Location was very ideal - close to the metro and food options. Did not have as many amenities as other hotels but was good value for the price. Bed was comfortable and water pressure in shower was strong! Only wished the room had a fridge for leftovers I brought back.

The Architect was a charming, small hotel in an excellent location. The bedroom was small, but the bathroom (especially the shower) was amazing. The staff was very helpful and let us check our bags until it was time for our flights.

I got what I paid for. Convenient location with a budget stay. Everything is old. The room is clean, with a loud but functional AC. Shampoo and soap are minimal but provided.

Great location, old style boutique hotel. Easy walk to the museums and close to a good train route to some other attractions like the Arlington Cemetery and the Washington Nationals Baseball ground. We will definitely stay here again when we are back in town

I've stayed at this hotel more than a handful of times. Rooms are always very clean! Really no amenities to comment on. Great place for the person that just needs a place to sleep and shower and go about your business. Close to metro. Plenty of places to eat and see nearby.

Nice simple hotel. Good bed and shower. Friendly service at the reception near by the White House a otherwise well known monuments

The location of the hotel is great. It’s not flashy place at all but the staff are friendly. It’s fine for a short stay especially if you don’t plan to stay indoors often.

Verified review

8/10 Very good

It’s a nicely renovated hotel and very clean. My only complaint was that the shower head was broken and the water pressure was very poor. It was a struggle to actually shower under a thin stream of water. Half of the water actually shot up to the ceiling. The hotel staff are generally friendly and helpful but it depends who is on staff that day.

2/10 Poor

It was very noisy (at the intersection of two major roads) and the bed was of poor quality. Location was excellent.
Verified review

8/10 Very good

Very nice hotel if your plans are just to sleep there. Very clean and comfortable. It doesn’t have a restaurant or breakfast bar. The hotel does have a small sitting area with a coffee station. But there is a Starbuck’s at the other end of the block and plenty of restaurants and bars within walking distance. I would stay here again.

Room was small but clean, staff was friendly, parking overnight on weekends is difficult to find close to the property
Verified review

6/10 Good

Small hotel, some modern amenities, but kind of outdated/historic. Rooms were okay, air conditioners worked well (some reviews said they didnt) and the showers were hot. If you aren't spending much time in your room it's a perfect cheaper hotel.
Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

Only main complaint is that our room was muggy, with and especially without the ac, and the lobby could use a renovation. Otherwise, fantastic stay, loved the location, room was super clean, and the staff was delightful.
