I live locally and come to the hotel's Certo restaurant for their great drinks and service, most specifically Nkechi. She's a real professional: knowledgeable about the bar, wine and food, and personable to a fault. She's what keeps me coming back again and again.

Hotel's Favorite
My fiance (now husband!) and I stayed at the Royal Sonesta in DC for 2 nights for our wedding with our dog. We worked with Allie R. who was amazing at coordinating everything and made sure everything went smoothly. We stayed in a King Executive Studio Suite and were amazed by the large size of the room was and the gorgeous views we had of the city! The hotel room was spacious, exceptionally clean and they even included thoughtful touches for our dog such as a fluffy dog bed and 2 large bowls for food and water. In addition, all of the staff that we encountered were friendly and helpful whenever we had any questions or needed anything. The location is also superb - it is located on a very cute street with lots of bars and restaurants and in the heart of Dupont Circle. We can't wait to stay at the Royal Sonesta again!…

Dined at Certo! in the hotel. The food was great, especially the pizza and cocktails. Our server Nkechi was attentive and friendly, and knew how to answer every one of our questions. Well worth a visit.

Great hotel and excellent location. Extremely close to the metro station and several great restaurants nearby. Also nearby was a CVS & a small supermarket making it easy to grab a few essentials to have in the room. The staff was friendly and accommodating.

The only place I stay in DC. I have been staying here since 2012 and the reason I always come back is the staff. They are the best in town and I have stayed in dozens of hotels in DC The front desk duo of Ice and Kelly took such great care of me and made sure my stay was extremely comfortable. They should both get raises! Don’t hesitate to book this hotel and tell them I sent you!
