Front desk lady assigned a room with a defective door. She refused to change the room and wanted to force us to stay in the room until the repair person came to fix the door. We were tired and needed to rest, but she ordered us to rest at the lobby chairs or to go to the market while someone fixed the door instead of assigning a different room. Finally she called for help only to have a person come to the room, to verify that in deed, the door lock was not working… She even accused me of being “difficult” not realizing her directives (to rest in the lobby or go shopping) were patronizing and disrespectful. Eventually she assigned us a different room. This happened on March 30th in the evening… Probably not coming back after several stays…

What an impressive property! The pictures exactly represent the careful curation of vibe and feel. The rooftop restaurant has both great energy as well as incredible food and staff. I enjoyed everything I ate and drank at this hotel. The lobby has great coffee every morning, wish i had the time to eat there. The room I had was spacious and well furnished. Looking forward to staying here again and again. Keep in mind the area is a little busy so there can be some additional noise. However, that didn't put a damper on all the benefits you get from this hotel. The F1 arcade around the corner is also super fun, great drinks and food.

The staff at this hotel are wonderful, very responsive and great at making you feel welcome. Room was very clean, love the way things are decorated and very comfortable. I tend to run cold but housekeeping provided blankets very quickly! Will definitely stay again when we visit our family in DC. Thank you very much. DC has many hotels to offer and I've stayed in many of them over the years when my travel to DC was always work related. Hotel Nell was a delight and a jewel among a lot of very nice but predictable hotels that are typical. Hotel Nell is just fun and unique. Don't miss the opportunity to stay there and the location is also fantastic. NOMA is a very fun area with lots of delightful finds to discover in the area.

THis was my second time staying here and I came back because they have good food for breakfast and the rooftop bar. I was quite disappointed when I checked in and my TV didn't work. They weren't open to moving me to a different room because apparently the internet was down in the whole hotel. The internet actually worked so I was able to get work done, but imagine no entertainment on your one night away from home a month. Not sure I'll be returning anytime soon. After I requested complimentary breakfast they obliged. I also don't love the location on a really busy main road.

Pretty good hotel with pros and cons. Pros: it is different from chain hotels, the staff is great and the neighborhood feels to an extent like the DC version of funky Bushwick in Brooklyn. Cons: the hotel has very few parking spots, the water pressure in the shower is very weak and the hotel has no gym.

A very hip, industrial style hotel with an excellent breakfast. The rooms were spacious, clean and had a good sized desk. Staff was really nice. Only drawback was no on-site fitness facility. There is a partnership with a center nearby but it wasn't explained at check in and website explanation seemed complicated. WiFi was out when I was there. ATT cell reception wasn't great in my room. Better in lobby but still not strong.

This was my gf's second stay at hotel nell and she was pretty disappointed compared to her first stay. The front desk staff was not as friendly or welcoming. The soap dispensers In our room did not work and we had to ask twice for someone to fix them. Even then, only one of the the two soap dispensers were fixed. Our Room had an ironing board but no iron. And the a/c would not adjust no matter which settings we tried. We love the location of hotel nell but unfortunately due to this experience, we would consider a different stay next time.
