I’d like to say I definitely enjoyed my stay here. The staff were amazing! They helped me out big time with questions I’d had. They were able to accommodate me easily. I appreciate the stay and will definitely come back whenever I find myself in D.C again.

10/10, would return
Had a great time at Hotel Nell. We were spending our time elsewhere during the day, so I can’t speak for the bar or restaurant, but the hotel stay was great. My only very minor issue was that I felt like I was showering the dark, but that was more an unreasonable expectation on my part that wasn’t met. We traveled with our dog, and that went well too. Would definitely return.

A stylish shoebox
Stylish and inexpensive in a neighborhood with striking income inequality and gentrification, and not as easily accessible via the Metro as it may appear based on the map (I am a former DC resident and generally very familiar walking all over large cities). More notable though was that although it was inexpensive, the room was among the smallest I've ever been in and just much smaller than was worth the price.
