provided coffee for my room, and Maira from housekeeping, who worked incredibly hard and was always helpful. They were the highlights of my stay and deserve recognition for their excellent attitude and service. I hope management takes guest feedback seriously, as a more welcoming front desk experience would make a significant difference.

The decoration looks like an old-fashioned hotel, so the facilities are a little bit worse. But the room is big enough, the health is good, there is a coffee machine, and the customer service staff are also very polite. It takes about ten minutes to get to the station.

Overall, the room was nice, clean, and tidy, with an electric adjustable bed. However, I'm not sure why the room type was labeled ”view” as the window overlooked a street. The front desk service was excellent; they allowed us to store our luggage for free on both check-in day and after check-out. There was also complimentary coffee and water in the hallway, which was a pleasant surprise. It would be even better if disposable slippers were provided.

I did not have the pleasure of using the facilities however, I must commend the staff for always being helpful and friendly throughout my stay. I would recommend that the staff be advised on a contingency plan or when there are power cuts in the area to mitigate any discomfort and inconvenience experienced by guests. Unfortunately during my stay at the hotel, the power went out from 4am till the time I checked out at 2pm. It would have been a nice gesture to offer bottled water, discounted rates, coupons or some type of assistance to the guests who were at the hotel to ameliorate the unpleasant situation of being without power for such a long time. Other than that, I think the hotel is in a good location and is easily accessible depending on your needs in DC.

The location is excellent! Make sure to book a room with a monument view; it's directly facing Freedom Square, offering an expansive view of the monument. The front desk staff are all very friendly. The hotel is modest, not overly luxurious – Marriott seems to be positioned a bit lower here than it is in my home country.

Our stay at this hotel in Washington was excellent. The welcome was warm and professional, and the room was spacious, very clean, and perfectly equipped. The staff were always available and attentive, which made our stay even more enjoyable. The location is ideal for visiting the city's main attractions, with plenty of restaurants and public transport nearby. The breakfast was varied and of very good quality. We would recommend this hotel without hesitation and would gladly return on our next visit to Washington. Thank you to the entire team for this wonderful experience!
