Top National Museum of African Art Hotel Reviews

Washington Plaza Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Staff were very friendly, room was very clean and great location"

Hyatt Regency Washington on Capitol Hill

10/10 Excellent

"Rooms have recently been upgraded. Staff is friendly and helpful. Close proximity to Capitol."

Arlo Washington DC

10/10 Excellent

"How tall is very nice clean conveniently located"

citizenM Washington DC Capitol

10/10 Excellent

"I liked the stay as a solo traveler because the room was like a state - room on a cruise ship. It was very stylish and comfortable. But for two people the queen size bed is placed horizontally in the room so the person next to the window would have to climb over the other person to get in and out of the bed. But didn’t bother me as a solo traveler. Also everything is controlled on an iPad. The only thing I had to call the front desk for was about the temperature control but other than that, I enjoyed my stay, although I don’t remember having a coffee maker in the room. However, the breakfast area was very comfortable and they have craft coffees at a price. The breakfast wasn’t included.The location was excellent. Just an easy walk to the museums and to the wharf for dining."
