The hotel

In DC's Navy Yard area is the Thompson Washington. From the Roman-style restaurant to the rooftop bar, you'll be sure to be impressed by this sophisticated and relaxed hotel. You'll be just a 15-minute drive from the city's sights like The White House, and there's a handful of bars and restaurants within a short stroll from the front doors of this place. And after a great nights sleep, wake up to the sights and sounds of the city below from your oversized windows.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Rooms are extremely clean. If the Nationals are playing it is also the perfect to stay if you are planning to see a game. In winter though the location is a bit isolated so be prepared to take taxis/car service everywhere you want to go (or the Metro is not far away).

Always a wonderful experience and it’s due to staff such as Binny. He provides 5 star attention to detail before during and after all of our stays. It’s because of employees such as he that go above and beyond that are the reason my coworkers and I will only stay at the Thompson when in DC

Globalist on a quick overnight stay due to cancelled flight - do not recommend.

Globalist on a quick overnight stay due to cancelled flight - do not recommend. I asked for a room with a large working desk - the junior suite I received was an upgrade but terribly designed with the desk barely fitting my 13 inch laptop. It appears that the only room with a serviceable desk at the property is a Thompson suite (a standard suite) - which the hotel claimed was not available despite it showing up when doing a dummy booking in the WOH app. It took 45 minutes and a follow up call for them to deliver a pair of slippers which were unpackaged and appear to be used. Front desk also ignored my calls using the in room phone but picked up on first ring when I used my cell phone. Breakfast benefit was generous but the food was overcooked and tasteless. Overall, this hotel appears to be fancy at first glance but fails to meet the basic requirements of a hotel. Read less

Stayed at Thompson again now at Thompson suite. All around great stay and great deal all things considered. Location is great, restaurant is solid ( especially nice coffee), the room was huge, staffs were generally competent and helpful (and also seemed pretty happy). Naturally booked another stay as I was checking out. But a few things to note - took me some time to realize the elevator was not activated by room key even though it had every look of it. I don't know if it's broken or not. - thompson suite (while very nice) has insuite doors that need to be opened by room key, susceptible to being locked out. Seemed unnecessary - one staff was so aggressive on tip, I was a bit surprised. Like the man could not wait till I strap my kid to stroller and reach for my wallet. I only saw him one day out of 10 day I stayed so it wasn't that big of a deal Read less

Great corner room and comfortable bed. The staff was really friendly and I liked the location. I also stayed at the Waldorf on the same trip. I preferred the view here at the Thompson with a corner room better. Also having a pizza place open till 4 am nearby was great.
