All positive. Great central location, unique decor, large rooms, service (mostly) with a smile. Very helpful staff, nice touches with receptions. Cute bar. This hotel is not for the conservative traveler. It is very liberal (in staff, guests and decor). Lots of animal prints, contempo decor, etc. Very small compared to alot of DC hotels (lobby, bar, etc). But if... more

I am from the DC area and came to the Hotel Rouge for a short getaway. I was excited when I walked through the studded pleather doors and into the cute little lobby. I was even more excited when I went to my room to find it spacious, well decorated, and equipped with Aveda bath products and free wireless internet.... more

I just returned from a quick overnight to Washington DC. We had booked through the Hotel Rouge website, thinking we were reserving a "Panda Package" special which included four metro tickets and some zoo souvenirs. When we arrived, no arrangements had been made for the "extras" although the rate was quite reasonable anyway. The desk supervisor suggested I contact the... more

Had read some of the reviews here at tripadvisor before arriving in DC so decided this would be the 1st hotel we checked out. Had a bit of trouble finding it (new to driving the circle) but once discovered, put our car on a sidestreet and walked over. Rates we had seen online were less than offered at the desk,... more

Safe location with beautiful lawns and gardens to and from the metro station. Busy traffic, like all of DC. We felt very safe walking day or night. Hotel very clean, nice staff, very attentive. Decorated bright and retro. Small cafe on site convenient for quick b'fast. Afternoon complimentary wine or Red stripe beer. Room large on 1st floor looking at... more

Some pluses and some minuses here. First off I was here half for business and half for fun. First of all the room had a very nice sized desk along one of the walls that even had an empty outlet strip on it, so I could plug all my electronics in and that was VERY nice. The bed was firm,... more

My sister and I stayed at this hotel for three nights during a nyc/dc memorial day break. We really, really enjoyed it! If you stay at this hotel, you have to be looking for a certain type of experience. I wouldn't call this a business hotel, but it is cute and different and quirky. The coffee every morning is great... more

We were supposed to have two double beds. I had even called the hotel and confirmed that our reservation reflected that. But they gave us a single queen room. And a cot. The atmosphere of the hotel is kitsch. The location is handy. The FREE coffee every morning is DELICIOUS. The free Washington Post or New York Times is a... more

We stayed for 3 nights in the Hotel Rouge over Memorial Weekend and had a great time. The hotel is convenient to many bars and restaurants and within easy walking distance of the White House and other DC attractions. The rooms themselves are great, very funky with one of the most comfortable beds I've ever slept in. Other good additions... more
