Bar service was a bit hit and miss even if you just wanted a coffee.

Great location. Very helpful staff.

Everything was excellent.

The room was very clean and tidy, the breakfast was very good especially the french toast. My family and I enjoyed our stay and will definitely return.

We did request water at one point and had to remind the front desk that it hadn't come.

Location was just around the corner from the show we were seeing. The valet and front desk staff were extremely helpful.

The hotel does not have free breakfast. Restaurant of the hotel is not cheap.

Very clean. Good Location.

The breakfast leaves a lot to be desired. We ended up buying our breakfast elsewhere and bringing it to our room.

The room was very good and the housekeeping - excellent. The fron desk people are great.

The beds weren’t the comfiest, but we weren’t coming to DC to sleep in bed all day so it was ok. The AC didn’t seem to want to cool as well as you’d like, but we were 9th floor so maybe that’s why.

It’s in a perfect spot, close to a lot of museums and memorials. We were able to walk to everything we wanted to. You are definitely paying for the location. The design of the rooms and the hotel itself was fun, and definitely urban.

Light from bathroom entered whole room space so woke my daughter when I had to be up. No hot water kettle for real tea...no black tea available in the restaurant. The room machine tea is horrid. There were issues with the hot water- only a trickle at the sink and one night none at all from 11pm. This was ok, but added to other things, not. ***Misleading pricing...the daily extra $26 amenities fee for things we didn’t or couldn't use. (Perhaps if the poll and rooftop lounge were open, there would have been some validity.) The room price surely should have included the toiletries and other niceties in the room Beds not very firm, felt well used. I usually am very positive and give high rates. This hotel looked so exciting but the excessive pricing was very disappointing and hard to swallow.

Location, great service. Kind friendly staff. Lovely room. Super art and a climate responsible/feminist vibe. Food was good but still, $65 for a good breakfast felt exorbitant.

Mattress was too firm...uncomfortable.

Great interior design...Very accomodating service staff...loved the unique shower.

The lobby was a smaller space, but we didn’t need to spend much time there anyways so it was fine for us!

The location was perfect and close to everywhere we needed to go for the weekend. The National Mall was easily accessible via bikes or scooters! Loved the later check out time and that really helped on our last day of the trip.

I loved it.

It was nice. The toilet was very loud and we could hear when the people in room above us flushed their toilet too.

We couldn’t figure out how to leave the headboard LED lights on & turn off the night stand lights, lol. That’s all!

My husband and I are very much diverse when it comes to visiting different cities. Staying at Hotel Zena gave us just that; from the art work to FigLeaf bar & lounge(located in main lobby), to the location. This location is near many brunch and night lounge places.

Excellent hotel, great location, beautiful room and friendly staff. I totally recommend it!

Traveled with my mother, my husband, and three children in two rooms. This hotel was very supportive of my family vacation. There is a pool table and huge "lite-brite" wall which was so much fun for the kids in the lobby. I loved all of the femenist artwork. The best part of the experience was the generosity and attentiveness of the staff. I cannot overstate how pleasant and kind everyone was, particularly the valet team. I don't think I've ever felt so "at home" in a hotel before. DC is an exhausting family vacation, and Zena was a perfect spot to rest and recharge. Can't wait to come back!

I had to follow up one day for housekeeping to come to my room, but that was resolved immediately after I requested service.

This room is spectacular and spacious. I loved all of the modern and subtle femenist touches. The staff is extremely attentive and kind. You can't beat the location just blocks away from anything you might want to see in DC-right around the corner from the Planet Word museum. My family and I had a great visit.

The breakfast is not a buffet but an à la carte choice that is actually more expensive than the advertised price of $21…

Comfortable and well placed hotel (next to a subway station with SV line direct to Dulles airport). Available and attentive staff.

Only complaint was the room would not get cooler than 73 degrees even when we had it set to 65. We like sleeping in cooler rooms, but the room was spotless and beautiful.

The gentleman valet from Ethiopia was maybe the best valet I've ever met. So humble and kind. Always smiling and a joy to speak to. I'll remember him for years. Perfect location with loads to do. If you dont mind walking it's super easy to navigate around the circles to go to amazing eateries.

I loved the amenities and the breakfast was immaculate!

The hotel is so chic, trendy and artsy - definitely decorated with women and women’s empowerment in mind. The Zena Circle View King Suite was great and has 1.5 restrooms. The special care and attention to detail from ALL the staff was 👌🏾 - it was my birthday weekend and I was greeted with chocolate covered strawberries, a bottle of Merlot and a handwritten note!! Love the hotel, love the Brunch at Figleaf, loved the staff and will definitely return the next time I’m spending a weekend in DC - highly recommend.
