    Didn't care for the flavor of your coffee.

    Location was perfect for walking to the monuments and museums. The bed was like sleeping on a cloud. Liked having bottled water and slippers in my room.

    The breakfast from the Peacock was not great , took forever to be served and then the food came out almost cold . But the Hot chocolate drink was lovely .

    The ease to get around with Uber . It’s best to just leave your car in the valet parking and go around DC in an Uber .

    As always it would be nice if it cost a little less... but it's amazing. So it costs money, and we pay money for it.

    This was perhaps the nicest hotel I have ever stayed in. I am wracking my brains for one I have considered as beautiful and impressive as this hotel and I cannot. The ceilings are 4m high, the rooms are large, the bathrooms have chandeliers, everyone was kind and professional... The two restaurants are amazing. The location is superb....

    Sorry nothing I can add here...

    When you book to stay at a luxury hotel the Waldorf in DC is what you expect. The facade, the lobby, the rooms... All best in class. Great room size with excellent furnishings. There isn't a single compliant I can register. In the heart of DC no better place to stay.

    "The WA delights with stellar hospitality and a prime location, though German guests may notice a mild discrepancy

    While I found my stay at the Waldorf Astoria to be the best in comparison to other US accommodations, I noticed a cultural difference in cleanliness standards that may be noteworthy for fellow German travelers. Although the hotel was tidy by American standards, there were minor details that did not quite meet the meticulous cleanliness we are accustomed to in Germany. However, it's essential to appreciate the varying standards globally and acknowledge the exceptional service provided by the hotel within its cultural context. I still wholeheartedly recommend the Waldorf Astoria for providing the best experience possible within their means.

    My stay at the Waldorf Astoria was simply delightful. From the moment I stepped into the elegant lobby, I was treated with utmost hospitality. The room exuded a cozy and luxurious ambiance, ensuring a restful night's sleep after a day of travel. Furthermore, the hotel's central location provided easy access to local attractions and dining options, making my trip effortlessly enjoyable. I was particularly impressed with the attentive staff, who went above and beyond to cater to my needs and ensure a seamless experience. I would highly recommend the Waldorf Astoria to any traveler seeking a blend of comfort and convenience.

    They should have a good breakfast restaurant, instead of being scattered tables in the lobby.

    Fabulous service, beautiful historic hotel, AND Bazaar Meat restaurant. Where do I sign?

    Excellent service and accommodations will cost a pretty penny. The downstairs bar lounge is categorically slow and unresponsive EVERY time we have been there. (5+ stays now). We keep trying, and they keep disappointing (when busy and not busy). The historic lobby, "chill factor, and aesthetic are just stunning so we keep giving it a try if Bazaar is booked up. FYI, the bar in the lobby has NOTHING to do at all with Bazaar restaurant upstairs.

    Perfect location. Responsive staff and friendliest front door staff! Save a cash tip for them, but they are amazing even if you forgot your cash. The Bazaar DC restaurant upstairs is amazing! Get a reservation, AND KEEP IT. You will thank me later.
