    Beautiful hotel located in DuPont circle. Conveniently located. Most rides were under 10-15min. Staff were polite and personable. Breakfast was ok. Very basic. Wine hour was a huge plus. The price of this hotel is a steal. Would highly recommend.

    The room was very nice and the hotel is in an excellent location; the DuPont area. My only complaint was the water pressure in the bathroom. The bathroom had excellent finishes and looked great but no water pressure.

    I enjoyed my stay at the Normandy, however, I developed an allergy that only affected in my room which caused me to sneeze uncontrollably during the last two days of my stay. It did not bother me outside of my room.

    Location was good for me, in a beautiful area. Room was clean, bed was very comfortable. There were a few issues that I reported to the front desk upon checkout. Specifically, there was a strong sewage odor in the bathroom, the bathroom door handle was loose and falling off, and the bathroom exhaust fan was not functioning. Additionally, although I had requested a quiet room, the soundproofing was quite poor, and I was awakened early in the morning by noise from other guests.

    Even though hotel is pet friendly it was very clean & fresh smelling. The rooms are spacious and spotless, the bed and pillows were extremely comfortable, and the shower was amazing. Breakfast offered a great variety, including fresh fruit (blueberries and cantaloupe), breads, meats, cheeses, and delicious fresh juices. The location is excellent—within walking distance of some fabulous restaurants. I wish there were more hotels like this. We will definitely be returning to it. Thank you for making our stay so pleasant.

    Very clean small boutique hotel close walking distance to many restaurants. It was also walkable to Embassy Row, and the National Cathedral where we had a memorial service for a family member. The White House was a 1.5 mile easy walk where we could catch a hop on hop off bus. Staff very responsive. Continental breakfast had many items including a pancake maker, bagels, English muffins and breads, hardboiled eggs, yogurt, cereal. We will stay here again if we return to DC.

    Nice and quiet. Small rooms and much older hotel, but some rooms may be bigger if you pay more I’m not sure. It does show some signs of aging but that didn’t bother me at all. The breakfast good quality and all I need. All the options were fairly healthy although they ran out of boiled eggs quick every morning! Free coffee always ready whenever, love that. They also did a free wine hour from 6-7p, which was just nice to have offered. Staff were professional and personable. I probably won’t stay anywhere else in DC due to my recent experience with them. Not worth having a bad experience somewhere else when I know this place is exactly what I want.

    The room (114) was clean. The light fixtures are below average including light switches & receptacles, refrigerator display was broken, so my meal was not kept cold, my last day I figured (guessed) the correct temperature setting. There is a dip in the floor in front of refrigerator that can twist an ankle. My number one complaint (which I did not make any of the staff aware of, until check out) is, the controls to the AC are stuck on high fan and coldest setting. I enjoy a cold room, so for me it was tolerable, but for some it may be uncomfortable. Breakfast was a nice experience, as was the open wine bar in the evening. The Normandy staff I cannot give enough applause to, they were very profesional and polite.

    Booking this hotel was a choice as the conference I was attending was nearby (sold out). I never attended the 5pm wine & cheese. I went to breakfast once and grabbed a muffin. I had coffee once. The milk was opened 10 days prior and there were no other options. Staff were friendly in the sense they said hi and bye but didn't really feel like I could even tell them about the milk because no one was really attentive to the breakfast. I ended up walking to the nearby Kalorama Market. There isn't enough space to talk about how disappointed I was in the quality of the room or the smell on the floor (raccoon? weed? sewer?). Maybe the rooms with the balcony/views are better. Mine had a view of another building, straight into other apartments. I wouldn't book again unless it was extremely inexpensive.

    We always stay at this boutique hotel, conveniently located about a 5 minute drive from the Czech Republic embassy. The room design is great and always a highlight of our stay. Unfortunately, during this visit it was unusually warm for March in DC, around 80°F, and the hotel did not have air conditioning available. That said, the staff was great as always and quickly provided a fan to help make the room more comfortable.

    The property is easy walking distance from Dupont Circle north station. The room was clean and well decorated. There is a wonderful seating/cafe dining area on the ground floor that includes a library, a sunroom, and an outdoor seating area. Every morning a wonderful european style breakfast is served including cheese, lunch meets, yogurt, hardboiled eggs, waffles, toast, jam, fruit, cereal and a variety of bread. Every evening at 5pm, a cheese and cracker with wine or coffee/tea is served for a nice pre-dinner appetizer when you return from being out fo the day. The inn is very relaxing and quaint in a neighborhood filled with embassies. The gold gym pass is also a plus. The inn is wonderful for vacation or business uses.

Too bad the snow had not been plowed by the city as it made it difficult to navigate in and out of the hotel. Overall a pleasant stay and would definitely come back when in DC.

    The room and bathroom were pretty clean and comfortable. I needed to use the wifi for meetings throughout my entire stay and unfortunately, it was unstable the entire time. I appreciated the eco-friendly touches (toilet paper, key cards, etc.). The shower nozzle ended up falling out while I was showering and bruised my foot. The sink was also not draining very well. I loved the water kettle for making tea and the fact that there was a water dispenser outside our room. It was a bit difficult to adjust the temperature in the room (I was often cold) but I'm also happy that I was able to open the windows for some fresh air. Overall, it was a pretty good stay with some minor issues. I would definitely recommend this to others as it was also a very convenient walking distance from many places in the city (restaurants, events, etc.).

    The check-in desk is not ADA accessible. They have a ramp but there are still steps down to the desk. The handrails by the steps from the check-in desk to the elevator are wobbly- not great for people with a mobility issue —the front desk staff member on Saturday morning called maintenance to try and fix them. Hopefully they are now secure.

My husband had to adjust the ball inside the tank, the bed was not positioned right, and there is a metal piece that fell off, and it rocked, there were no cranks on some of the windows, I had to use my hand to push them out and to try to close them, There wasn't enough light in the room, our TV wasn't working right we had to have a service man come in at 9 o'clock at night, there was an odor in the bathroom. I could not identify, but was not pleasant, and that was just a few other things

    The staff was very friendly and helpful. Our room was comfortable but there were some small things that probably need repair. For example, even though the air conditioner was set to 66 degrees, it never got cooler than 71. It wasn’t uncomfortable so we just dealt with it. Also, the carpet near the ac/heat unit was missing, like someone cut a chunk out but never replaced it. It was about 8 inches so again, nothing major but definitely noticeable. Other than that, it was in a great location with easy access to many restaurants. We never took advantage of the breakfast so I can’t speak to that but we did enjoy the wine and cheese hour a couple of days. There was a large group staying there so the first night we did not get any wine because they only put out one bottle of red and one bottle of white. The 2nd night, we got a little red but the white was gone, again, it was quite of few people there so with only two bottles, it went fast. I wish they would have put out more bottles at least so it lasted thru the hour. I would recommend this hotel.

    This is a really neat hotel that offers modern amenities. The building is older and parts of it (like the elevator) give off creepy vibes lol but I liked it. The front desk staff was extremely friendly. I saw reviews complaining about the room size but it did not seem any smaller than most other hotel rooms. The hotel is very pet friendly, with no extra fee and even had treats for them in the lobby. We did not pay for Valet parking but had no issue finding parking on the street.

    The hotel is a gem in the midst of the embassy district along Connecticuit Avenue. The rooms are of modest size but the price was a true bargain. We had our dog and, not only was there no pet fee, our dog was provided with a bag of peanut butter dog treats. The staff was most helpful and condial. We recommend the Normandy without reservation.

    The Kalorama Market on California is a short walk and known for its cappuccino, daily sandwiches, and weekend pizzas. The afternoon wine and cheese reception is a nice touch, but paying $8 for a reusable water bottle was a bit much. The hotel difffuses some kind of spicy scent into the air system. In some common areas I found it overpowering and it made me cough. Shut off my AC, which helped. My room had a Juliet balcony but couldn't easily open the patio swing doors because the cornice was too low. Staff was always welcoming and helpful.

    The Normandy was close - walking distance -to a function that I had plans to attend. While I think it is part of some chain it was very different from a large hotel, seemed very simple and comfortable in a somewhat elegant way. While it was roomy, it had a more intimate feeling without a huge street presence. Room was quiet, clean, just fine for my simple needs. I would be happy to stay here again and recommend to others.

    If you have a room in the 6th floor there is a constant loud humming / machine noise throughout the floor. They gave someone else a key to our room and they walked in on us. Both our rooms A/c didn’t work. One wouldn’t switch off and one wouldn’t switch on. Valet is pretty much the only option and it’s expensive. The breakfast not worth $15

    One thing that DID seem true was that the room was really warm (in February) and the thermostat didn't seem to do much to adjust the temperature. Since it was cold outside, we just cracked the window and it was fine (another reason to love hotels where you can still open the windows, by the way). Your mileage may vary based on the time of year you visit and how they've set the building HVAC. ALL the staff we encountered were wonderful. On our way out, a gentleman from housekeeping was making the rounds in the hallway. He cheerfully said hello and wished us a good day and we let him know we were checking out of our room. We had parked down the street out front and as I was loading the last bag, the young man from the front desk ran up holding my wife's hairbrush, which we had left in the room. The return of that $2 brush took the coordinated care and flat-out hustle of several staff members and proves that "guest service" is still alive and well, at least at the Normandy. We will happily stay again.
