Convenient location.

Elevator needs both hands to operate, so that's kind of difficult to use. Other than that, it's a great day.

Room was moderately clean but had a few dirty spots, staff were friendly, entering the hotel and accessing the room is difficult because the main area is a night club/bar, and the air conditioning was an in-wall unit that made me feel too hot and too cold at the same time. Shops nearby are great but since it's DC it's overpriced.

This is definitely a budget hotel. Old hotel or apartments converted. Great location. Over the old Brickskeller beer institution. Easy to walk to buses on MA and PA avenues, short walk from Dupont Circle. Clean. Front desk staff. On the downside, only one plug in my room worked and the lobby has a bit of an \"institutional disinfectant\" smell. But, perfectly acceptable place for a non-profit or low budget traveler.

The first night we stayed there the bed was horrible. It felt like it was broken in the middle. The next morning we asked for another room. Which they gladly moved us to. That room was much better and it was on the 3rd floor which was better than the 2nd floor where you could hear the noise from the comedy club downstairs. The location was good.

Great location with ample sights and restaurants near by. Simple, cozy accommodations. An older facility with charm so do not expect the most posh experience. Rooms are on the small side and they aren’t the quietest especially Friday or Saturday when there is an event in the comedy club. But it’s a safe and affordable place to be when all you need is a clean bed and a bath for touring D.C.

Bed bug infestation. Found immediately upon arrival. I showed video evidence to the staff and they offered a 25% refund— we didn’t even spend 5 minutes here, let alone a night.

Absolutely disgusting. Avoid staying here at all costs. Will be reporting to the health authorities. Based on other reviews and guests staying there at the same time, this is clearly not a one-off. They should be closed down

I was a little worried after reading the reviews but! We loved the place! We had clean rooms, good sized bathroom, bunch mirrors for me and mom do our makeup without sharing one bathroom mirror. We were at the 4th floor and didn’t hear any noises. Also the hotel is located in a very quiet peaceful neighborhood and is 30 minutes walk to Washington Memorial and 10-15 minutes walk across the bridge to a nice shopping area. And 8 minutes walk from my favorite bakery Tatte.

This is a good option for people looking to stay in downtown DC on a budget at a decent room rate, in a Dupont Circle location that is convenient and very metro-accessible (right near bus routes, too). It is pretty basic as accommodations go, akin to a student hostel, and the rooms have a bit of wear and tear but are in decent condition. Noise filters in easily, especially if there's an event going on in the space below, and there won't be any microwave, fridge, or storage options. Staff are courteous and friendly. The downstairs bar has good food and drink options, and you are also steps away from Dupont Circle restaurants, night life, and attractions.

Stayed here for 2 nights and it was fine. Rooms are basic but clean, staff do everything they can with what they have, and the location is great. The comedy club in the basement is fun. Then, daughter got sick and I had to cancel. I figured I'd be charged for that night, but not the second night, because that's what every other Expedia hotel has done on these trips. (I'm commuting to DC for work for 5 months, and I'm in the city W-F.) I called 3 times and messaged the hotel but never heard back. They charged me for both nights. I do not recommend staying here.

We found the shower good and hot, the AC and heater were excellent, and the staff were friendly and helpful. We were there over a weekend and it was peaceful and quiet.

At the time of my hotel reservation, I’ve read reviews about Baron Hotel and I agree that the hotel is in a good area and it’s a vintage hotel, the bathroom of room 316 was not comfortable as the sink and the toilet tank were so close to each other and each time I had to go side ways I order to jump in the shower. I’ve learned there are several hotels near Baron hotel. Such as Residence Inn by Marriott.

You Get What You Pay For

The property is dated, but my room was clean and well-kept. For one person, the space was appropriate but may be too small for two or more people -- I booked a double.

The room still left a lot to be desired -- no refrigerator, no closet, no working wifi. Because I had to work remotely during this trip, I depended on having wifi. I had to spend most of my trip at the local library to get anything done. I noted this issue to staff, hoping they may pursue a solution, but they just told me to keep trying. During my two-night stay, I was not able to successfully connect to the internet using their wifi service.

If you decide to book here, also keep in mind that my room did not have a closet or a refrigerator. They have drawers to store folded clothes, but this isn't ideal for those who will be wearing formal attire that doesn't go well folded (like me). Don't plan on bringing any food to your room either -- no fridge. Moreover, the hotel only provides ice when their bar is open, but it was not open during my stay. I couldn't even have cold water.

Only stay here if you are low on money, but I personally think paying extra would have been worth the trouble.

The Baron hotel smacks of old world charm, like a Parisian hotel with a curious layout, and relatively small rooms which maintained much of their original character, and were immaculately kept by our maids. (Be sure to leave them a tip!). The halls were lined with antiques and many photos of famous Americans with descriptions that could serve as a History 101 course. This was one of the best things about our stay in DC, and should we return for a visit when the city is NOT UNDER SIEGE, this is the hotel we will choose. PS-There is no nearby parking, so expect to rely on Uber or Lyft during your stay.
