Fantastic, dog-friendly, location nestled into the Georgetown neighborhood. Quiet, surrounded by parks and beautiful homes. 10-15 minute walking distance from the main commercial area. Easy paid parking in local garage. I would definitely stay here again. It feels like you are a guest in a close friend’s home. Communal feel with amenities like bug spray, sunscreen and curling irons readily available. The outdoor space is cozy and the rooms are spacious and nicely decorated. There are a few minor areas where a little extra effort would take the customer experience to the next level. We were not offered sparkling drinks upon arrive as described in the property offering, bottled water and some snacks ran out mid day, no mention of spa services upon arrival. Overall The Poppy is a unique and welcoming stay experience and we will stay here again when we next visit the DC area.

The Poppy in Georgetown is our go-to when we need a hotel in Wash, DC. We love the guest house arrangement and ambiance. The gathering room includes a terrific selection of breakfast foods and beverages (love the Nespresso), as well as juices/sodas/waters, various snacks, and adult beverages after work or a day exploring. It’s like walking down to your own kitchen when and as you please. Every effort is made to ensure your stay exceeds expectations. Many thoughtful extras are included. Check out the lovely private garden area with lots of relaxing seating in the back; there’s also a sweet front garden terrace. Upscale linens, super-comfortable beds.You won’t find overstuffed furniture or extraneous furnishings; the entire property is designed to enable impeccable cleanliness. We’ve stayed with an elderly mother (accommodated with no no stairs to room), as a couple, and alone. Consistently excellent.

The Poppy is a charming boutique hotel in upper Georgetown.

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.

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!

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!

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.
