Recently stayed at Sofitel in D.C. and had a wonderful experience. The room was great and the service inside the hotel was top-notch especially the front desk staff. The restaurant breakfast team had food ready in short time, good portions and the croissants were exceptional. However, I believe there’s room for improvement in the external entrance area. First inpressions last a lifetime. It could be more inviting, and a bit more attention to detail from the valet staff in welcoming guests would enhance the arrival experience. Overall, I still had a fantastic stay and would recommend this hotel.

Exceptional service from the staff at the hotel. Impressive lobby. The rooms are in desperate need of some TLC. We weren’t happy with our first room, and were given a second room instead. Although that room was an upgrade and bigger, same of the issues remained. There were stains/markings on a lot of the walls, the air conditioning was loud and clunky and running a tap in the bathroom was loud. The location is super and close to the White House, with easy access to the Washington Monument and walking distance of Capitol building. One of few hotels I’ve managed to get ‘Chromecast’ to work for Netflix. The bar/restaurant downstairs is brilliant and I really can’t underplay that the service from every individual at reception was exceptional. I just wish the rooms were as good as the service. I would stay again, and would recommend. Please just consider that your rooms need some work, and hats off to everyone at Reception!

When I visit DC, I stay at the Sofitel. Since 2012, my partner and I choose the Sofitel as our preferred hotel. The hotel common space and rooms are consistently clean and well maintained. The rooms are very comfortable. The front desk and housekeeping staff are friendly and accommodating. I've noticed that some of the the Opaline staff come across as unwelcoming. It's in their body language and how they speak to guests. Some Opaline are curt in their interactions with guests. I experienced it, and I witnessed it with others. I noticed this shift in restaurant staff since 2022. It's disappointing and off-putting.

Good experience but it needs to have the bar open to get drinks outside until at least to midnight for staying guests -all good but this is the one negative which is a easy thing to fix

This was my first time staying at a nicer hotel. I understand my family and I don’t look or dress like the usual customers but we were met with a tone of judgment and indifference I found insulting. The girl that helped me check out was very sweet but no one else explained any amenities or gave us any instructions or assistance to make our stay a smooth experience. When we did figure out room service on the provided QR code no one answered the phone.

Beautiful hotel in an excellent location. Hotel was so quiet. We could fully unwind at the end of long sightseeing days.

Aug 2024

Overall, we enjoyed our stay in the hotel. The room was comfortable although some chairs were worn. Amenities were up to Sofitel standards. Staffs were courteous. As an expedia gold member, we were eligible for a room upgrade and complimentary items (bottle of wine, etc.). The hotel did not offer any. Maybe a notification should have been sent from expedia.

Parking is quite expensive and you can only do valet. I believe there was a note about soundproof rooms. The rooms are not soundproof. Housekeeping was very dependable and thorough. Its an older property so the rooms are definitely a little dated.

I booked a king suite and was given a queen room. Was told by the front desk that the hotel has no queen bedrooms. Housekeeping said yes our room was a queen. Had a miserable night thinking I was cheated out of our king room. Insisted on discount for the subpar room the next day. Will never go back

From the moment I walked through the doors, the staff and hospitality at Sofitel Washington DC Lafayette were top-tier. I especially marveled at the exquisite room and very comfortable bed. Additionally, the free bottle of wine was an added bonus. I'll certainly be returning next month! 🤗

Property was nice and clean. Staff was very nice and quick to respond to any requests. They offer free water which was a big plus since it was really hot when we visited. Although it was a very nice stay I don't think it was on the same level as other 5 star hotels that I've stayed at. It just doesn't have all the amenities you would expect.

Location perfect for touring DC hotspots; hotel air didn’t work well - too uncomfortable to sleep well. Outside dining area seating old and unclean. Valet parking too expensive per night - staff very nice and helpful. Would stay here again.

Our check-in was for 3pm. After a very long drive from New Jersey we arrived at our hotel around 11am. We asked if we could check in early. We were told we could not and to come back at check-in time (3pm) We toured DC until 3pm. Upon our arrival, we were told that the room was not ready but would be so in about 15minutes. We kept checking with the front desk. They kept telling us our room was being inspected. Our room wasn't ready until after 4pm. An hour of our time in the room was taken with no compensation. Additionally we discovered later that evening that our room didn't have the pillows for the sofa bed that we asked to have made up. It took 1/2 hour for those to finally arrive after a very long day. We also realized we only had 3 towels in the room when there were 4 of us staying (we had this in our checkin details) Finally, our room was suppose to come with a bottle of wine. It was not there. We again had to ask the front desk for the wine. It arrive an hour later with no wine glasses! Uggh. Someone had to come back again with them. I feel like for the price of the property we were not treated properly. I felt like a complainer instead of enjoying a stay. It was a hassle!

The hotel is nice, but older. Our room faced a brick wall, so that was disappointing. The staff was helpful and friendly. My daughter got really sick due to the heat and they were so helpful helping me clean after she threw up.
