Hotel Lombardy

10/10 Excellent

"Such a great stay and would easily go there again. Loved the rooms and the dates and overall, everything."

Arlo Washington DC

8/10 Good

"The hotel was extremely clean and the room was nice. The attached coffee shop was very convenient. The staff was not very welcoming or attentive. While checking in the one employee was complaining to the other one about the job. Later that night I ordered pizza and saw it sitting on the counter but nobody acknowledged me until I said something. Just a side note, an FYI really, the bed does not have a top sheet, only a comforter but they will bring one at your request. The pool was extremely small and crowded but to even have a pool on the rooftop in DC was pretty cool."

4 tips for savvy savings when booking a hotel in Washington

Book for the cheapest times: The most budget-friendly months to visit Washington are January, February, and December, when hotel prices tend to be lower. For those looking to explore the city’s rich history and culture, a stay of at least 2 to 3 days is recommended. This duration allows for ample time to discover key landmarks, including stunning monuments, engaging museums, and vibrant theatres, all of which offer great value for money. Visitors can also enjoy the city's natural parks, beautiful floral displays, and delightful dining options, making for a well-rounded and affordable trip.
Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To discover last-minute deals for accommodation in Washington, begin by exploring the Deals or Last-Minute Deals sections on Hotels.com, where you may find discounted rates as your travel date approaches. Consider enabling email alerts or push notifications to stay updated on flash sales and special promotions, helping you save on your booking. Furthermore, Smart Shopping is a handy comparison tool available in the app that allows you to compare hotel prices and amenities, ensuring you're more likely to see the best options. This way, you'll be informed of any price drops or availability changes, making your last-minute getaway more affordable.
Be flexible with dates: Prices can fluctuate due to factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year, so having some flexibility with your travel dates could help you save on your stay in a Washington hotel. For those seeking distinctive experiences, boutique hotels often provide a more personalised service and may offer better value. When you book through Hotels.com, we’ll inform you whether the price for your chosen dates is above or below the average. If the price is on the higher side, we’ll recommend alternative dates that could be more affordable, helping you to potentially secure a better deal.
Consider your location: Opting for accommodation nearer to major attractions or city centres may provide convenience, but it often comes at a higher price. For more affordable options, you might consider hotels in less central areas or neighbourhoods, striking a balance between cost and accessibility to the sites you wish to visit. Additionally, independent hotels a bit further out are usually likely to be more affordable and can offer a more authentic experience.
