While the front patio and entrance look a bit worn out and not maintained, don’t let that discourage you. Once off the elevators, the hallways and rooms are beautifully decorated. The Delux king room and bath were luxurious and very clean.

Great location and helpful staff. Good room lay out and prompt room service. And less expensive than similarly situated DC hotels.
Verified review

8/10 Very good

I would give this hotel a higher overall rating as the room was good, staff was great and the location was also very nice but for being such a nice hotel the gym was awful. Broken equipment, dirty, no towels and no radio or TV while working out. Did I mention it was dirty (dusty). The equipment is dated and its in the basement which makes it feel worse. The hotel should be ashamed of itself. It needs a complete rehaul as it will definitely make me reconsider if I stay here for a quick night or more than 1 night in which I will need a decent to average gym. It's an easy fix. Hopefully they get it right.

10/10 Exceptional

The Sofitel Washington DC Lafayette Square is an elegant and well-located hotel that delivers a distinctly upscale experience. It has an excellent location near the White House, stylish French-inspired décor, cleanliness and friendly, attentive staff. Rooms are comfortable and well appointed, with the hotel offering a calm and sophisticated atmosphere in the heart of Washington. The only challenge I had was not being able to chromecast via my iPhone. Overall: A very good choice for a stylish city stay, particularly if location and atmosphere are important to you. It feels more refined and boutique-like than many large Washington hotels, although expectations should be tempered slightly if you’re looking for flawless five-star service.
