Guest reviews for Sofitel Washington DC Lafayette Square
The location was perfect since we were in DC to view the White House Christmas decorations. We loved everything about staying at the Sofitel. The staff was very helpful with all of our questions. The beds and pillows were very comfortable and the room was very quiet...no street or hall noise. I would definitely stay at Sofitel again on a return trip to DC.

Business Trip to DC
Pros:
The bed was SO nice.
Cons:
Cheaper minibar prices?
Location:
Near White House. Good restaurants nearby at decent prices.
We booked 7 rooms at the Sofitel and got a great deal on a lovely hotel through Travelocity. The rooms were beautiful with plenty of outlets for devices and REALLY comfortable beds! Great location -- near the White House -- with lots of restaurants nearby. Be sure to look at the minibar prices before partaking.

This is a very sophisticated, upscale hotel with modern furnishings that is in walking distance to the Washington monuments and museums. The room was quiet and extremely clean. However, breakfast is not included and valet parking is a staggering $65 per day. That said, I felt that the room price was a reasonably good value, just park elsewhere.

We're so glad you enjoyed your stay as well as our restaurant. We hope to welcome you back soon.
A nice short stay
It was my first time to DC and I picked this hotel due to its proximity to my office. It came out the hotel is nice and clean. Good breakfast served in the bistro. Also it's short walk to White House and the town center for shopping. It's close to blue metro line and is easy to commu to museums.
I will stay here again next time here.

Not Bad but Not Great
Pros:
Location, free wifi,
Hotel Staff is very friendly as most hotels are. Building was conveniently located for all the tourist attractions as the white house is right around the corner. I purchased a room with a city view. The view was of a dumpster in an alley and the rooms on the other side of a U shaped building. Not appealing at all. Not worth the extra money. Nice mini bar and they claim to restock it everyday. I was there 3 days and it did not get restocked once. It does not have a bar with a tv if you like to get a cocktail and watch news or game while wife or kids get ready. Not a deal breaker but good to know. If you like a shower with water pressure this is not the place. Trickling rain effect with luke warm water just didnt cut it for me. I dont know if it was because it was very cold out but the water never got hot the way I like it. My daughter likes hot baths and they did have a tub so thats nice but I do not think it was cleaned at all while we were there. Hair was still in tub when we got back from sightseeing. I paid like $55 extra a night for free breakfast. What they dont tell you is that it only includes breakfast for one and its only $28 value even though they know you have a guest. Math didnt add up. All in all nice hotel but not worth the money in my opinion.

Thank you for your review. We're so glad you were able to take advantage of our central location and were thrilled with our services!
Pros:
Location
Cons:
Housekeeping. Also had to ask for an in-room coffee machine and then every day to ask for more coffee and cups
Location was perfect. Staff said all the right things but didn't follow through. Had lots of difficulty getting the room cleaned ...maybe because we didn't leave early but even when we mentioned to staff that we were going out and wanted it cleaned within next few hours, it was not done. We expect a hotel of this caliber to work around our schedule - not theirs. We stayed in Sofitel Paris and thought it was fabulous. Disappointed with this one
