Even though the rooms are smaller (but plenty big enough!), Hotel Hive provided everything we needed for our stay in DC. We were able to eat breakfast in the morning, have a light dinner (pizza 😊) and drinks at night, and were in close enough proximity to everything we wanted to see that we could walk everywhere. It was also a short 10-15 minute walk to the Metro (to get us to and from the airport or to places that were farther away than we wanted to walk) and had bikes and scooters that could be rented just around the corner as well. We found Hotel Hive fit our needs perfectly and would definitely stay there again as well as recommend it to friends.
The hotel has an artsy vibe and the decorations are very modern. It has onsite parking ($52/night) which makes life easier for us. There was a bit of hiccup during our check in as someone from Trip.com cancelled our booking on the day I made the booking. However, the hotel staff went above and beyond to help us contact here and there to ensure we get the room back. Will definitely stay here again when coming to visit DC.
