What guests think
Reviews of The Jefferson, Washington, DC consistently praise its intimate, historic charm, exceptionally attentive staff, and refined atmosphere, while noting clean, comfortable rooms and a quiet, walkable location near major sights.
A few reviews report smaller room sizes, firm beds or uncomfortable pillows, occasional noise or kitchen smells on an upper floor, and rare housekeeping or check in lapses. Dining and drinks are widely enjoyed, with the Quill bar and quality food noted, though the bar is small, prices can be high, and variety felt limited by some. Overall, expect a polished, historic boutique stay with a quiet, convenient base for Washington sightseeing.

This property is amazing! Close to everything and the staff are wonderful and so helpful. We loved eating at Quills one night and sitting in the library drinking our coffee every morning before exploring the city. We really enjoyed the bathtub in our room with the wonderful bath salts. You made our anniversary so special with the chocolate covered strawberries! We can’t wait to stay again!

The staff were very welcoming and knowledgeable from the moment you enter the door to the friendly chatter at the bar, and the peaceful breakfast at the Greenhouse. The hotel is rich with history and it's designs reflect it so much so you almost feel you were transported to colonial America.

Beautiful boutique hotel with stellar customer service. Staff was on point from the moment we pulled up to the front door at valet parking. Reception was warm and inviting. I cannot say enough about the concierge service and staff. Restaurants and bar were top notch. I have never stayed in a friendlier hotel with a warmer staff. Will definitely be back as a customer.

Always love the Jefferson Hotel and especially all the little cozy nooks where one can have an intimate conversation. I remember it being closed for the renovation and could not wait to see the improvements.

I wanted to like this hotel, especially after reading the reviews. My initial room was not clean enough to stay in - moved to a new room sometime after 10pm. Staff argued with me when I asked for ice - argued ice was in the fridge when it wasn't. Pay attention to the reviews as most are not for people staying at the hotel itself. Rooms on the 5th floor are noisy and you can smell the kitchen. Rooms do not have an iPad - they are Lenovo tablets. The tablet in the first room provided me with more access to actually utilize the tablet than the second room. The mini Bose speaker in the second room would not connect to the Lenovo tablet. The staff that work the front desk are generally unhelpful and unpleasant. I informed them that it was my first stay and didn't know anything about the hotel - I was shown the elevator. Plenty of opportunities for revenue lost. Asked the staff to replace the stained towel in my bathroom. Instead, a pile of towels was sent to my room and the stained towel remained. The period era antique cobwebs on the light in the first room were a nice touch. I assume the black stuff on the bed was a horrible stain from the iron. The mini fridge in the room is stocked with hotel choice beverages - you touch, you buy. Not sure if they really do housekeeping two times a day. They did turn down the bed two out of the three nights. The bed was not touched the night they placed me in the new room.

I was extremely impressed by this hotel. The room and the bathroom were both very spacious and immaculate. The bathroom was beautiful with marble floors. The hotel was quiet and it was in walking distance to the White House, as well as some restaurants. The hotel restaurant, while very pricey, was delicious! I would highly recommend eating there. One of the best parts of the hotel was the staff. They were all extremely accommodating and friendly. John went out of his way to get my family dining reservations. The door men were super friendly to my kids and were very approachable. I highly recommend this hotel. I am very picky and did a ton of research before choosing.

I was incredibly satisfied with my stay at The Jefferson. Classic charm and styling mixed with luxury. The room itself was incredibly clean, albeit a little small but given the age of the building itself I have zero complaints about it. As someone who usually stays in 3 star hotels for business travel, the cleanliness standard is VERY HIGHLY appreciated. Front of house staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, the complimentary snacks and water provided about an hour into my stay were unexpected but made for a vastly more inclusive experience. The ability to order room service, housekeeping and other services from the provided tablet and app were also greatly appreciated. Knowing anything I could need was just a few taps away added to the excellence of my stay. Overall I would 100% recommend this property for anyone coming to the DC area who is looking for a high class experience, in a charming, comfortable and well kept old hotel.

Our stay was 3 nights. The property is beautiful and the staff are warm and welcoming. We loved that the hotel is a very short walk to the White House- you can see it from the hotel. We walked to the Washington Monument and the Museum of Natural History from the hotel. We had our 8 year-old son with us and therefore utilized Lyft for excursions beyond a mile or two round trip. Make no mistake though - this hotel is in a terrific location for sight-seeing, especially for 1st times to DC like the three of us. Turn-down service, several staff on the door every time we came and went, impeccable house-keeping, assistance with everything (FRIENDLY Valets and Bellhops). At some 5-star hotels, you get the sense that you are being humored (at times even tolerated) for the sake of a tip. This is not the feeling we had at The Jefferson. To the contrary, the ladies and gentlemen who helped us seemed genuinely nice. I cannot say enough great things about the hotel and its staff. The reason for a star deduction is because of the sleep quality. We stayed in a double queen and the bed seemed a little short. I am 6'03" and found myself lying diagonally on the bed in order to "fit". Also, the mattress was too firm for our liking. Last, there are 3 pillow types among the 10 pillows - 4 VERY firm LARGE pillows, 4 King VERY soft pillows, and 2 throw pillows. None of which were comfortable. So much to love about The Jefferson. Just not the beds/pillows.

We have stayed here many times. Service is very good and property is immaculate. Rooms are small but elegant. We didn’t like our room (201) as it had a huge cabinet built out into the room (for no purpose). It seemed to be connected to the canopy over the front entrance. Anyway, it was very inconvenient and we were disappointed to be assigned such a room given our loyalty.

Beautiful boutique hotel with stellar customer service. Staff was on point from the moment we pulled up to the front door at valet parking. Reception was warm and inviting. I cannot say enough about the concierge service and staff. Restaurants and bar were top notch. I have never stayed in a friendlier hotel with a warmer staff. Will definitely be back as a customer.

Location
Location is often praised as walkable and convenient for sightseeing, near the White House and National Mall, yet on a quiet block. One review found the immediate area too office focused and quiet.

Our stay was 3 nights. The property is beautiful and the staff are warm and welcoming. We loved that the hotel is a very short walk to the White House- you can see it from the hotel. We walked to the Washington Monument and the Museum of Natural History from the hotel. We had our 8 year-old son with us and therefore utilized Lyft for excursions beyond a mile or two round trip. Make no mistake though - this hotel is in a terrific location for sight-seeing, especially for 1st times to DC like the three of us. Turn-down service, several staff on the door every time we came and went, impeccable house-keeping, assistance with everything (FRIENDLY Valets and Bellhops). At some 5-star hotels, you get the sense that you are being humored (at times even tolerated) for the sake of a tip. This is not the feeling we had at The Jefferson. To the contrary, the ladies and gentlemen who helped us seemed genuinely nice. I cannot say enough great things about the hotel and its staff. The reason for a star deduction is because of the sleep quality. We stayed in a double queen and the bed seemed a little short. I am 6'03" and found myself lying diagonally on the bed in order to "fit". Also, the mattress was too firm for our liking. Last, there are 3 pillow types among the 10 pillows - 4 VERY firm LARGE pillows, 4 King VERY soft pillows, and 2 throw pillows. None of which were comfortable. So much to love about The Jefferson. Just not the beds/pillows.

Lovely property in a great location for Washington sightseeing. The staff are friendly and attentive. The hotel has a buzzing small bar that is perfect for a drink before going out for dinner. It takes about 10 minutes to walk from the hotel to the White House.

We try to stay at different properties each time we’re in DC. We’ll be hard-pressed to find one that is better than the Jefferson. The rooms sparkled, the staff were incredibly helpful, the amenities were spot-on, and the location was great.

Dining
On site dining is highly regarded: quality food at The Greenhouse and room service, and the Quill bar’s drinks and ambiance draw praise. Some note high prices and, less often, a desire for more variety.

This property is amazing! Close to everything and the staff are wonderful and so helpful. We loved eating at Quills one night and sitting in the library drinking our coffee every morning before exploring the city. We really enjoyed the bathtub in our room with the wonderful bath salts. You made our anniversary so special with the chocolate covered strawberries! We can’t wait to stay again!

The staff were very welcoming and knowledgeable from the moment you enter the door to the friendly chatter at the bar, and the peaceful breakfast at the Greenhouse. The hotel is rich with history and it's designs reflect it so much so you almost feel you were transported to colonial America.

I was extremely impressed by this hotel. The room and the bathroom were both very spacious and immaculate. The bathroom was beautiful with marble floors. The hotel was quiet and it was in walking distance to the White House, as well as some restaurants. The hotel restaurant, while very pricey, was delicious! I would highly recommend eating there. One of the best parts of the hotel was the staff. They were all extremely accommodating and friendly. John went out of his way to get my family dining reservations. The door men were super friendly to my kids and were very approachable. I highly recommend this hotel. I am very picky and did a ton of research before choosing.
