Hotel Hive, Washington D.C.

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

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!

The staff was nice the place was cleaned up and put together nicely will be back when I visit Washington DC again

There was nothing wrong with this place

Good location, quite close to Metro and within easy reach of many eating options. Walkable neighborhood in the GWU area. Room was comfortable, small but clean. I liked the breakfast options and free coffee, the flexibility of check in and checkout. Staff were friendly. The AC in the room was quiet and there was a good extractor fan in the bathroom, which you don't always get.

No USB ports (not a huge deal), you had to ask for ice from the front desk (I didn't). My room was not wonderfully soundproof - I heard noise from adjacent rooms and the rooftop bar, but not for long, and it was not a big deal.

Great Location. Great customer service! My (king size) room had a lot of light and super comfortable and spacious!

Hotel Hive has become my favorite place to stay in DC—this was my second time here, and once again it exceeded expectations. A big part of that is thanks to Ria at the front desk. I have rarely experienced such a high level of professionalism paired with genuine warmth. She welcomed me with a sincere smile, patiently answered all my questions and requests, and remained consistently attentive throughout my stay. Her care truly made a difference and made me feel valued as a guest. The hotel itself is excellent: stylish, modern, and thoughtfully designed. Between the welcoming atmosphere, modern comfort, and outstanding staff (with special thanks to Ria), Hotel Hive has earned my loyalty. I’ll definitely be back again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting.

This hotel is close to my family and is a good value for metro DC. It is clean and has a wonderful staff.

There is no microwave in the rooms, and I found the coffee that they have lukewarm, not hot.

I stayed in 521 and the view was nice, and I loved the little live plant that was in the room. I liked that I was close to the stairs if needed and to the roof top too.

I really wish that there was a drink machine close. I was ready for bed and them I wanted a drink but that meant that I would have to get dressed.

The hotel had great proximity to everything, not too close and not too far. It was the kind of in between a hostel and a hotel. I will be looking for a micro hotel or hive hotel in other cities.

I don't know why I couldn't sit in the dining area with my dog. If it's hotel policy I think that should change.

Walkable to main areas in DC. Free coffee, free ice- cold water.

There were limited hanging space.

Great location, nice staff, pretty decor and clean. If you are not going to spend too much time there the buzz rooms are a good deal we took one of the buzz rooms below the reception. It wasn't super noisy but it was a bit small and lacked some details like bed side tables. However it was still comfortable and good value

You don’t come across bunkbeds often and this was very nice traveling with my son. The location was perfect and we could walk to all the main sites.

The breakfast was not good, maybe it was just a one off. The eggs were very dry.

Great location. Nice staff. Pizza bar really nice with Gluten free options

TV wasnt working, and too many noises in the room. The mirror was too small. The corner of the bed it’s really easy to hit by accident, so it could be wrapped in a soft material to avoid injuries.

Excellent location just a short walk to Lincoln Memorial and other attractions. Room on a small side, but clean and new, with a comfortable bed - all you need of you come to hotel just to rest and sleep. Rooftop bar and main bar are very good offering local drafts and cocktails at reasonable prices

Could use a fridge a a bottle of water in room

Location excellent. Lovely pizzas in the bar area. Excellent host Max recommended various places to visit and eat.

Room a bit too small, but workable

Location, clean and service.

Nothing at all

It was clean , and well located. The staff was kind and helpful .

clean, great location

Awesome place. Awesome crew. Awesome food.

Terrific location Safe neighborhood Friendly knowledgeable staff

Nothing

Super friendly and helpful staff and vibe at the hive!! Great bar downstairs and on the roof. Funky decor and themed environment for funky younger people on the move. The products in the bathroom were honey delight!

We knew it was an express hotel with small rooms. However, for the price, we thought our room might have a kettle and complimentary coffee.

Great location and really nice staff

The rooms were great. The buzz rooms really weren’t too noisy at all. The location was excellent. The pizza in the bar was really good too

There isn’t any food options other than pizza, but there are other places nearby.

The staff...very kind and responsive The location

The bunk bed....the metal ladder hurts to climb

Perfect super confortable bed

Perfect location. Nice fun vibe with great pizza cafe and quiet bar inside Lobby. Stellar staff! Clean and industrial feel that works for short stays. Br advised, the single room is TINY! Size of a twin bed and toilet, literally.

European standard size rooms look palatial compared to the single!

The staff was very helpful and did everything with a smile. Nice to see this level of customer service is still alive and appreciated

We could have had our rooms tidy up each day. It was requested but not done.

Very good location near GWU. Fantastic staff.

Rooms are small (but fine for a short stay).

Perfect location

Bigger elevator

Nice hotel, not so fat from the subway station. The rooftop terrace is also pretty cool.

The room is a bit small, but it.was fine.

Location was excellent, walking distance to all main attractions. Stuff was extremely nice and helpful! I traveled with my dog and there was no additional charge. Very clean room, on the smaller size but just enough for what I needed.

N/A

Friendly staff, clean and spacious room, location, vibe, convenience

Noise If you are live on the ground floor, you will need to close the curtain as everyone can look into your room

Staff very friendly and helpful. Location very good. Delivered much more than I expected would recommend 👍

Bed could have been a little firmer, for me at least.

Staff, service, location.

The elevator was out of service when I checked out. I had trouble to take my big luggage from 3rd floor, but the staff at front desk was really helpful. Thanks and really appreciate for her help and great service. Her name is Sunam (my apology if I wrote the name wrongly).

The staff was very nice, the room was clean, the location was great!

Within walking distance to a key metro station. If one is adventurous or has a lot of time, then it’s also possible to walk to some of DC’s key sights from the hotel.

The location , the service and the value

All good

Great location. Convenient pizza place within hotel. Free coffee and tea was nice. The breakfast while limited in options was decent and good price. Gentleman at the bar was very helpful in providing us with info on the metro and even suggested an App to help us with the transit system. Nice people at the front desk.

Friendly staf, perfect location and styllish room

The bulkbed was a bit hard to climb in
