Capital Skyline Hotel Review

Place seemed nice just wish the buffet was included and wifi was faster, I'd go back.

You can see the Capitol from the window of the room.

Location is great. Close to monuments. Staff is good. The breakfast should have some more variety and the management should pay attention to how to manage the breakfast crowd at the peak hours.

A strategic hotel for people who come for business or tourism to Washington.

Good location, great pool, good breakfast, single room in 800 m distance

This establishment has potential, but has no one to take proper care of it. Yesterday my family and I see the pool manager allow a guest try to illegally sneak friends and family members into the pool area and then when they got caught turned her attention to the family next to her that she not only stole their umbrella, but apparently lied to the poolside staff that he and a security personnel came up to the the family with 2 kids whom were eating lunch and minding their own business and let one of the friends she did smuggle in threaten the dad and we promptly left never to come back again. By the way, the management is poor that staff quote of do not show up and they are unable to handle orders, requests for service, and cannot enforce their own rules with guests who blatantly abuse the rules.

This side of town is looking great. We had a wonderful stay here.

Service is great, the renovation really made a difference and the chicken tequila soup is a life saver!

When I booked my trip it didn't say paid parking over $40.00 for one night. the towels were like sandpaper shower head was old parking was behind the building.

Fun times for the weekend pool party :) They could really improve the food situation though. I understand that people go to drink, dance, and swim but an improved food menu would be great too. Overall a pretty fun way to spend a Sunday.

Perfect place to stay the night in DC. It was a 10 minute cab ride to the national mall, reasonable parking rate for the night and our room was clean and updated.

Parking and breakfast is not included. Experience was good. Star rating is low as it was not explicitly mentioned on 3rd party partners which I used to book

The rooms were overly dark. There was only one light in the bathroom. The air conditioner would cycle on and off every minute or so, it sounded as if a jet engine had ignited each time it went off. The buffet breakfast (not included in the room rate) was subpar and some of the cereal food dispensers were not working properly. The gift shop is a joke, never had any newspapers (not to mention that the hotel does not provide any to guests). The desk clerks have large chips on their shoulders, don't want to be bothered too much with questions from guests. We stayed three nights (Mon-Wed) and the worst aspect was that the hotel advertised a rate on line (in my case $189 per night), when I received the bill, I was told that rate was only for the first night (Tuesday and Wednesday were $259 per night) - read the fine print before you book (I don't recommend that you do). This hotel is a dump, avoid it like the plague.

The rooms could have been a little nicer (our bathroom fan didn't work) but overall a very nice stay. The staff here is great.

Location is walking distance from monuments and from Washington National Park. Room is spacious with fridge and coffee maker included. Pool available and is very clean.

Hotel was great! Excellent interior reflecting the environment of the neighborhood

Great hotel close to Washington's main attractions!

Staff have been very nice and helpful when I definitely needed help! The AC in my room is pretty loud but you get used to it. It's located downtown right in the middle of a lot of fun places. Parking is expensive so we parked on the street without a problem.

Robert in Sales was incredibly helpful. An alumni group from Stoneman Douglas in Parkland was interested in group rates for the March of Our Lives weekend and I spoke to Robert and he was incredibly helpful in gathering information and provided a very reasonable rate.

Used parking garage for Nationals Game, safe and secure lot and a decent price

I was told at the desk that for 1 night for a standard double room was $99 plus $30 for parking and $25 returnable fee so $154 plus tax would be on my card. Instead I get charged $343 then 4 days later another charge of $35 comes out almost $400 for a room only worth $99. I've called and left messages for the hotel manager to call me or the account manager neither has called and it's now the 28th. My advice is not to stay at this hotel they will rip you off....

Breakfast isn't included. Building could use an update

Perfect place to go for a cheaper stay and not get murdered!

it was a decent booking. got it for govt rate. room service was alright. the night stand was slight dusty. breakfast is not worth it.

good to stay here with free breakfast, the receptor is so nice and really love the china take out food near!

Interesting architectural features, but the walls and hallways are paper thin. Definitely a developing area.

It's decent. Nice room, but kinda away from everything major in Washington. Was also missing several amenities in the room. Orange something on the bathroom floor. Bed was comfy and clean though.

Hotel was nice, pool was beautiful. Was surprised there wasn't a mini-fridge. The rooms were well sized, beds were comfortable. No complaints.

Something went wrong, the booking was not successful, but they solved it very well. The service is also very good.

I enjoyi my stay at Capitol Skyline hotel spending my free on the hotel's free internet to connect with my people in Kenya. The view of the city from my window is clear and gorgeous.

The Capitol Skyline Hotel has served as the venue for our organization's monthly luncheon meetings since the spring of 2014. The hospitality, attention to detail, plated luncheon food selections, service and staff is outstanding! We highly recommend the CSH for your organization's event, meeting, weekend away in the District of Columbia or to stay nearby when your team (or ours) is playing at nearby Nat's Park.

Friendly staff. Awesome pool. Great rooms. Only gave 4 stars because parking was an additional fee and there was no breakfast included. All in all I would stay again.

Did not stay here, just paid for use of the parking. Staff were friendly, faculty was clean and orderly.

Nice place, friendly staff. Not sure who numbered the rooms, unique.

Faucets in poor condition, no fridge, mattress very, very soft. A little careless

Great, clean, comfortable room. Very friendly staff. Diverse, international clientele.

Very good stay, minor maintenance issues. Great front staff, very helpful
Complimentary shuttle service to 3 major tourist stops in DC.

This Hotel is very nice, very clean and the staff is excellent. I love the pool area it's like being on Island :)...I rate it a 5 star....and thanks Chanel for your help and pleasant attitude

Beware. This is advertised as being "10 minutes away" from the Capitol. Don't be fooled. If you decide to walk it will take you 20-30 minutes. You're an hour away from the memorials. It's been 12 business days since check out and I still have not gotten my 100 credit card hold returned to my card. That was a surprise. No hairdryer. Dated rooms. Front desk service is NOT GOOD AT ALL. They don't explain anything at all and look at you like you're dumb. Breakfast is not included. Should have stayed elsewhere.

Wonderfully accommodating staff. Very good breakfast with great coffee at additional cost..Shuttle van, Good Bar. Good location. Clean rooms.The neighborhood is on the upswing, with new apartments being built which will bring restaurants, eventually. One of the much better value hotels I ve stayed at.

Hotel good, staff luck thing, parking high-priced ($ 30 + / night), just capital. Only in San Francisco have we paid more.

Great stay. Wonderful views. Clean rooms nice treat for the price.

Decent clean modern rooms. friendly staff great price, great breakfast brunch price. Cant give 5 star was a little odd the mini fridge was just on the floor in the corner. THE AIR WAS NOT SENDING COOL AIR AT ALL IT WAS VERY WARM IN THE ROOM maybe its turned off because its dec...little noisy form the neighboring rooms, cab driver warned us not to open doors from homeless ppl knocking on our room door , which makes no sense how will they get in? weird advice. They had me listed as pool view i never saw a pool.

Great venue for a social event. Not sure where the food came from (maybe it was in house?) but it was fantastic.

I only used the garage using SpotPass, and it was tricky figuring out how to park. Otherwise, was a fine experience.

They lied to us about pool hours and refused to give us compensation. This hotel is a joke, never give them your money. Horrible management and breakfast is wayyyy overpriced.

Decent place to stay. Not too far from the Capitol building but carpet in my room was a little wet but rest was all good.

Very Not Thrilled. I could hear the people next door clearly until they went to sleep at 2am thanks to the lack of sound-proofing between the doors that separated our rooms. the bill for $41 for parking in a lot, which I was not informed until check out, that was supposed to be locked at 10pm would have been cheaper if I had parked across the street. People who worked there did not seem to know what was going on in or around the hotel.

Very spacious rooms. Nice pool where simple dishes were served. Very suitable for children. A haven of peace in a busy city. Recommended!

Good beds, nice pool, clean, very expensive parking and no fridge in the room. Hotel is within walking distance of all highlights.

Nickel pool, nearby metro (Navy Yard) and spacious room.

The hotel was in a good location, but the room smelled and the front desk has no clue about shuttle service

It's not a great looking hotel from the outside, but inside is lovely and must have recently undergone a renovation. The pool area was spacious and well-laid out. The landscaping around the deck definitely caught my eye. I was worried to see my room was next to the elevator, but didn't hear a sound from the hall the entire time I was there, even at night. Beds are super comfy. Rooms are a bit small but not too bad. AC was working really well, though, which is so important in DC in June. And, it's a quick and easy cab ride away from National Airport.

Cons:
No bell hop.
No full length mirror in the room.
No check-in before 4--they state this on their site and when you arrive, but there appears to be zero flexibility on this. Which is even more frustrating when at 4, 4:15 and 4:20 they still won't check people in--not to mention the time it took to check in lines and lines of (anxious) people.
Immediate neighborhood lacks amenities.

Unclean, old (70 years) ... There is no restaurant, only a pool bar with citizens and pizza ... Breakfast was okay ...

Excellent service.Angela and Daniella at the desk went above and beyond.

Friendly staff, great location, nice view. The bed was very uncomfortable.

This hotel is a good value. Older but well kept and a decent location. I ve stayed here a few times.

Cozy rooms and reception service are very nice and they helped us a lot

Nice place, close to the Ballpark. Pool was nice and staff was friendly.

Pretty run down. No coffee maker or refrigerator in the rooms. Only one ice machine and it's in the basement. Our room smelled pretty bad. Beds are small (full size, not queen size.) Breakfast buffet cost 11.99 and it was very limited. The desk staff was nice, but housekeeping was cranky.

Stopped by today to check out this hotel to see if I felt comfortable recommending it to friends coming to visit in DC. What a pleasant surprise. It is charming, immaculate, reasonable and with many amenities to recommend it such as full breakfast every morning included , free shuttle to many places in DC, awesome pool, workout room, interesting art throughout this well designed botique hotel. I will be recommending Capital Skyline to all my friends!

Rooms were comfortable and clean. The pool area is beautiful and fun.

Very nice hotel but I guess they need to put free bottle of water in rooms

Except for no microwave and fridge in the room this was a great hotel. I would stay here again for sure.
