Liaison Capitol Hill Hotel, Washington
Expert reviews
“A less expensive and slightly less elegant but equally convenient option is the Liaison Capitol Hill, an Affinia Hotel, with 343 rooms and a seasonal rooftop deck and pool, an unusual feature for hotels at this price. Locals still flock to the four-year-old Art and Soul, run by Art Smith, best known as Oprah’s chef.”
Featured in New York Times’ 36 Hours in Washington, D.C.
“DC’s cool side shows in this Capitol Hill hotel, from the sleek lobby to stylish rooms to swank rooftop bar and pool (complete with rentable cabanas).”

Wanted to stay near the Capitol and the National Mall. The Yotel Washington is in a great location
Wanted to stay near the Capitol and the National Mall. The Yotel Washington is in a great location for a walk. The hotel itself is very purple. Also stayed in a Yotel in Singapore. The vibe is quite unique. Loved taking a swim early in the morning or late at night when the pool is almost empty. The views at dusk or dawn are so nice. A great way to start or end the day. Bonus: After a certain point in the day it is adult only. On each floor, there are coffee and water stations. Unfortunately the ice and water did not work on our floor. Tea is also available on request at the front desk in a locked box. For the daily resort fee, a $10 daily credit was included. It cannot be used on the day of check out. This was not communicated until we checked out. Not sure what else the resort fee included, but the pool was closed on Saturday night to hotel guests as it was rented out for weekly for pay pool parties. Still a very convenient location in Washington, DC.

Fantastic accommodation. Was a pleasure to stay there
Fantastic, modern spacey rooms, comfortable bed. Great bar area. Short walk to station.
28 August 2025
Would do it again
The bed was really cool, so were the lights in the room. Def had a great modern feel, cozy vibe. The bed was sooooo comfortable to me.
Felt a bit over priced. I mean I understand that those beds and light upgrades are expensive but I mean …. Really that expensive? The stuff is probably paid off by now lol. Other than the fancy cosmetic upgrades it offered everything a regular room would

Overall, nice hotel and good location.
Very modern with the design of the rooms. Nice bar and good food. Great location close to the main station and only a few minutes walk to the main city where the restaurants are. Main attractions are only a few km’s walk away.
One of the staff came across quite rude with her ‘early check in fee’ talk when I arrived, even though I was only looking to drop my bag off. I mean if the room is ready, why have an early check in fee?! Breakfast is very expensive if you don’t eat a lot. In the night there was a sound coming from outside like a concert was on in own… even though outside I could hear nothing… but the room walls are quite thin as you can hear your neighbours opening and closing their drapes.

Good hotel, nice rooms, excellent location
Nice hotel, good location, close to the Mall and all the museums. Parking was a little expensive - 60 USD/night if you chose to have multiple in-out's
Expensive parking
25 August 2025
Clean & close
The staff was wonderful, I lost my wallet and the last time I remembered seeing it was when I checked in at the kiosk, the desk agent called security and they pulled the video clearly showed me putting it back in my purse. This allowed me to know when I had it last & I was able to get it back from the restaurant the next night!
We were confused by the lights in the room.

Excellent stay at a good price.
Location is excellent, walking distance from Capitol, White House, Monument, Lincoln Memorial, and most museums. Very modern style. Parking underground (paid)
Little coordination between the reception staff and the parking gate keeper. It took him 10 minutes to figure out that I already paid for 24 hrs before he opened the gate to me. Drainage in the sink was clogged.
22 August 2025
Good deal in the heart of the city
Excellent location. Affordable prices very close to the main attractions of the city. It is good price quality ratio. The swimming pool was great. The staff let us in, even if we arrived just few minutes before closing time.
Everything was OK.

Excellent stay except for no tea & coffee in room
Location, good value
No tea coffee in rooms as was advertised in Booking.com website

Room, cleaning, bed and hotel location
They don't have any cafe service or a machine in their lobby. Also, they don't have any coffee options in their room. Same as for water, they have a machines on floor but it doesn't work

Pool was great. Room was decent.
They don't supply washcloths. I have never heard of or experienced a hotel that does not give you washcloths..That is very odd and they don't tell you that when you book the room. Only TOWELS NO WASHCLOTHS.

Great modern hotel
Good location, lime Parking outside hotel, can see the capital building, walking distance to the union station, with lots of food options. Lots of local buses/metro. Hope on hope off bus tour is 5 minute walk. Free ice cold water machine on each floor. Rooms are amazing, bed was the most comfortable I've ever slept. Self check in very Convenient.
Nothing not to like

Spacious and clean room, very prompt staff. Great location
Noisy, no pillows (which made it rather uncomfortable), air conditioning was too aggressive, and some sockets didn't work.

Good location and acceptable price justifies selection of this Hotel despite some drawback.
Good location, nice Hotel, acceptable price.
I personally do not like glass door on the bath and toilet, it does not offer sufficient separation from the room. Breakfast is normal, but the serving stuff did not speak English at all, even "hot water" caused problem for them. After 8:30 the "speaking stuff" arrived, two ladies, then it was all right.
7 August 2025
A comfortable and convenient stay.
The staff was kind and the room was spacious. The beds are very comfortable and so is the bathroom.
The swimming pool is incredibly crowded and hence inaccessible. Reserving space was complicated and unnecessarily difficult. There is clear wear and tear on the furniture and bathroom.
5 August 2025
Very good
Location. close to Union station and National Mall. room was also clean and tidy
Swimming pool. On the day of our arrival, there was a pool party. Next morning the pool was dirty - this was disappointing.

Urban nice place
Beautiful place, little to noisy at the pool but everything else very nice

Didn’t stand out to me, would probably book again if I had nothing else in budget.

The staff was available
The pool was unavailable for me on my first night because the hotel this is the party and they told me to go on booking.com to complain to get $35 back

Really spacious room. Quiet area. Pretty chill out on the rooftop pool. Complimentary water all day at every floor corridor and coffee in the mornings
Not too clean. We found dirty clothes on the floor corridor that was there for more than 20hours. In our room was food probably from previous guest in the fridge. Bed were not that comfortable and I didn't like the made the beds with blankets under the sheets, in contact with the skin.
24 July 2025
Great stay make sure this is on your list of options.
We had a great stay at the hotel, such a warm welcome and very comfortable stay.
We were happy with all apsects of our stay
22 July 2025
Perfect for a short day discovering Washington
The setting is really nice and the staff is exceptionally friendly. Loved it! The pool is great and you can order (nice!) food and drinks which really functions well. We liked that in addition to ice there was also water at each floor so we didn’t have to buy bottled waters. The overall spirit of the place feels great.
We would have liked the pool stays open longer in the night. And one morning it opened so late, that we could not have our coffee at the terrace as expected. Maybe something went wrong that day? All the rest was just great.

Location and see all the cool people
I was next to the outside channel that had some noise. Not too bad though.

It was good but not amazing.
The location was really good. The room was need and perfect for 1. The staff was very kind and helpful.
The room floor felt a bit dirty when I arrived and the bedsheet was still wet around the edges of the bed. I picked this hotel mainly because of the pool, and was a bit bothered by the fact that theres was a "private" poolparty on Saturday.

Location was excellent for going around Washington DC.
There was false fire alarm in the morning and we had to go down before breakfast.

Really modern and clean room with great bed and facilities. Deck 11 also a really great addition and the location is perfect to explore the capitol.
The light was hard to set in the bathroom, no place to put your cloths during showering.

The Roof Top pool is run by a 3rd party at weekends, so not always available
9 July 2025
Perfect location.
The room was spacious, light, and clean. The staff was very empathetic and helpful. The bed was comfortable. The location is perfect, close to Union Station, the Capitol, and local public transport.
Although the room was spacious, it lacked enough storage space for the luggage of two people. The shampoo and body wash exhibit a very unusual smell. The events at the rooftop pool were quite loud. Luckily, they ended just with the sunset.

Ok.
Very clean. Close to the capitol.
Loud music till early morning hours. No conjoining rooms for families.

Nice comfy beds, nice room facilities and lighting. Nice ice and coffee machines at the floor level for free coffee. Nice bar and restaurant for breakfast at the lobby level.
Expensive.

The property was nice, but the rooms did not include a microwave and the refrigerator did not get cold

Great location, rooms clean and spacious.
Hotel was clean and rooms were spacious. Good location for exploring sights. Within walking distance of many tourist hotspots and the train station. The beds have an electronic mechanism which allows you to put the back rest up which was great and very unexpected.
We arrived and were told we owed the nightly tax fees, we explained that we had already paid them within the price. The lady on reception was adamant that it was not possible to pay these in advance and wanted us to pay them again. Thankfully had kept all correspondence and was able to show we had already paid.

Very good
Great location, wonderful pool, staff were attentive- good skin and barricade products also, and the shower was phenomenal!
They missed cleaning our room on one day, then forgot the towels the next day- this was recompensed at the end, however. Also would be great to have coffee making facilities later than 10am! And to have a diffuser attachment for the hairbrushes.

Great location near the Capitol and the National Mall. Great rooftop pool and bar area.
Some personnel was not very friendly. The light sensor in the bathroom kept turning of the light while you were in the shower or using the toilet.

I like the staff I like the lighting in the room and I like the the location it was at The soundproof walls were kind of cool
I didn’t like the fact I had to pay for breakfast. I did not like the fact that there was no refrigerator in the room or microwave.

The staff were very friendly. The room was clean and the beds were very comfortable.
I don't like that I was charged $40 for the facility fee. The booking site stated that I would be charged a mandatory $35.00 fee

Good location with value for money.
Location is very convenient, and in the center of the city. Good distance for walking from subway station. We took the subway from airport. It is quite good choice. And have many choices of dinner and breakfast.
The sound insulation is not good, we heard the next door flighting during the mid night. The couple flighting for more than half an hour. It was qutie awkward. And it is close to fire station, it is quite noisy during night.

Comfortable, clean hotel within easy reach of all the sites
Modern and clean hotel room. Comfy bed and hot shower with good water pressure. Appreciated the hairdryer and iron. Free coffee at the end of the corridor. Decent location - half hour walk to the White House but very close to the Capitol Building.
Parking was $50 overnight. We saw cheaper places a short walk away so worth checking. Lights in the room were difficult to get right. Either pitch black or very bright!

Location and staff at the reception & bar.
The housekeeping did not do well as the room was not cleaned.

Location, location, location
The location of the property was great. Close to the station and also all sights along the National Mall. Very easy to walk around this part of the city. The restaurant downstairs was very useful after a sightseeing day
Some facilities, e.g. coffee machines on all floors till 10 in evening seemed to be out of action every afternoon.
