The room is clean and the bed comfortable. This is the second time we've stayed here, and we'll probably stay again. This time we were placed in a smaller space that overlooks the highway. It is VERY noisy and drafty through the windows. You'll hear police, firetrucks, honking, loud music, loud exhausts, horns honking, trains blowing horns, even the occasional pedestrian conversation. Try to get a room in the back of the hotel. Also a couple amenities could make life easier here: a surface in the bathroom to put a hairdryer on (instead of putting it in the wet bowl of the sink), a half in the shower, better water pressure (1.5 gallon per minute?). More parking options and explanations. More towels. everyone is so nice though, and the price is reasonable for the neighborhood. See you next year probably!

Second time staying at Hotel Nell and definitely not the last. Great little boutique hotel with the best staff. Easy parking right in front of hotel if available. If not, parking directly behind the hotel not even 50 yards. Due to its smaller size it is so easy to get an elevator, and to your room. The breakfast in the lobby (not complimentary) was absolutely delicious and worth every penny. Super easy to catch an uber or Lyft. Close to restaurants. My go to for DC stays.

The creative decor of this place makes it feel more like visiting an old friend. The seating areas in the lobby and scattered throughout the former seed company make it feel so cozy! The staff is friendly and attentive. You could sense their enthusiasm for working there!
It’s so cool that their decor is reminiscent of and a tribute to the building’s former purpose.
Each shelf shows plants taking root in glass jars with water.

I really enjoyed the king-size room. It was spacious and very clean. I love the atmosphere of this hotel, and the staff was great. Safe area of DC with great places to eat and shop. Quick walk to the Metro. I only wish they had a fitness facility.

The room was clean and cozy. Our room was very small compared to what the picture showed, but I think that is sometimes what you get when booking so last minute and with a unique hotel. Would definitely stay here again. I did wish they had a fitness area.

Unfortunately due to a snow storm, we were not able to make it to the hotel. The hotel was gracious enough to refund half of our stay even though the booking was non refundable. We really appreciated that. We stayed at Hotel Nell last year and loved it. Its very charming and the staff was great. We loved our room, the onsite restaurant and the location. Highly recommend and definitely plan to stay the next time we are in DC.
