We are a family of 4 visiting DC for a couple of days in December 2024. YOTEL had been recommended to us and did not disappoint. Mainly for the amazing location (you can see the Capitol from the door) but also the good modern setup and facilities. Staff were excellent, pointed us in the right direction and helpful with any questions. We had a double Queen room which was a little small for our group…but very comfortable beds and a nice modern feel. Definitely recommend! Read less

Not impressed with Yotel. Tech has given way to comfort. Lighting is not the best and temp control is way too complicated. Room did not get toasty warm as expected. Farmer's breakfast platter for almost $30?? Bed was uncomfortable and sleep was intermittent due to temp in room and having to readjust controls. I say NO to YO... tel.

We use to love this hotel but after this stay we will not be back. There was no wash clothes. We ask for some and was told they no longer use them and gave us hand towels which was very hard to wash with. We will not be back to stay here and will not recommend any one else.

This hotel is not worth the expense. I booked it through a third party and was not informed about the specific hotel assigned to me. Upon arrival, the room felt small, and although the queen bed was comfortable, it seemed cramped. The air conditioning unit was unbalanced; setting it to 69 degrees made the room freezing, while 70 or 71 degrees felt too warm. There was no ideal temperature. The bathroom was strange, lacking an enclosed space and only having a sliding door for privacy. I also found it unusual that the hotel did not provide washcloths, and there weren't enough towels for more than one person sharing the room. Moreover, the soap in the bathroom had a terrible smell, and there was only one roll of toilet paper. The TV was not smart so that I couldn't access Netflix or similar services, and there was no microwave in the room. If you ordered food delivery, the delivery personnel were not allowed to bring it to your room; you had to pick it up in the lobby, where it sat on an unattended table, vulnerable to theft. The lobby itself could have been cleaner, especially the chairs and tables. The rug was filthy and stained, there were spots on the ceiling, and the bathroom sink had not been cleaned before my stay. There were also scuffs on the walls. While the hotel featured some tech-savvy aspects, like adjustable lighting around the mirror, it still wasn't worth the hidden fees I encountered. I was charged $100 per night for incidental expenses plus an additional hotel fee of about $35 per night, resulting in a total cost of over $400 for a short trip. However, I did receive my $300 back shortly after checking out. I was also unaware that the hotel was near a fire station, which explained the constant sound of fire trucks during my entire stay. The coffee was only available for a limited time, early in the morning, and the breakfast was overpriced. On a positive note, the staff—particularly the front desk, security, and cleaning crew—was excellent; they were the only bright spot in my experience at this hotel. Overall, this was the worst hotel stay I have ever had, and I will not be returning. Read less
