Hotel di Bloomingdale, Washington D.C.

The hotel is very good, in the Washington DC area, with an excellent location. You can actually walk to the attractions. The service is good. The hotel should have been renovated in recent years. Other hotels in DC are generally too old. The white supervisor at the front desk is very responsible and has a good attitude. The restaurant service is also good. I prefer the American breakfast method of ordering food, but there are too few types of American breakfast.

The charm of this renovated boutique hotel just steps off of DuPont Circle is only outmatched by the level of friends and customer service provided by the staff. You cannot ask for a more convenient location. There’s the DuPont Metro stop steps away, but we find many attractions are within a 30 minute walk. The rooms are well appointed with up-to-date furnishings and design, and glorious mattresses. The staff is super friendly and helpful. The free cocktail at 5pm isn’t bad either

The room is very large, the toilet is also large, and the interior is very designed But the service is very average. You have to go downstairs to get water yourself. There is no water delivery service. The location is not as convenient as near the museum area, but it is very clean and safe. It is next to the embassies of Serbia and Kazakhstan.

The facilities are old and the ice machines and vending machines are broken. The environment is very good and the transportation is convenient. The staff has a good sense of service, but the staffing is insufficient. Breakfast is an a la carte system, and it took nearly 50 minutes for the food to be served.

Classy hotel, well situated with friendly and efficient staff. Dinner was well executed offering both indoor, patio and bar seating depending on your preference. There is a library room with a fireplace to relax with a drink or coffee in the morning. Also a nice gym downstairs including Peloton bikes. Definitely a step up from the big hotel chains and a lovely place to stay while visiting Washington DC.

Check in was great, as I was able to get a room before the designated check in time, because my flight arrived early in the morning. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom had plenty of towels. The hotel is also walking distance from many shops and restaurants in DuPont Circle, which made it a great location to be in. I’d definitely return to this hotel whenever I come back to DC!

The advantage is of course the good location. If you are physically fit, you can walk to the main attractions. The room is also big enough. We booked a suite with a large twin bed and a sofa bed. It is no problem for a family of four to live there. There are also kitchenware for cooking (of course, it is not realistic to cook properly. I cooked instant noodles twice for midnight snacks). For breakfast, it is best to go down early. This store is very popular. There are queues for breakfast during the days I stayed there. As for the quality of breakfast... American simple meals, there are only a few items, but the quantity and calories are sufficient. The taste is certainly not friendly to Asian stomachs. When I first arrived, an elevator broke down. I waited for that elevator... Later I took the stairs directly to exercise. Fortunately, the floor is not high. The worst thing is parking. It costs more than 50 dollars a night, and there is only valet parking. You have to tip when you pick up the car in the morning. In fact, there are many parking lots across the street, which cost more than 30 a night. You can park across the street. However, you must pay attention that parking lots have business hours. Don't park in parking lots that are closed on weekends. When they are not open for business, the shutters will be closed and there will be no staff. If you park your car on Friday, you will have to wait until Monday when they start working to get your car back (don't ask me how I know this). What about the weekend? Look at the parking signs on the roadside, which will indicate the parking time allowed or not allowed. In the United States, ”anything is allowed unless prohibited by law”. To put it bluntly, parking on the roadside is basically free on weekends... I won't go into details about this, because it would be a shame to say more. I didn't understand until the day I left that I paid a lot of $2.3 per hour on the weekend...

Small and exquisite hotel, clean and tidy, good service. But the overnight parking fee is $35. There is a breakfast shop on the right side of the hotel about 5 minutes away and the business is booming. You can walk to the White House and other attractions.

Overall, the hotel is good and not too far from the center. It's a bit complicated to get through metro but otherwise the service is warm and kind.
