What guests think

Hotel Hive draws strong praise for its friendly staff, clean micro-rooms, and a walkable location near GWU, the Metro, and major sights, with the rooftop bar and on-site pizza often highlighted as convenient, enjoyable perks.

Rooms are compact with minimal storage, and several reviews warn that basement or "Buzz" rooms near the bar can be noisy. Some guests reported limited or pricey breakfast and occasional hot water, HVAC, or elevator issues, and parking discounts or instructions caused confusion. Overall, expect a clean, sociable micro-hotel ideal for short, walkable stays.

Very upscale while staying true to its minimalist idea. Best in class customer service from the front desk concierge to the bartender. Bed was not that comfortable, could have gone with a better manufacturer like Winkbed, Leesa, or Saatva. Parking needs to be better explained at check-in with regards to discount ticket - how to use, daily returns to garage, etc. Suggest a handout be created with clear instructions.

The property was in a great part of Washington..Only a short 5 minute walk to the Foggy Bottom Metro , from where you could go anywhere in the city very cheaply. Just $2 to reach the Capitol Building , White House and all the museums and memorials... Only $6 to go from there to Dulles Airport. You can walk to the Lincoln Memorial in 10-15 mins and then it is a short walk from there to the other monuments. The staff were friendly and helpful and it has a great rooftop bar. They also do pizzas on site and a small selection of waffles and breakfast buns for breakfast. The only issue i have is that there are no tea/coffee making facilities in the room , although they do have it in the downstairs bar in the morning until 10.30 which is free.

This was a great hotel! It was very clean and was definitely new but didn’t have the “hospital new clean” feel to it. It felt very homey. The pizza place was beyond good. We had late night pizza and dessert multiple times. The rooftop bar had great vibes and great drinks. The front desk staff was always friendly when we arrived and left the hotel. I would definitely stay here next time I’m in DC. It is also close to the metro and the parking deck!

The bed was very comfortable—however, there was a very mildew-y smell in the whole room that detracted from the experience. At first I thought it was because I was on the lower floor but I didn’t notice it in the hallway, just in my room. Also, I didn’t mind the room and bathroom being small but there was no way to shower with the bathroom door open, which made that room stay a little damp.

The staff here were very friendly and helpful. The bed has some black dirt from AC repairs, but the bedding was replaced upon our request. The elevator is incredibly small and the halls are very narrow. This is a microtel and although it was incredibly cute, it was super inconvenient for my fiance and I. Plus, we were on the wrong side of town for our stay. The hotel did refund us for the nights we opted not to stay. The front desk staff was very quick to help us resolve our issues.

Great warm welcome from the reception staff upon arrival. Hotel is well located and parking is just across the street with a discount. Room was small but sufficient, only problem is we had some issues with bugs in the room (from my experience it's the ones in the drains). We came back into the room and they were on the bed and I'm our luggage (just one each time).

My daughter and I chose the Hive for a brief stay. I saw the room advertised as simple and clean. That was all we needed for our one night. I did not understand that the Hive has rooms that are quiet and rooms that are closer to the bar and restaurant, making them not quiet. We had unfortunately chosen a room that was “lively”. I always bring ear plugs but the screaming, laughing, and dragging chairs across the floor was difficult to block. We were pretty tired the

We were first placed in a "buzz" room which is a code name to a basement room. After complaining we were moved to a second floor room. The room was very tiny. Not much bigger than a queen size bed. There was no place for the luggage and the only storage room was under the bed. It was so small that they had to place the sink inside the room under the TV.

At first I thought it might be small, but who spends all their time on vacation in their room? Perfect space. Super clean. great bed. A huge thank you to Front desk help: Roberto, Brooke, and James, for answering all my questions and guiding me to great restaurants. They all took their time to ask how you were doing, what your plans were, etc. Thank you to Shawnee, head of housekeeping, for helping me to my room and showing how to use the the remote shades, and also just greeting me each day with a huge smile and taking a minute to chat. Lastly, thank you to Ricardo (Rich or Richard), for bringing me countless buckets of ice and a refrigerator. Always smiling. The Hive has great staff! I also had the best room, 401, with SIX windows!
