Archer Hotel Old Town Alexandria

We were so excited to arrive here, and their special treat for my daughter's 30th birthday was so sweet! Room was lovely, and the staff great. Issues with hot water in bathroom sink that didn't get fixed for 2 days, and continued maintenance in the hotel during out stay made the stay less than perfect. 8 hours with no water at all, and then maintenance noise on multiple days.

This hotel was really cute. It's clean, rooms are spacious, and the beds were super comfortable. Breakfast is not included, but there's a cute breakfast place right downstairs that has delicious breakfast and lunch called Homegrown. The restaurant has good food and drinks, but mainly appetizers. There were not many options for meals but the food was good. Try the lavender gin drink-the bartender is amazing.||They do have a gym that is actually really spacious and functional.||If I may add, it would be wonderful if Netflix was added to the television. The television was just regular channels, so it was difficult to start a movie for example.||This is also a convenient location and you can walk to food and things. The parking is $40 per night but to be fair, almost all hotels in this area are pay to park. ||Overall, my friend and I were happy and will return.

I stayed in the Archer Den room for two nights, and it was a magical time. The staff was pleasant, the room was very comfortable, and I really enjoyed reading and taking in the views from my balcony. The tub was really big and comfortable as well. My only downsides were that the refrigerator was broken in the room, and that the balcony door did not lock, which made me a little uneasy as a female who was traveling alone at the time. However, the staff was great and addressed the refrigerator issue right away, having it replaced while I was out the next day. I did not bring up the balcony lock issue since I thought it was likely a safety feature to prevent guests from being locked out of their room. The hotel itself was beautiful, the staff was inviting and helpful, and I really appreciated the extra touches that they offered for their guests, such as complementary water throughout the day in the lobby, coffee and tea in the mornings, and local sweets and water bottles in the room. I look forward to another stay with Archer hotel in the future.

My stay at the Archer Hotel was beyond amazing. From the moment I arrived, the staff made me feel so welcome. Muhammad helped with my luggage, the valet gentleman (whose name I unfortunately missed) was wonderful, and Sophia went above and beyond to help me extend my stay because I loved it so much. She even made my room switch completely seamless. The team at Homegrown, the breakfast spot next door, is also top-notch—delicious food, amazing service, and staff with such bubbly personalities that they truly made my mornings brighter. This hotel exceeded my expectations in every way. Highly recommend!

Wow! A beautiful gem of a hotel in the perfect location. We were delighted with our warm welcome and loved our room. The bed was comfortable and the room decor was sleek, tasteful, and relaxing. Most of all, we were genuinely impressed with the kind treatment from the front desk, valet attendants, house keeping, and guest services team throughout our extended stay. The team went above and beyond to welcome our young daughter, dog, and to make every moment special. The coffee bar in the morning and fresh water throughout was a nice treat. Highly recommend!

We stayed at the Archer Hotel in Alexandria for a weekend anniversary trip. The hotel is in a great location, easy to walk everywhere. The room was extremely clean, we were so impressed. The staff were very kind and helpful and they even sent a bottle of wine and goodies to our room to help us celebrate our anniversary. If you are visiting Alexandria, I highly recommend the Archer! We can’t wait to come back.

Pros … Very comfy bed and good walking location to Old Towne.||Cons … For the $300+/night price tag, I really expected more. No flat sheet on the bed, steamy bathroom bc of no fan, no info offered by check-on staff except “here’s your room key” at arrival and had to call to get wifi info and find out if they offered morning coffee, a bar of soap, shampoo, and some bare minimum amenities offered in room. ||As a basis of comparison, we stayed at another hotel the night before for a family gathering that was half the price. The check-in staff filled us in on everything we needed to know at arrival, there were some nice amenities like makeup remover wipes, rain head shower, goody bag upon arrival.||Tip .. it cost us less than $25 for two nights to park on the street rather than pay $40/night hotel parking charge and we literally parked across the street from the hotel entrance.

This was our first stay in Old Town Alexandria (as opposed to downtown D.C.) and we absolutely loved it! The hotel was only a short walk from the King St-Old Town Metro stop, which was only three stops on the Yellow Line from Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA). It couldn't have been more convenient. Additionally, after 11am, a free trolley runs down King Street to the wharf with a stop less than a block from the hotel. The hotel itself was lovely and all of the staff, from the greeter at the courtyard entrance to the desk staff to the housekeeping staff, were so friendly and helpful. They were happy to store our luggage when we arrived quite early in the morning. The room was spacious and the bed was so comfortable. The shower was equipped with shampoo, conditioner and body wash. There were several mirrors including a wall-mounted "make-up" mirror. We had breakfast every morning at HomeGrown, the restaurant adjacent to the hotel. The restaurant staff's motto was "Kind is Cool" and they exemplified that. Our favorite breakfast items were the blueberry pancakes, the sweet potato pancakes and the croissant French toast. King Street is lined with shops and restaurants and a very pleasant walk (about 16 blocks) from the wharf. We took a couple of guided walks that originated at the visitor center which was about a 14-block walk. The courtyard at the hotel looked like a cozy place to gather with family and friends, weather permitting. We enjoyed visiting the nearby George Washington Masonic National Memorial (take a tour!) and the Torpedo Factory (a collection of art studios). I would most definitely stay here again!

Huge thanks to Archer Hotel Alexandria (former Lorien Hotel) on King Street. This beloved restaurant / spa / hotel event space rolled out the red carpet for us as we celebrated our engagement. Brabo Tasting Room is now AKB, a hotel bar IN HISTORIC OLD TOWN ALEXANDRIA. We can't recommend enough the hospitality of Ollie and his team. Love Love Love

We enjoyed our recent stay at Archer Hotel. It's a super cute boutique style hotel right in Old Town. It's at the beginning of King st. so keep that in mind when planning your plans in Old Town. They definitely make you feel at home and special. We were celebrating a birthday so they made sure to provide the bday girl with a special robe and slippers! They also made up a cute little gift bag in the room. Very nice touch. The weekend we were there the Akb restaurant had their grand opening. It's located right across the courtyard at the hotel. Really good restaurant and bar! Everything was smooth and enjoyable during our stay. Only issue is parking. The most convenient option is the Valet which is $40 per night. They also had an elevator down, slight inconvenience, but nothing major. We will definitely be back for another weekend trip!

Stayed here for a long weekend in Old Town and have to say I will be staying here again when I make my way back. Everything was enjoyable. It's more of a boutiquey hotel feel which I enjoyed; nice room, clean is what I look for. Only drawback was getting bread and coffee in the morning; service was very slow and it wasn't even that busy.

Great service, rooms are comfy and clean. Would be much better if the televisions were smart tv and I'm not stuck watching cable tv. Also, very stingy with daily water.
