Hotel Convenent Review I recently stayed at Royal Sonesta and had an overall pleasant experience. The location is incredibly convenient, being close to the metro train station, making it easy to get around the city. There are also plenty of dining options nearby, which was a big plus. The rooms were clean and spacious, offering a comfortable environment to unwind after a busy day. The front desk staff stood out for their friendliness and accommodating attitude, always ready to assist with any requests. The only downside was the bed, which was much too soft for my liking. I found myself sinking into the mattress, which made it difficult to get comfortable and led to a restless night’s sleep. Despite the issue with the bed, I would still recommend Royal Sonesta for its prime location, great service, and clean accommodations. Just be mindful if you prefer a firmer mattress!

Great staff
This was my second stay at the Royal Sonesta. The staff is very friendly and helpful. You absolutely know that customer service is a priority. This time, I stayed in a smaller room as it was a quick business trip. I did notice a difference in sheet quality in the smaller room: not as soft. I suspect lower thread count which for me doesn't make for the best of sleep.

Gem of hotel and service
Royal Sonesta DuPont Cir is a great hotel. I was slightly hesitant about making a reservation because of some of the previous reviews. However my experience was exceptional. Amazing large room, comfortable bed and all the staff I encountered were very welcoming and friendly. I appreciate the security swipe feature for the elevators and front doors later in the evenings. The only minor issue I encountered was the features of the television wouldn’t allow me to stream or access hotel services.

Lovely people - great location. At checkout was told there a $35 destination fee added. Maybe I missed that when I was making reservation but certainly changes the price of my stay.
