Just got back from a weekend at The Donovan House, which we booked on a flash sale. It was okay, maybe pretty good, but not really good or outstanding. The ultra-modern decor is interesting from a distance, but a little shop-worn up close. It's clean enough, but could use a fresh coat of paint in most places. The Donovan House... More

Which means it looks and feels like that. Very hip styling, with comfortable hanging seats in the lobby. Room was great, from the view to the bed to how quiet it was, and service was great and very friendly. Location is also great. We'd return! More

Though we live just outside the DC border, we took advantage of my mom being in town to babysit, and took a little night-away to the Donovan House. We got an awesome deal from the website travelzoo.com. We loved this place! The rooms were very modern and hip. We liked the recessed lighting built into the head board, and the... More

The Donovan House has some very good features. It is ideally located in central DC. The lobby is nicely inviting and chicly decorated. The leather seats with pillows by the elevator are especially nice touches. The price is good too. There are, unfortunately, also problems. The room has a self-consciously modern decor that sacrifices comfort for a cool vibe. The... More

I stayed at Donovan House for just one night on a recent business trip. The experience was enjoyable overall, but not memorable. The location of the hotel is excellent just up the street from The White House. I was centrally located and had access to most everything I needed. The staff was courteous, but not fantastic. I was the only... More

We spent a Sat night here recently to celebrate a birthday. We were given a "complimentary upgrade" when the type of room we had booked was no longer available. For the hype surrounding this hotel I think it under delivers. It's a cheap option for a boutique hotel in downtown DC though and has a great view of Thomas Circle.... More

We booked thru Hotels.com, got a terrific rate, the room was just fine - not fancy but I wasn't expecting fancy. Lobby was funky. We had meetings at the White House and this was a short cab ride away - also only a few blocks from the Metro station which we took from Reagan Airport. The restaurant had the best... More

I have spent a couple of days in this hotel to celebrate the bday of one of my best friend. It looks like the place where to be to celebrate: great room service, fantastic roof-top terrace to start the night and a great party atmosphere (there were more groups here celebrating different events, included a bachelorette). The design of the... More

We stayed for a night to just have a fun night in the city, and overall it was very nice. We booked a Travelzoo rate that was very reasonable so it was fine, but our room was quite small and had a view of the back of another building rather than Thomas Circle. A couple of things in the room... More
