As a Kimpton InTouch member, the hotel sent me a birthday offer on a discounted room. I decided to use it for my BF birthday ( a couple of weeks before mine). I made a note on my reservation that I was surprising my BF for his birthday. When we got to the hotel, Ritchie checked us in told my... More

I have been going to this hotel for years on New Years Eve. The staff and my experience have been nothing short of superb. If you want to surprise your spouse, significant other, or friends definitely book this hotel!! This is truly a boutique hotel with the furniture and layout unique compared to your everyday hotel. The prices are reasonable... More

This hotel has two very good things going for it - its location and its price. The location, halfway between Dupont Circle and Logan Circle, is incredibly close to a host of DC sites and restaurants but it's tucked into a residential street, making it especially endearing. I have stayed in DC dozens of times for various reasons, and I... More

Nice place, good performance during the tropical storm Sandy and the time we had to stay at the hotel because of that storm. Close to the centre of Washington, just a little walk to famous buildings, musea, etc. One thing: my room had only a very little bathroom, although clean.

The Helix at first glance is giving you lots of fancy and hip...at a closer look, the place needs a revamp. I was initially excited to stay at a lil swanky spot but just below the surface was a worn and outdated appeal. The staff were clearly sweet but untrained in hotel hospitality; less seasoned and well meaning but the... More

I love the Helix! This was my second stay at the Helix and it is just a funky hotel. The staff are incredibly friendly and the rooms very unique. Admittedly, the room decorations do get a little over the top after you have stayed there previously, nonetheless it is very comfortable and quiet. The bathrooms are very small, so if... More

We booked a family suite at the Helix. The room was a little worn and had seen better days, it is really time for an upgrade on fabrics and bathroom. House Keeping left much to be desired and I even had a house keeper yell at me when I asked for the room to be furnished with bathroom glasses and... More

Went to DC with a friend, we did get a really good rate but then found out how they will make back their money. Parking was $39.00 a night ($50.00 with tax) and went up while we were there to $42.00 for the new customers. Continental breakfast cost $12.00, internet $11.99 a night. The robes they promise are not the... More

The rooms were nice, with good bedding and nice pillow options. The wallpaper in my room was peeling in places, and the bathtub was only 3 or 4 inches from the toilet - but that didn't really bother me. The bar downstairs was nice, and the service was great. I'd stay here again.
