This is a great place to stay in Washington D.C. and was the perfect choice for a combined business and family trip. The 2-bedroom suite with kitchen, living room, 2 bathrooms, and dishwasher/dryer, met all of our different parent and child needs. It was very clean, well-equipped, and the location was a short walk to both sightseeing locations and business meetings. The price was also very reasonable - I would say that it was more cost effective than 2 connecting hotel rooms in the area - and this was helped by the fact that we could buy food in and manage our laundry over a 7-night stay. We went on a 12-minute walk to the nearest Whole Foods for our shopping and ordered takeout from the Panera Bread next door (which has fantastic staff). I really can't say enough to recommend AKA White House. We - 2 adults and 2 12-years olds - agree that we would definitely choose to stay here again.

We very much enjoyed our 4 nights stay at AKA, our suite was clean, spacious, comfortable and quiet. All the staff that we met, whether front desk or housekeeping, were very friendly and helpful. Location is excellent, just a few minutes walk from the White House and we walked to most of the other sightseeing spots. Farragut West metro station is just around the corner (Silver line to/from Dulles airport), also plenty of bus routes to choose from which take you to the museums, Capitol, Georgetown, the zoo etc. There are lots of cafes and restaurants nearby too. We would definitely stay here again if we go to Washington in future.

None.

Staff were exceptionally friendly, rooms were spacious and clean. Lots of room in the 2 bed apartment, plus having a washing machine and tumble dryer was a real luxury having travelled internationally. This was my second time staying at this AKA White House property - once with a friend, and most recently with family. Location is only two streets from the White House so incredibly central to all museums/attractions. Hope to be back sometime in the future!

Shower on occasion would turn cold after a couple of minutes - happened three times during the stay (10 days).

The location is great, super central and walkable. My suite was very spacious, it's not fancy but is clean and comfortable, with a great living room sitting area, a kitchen, and the bed was comfortable. They would bring 2 more bottled waters per day upon request.

Service at the front desk was mixed, some folks were super helpful and others fairly brusque. Feels like extra fees for a lot of stuff. Wifi signal was a bit weak, went in and out. I weirdly also couldn't get cell signal from time to time (I have Verizon). Be aware that they don't do housekeeping for stays of less than 7 days.

Fabulous apartment! Quiet (even though it fronted the main st), massive size, comfortable beds, lots of wardrobe space, loved the clothes washing facilities - being away for a month this was so appreciated. The location is good, within walking distance from the Whitehouse and many monuments etc.

The bar was only open a few nights a week, so after you returned from a long day sightseeing, you couldn’t necessarily relax down there with a vino if you felt like it. Not a disaster but would’ve been nice. Staff were a bit hit and miss. Some friendlier than others, we felt a bit like a nuisance on an occasion or two.

We have been travelling for 6 weeks and stayed in hotels from Hilton to Fairmont, I have to say the Front Desk Staff in AKA are the best of all. (I'm sorry, i forgot their names as i didn't write my review immediately. One of them is Sergio, which i remember) They are so helpful. When we asked for something in our room, we received help in minutes!! The apartment is spacious and well equipped. What I especially like is the washing machine and dryer in the apartment. They supplied us with laundry detergent, too. The hotel and staff made our time in Washington DC perfect.

Nothing

It is one block from the Farragut West Metro. The staff is friendly and responsive. They accommodate requests for additional coffee, water, tea bags, etc. I love having a full-size one-bedroom apartment with a washer/Dryer. Adjustable thermostat.

Would like to have had one bag of coffee and a few tea bags in the unit upon arrival vs. having to request it. I believe this used to be the case several years back. The microwave tray was too big for the microwave (once the microwave door was closed, it pushed the turntable tray off so it would not rotate; however, they were quick to fix the issue. All very minor and addressed upon request.

Loads of space. Great location. Provide full kitchen, comfy robes, small public bar.

Could have been cleaner and staff was good, but not great. Our first room smelled strongly of cigarette smoke and their first option was to come up and spray smelly stuff. Yuck! The airport lost one of our bags so asked about a charger. They loaned us an ancient one for a 25.00 deposit that didn’t work. They advertise a rooftop lounge, but it requires an elevator key.

We like to have access to a kitchenette and washing machines/dryers when we travel and this ticked both boxes, kitchenette came fully equipped with a stove, toaster, microwave oven, dishwasher and kitchen utensils. The bedrooms had a walk in wardrobe and ensuite bathrooms/toilets, beds were huge (for us Asians anyways). The living area could comfortably seat 4 and gave good views of H Street. The hotel apartment is well served by the subway (Farragut North and West) and metrobus, the only place that didn't offer direct access from the hotel is the west end of the National Mall, it was more efficient (for us) to get to and from there by walking apart from that the rest of the sights are well connected by the subway and buses. There are lots of eateries and restaurants within a 10 minute walking radius so you're spoiled for choice no matter what your budget is. Our picks would include GCDC, Luke's Lobster, Western Market (food court), The Square (food court) and Carvings. The nearest Trader Joe's is about a 15 minute walk away if you're looking to take advantage of the kitchenette facilities. The hotel has a movie room, bar and gym but we didn't use any of these facilities so can't comment on those. Overall the room was large for what it was and apart from some very minor niggles was absolutely what we wanted for a comfortable 4 night stay in Nov 2024.

Not so much a dislike rather than a niggle, a bidet for the toilet and a separate shower area rather than having to step into a bathtub would be nice. Also, the beds felt a little hard and lumpy but did an adequate job overall.

This Hotel is easily one of the best located in all of DC. Upscale neighborhood with relatively easy access to 2 different Metro Stations. Very close to the White House and great restaurants. This Hotel is geared for longer - term stays with apartment -size rooms. Our room was more comparable to a 1 Bedroom apartment with large square footage, a decent Kitchen, fully separate Bedroom and 1.5 Baths. Clean & Neat with quite a few amenities. Front desk staff was friendly and accommodating

Overall a good choice, but Hotel needs updating - Bathrooms and bathroom fixtures fairly shop worn, and general decor is looking aged, but mostly well - kept
