    It was good. Nice friendly staff and modern hotel. A bit on the pricey side.

    I loved it.

    It was nice. The toilet was very loud and we could hear when the people in room above us flushed their toilet too.

    We couldn’t figure out how to leave the headboard LED lights on & turn off the night stand lights, lol. That’s all!

    My husband and I are very much diverse when it comes to visiting different cities. Staying at Hotel Zena gave us just that; from the art work to FigLeaf bar & lounge(located in main lobby), to the location. This location is near many brunch and night lounge places.

    A DC Must-Stay
    • Leisure trip
    • Family with young children
    • Zena City View Two Queens
    • Stayed 8 nights

    Traveled with my mother, my husband, and three children in two rooms. This hotel was very supportive of my family vacation. There is a pool table and huge "lite-brite" wall which was so much fun for the kids in the lobby. I loved all of the femenist artwork. The best part of the experience was the generosity and attentiveness of the staff. I cannot overstate how pleasant and kind everyone was, particularly the valet team. I don't think I've ever felt so "at home" in a hotel before. DC is an exhausting family vacation, and Zena was a perfect spot to rest and recharge. Can't wait to come back!

    This hotel is a work of art and a celebration of womanhood, just a quick trip to the mall.

    I had to follow up one day for housekeeping to come to my room, but that was resolved immediately after I requested service.

    This room is spectacular and spacious. I loved all of the modern and subtle femenist touches. The staff is extremely attentive and kind. You can't beat the location just blocks away from anything you might want to see in DC-right around the corner from the Planet Word museum. My family and I had a great visit.

    The breakfast is not a buffet but an à la carte choice that is actually more expensive than the advertised price of $21…

    Comfortable and well placed hotel (next to a subway station with SV line direct to Dulles airport). Available and attentive staff.

    Only complaint was the room would not get cooler than 73 degrees even when we had it set to 65. We like sleeping in cooler rooms, but the room was spotless and beautiful.

    The gentleman valet from Ethiopia was maybe the best valet I've ever met. So humble and kind. Always smiling and a joy to speak to. I'll remember him for years. Perfect location with loads to do. If you dont mind walking it's super easy to navigate around the circles to go to amazing eateries.

    The hotel is so chic, trendy and artsy - definitely decorated with women and women’s empowerment in mind. The Zena Circle View King Suite was great and has 1.5 restrooms. The special care and attention to detail from ALL the staff was 👌🏾 - it was my birthday weekend and I was greeted with chocolate covered strawberries, a bottle of Merlot and a handwritten note!! Love the hotel, love the Brunch at Figleaf, loved the staff and will definitely return the next time I’m spending a weekend in DC - highly recommend.

    Felt very under-staffed. At times no one in the lobby even at front desk or bell or bar. May have been off-season so close to x-mas holiday but a welcoming friendly face would have upped this a notch. Regardless the hotel is so nice it was a wonderful stay. Note to hotel, shower floors very slippery

    Playful and Great design, very comfortable stay.

    There was an extra $30 daily fee to use the gym, internet and pool, but the outdoor pool was close due to the weather. Due to the glass wall between the shower and bedroom, when the bathroom light was on, it shone brightly into the bedroom, an annoyance if someone else is trying to sleep.

    The room was spacious and comfortable, with good lighting and a beautiful view of Thomas Circle. The gym was well equipped, clean, and included a Peloton. The location was excellent, walkable to museums, the Mall, and restaurants.
