Our room was spacious and clean but it was consistently 76 degrees... When I asked about why the air wasn't on they acted like it was normal for a guest to not be able to control the room temperature... The lobby seemed to have air but the rooms didn't... I could've stayed across the street at the Hilton for cheaper and controlled the temperature of my room... They came in every day and really tidied the room while we're gone...

The room is in full view of all passerby (which there were), but this is just the beginning of a very uncomfortable night... Anyone from outside could pull out the tissue paper and look inside the room... Can the hotel not able to afford a complete door?... In reality, I have had better room at Motel 6...

The rooms were well cared for and a nice size...

    ...Well, that's because the front desk person was rude and unhelpful from the start. When I was at the check in, the person had trouble finding my reservation although I have booked and prepaid... Then when he found my reservation, he insisted that I put down deposit for incidentals, although I had previously confirmed that was unnecessary... When I tried to talked some sense into him, I just got a broken record of this is the policy and if I didn't like it I could cancel... I had an early flight to catch and I don't think the front desk is capable of offering any help...

We decided to take advantage of the hotel valet services for the weekend and it was positive... The location is very walkable to dining spots as well as nightlife in the evening if interested...

    There's a lot to recommend the Churchill. The hotel has a lot of charm, the room was clean and well furnished, the front desk staff were helpful and the location is quiet yet close to a popular metro station and various eateries... Or, if you fancy, you can have a croissant and butter instead...

    My wife and I have really enjoyed our stay at this hotel on our first time in Washington DC. The staff particularly Shaaban and Pablo have gone out of their way to make us welcome and support our journeys into the city for tours or visiting the many fabulous museums... Advice for getting phone sims plus suggesting a great place to have dinner that was close by was invaluable... The area was safe and very pleasant to walk around...

    ...The hotel is a 10 minute walk from a major metro station on a busy road and close to some nice neighbourhoods including Adam Morgan which offers night life bars and restaurants. It is an old building that has been done up in a fashionable modern style... Our room was reasonably large, had a very comfortable large bed and a tiny but well appointed bathroom... The other was that our group had its own breakfast buffet which was rather meagre - although I dont know what we paid for it as we had a group price...

    ...We really loved our room and the staff but there was zero air conditioning despite their website claiming that rooms were air conditioned. Our room was spacious and clean but it was consistently 76 degrees... They said the air condition doesn't go on till may... The lobby seemed to have air but the rooms didn't... I could've stayed across the street at the Hilton for cheaper and controlled the temperature of my room... It's a shame they wouldn't turn the AC on for guests... They came in every day and really tidied the room while we're gone...

    ...We had a fantastic overnight stay at the The Churchill Hotel! The employees we encountered during our stay were all very friendly, courteous and helpful - from the valet who parked our car, the gentleman at the front desk who answered all of our questions and gave us good directions and the server in the restaurant... This hotel had a great location as it was a couple of blocks from the Metro Station and had a large selection of restaurants all within a few minutes' walk... The rooms were well cared for and a nice size... We prefer firm mattresses which not many hotels have but we were excited to find our bed was perfect and we didn't wake up with sore backs!... Another great feature of our room was the bathroom shower - the water controls were on the wall opposite the shower head so you could turn on the shower to the perfect temperature without getting wet!!... Our room also had a view of the Washington monument which is an awesome sight at night when it's lit up... We had breakfast in the restaurant which was delicious and did not take long... We would definitely stay here any time we visit the Washington DC area!...

    This is my favorite of any hotel I’ve ever stayed at!... The building maintains its architectural character, but it has also been gorgeously modernized... Everything is clean, elegant, and incredibly comfortable... From the moment you walk in, it feels like it could be home, just better... If you are coming to DC, I think the Churchill is by far the best hotel choice; if you are not planning a trip to DC yet, a stay at the hotel is worthy of being a destination and reason to make a trip in of itself!...

Our third stay at the Churchill Hotel, on the whole very comfortable but I think we must have been in one of the smallest rooms in the building this time, and did not have a “comfortable sitting area and desk” listed on the website – indeed there was no space for them! We also had intermittent issues with the heating and had to request maintenance twice as it was running cold. Staff were friendly and helpful and we enjoyed the complimentary morning coffee-to-go in the foyer!

This hotel was recommended by our travel agent and it did not disappoint. Great location with easy access for the bus/ metro to get to all the historic sights in Washington. The room was a good size with a comfy bed and lots of nice fluffy towels. Complementary tea & coffee in reception was a nice touch to pick up as you left for the day. My only gripe was being next to the service lift which clunked up & down in the early morning. We did get use to it, so it didn’t spoil our stay, but avoid if you can. We didn’t eat here so can’t comment on the food, but there are plenty of restaurants within easy walking distance

Terrific staff. Willing to help. Hotel had heating problems, (older historic hotel) Jessica was kind enough to offer me a space heater. Ertug, the Front Office Manager, as well as Fanny, helped our African State Department delegation with adapters--a life-saver for them. Herzi, Jessica, Proshit, all were very helpful in trying to solve the heating problem (which was not in their area of expertise!) Richard, the restaurant bartender, was so welcoming! I was surprised to see so many neighborhood "regulars" there. The burger is excellent. Carl, the doorman, and Saaban (sp?) were friendly and accommodating.

The hotel was great and the staff were fantastic. From housekeeping to reception and management, everyone was really friendly, professional, and helpful. A few days before our arrival, I called the hotel to request a rollaway bed for our Junior Suite, as we were a family of four. The manager Ertug then upgraded us to a King Suite. We were greeted by Ertug on our arrival, and advised that we could contact him in the event of any issues during our stay. Our King Suite was clean and spacious, and provided more than enough room for a family of four. The on-site restaurant was good for a quick bite on our first night, and the staff were happy to provide multiple suggestions for many of the restaurants within walking distance from the hotel. Finally, the hotel was a quick car ride from many of the DC landmarks. We had a great stay at the Churchill.

I had to cancel my reservation due to illness the day before checking in. Despite the fact that the hotel's "refund policy" clearly allowed for cancellations up to and including the day before, I was later told that I would not be eligible for a refund. After providing the clear text of their "refund policy," as well as doctor's note, I was still not given a refund. Numerous attempts to resolve the issue were met with zero help.

Spend 4 nights in the Churchill Hotel with my wife and 2 sons. It was a hotel which was recommended to us by our travel agent. From the moment we arrived we got an excellent feeling about the hotel. The front desk staff were always friendly when we passed through the lobby and they were always very helpful with any queries we had during our stay. The rooms were big, comfortable and clean. The shower was great. The hotel is in a great location, about a 10 minute walk to DuPont Circle Metro station which can take you the 2 stops to Metro Central and all the delight’s Washington has to offer, you can also change lines for sights such as Arlington Cemetery. There is a variety of options to eat out within a 10 minute walk of the hotel. We would definitely choose this hotel, should we visit Washington again.

Very elegant hotel - I was surprised the moment I walked into my room. I enjoyed the comforts of the bed and was amazed how large the bathroom was. You rarely see so much space when staying in DC hotels. I wish I got the name of the staff working the front desk, but great customer service. Glad the Dupont Metro station was a short 7-10 minute walk to the hotel. The air conditioning was tricky at times in the room and the gym felt small if others were using it, but those were minor details compared to a pleasant stay. Look forward to coming back again.

Very helpful staff. But it's really not that nice. Peeling paint, cracked plaster, holes in walls, and just generally dirty. And it's really not that close to Embassy Row. You're better off at the Hilton across the street.
