We researched extensively on hotels in DC. Notwithstanding some negative reviews about the condition of this hotel, we decided to book it based on the price and location. I am glad we chose this hotel! We loved it! This hotel is no doubt old but that only adds to the charm of a historical city like DC. As long as... More

I stayed at the Hotel Harrington 13th-17th February 2012, as part of a school trip with 16 teenagers. For that, this hotel was in an amazing location, clean and comfortable. If, however I was going on holiday here or was chosing here of my own free will, I am not sure I would have actually stayed the night and would... More

I'll say it upfront - this hotel is not flash. But it was perfect for what we needed. We flew in from Australia and, after around 26 hours of flights and rushing to and from and through airports, we checked into the Hotel Harrington. The front desk staff were efficient and helpful, the room we had was fine (a fairly... More

This was defianatly the worst hotel experience i have ever had. The service was useless! A broken fridge filled with rotting food from the week before remained in the room throughout the four nights. The room cleaner was extremly lazy and refused to replace our towls or even dress our beds. She did however happen to help herself to the... More

We have stayed at the Harrington Hotel two times. The latest being this past October. We love the location. You are half a block from Pennsylvania Ave. and just two blocks from the White House. The hotel itself is old, but that adds to the historic nature of being in DC. The rooms are clean, don't look too close at... More

The Harrington Hotel opened on March 1, 1914 making it the nation’s oldest continuously operating hotel. Just a half block from Pennsylvania Avenue and two blocks from the White House, the Harrington is within walking distance to many D.C. attractions and the Metro. While not in the luxury class of other D.C. hotels, the Harrington is clean, tidy and has... More

The hotel may be nothing spectacular, but what it lacks in charm is made up for by location and staff. Yes, it is older, but the rooms are clean and it is very safe. Many students, but also a lot of foreign tourists wisely saving their money on hotel rooms so they can enjoy all the DC nightlife! More

Given the decor (think '70s drab), you expect the local police and coroner to be regulars at the Harrington Hotel. I'm pretty sure I've seen my hotel room on reruns of CSI featuring a strangled prostitute. But that's just the decor. The hotel staff are exceedingly pleasant. When I stayed last fall, most of the guests appeared to be high... More

This hotel is nothing fancy, but the rooms have everything you need. They are safe, have a dresser, bed, television, and complimentary wireless internet. The bathroom amenities are minimal, but you're no more than five minutes' walk from a CVS. The desk staff were so kind as to store a particularly valuable item at the front desk while I went... More
