The hotel was perfectly situated for our stay and very comfortable. The rooms were roomy and fresh. Via the nearby Metro (even in the rain) we easily reached our destinations. (In 15 minutes we were at the National Mall using the orange or blue Metro line.) Staff was extremely helpful -- at check-in, check-out, breakfast (which was lovely), with answers and recommendations; they worked hard to make our stay pleasant. But our favorite was Girja, our Bell Man... He greeted us at the door by name with his big warm smile, was enjoyable to converse with and always had a sparkle in his eye. We will definitely return to the Hyatt Arlington our next visit to the D.C. area to enjoy it's comforts and see the friends we made this time around.

We wanted a nice hotel close to downtown DC and close to the metro. This hotel is a fantastic options if your criteria are the same. The lobby is very nice and modern, and the rooms are fairly modern as well. The bathrooms are particularly nice. The staff was helpful checking us in, despite some confusion about how many people we had in each room. The hotel is literally across the street from the Rosslyn metro station, so you can't beat that. The hotel has restaurants and other facilities but we didn't really check them out. There is free wifi in the lobby, but not in the rooms (the only con about the hotel).

If you need to stay in Rosslyn or want to stay close to DC, this is an excellent option.

After traveling to Washington for years and never staying in VA, I discovered this Hyatt.
Excellent experience. And proximity to Metro obviates need of car for city center & most attractions.

One Metro stop from the Kennedy Center and on both the Orange & Red Lines. Metro station (Rosslyn) just around the corner.
Georgetown a few minutes away by car, just across Key Bridge.
Valet and personal parking available (most spaces for valet-parked cars).
Courteous, knowledgeable, helpful staff.
Impeccably clean, attractive room. Small refrigerator, Internet connection (fee).
Excellent breakfast buffet; courteous, attentive but unobtrusive, wait staff.
Easily accessible by Metro from Reagan.

We stayed there one night because it was cheaper than other nearby Hyatts, and for good reason. Although we had a special deal through AAA with a breakfast buffet, the staff manning the buffet were almost completely inattentive and had to summoned to get basics like coffee, juice, etc. The quality of the buffet was also not up to the standards of other Hyatts like the one on Capitol Hill. The parking was underground and not well marked for self-parking, since a great number of the parking slots, although unused, were reserved for valet parking. Security is obviously an issue there, since it is the first hotel where I have had to use my room key just to use the elevator. Although it is not far off of Interstate 66, the route back to I-66 was somewhat convoluted and not well marked. Thankfully, our GPS finally got us there. If you can afford better, I would go elsewhere.
