Service Exceptional, Rooms Need Attention
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!

Great location in relationship to Washington DC sites. Easy to walk. Food at the hotel was great! The restaurant Bobby Van’s across the street from the hotel was excellent too. Both had outdoor seating which was nice.

Amazing hotel - Restaurant staff not as nice
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.

Great location near the White House. Walking distance to the monuments and museums. Nice boutique hotel. Clean rooms (albeit small). I was in D.C. for pleasure. I would probably like this room better for business. Nice desk, quiet, and free Wifi. Free Coffee bar in the morning was nice.
