The property was cool and beautiful. But sleep was not good due to the loud road noise. Seems that many of the big upgraded rooms are on the busy street, so I suggest avoiding those.

I could hear everything going on in the hotel in my room. It was difficult to get to sleep. I was on 4th floor and could the noise from the lobby, from the top floor lounge, from elevator, from hall way to every room around me. Room itself was very small but adequate. Staff was nice.

I had a fantastic stay at Hotel Nell in DC! This boutique gem is stylish and comfortable, with a great vibe throughout. The rooftop bar is a major highlight—perfect for unwinding with a cocktail while enjoying city views. The location couldn't be better—just steps away from Union Market, packed with incredible dining options. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a unique and memorable stay in the city!

Do not stay here if you want your privacy violated. The walls are so thin that you can hear the next rooms conversation clearly. They called security on me because I had my TV volume on 20 and I could barely hear it. I’m not exaggerating, if you stay here you will have to whisper because they have something called Quiet time. I will never ever stay here again.

Will work for some

Basic Bohemian Style that not everyone cares for. Mattress was not the best quality at all. Clean facility and excellent location but came off a bit too low budget.
