We stayed at the Donovan for a couple of nights starting on November 20th. I happen to prefer an ultra-modern, trendy decor, so as far as the decor was concerned I was quite happy. The "swirl" shower was interesting, but not clean in the crevices as I thought it should be and wasn't exactly practical. Bring your own toiletries as... more

My lasting impression of this hotel was that it was very pretentious & that they care more about image than they do about customer care. The hotel is modern, trendy & well situated within easy reach of everything that DC has to offer. The bedrooms are nicely designed, clean & spacious but this place really lets itself down with its... more

Not too bad

Location location location!! A simple rule in business and it applies to hotel locations as well hehe. I needed a hotel in the city of DC for a quick ride to a buddies party. Essentravel.com had a bunch to choose from in our nations capital and I do like brand names, so I got on the holiday inn for $59... more

I'd stayed at Donovan House in March in a standard queen room, and was impressed, so I was happy to stay there again when I returned to DC in November, and I wasn't disappointed. I was upgraded to a corner king room, which was fantastic. The room was very big with a massive bed and a really good desk to... more

We stayed one night. Our bedroom was very small but well designed in general. Very quiet, a plus in DC. However, it had only one bedside table, with the only bedside lamp for reading. The alternative was a pair of very strong halogen lights shining on both occupants of the bed simultaneously. The white spiral shower looked sleek from the... more

I stayed at the Donovan House for a recent business trip. We stayed here and invited people to some meals and meetings. All was great. I love the minimalist modern decor. It is as if you took the movie 2001 and made it into a hotel. Very very cool. more

Based on the reviews on TripAdvisor, I had high expectations, but was sadly disappointed. The problem may have been that I booked through 1-800-Hotels, but who doesn't like to get the lowest rate? When I called to confirm on the day we were due to arrive, they claimed to not have my reservation. After assuring the hostile and argumentative desk... more

Let me start by saying that me and my wife have travelled around Europe and North America extensivlely and this is her Favourite Hotel. Firstly, its located up the road from McPherson SQ Metro, so it's very easy to get around from here. When you walk through the hotel doors you are greeted by friendly staff and some great sounding... more

The room was great. However, a caveat if you are a business traveler who requires normal speed of internet connection, then you need to look for outside internet connection. First of all, it's unacceptable that they charge $10 per day, or $40 per 7 days for wi-fi, for the rate they are charging. More importantly, the internet speed is equivalent... more
