Hotel Hive, Washington D.C.

Excellent downtown location close to all historical landmarks, the best affordable price in the area, and polite helpful staff

Overpriced lousy breakfast. Go instead to any nearby dining area where you get a better choice for the same price

Great location, walking distance to Lincoln Memorial and Foggy Bottom subway station. Nice area in midst of George Washington University. Very friendly and helpful staff

Rooms are very small by western standards, but larger than Japanese business hotels. Room decor was a little sterile - painted all white. Food at breakfast was just OK, but reasonably priced

Stylish, new, very clean. Super friendly lady at the reception with great sense of humor. Good location in a good neighborhood close to other main sites

food choice at bar

good view, clean, comfortable hot water.

Tad small. No place to open luggage.

The workers there were amazing! All of them were really helpful. Thanks , girls! Wish you all the best. The location was also amazing.

Nothing. Fair price, awesome location.

Perfect location, I had easy access to everything. Ria from the reception was also exceptional, she gave me some great tips on places to go and things to eat. She was lovely and helped me a lot. Room was cozy, clean, everything and everyone was wonderful.

I've loved it.

The location is great, in the center of everything

The hotel stuffs are quite polite and happy to help all the time. The room is clean, facilities are so good and wifi is excellent.

Nothing at all :)

The design of the hotel both buiilding but as well the interior are amazing with a great eye for detail of their motto

Nothing

Right at George Washington University you cannot have a better location with the Lincoln Memorial in short walking distance as well as public transportation nearby. The hotel has a wonderful roof terrace and attentive and friendly staffers. We enjoyed spending time there in the evenings watching the planes getting into Reagan Airport over a glass of wine. The breakfast room at entry level is also used as a bar. Breakfast choices are fine, so are prices.

The staffers at the front desk were much consumed by their own private weekend encounters, which they loudly and enthusiastically shared with one another for extended periods of time filling the whole bar/breakfast room with their stories. It was hard to get their attention and get things done (for example, getting the disappeared breakfast manager alerted for preparing the check). Talking about the latter: He was a nice, polite, and very comforting service person—we liked him a lot.

Location and value

Loved everything

Staff is very helpful.

Nothing

A desk in the room, even if small would have been great

The location and everything that it had. The pizza place being right next door saved us so much time getting food sometimes. Also the property was easy to reach with car, but also by feet if you for example were out a day to do some sightseeing.

That you couldn’t open the windows of your room. Maybe it was only us but in our room it didn’t work.

Excellent location at walking distance from the government buildings.

Clean, good location, great price and free morning coffee.

Top service by staff and very good room setup

One small thing. The bar staff seemed a bit frazzled and unsupported.

Great location. Halfway between the govt. Buildings and the cafes etc. Staff were very friendly.

It was very small but did have a bathroom. Washington DC is very expensive for what you get. Free lobby coffee was only in the morning so we didn’t get any and had none in our room either.

Location

The Hive Hotel was a cute boutique hotel. They have paid attention to detail and the rooms are small but include everything you need. we loved room 501 on the top floor in the bump out part of the hotel .

The suitcases didn't really have a spot to operate out of but you can make it work. There is no coffee in room but they do have complimentary coffee in the bar downstairs all morning.

Very good hotel - Very close to the Center and main interested buildings such as the Washing monument and the White House - Very good and nice staff - Very good interior of room and hotel - Good breakfast for reason price - Good view from the room and rooftop place

Very small room and separate two-storey bed. But I knew about that

The staff was amazing!!! Great little rooftop bar and restaurant.

Could use a full length mirror in the room.

Great location, the best pizza in DC. Great bar with friendly service and a bit of a view. Check in was easy and they really helped with room selection. This is the place to stay if visiting DC, perfect spot for a good time

The property is modern, stylish, and sleek. The entire staff (shout out to Sunam) are amazing. The rooftop bar has awesome pizza and great views.

The hotel was great — very well located, with friendly and helpful staff. Everything was clean and had everything needed for a comfortable stay. It was quiet, and although the room was small, it was cozy and well equipped. Everything looked just like the photos. Highly, highly recommended!

Great location

The breakfast was not that good.

Clean property, nice location

N/A

Great location, everything is new and clean and has everything you would need for a quick stay.

I attended a work event with a colleague and we wanted to share the room so we opted for the bunk bed option. Room was clean and the bed was very comfortable. Free coffee was appreciated and the location is very convenient.

Love the location. Felt super safe!

N/A

Our room was super clean and staff welcomed us with a big smile ready to answer all our questions. We were given a city guide with useful tips for exploring the city.

Nothing better than a hotel in a central location, great neighborhood vibes, wonderful city and the hotel personnel was fabulous. And definitely the breakfast improved massively after my last time here in February 2024, there's much more options now. I'll come back!!

Central location Attentive professional staff

No fridge in room

It was super convenient to all the tourist capital destinations. A few blocks away of walking distance. Considering that, it was reasonably priced. I loved how convenient the bar and pizza shop was so i didn’t have to leave the entire building to look for food in the evenings after coming back from touring the capital all day. Super clean and very industrial interior vibe, loved it. And the front staff members were all super friendly and informative of their community and whats available. For us, it was super helpful when we were able to get local insights so that we could plan our itinerary accordingly and how to use the public metro systems.

The room was very small. Like a NYC style closet size small. There wasn’t a lot of space to unpack. Anyone that gets claustrophobic might have an issue with it. This didnt bother me as much bc i am young and I am used to smaller city life spaces. My mother on the other hand, open country gal, was not fond of the lack of room space lol

Clean and modern with super friendly staff. Great location 2 mins from Lincoln Memorial

Staff & hospitality. Location perfect. 10 mins walk to metro.

Nothing negative.

Great location. Great rooftop bar.

Would have liked to have a small refrigerator to chill drinks. Breakfast was ok but felt could be a little improved.

The price quality is good. The bar is fun con the other guests.

Sometimes it's hard to understand the other guests.

i liked that it is in a very good location close to the mall and to Georgetown and to the Metro station. i liked the bar and the pizza in the hotel.

the pizza can offer more variety of foods; there is a limit to how many good pizzas you can eat. why not adding some salads or other Italien dishes, or some sandwiches. Breakfast was surprisingly small and not very good... there might be a good idea to put a small Jym in the hotel. the rooms are fine but need more hanging possibilities or a small closet or shelves.

A cozy and clean room in a nice very well-located hotel.

everything - funky interior, excellent location, super nice and friendly staff

Staff is super friendly. Thank you to everyone!

The hotel is super - funky and interesting. The staff is super polite and caring. The location is perfect. We were able to walk to all major sights in 15/20 min. Just perfect!

The communication between Booking.com and the hotel could have been better for a specific case I had.

Very well located to events I was there to attend at Kennedy Center and Watergaye Hotel - easy 3 block stroll. Also close to Foggy Bottom Metro station for fast, direct travel from/to DCA airport. Plus chill and charming GWU neighborhood. Much nicer food and beverage facilities on site than I expected; next time I'll just partake there! Room was small (as stated) but had everything I needed. The bed was super comfortable. And staff was all really really nice and friendly! A great find and value.

Some of the lighting - particularly in bathrooms, both in room and off lobby - really should be brighter. I know Hive is going for a hip subdued vibe, but sometimes you gotta see the details in the mirror! lol

Cozy hotel, everyone from the staff was super friendly, the location is perfect. I liked the bee/hive theme.

Small room but it’s totally fine for one night. Although the room was very clean, the shower slightly smelled like mold, probably cause the shower floor is a bit old.

everything

everything!

Really nice place. The room is smaller than typical (no desk) but it was a very comfortable and clean place. Quiet. Staff were very friendly. No coffee in the room, but they had it downstairs. Safe location.
