“Great hotel even better staff!”

Reviewed May 21, 2013 NEW

Wonderful location and a fun place to stay, a combination that makes for a great time in DC. I Have stayed here numerous times and have never been disappointed. The hotel offers a guest appreciation hour with free drinks from 5pm to 6pm. The rooms have a very mod and sexy feel. The hotel is about to go through a... More

“Attentive staff!”

Reviewed May 13, 2013

As a Kimpton InTouch member, the hotel sent me a birthday offer on a discounted room. I decided to use it for my BF birthday ( a couple of weeks before mine). I made a note on my reservation that I was surprising my BF for his birthday. When we got to the hotel, Ritchie checked us in told my... More

“Eclectic hotel in great location”

This hotel has two very good things going for it - its location and its price. The location, halfway between Dupont Circle and Logan Circle, is incredibly close to a host of DC sites and restaurants but it's tucked into a residential street, making it especially endearing. I have stayed in DC dozens of times for various reasons, and I... More

“Top hotel”

Reviewed May 12, 2013

Nice place, good performance during the tropical storm Sandy and the time we had to stay at the hotel because of that storm. Close to the centre of Washington, just a little walk to famous buildings, musea, etc. One thing: my room had only a very little bathroom, although clean.

“It had a moment, but not now.”

Reviewed May 11, 2013

The Helix at first glance is giving you lots of fancy and hip...at a closer look, the place needs a revamp. I was initially excited to stay at a lil swanky spot but just below the surface was a worn and outdated appeal. The staff were clearly sweet but untrained in hotel hospitality; less seasoned and well meaning but the... More

“Funky Atmosphere!”

Reviewed May 10, 2013

I love the Helix! This was my second stay at the Helix and it is just a funky hotel. The staff are incredibly friendly and the rooms very unique. Admittedly, the room decorations do get a little over the top after you have stayed there previously, nonetheless it is very comfortable and quiet. The bathrooms are very small, so if... More

“Fun, Simple, and Great for kids”

Reviewed May 7, 2013

We booked a family suite at the Helix. The room was a little worn and had seen better days, it is really time for an upgrade on fabrics and bathroom. House Keeping left much to be desired and I even had a house keeper yell at me when I asked for the room to be furnished with bathroom glasses and... More
