The Poppy was just the vibe we were looking for and everything was great. The one thing that made it not completely perfect was that the smoke detector in our room started beeping because the battery needed to be replaced at 6:45am and one of the main things we both wanted was to sleep in that morning. So that wasn't pleasant. We found an employee in the kitchenette area and he fixed it very quickly but, unfortunately, we were already awake at that point.

My daughter and I stayed overnight as a little mother/daughter outing before she starts college. The Poppy was just the vibe we were looking for and everything was great.

charming! cute neighborhood area & walkable to nostalgic bar, unique restaurants, all the shopping & the river. felt very European!

There were two cute courtyards that we were able to use as a group, the rooms were comfortable, and it felt like we were staying in a home instead of staying in a commercial hotel. John was amazing and so welcoming. He is a kind soul that makes you feel immediately as if he is your friend.

Lovely little place that is off the beaten path but close to the action. Very easy and comfortable!

It was a short stay for Georgetown /DC. I had to fit alot into 3 days even with Rain trying to destroy my 1st Day. I told the Poppy staff I would have a late to early arrival checkout and they helped. Arriving to a snack and beverage stocked kitchen with comfortable volume set music was a nice touch of making me feel welcome. I got a huge soft comfortable bed and unique but interesting Modern Artwork the Shower products were great from Lather after having a long 11 hr 25 min bus ride for my trip to shower. The area was quiet and safe to have an early morning self walking tour to Georgetown University and the movie location for the horror movie the Exorcist steps and house with a home with Transformers Robots to boot. I got lucky seeing a black squirrel and coming back from my last day to a welcoming place to eat and relax with an outdoor patio and secret garden. It was a nice relaxing place to stay! Thank you Poppy Guesthouse!

Loved everything about The Poppy. Would absolutely stay here again. Highly recommend it.

Everything was perfect! The rooms were super clean, and cutely decorated. Check in was easy, the bed was comfortable. I have zero complaints about this property. I will def stay here again!

The Poppy provided the perfect setting and accommodations for a mother/daughter weekend.

I love boutique hotels and this one did NOT disappoint! Absolutely loved the attentiveness and welcoming environment. There's a code to get into the hotel which made me feel more secure. John gave great nearby dining recommendations and was very helpful in helping me get settled in. The room was small, but very clean and functional, perfect for my short stay. In the morning seating was limited in the common area, but there was a good variety of breakfast options to choose from. Highly recommend this hotel!

Really charming property due to weather we’re not able to enjoy the garden are but looked very nice

My room was clean, comfy and quiet. I appreciated the small touches such as a white noise machine and being able to adjust the A/C to my preference. The coffee machine in the common area makes the best latte! Unfortunately, my entry code didn't work my second night and I waited almost a half-hour outside of the building for someone to re-set it for me. It was an annoyance at the end of a very long, hot day, but overall, I was happy with my stay.

We felt most welcome and well looked after. The room was as advertised, but sound insulation left a bit to be desired (noise from other guests returning late at night, as well as noise from the room above, which would benefit from (thicker) carpeting. A separate suggestion regarding room facilities would be to add a safe.

The hotel locates in a safe quiet walkable location. It is clean and nicely equipped. Every good experience.

Great little hotel!

Great property, excellent check in using new technology! Love it!

The Poppy was one of the most amazing stays we’ve ever had in all our years of travel! The garden room is outstanding and John is an incredible host. We loved everything about it ~

Great stay and great communication. Excellent location and loved the free coffee and treats. John and Nico both went out of their way to please! My recommendations for improvement: provide safes, plastic bags for trash cans in rooms. I would recommend getting rid of the big trunks at the ends of the beds, as they are easy to hit and they are pretty rough when you do. Also, make sure you do communicate with guests when they can expect to be charged, as most hotels don’t charge until checkout. Otherwise, truly awesome, and I look forward to the next time around! Great value!

Wonderful alternative to the traditional “hotel stay”.

Lovely hotel, great location, very quiet room and comfortable. I would definitely stay again!

Clean and charming property.

Great!

Very Clean and Friendly! Very comfortable Bed.. And sharing snacks and drinks

Great service, nice premises, fanrastic location!

This place is a gem! It is located in a prime spot, easy to walk to DC or throughout Georgetown. The premises are quiet, clean, and homey. Nico and John are great hosts: both are so friendly and knowledgeable. I will definitely return!!

Loved the property!

Friendly hotel, great staff.

The Poppy is a small, charming hotel located in an historic residential section of Georgetown. The hotel room that we had on sub level floor was spacious, had enough light and had a very nice digital fire in the fireplace. Bathroom was spacious with nice walk in shower. There are no elevators in this building, so anyone with issues walking stairs would need to be sure of a room on the ground floor. Breakfast is a self serve selection of coffee, tea, pastries, toast, flavored yogurt and cold cereal. No microwave to heat milk for coffee, and no source of protein such as peanut butter or cheese to offset the carbs. On the plus side, an excellent small restaurant (Apero) for lunch or dinner right next to the hotel that the manager at the Poppy recommended. There is also a small grocery store across the street to buy food. Otherwise, one would have to walk a ways to get to more restaurants and stores.

Great location and concept . Loved the amenities of the common area with drinks and coffee and morning breakfast items and the outdoor area . Room was fine but very small and extremely minimalist decor in every aspect so not good for more than one person stay if you want to not be crowded . Nonetheless , Loved the overall vibe .

The staff was absolutely delightful! I arrived late when no staff was on site but the communication via text was exceptional! I received enough text and email with very clear instructions on how to get in and it was so easy. I didn’t even have to reach out to them. They voluntarily sent this texts to make sure I was clear and good 👍 It’s was very quiet all evening. There are some rooms that face the courtyard and front street and you can hear the morning traffic from there but it didn’t bother me at all. The hair and body products in the shower was so nice I’m going to purchase the brand. I’m a celeb makeup artist so I use great products but was thoroughly impressed by that. The lil morning kitchen lobby area was so charming. Yummy muffins and a SUPER fancy espresso machine. I brought my little yorkie and the staff was so kind and sweet to him. I literally felt like I was home with family. Look no further! This is DEFINITELY the spot to stay. Nico is the sweetest!!! Sandwich deli 2 blocks away. Delicious Italian restaurant a half mile away. I’ll be back for sure!!!!

This sweet little gem is one of the best stays I’ve ever had! On a quiet street of beautiful Georgetown, they accommodated my small pet . The rooms are beautiful and spacious. We had a suite, the cleanliness and overall decor of the hotel is beautiful. The staff is so friendly and helpful and each morning there was a beautiful breakfast of wonderful pastries muffins, fruit and yogurt. Complementary apple juice and waters were included, it was definitely worth every penny. We Would love to stay here again.

We enjoyed our stay so much, we wish we could live there. LOL. Seriously, this little hotel has so much going for it. It was clean, classy, and comfortable. The coffee, snacks, and continental breakfast were exceptional. We also enjoyed a glass of wine in the secret garden in the back. John was especially helpful. He booked a Hop On Hop Off trip for us. The bed was cozy and we were able to darken the room and sleep in. We highly recommend this place and will stay again if we make another trip to DC.
