Well updated historical hotel. Friendly, knowledgeable staff. Great neighborhood location. Brewpub in basement of building with good food and drinks with a discount for hotel guests. I would stay here again
The staff were very friendly and nice. The hotel room was clean and very comfortable. It’s in a great location to try out restaurants or sightseeing downtown. Parking is struggling during the week due to 2 hr parking regulation (READ THE SIGNS AND PAY). Will definitely book again.

The hotel was old but quirky! The staff was very nice and helpful and the room, while dated, was very clean. The location felt very safe and it was close to a metro stop. We would stay here again. It was a great value considering the insanely expensive alternatives in the D.C. area!
Had a great stay. Room was small but clean, seemed recently renovated. Nice bathroom, nice "comfy" bed, good cable channels. Very nice, quiet and safe neighborhood. Metro nearby. Helpful staff, especially Sunny, very nice girl with a "bubbly" personality. No major complaints. Only stayed 5 nights out of 7 on my reservation due to an emergency back home. Would hope that Expedia would give me a credit for those 2 nights I had to cancel (very much doubt it).

Our room was good and clean, but the building could be much better if goes through a renovation of walls and carpet.
It is a nice clean hotel suitable for short stays. The staff was friendly and helpful. It has access to public transportation. There is a comedy club located at the same property with the same entrance below the guest rooms. It makes it very noisy. There is a microwave, coffee and water located in the lobby. I miss having a refrigerator and microwave in the room. I advise you to bring earplugs.
Located in a great area. Plenty of places to get food and shop.

Clean room nice staff the beds are old and mattress is uncomfortable pillows were hard as a rock. Not many amenities but works out ok if you can manage for a few nights. Good location to Georgetown
Don’t book this hotel if you are expecting a traditional hotel experience. This place was perfect for our trip due to its proximity to everything we wanted to do while in DC. Great comfortable place to sleep, don’t let the elevator scare you, it’s jank and adds to the charm of the building. If we are ever back in the DC area we will definitely be coming back to the baron!! Also there is only street parking but there is a parking garage only a 10ish minute walk.
Excellent location and unique room. Beds surprisingly comfortable. If you are looking for a cheap place in a great location to explore the whole city that’s close to morning coffee, the metro, and a convenient store for all of your needs I recommend this place. Felt safe the whole stay!
Great location at an older hotel. The staff could not have been nicer. Had some challenges with the room that were resolved on day two. Would definitely stay there again.
A historic building with great price.
Be aware that there is no ramp to take your luggage. You will have to physically carry your bag up stairs to the entrance of the hotel door. The inside elevator is historic - small. The housekeeping staff, Roger are amazing and helpful. The hotel location is great and close to Georgetown, DuPont Circle, embassies, metro train and bus, and great restaurants. I recommend!!!
couldn’t have picked a better hotel. it’s in a great location, less than a 10 minute walk to the metro station. staff were friendly and welcoming! couldn’t have asked for anything better.
The hotel is connected to a comedy club so loud and crowded late into the night. Rug had stains and was dirty - bathroom was clean. No amenities except coffee urn and water with infused lemon. Great location. Not worth the price.

Room is small but fare. Nice bathroom, old furniture in room. Good location, fare price
Stayed here for the great price and was satisfied with what I got. It’s not a modern hotel by any means but the bed was comfortable, the shower worked well, and the air conditioner did its job. That’s about all that matters to me.
I had a wonderful stay at The Baron Hotel! The location is fantastic and very convenient for getting around D.C. My room was clean and the air conditioning worked perfectly, which made for a very comfortable night's sleep. The staff were friendly and helpful...
