Top Founders Library Hotel Reviews

District Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great location and friendly staff. The hotel is comfortable, and I really enjoyed my stay. The only thing that could be better is the Wi-Fi"

Arlo Washington DC

10/10 Excellent

"Loved it here"

Lyle Washington D.C.

10/10 Excellent

"Conveniently located walking distance from multiple cafes and bike stops. This was our second stay at The Lyle and it was perfect for us."

Charming & Spacious Apt in Historic Rowhouse

10/10 Excellent

"Location, location, location! The best thing about this property is the neighborhood. It was safe and very friendly (A lot of dog walkers!) You were a few minutes walk from Whole Foods, Target, Trader Joes, several restaurants, and a Metro station. We were able to grab provisions easily coming home from a day of sight seeing. We stayed over a week, so it was great to use the kitchen, washer & dryer etc.. It was comfortable, clean, and I would recommend to anyone looking to enjoy DC."

DC Apartment: 2 Mi to National Mall!

8/10 Good

"Good property in a good neighborhood. Guest/street parking was very easy. The room was pet friendly with a convenient dog park 2 blocks away."

Pure Voyage Shaw

8/10 Good

"This location is in the shaw building and is right next door to the Howard theater. It was easy for uber/lyft to find and is convenient to get to/from the airport and other places in DC. The apartment was SPACIOUS!!! 2 bedrooms and 2 baths but the open living room/kitchen concept was nice. There was a washer/dryer and plenty of dishes to use. Only downside - the window coverings let light through, so bring your eye mask if you wake up easily due to light. Not a downside, but remember you’re in the city so there may be loud talking (outside) or sirens from time to time. I would stay again."
