Hotel Monaco is a great hotel located in the heart of Alexandria, Va. It is convenient to the shops and dining. We had a nice sized room. An extra treat is the wine reception from 5 to 6. Staff are very accomodating and friendly. Loved the decor. This is a boutique hotel and pet friendly. Thick zebra print bath robes are provided.

Excellent botique hotel. Very cool environment with a well appointed and energetic lobby area where you can network or enjoy a complimentary cup of tea in the evening. Very often you will see others enjoying a drink alongside their dog as the hotel is very pet friendly. The hotel staff is very professional and interested in attending to your needs. The gym is small yet has all the necessary equipment and free weights to get a good workout. The attached restaurant and bar have very good food and plenty of seating. Excellent location in Alexandria, walking distance to the entire town.

We normally stay in Shirlington when we go to the DC area. Got a great price on this for our one night stay, so changed up our usual. The room was obviously just redone and was great! Staff could not be nicer, and the location is perfect...never need to get in the car.

Very nice atmosphere, great location if you like Alexandria, hotel staff very helpful but not necessarily up to speed on how to get around Washington DC. Hospitality hour was great. Room we had was well appointed with some nice amenities i.e. bath robes. Down side is the HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning) kept us awake it was so noisy. Keys had to be reprogrammed 4 times which was a real problem since we were on the top floor in the room furthest away from the front desk. Lighting in the bathroom is poor and on the yellowish side so it could be an issue for the ladies who are fastidious about applying makeup. Lighted magnifying mirror would be a huge improvement. May be back...not sure. FYI the rate we paid was $179 per night.
