We booked a last-minute stay at this Yotel when our international flight back to the U.S. was canceled and we had to rebook to D.C and take a train (and then our train was cancelled). It’s very conveniently located within walking distance to the Union Starion which is why we booked it; also appreciated that a day-of reservation wasn’t exorbitant like other hotels in the area. The $35 “facility fee” is not a big deal but just a bit annoying as it seems like a strategy to make the hotel seem much cheaper than others (instead of including that within the price). Our room was comfortable, and the adjustable king bed was convenient, though our blankets were tiny and just thin fleece. We were here in February when temperatures were 30-40 outside, and we were surprised such a big hotel didn’t have basic comforters. The gym is pretty small but has everything you need.

The place is clean, the staff is friendly, and it's conveniently close to Union Station. But, it's pretty clear that they took an original hotel and cut the rooms in half because they are CRAMPED. Plus the beds are all glorified Craftmatic adjustable beds, and aren't particularly comfortable.

I recently stayed at YOTEL Washington, D.C. and had a great overall experience. The hotel is modern, stylish, and very comfortable — everything from the lobby to the rooms has a sleek, contemporary design that makes the stay feel a bit more special. My room was clean, well-designed, and equipped with everything I needed for a relaxing visit. The staff were excellent — friendly, accommodating, and always ready to help with anything I needed, which made my stay even more enjoyable. The location was also a big plus, putting me within easy reach of everything I wanted to explore in the city. Overall, YOTEL delivered on all fronts. It was a smooth, enjoyable stay that felt effortless from check-in to check-out. I’d definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting D.C. looking for comfort, convenience, and a modern hotel experience.

I have stayed at Yotel on 3 separate occasions and this last stay was my favorite! Everyone was kind, helpful, and friendly. The room and common space areas (lobby and downstairs bathroom) were spotless. It was a good vibe that was refreshing. And the location and price are hard to beat! Can't wait for my next stay at Yotel!

This was our first visit to Washington, DC, and we truly enjoyed it. Bonji made our experience exceptional with his warm welcome and big smile he was incredibly friendly, attentive, and helpful throughout our visit. He provided excellent recommendations for places to visit and consistently checked in to ensure we had everything we needed. The room was clean and well maintained, which added to our comfort. I would also like to commend the lady at the bar, who was amazing, and honestly, the coffee was the best I’ve ever had. I would definitely recommend this place and would be happy to stay here again in the future.

Really cool spot with an amazing adjustable bed experience, it's like their thing and nice to have when there is no other place to sit in the room. And we did sleep like the dead in our room with the blackout curtains earning a 10/10. We had a nice overall experience and really liked the rooftop pool. I think the poor reviews are a reflection of the hotel seeming kind of souless in character and human connection. Not the place to go if you're a brand person who likes to interact with staff who are eager to serve. Would only stay again if it was cheap.

We stayed at Yotel for a weekend and really enjoyed our stay. The rooms were quiet and the staff was all very friendly. I wish there was electric on both sides of the beds so I could've charged my phone on either side, but we worked around it. When we needed extra towels, we had to ask a couple times but they eventually arrived. It was a busy day though. We would definitely stay here again.
