Capital Skyline Hotel Review

Meh. Old and out dated. Beds and pillows were not comfy. Shower was not the best either. Not the best hotel experience I ve had. Not the worst tho

Average hotel breakfast ok rooms ok friendly and helpful staff

Cute, large rooms, close to the Capitol and located in a beautiful residential neighborhood!

Staff was extremely friendly and helpful. A bit of a walk to the capitol but it is walkable. Will stay there again when I go back

I didn't know what to expect when booking since the reviews were mixed but overall I had a pleasant experience. Beginning with reservations, I contacted the hotel in advance of my trip and had spoken with Priscilla Benner regarding the rates that I had seen online not comparing with what I was quoted. Without any hesitation she adjusted my rate for two nights. There is an option to add breakfast to your reservation but I opted not to include it.

Upon arrival, the staff was very friendly and I didn't have any issues with the room itself. It was clean and it had what I needed for two nights. Sure it could have used a few updates but I was rarely in my room during my trip to even notice. I also had a great view of the Capitol Building.

The hotel is very close to major attractions. There weren't a lot of food options in the immediate area but with a 10-15 minute walk or drive you can access other options nearby.

The hotel also offers a free shuttle during the week and on Saturdays. This is drop off only but really comes in handy to save on Uber/Lyft or other transportation related costs.

I would recommend this hotel if you are seeking a budget friendly option that isn't too far from the major museums and National Mall. Comparable options with similar rates that I had originally considered were 40-45 minutes away.

The hotel seems a bit older, but the manager and employees are incredibly professional and courteous. The rooms were recently renovated, I would recommend this hotel for anyone looking for a reasonable place to stay in the D.C. area

This hotel was great. They gave us two breakfast tickets and the breakfast was delicious. It was close to the subway station and some restaurants.

Big room, beds great size and comfortable. Sanitary must be renovated. A bit away from the center. Hard to reach without a taxi.

AC broken in first room. Moved to another room. Pulled back the bed sheets and there was a blood stain and what looked like a used tissue. Save your money go somewhere else. Very unhappy with rude person at check in also. we did get breakfast coupons. Still not worth it. We didn't see on the website where it's like $30-35 a DAY to park and then the asked for a card to put a $100 hold on just incase we brake something. I have had other places keep my card but not put a hold on it. Over all its falling apart, full of rude people, and in desperate need of new management.

Great! Room staff location. Comfortable beds and very clean.

Nice place to throw a party, and if you can stay a night or two.

The location is okay. They have ample parking in parking garage. The entrance is okay to get to if you're coming off of 695 to the the South Capitol Street exit. I've never stayed in the room there. I've been through a event and picked up a couple of people there. I drive Lyft so I've stopped in a couple of times before. It's a nice hotel. They do host events. Everyone has been happy with what they intended. Nice interior at the lobby area and at the pool..

Disappointing. This hotel doesn t offer any good amenities. The pool was closed when we were there, and this was before Covid, and when it was warm outside. It didn t have a nice restaurant for dinner either, or any in room service. The location was the best thing, since it was located close to the main DC attractions, and the room was quite comfortable.

The hotel is a 15-minute walk from the Capitol. There are also restaurants within walking distance (which you must look for yourself).
Front desk staff were not really friendly.
Were easily lost.
If you asked for information, it usually meant that you had to sort it out yourself.
They have a restaurant that would be open until 10 pm, so that is not true. they have a restaurant where you can have breakfast and lunch (pay in advance), but you have to dine in the bar. There is no cosiness here and the bartender was as unfriendly as anything.
The hotel is also 50 km from Dulles and you have to go to the hotel on your own and you also have to arrange your own transport back to the airport. This is not provided by the hotel, so there is no shuttle service. You can take a taxi, Uber, Super shuttle
or bus to and from the airport.

Used spothero to park for the game and it was so easy!! They were very nice!

Discreet hotel but absolutely without any pretense. Cleaning is minimal but acceptable. The location is not central but convenient to the subway

Very little parking. The staff is rude and un approachable. The rooms are dated, like of outlets, lighting and water pressure. Not a good experience at all.

a really bad location. the room was great, big and clean. a good shower. the employees were okay, but not as gracious as there were at other hotel across the country. location is bad. not near the main tourist attractions (I.E the mall, memorials, capitol hill..) and not near a direct public transportation to lead to those places. plus, i dont know if its a coincidence or reflection of the area but we were attacked by rawly teens on the street. do no

Clean rooms and within walking distance to restaurants.. did not have a microwave or mini fridge in room, lacked water pressure in the shower, and breakfast was not included in the price of the room.

The rooms are nice, the bed is comfy and the shower facilities are decent. Don't let the outside look of the hotel fool you as it does look old but inside is very modern and clean! Good location within a 5 to 10 minutes to a Metro station that will allow you to explore D.C and check out the landmarks freely.

Decently located hotel for those looking to stay in either the newer Yards area or needing decent access to the Capitol area. Little noise despite the nearby freeway. During the week, there's a shuttle to get you to the Mall area, but there is also a Metro stop within walking distance. Our weekend rate made this a very economical place to stay.

The only bad there was parking.. they offer a parking lot super expensive per Night...

I tried to check-in tonight and was told they have plumbing problems and I wouldn t be able to stay at the hotel. They rebooked me at a hotel 25 minutes outside the city. They didn t email or call me to notify me of the issue. Unacceptable.

Amazing People working here, really nice. They let us park our car there (for an extra fee of 30 something dollars) but they let us park it there until 5:00pm after we've checked out, which is nice for Washington DC parking.

Nice 60's vibe to watch Mad Men. Room was clean, shower was hot. The hotel bar felt like a room in a frat house. Staff was very nice. I would stay again, but would skip the bar.

Hotel is okay, the location is good. This is sufficient for 1-2 nights.

Rooms are great! Recently updated, clean, and good furniture. Lobby is beautiful and useful as well. Exterior of hotel looks a bit worn down, but not bad. Pool is beautiful. Neighborhood is on the rise. So.e blocks look not great, but really good food/bars close by, as is Nationals stadium and capitol hill. Great price on room, too. All things considered, this is a great find!

We felt very safe and secure at this Washington DC hotel. They have a great shuttle service that takes you to just about all the D.C. Sites! Outdoor pool was very refreshing after a long hot day of touring. The most amazing breakfast buffet we have had in a long time.

They even had a small business center where we could continue to fill orders while we were away, and there was a Postal Office 2 blocks away, which really made our visit possible. We really enjoyed our 10 day stay and would absolutely LOVE to be able to visit again someday. Thank you so much, we truly are grateful...

Clean, nice view and good food. Funny lights in restaurant, they look like 5 year olds made them in kindergarten. If you have left overs they have refrigerators in the rooms but if you need to warm up your food you have to take a trip to the basement where the microwave is, down by the parking garage. I

THE MANAGEMENT HERE ARE EXTREMELY RUDE! PLEASE STAY AWAY!

Spoke with the Office Manager, Denise, today to inquire about this hotel and she was extremely rude, short, disrespectful, and unwilling to answer questions. The customer service at this hotel is horrible. I was getting ready to make a reservation until my encounter with this person and it was definitely a red flag!

DONT WASTE YOUR TIME HERE!

The hotel was a little older, but still nice. The staff was very helpful and my room was clean.

Good hotel. We had a great view of the Capitol from our room.

I loved everything quite friendly and helpful with me

The worst hotel ever. The hotel relocated me without contacting me before doing it stating a water leak was in the room. However, they had already placed a guess in the room and charged as if I stayed there.

Overall,not a bad hotel. Not a bad walk to National Stadium! Capitol view is nice. Pool was not family friendly! Lots of drinking and inappropriate activities for children.

Nice hotel. Friendly, helpful staff. Great location.

Hotel with excellent value for money.
Rather well done rooms, with a suite (office, bedroom, dressing room, bathroom) per floor.

A little far from the center nevertheless.

Clean and in an area that is getting a huge make over.

The parking attendant was rude but it was still a pretty good place to park

I would love to be able to give a better review to this hotel but an hour before we were supposed to check in we received an email informing us that due to maintenance issues our room we would have to stay at a different hotel. Not only were we barely given any notice but this new hotel was in Maryland, and in that lovely DC traffic it was over an hour and a half drive from DC to the new hotel. The whole point of staying at Capitol Skyline was to be close to the Mall and avoid as much driving as possible. Staff at our new hotel made it sound as though these maintenance problems were just a fancy way of saying we overbooked our hotel and now you have to pay the price for it. We had also called and requested several months prior to our stay to request an additional night at the Capitol Skyline, and we were told this was taken care of. Of course once we got to DC we also discovered that this had never been changed and we were only booked for one night. Several phone calls later and we have received no response from Capitol Skyline. So thank you Capitol Skyline for ruining what was supposed to be a nice trip!

The location was great, we could easily walk to the capitol. A couple blocks to the east are some bikes to rent as well. The staff was friendly but the room was a bit outdated. We had a small leakage in the bathroom ceiling.
The pool wasn't open yet when we were here in April, even though it was 28C degrees already!

Good prices great view. Only down falls is you have to pay for parking

Rooms are nice and very clean. Pool area is great. Service was so-so.

We were quote a price and they double it when we arrived. Not happy at all

Fine clean room, expensive restaurant, and bad wifi

Excellent hotel I recommend it to everybody very clean respectful people. I really felt very comfortable.

Every hotel I've ever been to, you are able to check in early. Here? Nope! Funny thing is, one employee is ready to check me in and the other comes in and says that they have no rooms available. I have a crying baby and I'm from out of town, been driving all night and you can't find me one available room an hour before 3? How is that? It's 2pm and the way they said it, you could obviously tell they were lying. I won't be staying here again! Not worth it to have to wait around.
Also, there was a cockroach in the lobby. Definitely off-putting.

They front staff were excellent, Ariel, Sarra, and the manager made our stay comfortable.

The room is great and the bed was comfortable. The service is really great and the breakfast was great and not too expensive. I would come again without any problem! The location is not too far from the attractions and museum. It took 15 minutes on car or 30 minutes of walk to go to the Capitol.

Had to cancel due to COVID-19, Washington DC made an order to not travel. All reservations cancelled on us, which we understand. Reservations were for the middle of June. We attempted numerous times to get someone on the line, but even as early as today, no one picks up the phone... it rang for over 6 min today. We have 2 emails that are lengthy, both without replies since beginning of June.
Orbitz says they have only given credit back to same hotel over $600 dollars which has to be used by early July next year or we lose it! No plans to go back to DC, but more alarming is with this kind of customer service, why would I want to go there? They are stealing people s money during this Pandemic!!
DO NOT GO THERE!

Nice place. Great price. No coffee in lobby though and I ve never stayed where coffee wasn t available in lobby 24/7. Front desk said bar was open at 2. It wasn t. She asked mngr. then said 3:30. It wasn t. Didn t open until happy hour at 4. I went somewhere else and got lunch for my dad and I.

Strategically has a good location for someone who is visiting for several days. Walkable to the warf, the Capitol, National Mall. Fairly clean rooms...Oddly enough their shower was disappointing. If you have long or voluminous hair, u will not b able to wash it. Otherwise u will enjoy ur stay

Dated (60's), and dark, but clean. Nice pool on a hot day. Good breakfast. Attentive and polite staff. Close to Capitol building and mall (20 minute walk), Nationals Stadium, and Navy Yard. A very good value.

Room was clean but sofa bed was not made. Took safe to arrive 30 mins later upon request to come to room with sheets for our pull out bed. They didn't even attempt to make it. Hotel was very noisy as well.

Hotel was nice and relatively close to the national mall. Only negative was the service at the desk.

No ac it's hot no coffee restaurant close after 11 u get better service at motel 8 stay somewhere else

Really good for the price. Good location. Parking fee is not included but I was able to free park overnight at a corner street.

Great staff! Beautiful pool area at night. Drinks served by the pool even better. Nice bed and clean.

So great location very close to all attractions nice pool breakfast was okay Staff is a matter of luck you have to ask a lot.

Location was easy to get to, parking only $30. Coffee in room and free wifi. Only problem was dirty coffee cup and towel. Pool was nice too.

I enjoyed my stay. Friendly staff. Very clean room. Secure parking.

Old appearance, but modernized inside. Rooms on the south side are very gehoorig, lots of traffic noise and the airport.

Sub par to say the least. One side's view is the National's stadium, the other is a half assed view of the capitol building. My room smelled sour. The window was broken. The internet is free, but 1994 AOL dial up slow, but you can pay for upgraded broadband. The restaurant is a joke, basically an upscale Denny's.

A really decent place with nice lobby and amenities that seems way less promising from the outside.

It's tough to rate the hotel when it is being renovated, because it is inconvenient by nature. The paint smell was strong and throughout the building.

The rooms are nice but simple, but the air conditioning did not work well. The room was unbearably warm. The room did nit have some basic amenities like an ice bucket or a hair dryer.

The work out are was run down and the equipment was not well maintained.

The staff was courteous and polite.

My stay at the hotel was only for one night but it was ok. Place is clean, has a nice pool. This time I was on the 3rd floor so the view was trees. Last time I stayed on the 6th floor and I could see the Capital building.

Very varied breakfast included, pleasant swimming pool, but Internet access has blocked its use for a few days.

Hotel location is good, the room can overlook the Parliament building, very beautiful

Our family enjoyed our stay here. Friendly staff. Clean rooms. Very affordable price.

No water pressure, and you have to pay $41.00 to park !!

Beautiful place. Wonderful staff. I would love to return. Wonderful breakfast to start the day.

Attending the meeting/luncheon of the Association of the Oldest Inhabitants of Washington DC ... fantastic venue for this historic group.

Food and services were terrific ... had a great time
