The Helix is always my first choice in DC! I have a love affair with the hotel, staff and area! Just the best in boutique hotels and amazingly reasonable rates! I have visited for both business and pleasure and have been able to bring my dogs which is incredibly great for me since I LOVE my dogs!!! The wine hour gives me a great opportunity when I am visiting for work to have people join me and I am always able to feel relaxed when work is done!

As a Kimpton InTouch member, the hotel sent me a birthday offer on a discounted room. I decided to use it for my BF birthday ( a couple of weeks before mine). I made a note on my reservation that I was surprising my BF for his birthday. When we got to the hotel, Ritchie checked us in told my BF Happy Birthday and gave him a voucher for 2 glasses of champagne and a dessert. When we got to the room, they had upgraded it to a huge suite! It was so lovely! There was a huge L shaped couch in the living room. The bathroom was spacious and could be entered via the living room or bedroom. The bedroom could be closed off completely, which was nice because it allowed us to try and keep the cool air inside the room. We had such a great time that I forgot to take pictures of the suite! It is very big, by any citiy's standards.We went down for the Happy Hour (free champagne, wine, and sake). That's always a nice gesture. Ritchie was doling out drinks and gave us some great advice on the sake! When we got back to our room there was a dessert plate with 2 mini red velvet cupcakes, some champagne glasses, and a bottle of champagne! We were both so moved by this! They took notice of when we were out of the room and had a little surprise waiting for us! The location is also ideal, as there is a Whole Foods, CVS, and an array of restaurants in walking distance. This may not be the fanciest hotel I've stayed, but it is definitely the one that I feel the most cared about from the staff. They go above and beyond what you would expect. Their attentiveness is not lost on me! I can't wait to see what it looks like after they start/finish their renovations (starting Nov '13). I hope they never lose their ability to make their guests feel special! Thank you for that!

I have been going to this hotel for years on New Years Eve. The staff and my experience have been nothing short of superb. If you want to surprise your spouse, significant other, or friends definitely book this hotel!! This is truly a boutique hotel with the furniture and layout unique compared to your everyday hotel. The prices are reasonable and the service is EXCELLENT. The staff has accommodated my ever need when I come here annually. It is down the street from Dupont Circle and everywhere else is just a cab ride away. Book your room now!! You will not be disappointed

This hotel has two very good things going for it - its location and its price. The location, halfway between Dupont Circle and Logan Circle, is incredibly close to a host of DC sites and restaurants but it's tucked into a residential street, making it especially endearing. I have stayed in DC dozens of times for various reasons, and I don't think I've stayed in a better situated hotel. Also, it consistently seems to be the cheapest choice in the area. It's not cheap, mind you, but it's cheaper than most of its similarly situated competitors. That being said, don't expect it to be fancy. The decor is shabby chic, but it's more shabby than chic. Sure, it's not going to be to everyone's taste, but it's also a bit run down and rough around the edges. It's clean and a perfectly fine place to stay - who is going to spend much time in their hotel anyway? I'm sure that its worn appearance in places is reflected in its good pricing; I would personally rather see a little wear and tear and stay in a great location for a bargain price than have a perfectly shiny hotel with a price tag to match. Highly recommended based on location and price.

Nice place, good performance during the tropical storm Sandy and the time we had to stay at the hotel because of that storm. Close to the centre of Washington, just a little walk to famous buildings, musea, etc. One thing: my room had only a very little bathroom, although clean.
