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 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.

The description of the hotel on marketing platforms is spot-on! It is very near the Metro station, which goes in all directions. It is a 10-minute walk from the White House. It is spacious and well-equipped for self-catering, washing your clothes, and sleeping off jet lag when traveling from abroad. The kitchen wasn't stocked with dishwashing liquid or dishcloths, making cleaning dishes challenging. The unit was not served once in the five days we have stayed. It would have been nice if the trash was taken out and the bathrooms cleaned by staff at least every second day. Other than that, the perfect stay if you do not want to interact with anybody and do your own thing.

We liked the size of the room but not the lack of cleaning service. Based on our stay we should have had room service on Friday (May13-20) but no one showed up. We did like the bar and movie theater and proximately to the White House. So location was great. My family liked the gym as well. Washer and dryer are nice to have.

No room service unless you stay a certain number of days which we did and still nothing! Room with King Size bed did not have a private bathroom. Only the smaller queen room did! Makes no sense. Construction was happening next door and drilling woke us up at 5 AM. If you stay on the back side of the hotel you will also hear trash pickup at 6 am every morning. No trash pickup either. Although I saw maids in the hallway, people’s trash was still in plastic bags in front of their rooms for several days. Hope this review improves their service.

Nice staff, spacious and very well equipped apartment. Very good choice.

At the check-in front desk requested me the card I used to make the reservation (plastic). Turns out that I used a virtual card (as I always do at Booking.com). They said it was written in their policies which is true, but it’s a unique policy at booking.com. And I didn’t realize. I use to reserve around 10 hotels / year in different countries and never saw this policy. Pay extra attention to that when reserving. At the end the front desk resolved it cancelling with no charge the original reservation and booked the same room at the same rate to the same person using the same card. Really unnecessary bureaucracy. They should revise it…

The location was amazing, five minutes walk from the white house back side, with good access to the metro stations, two stations are located within five minutes walk from the hotel, many restaurants nearby with nice sushi place within 10 minutes walking distance the metro lines are providing quick cheap access to the touristic landmarks such as the National Mall, the Capitol Hill/Congress, the Prentagon and Arlington National Cemetery. The hotel apartment is five stars in my opinion with 24/7 front dest and very professional freidly staff, the reception can provide you with unlited number of toiletries, packed spring water cardboard bottles, washing machine powder, tea & Coffees which is part of the resort fees paid while checking in. The internet was fast and reliable. The apartment is spacious size, huge bedroonm with insuite bathroom with tub, the sitting roome is spacious with fully equipped kitchen including diswasher, washing machine and large fridge. Strogly recommended.

Location was amazing. So close to the White House and walking distance to the metro.

The terrace is not as indicated. Also surrounding restaurants close early. Hard to find somewhere to eat during late hours.

The staff was excellent each and every interaction. We loved the space and layout of the apt, the location to everything and the cinema.

The apt we got needed a DEEP clean. Orange slime mold in the shower of the master bath (the top of the bar soap holder). Dust on dressers and every corners of bathrooms. Rusted lights and shower corners. Needed refreshed. No amenities left for us in the master bath. We had to search for all the trash cans. The washer and dryer need to be cleaned. Mold on the rubber liner of the washer. We did not tell the front desk because it should have been clean prior to our arrival and we did not want to be bothered during our stay. Disappointed by the roof top terrace.

Great location and all the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Close walking distance to the Metro stations and lots to eat close by. Easy walk to the National Mall area. Unit was very spacious and the kitchen was equipped with the basic necessities if you wanted to eat or cook in. Surrounding area felt very safe. Very convenient for families that are traveling due to the 2 bedroom, 2 bath unit with shared living area.

There was an odd moldy smell when we showered and the steam would build up, but if we just left the door open while we showered it was fine.

Facilities were very roomy and homelike. The hotel was 2 to 3 blocks from three Metro stations offering access to four different Metro routes. Several eating and shopping venues were a short walk away, some just across the street, around the corner, or right next door.

Weekly housekeeping service takes some getting used to. My keycard didn't work the first time I tried to use it and had to go back down to reception to get it fixed (I understand that the facility began upgrading its locks after my stay).
