I stayed one night at The Poppy and I’ll definitely be back! Nico sent a detailed text with how to check in and get to my room. The room was huge, bed comfortable, every amenity you could ask for. The sound machine was an added bonus. It’s in a super cute area of Georgetown with a market across the street. I loved being able to come and go as I please without having to deal with elevators and checking in etc. I didn’t have my family with me this time but I would definitely bring them here.

Really enjoyed my stay. Its warm, comfortable, laid back, and well situated to enjoy Georgetown and the nearby attractions. Would definitely stay again. I upgraded to a king with the big tun (#9). Plenty of space and lovely views of the trees and garden. Staff are friendly and welcoming. They really do make you feel like a guest in their home.

We only had a one night stay, rented the king room with the tub. Overall the concept of the hotel is cool, the self-serve is a nice system for getting in and out, grabbing a drink from the main area, etc. Dog-friendly hotel and there arent many of those out there. I did almost rate it a 3, however. Call it a 3.5 rounded up. The good: comfortable and spaceous bed, clean bathroom with a fantastic tub and a nice shower. Location is great - lots of attractions and restaurants in walking distance and a convenience store right across the road. The bad: the room itself has some serious wear. Marks on the carpet, walls, couch. The outside semi-private patio was not really in a usable condition, so the room was very much a sleep/shower and go on our way situation. Our "neighbors" upstairs were smoking weed all night as soon as the staff left for the day (I guess thats the negative of the self-serve situation). At first you could only smell it in the hallway, but we started smelling it in our room when we went to bed.

The poppy is a very nice little bed and breakfast style hotel in a quiet section of Georgetown. The building and grounds are clean, cute, and very well maintained. The lounge/kitchen area is well stocked and a nice convenience as well.||However, we didn’t give it a 5 rating because there were a few small things that impacted an experience. First of all, there’s no staff around for most of the day. If you have questions or need assistance, there’s often no one around to help. Second, a small thing, but each room is opened by a code they set for you. That is the only lock and no additional locking mechanism is available on the inside. The location is generally safe and we didn’t feel like we were at huge risk, but if you’re accustomed to a secondary lock for when you’re in the room at night this could be unnerving.||The final issue for us, which is not really the poppy’s fault, is that there was a wedding party taking up many of the rooms when we stayed there and they were not good neighbors. They would basically take over the kitchen eating are and act out out if you wanted to go in to make breakfast or grab a coffee. If there was more staff around they could have managed better, but this is not on the poppy.||Overall very nice, just not amazing

I took my mom to a long weekend to Washington DC with the goal of cherry blossoms relaxation, learning, and family bonding. We had a wonderful stay at the Poppy Georgetown. The hosts were welcoming and accommodating, breakfast buffet was simple and much of my liking with its European style coffee machine and pleasant ambiance. The gardens in the back of the hotel provide for privacy and the hotel location makes for a pleasant walk to the best ice-cream place in DC(Thomas Sweet) and for a short stroll to Georgetown harbor. Nico gave us recommendations for restaurants in the area and we had a wonderful time at one of them on our last night in Georgetown, DC. I do want to go back and will definitely stay again at The Poppy Georgetown when I do.

My family, my parents and my brother's family all stayed at The Poppy over Memorial Day weekend and we had the best time. Our rooms were perfect for our needs and we loved the private patio off of my parents room. Breakfast was such a win each morning for kids and adults alike. We will definitely stay there again, highly recommend for families and groups!

Loved the intimate feel of a guesthouse rather than a large hotel. Common room with snacks was fun, and garden space an extra. Loved the neighborhood. The room itself didn’t have traditional dresser space, which was a bit inconvenient or sufficient lighting, but had lovely windows and view. Would stay here again.

We liked it, but it does have room for improvement. Great location in Georgetown. The bed and linens were comfortable, and the bathroom was good. Service was just okay. We had trouble getting into the building, and had to ring the bell a couple of times. We also left our luggage with them for the day after we checked out, and they just left it out in the open. When we asked if they needed to tag them or take our name, they said 'no.' So anyone could've taken our luggage or claimed it was theirs with no proof. Not super comfortable with the security. Then when we came back for our luggage, we almost missed the window where the door was still accessible with our code. No one would answer the phone line. So if we were just one minute later, we might've missed our flight. Breakfast has room for improvement. It's just the basics, all continental style. They don't make food fresh here. The restaurants next door were excellent though.

For Labor Day weekend, my family of three stayed at The Poppy and experienced a beautiful side of Georgetown. Blocks north of M Street NW, The Poppy is in the center of what was once the historically Black part of the neighborhood. Today, it's steeped in history and plenty to learn, experience, and enjoy. Here's our experience at The Poppy. 1) Check-In: We were able to check in easily online and given personalized codes to each door we needed from the courtyard to our room. Once we arrived, Nico (the manager) greeted us warmly. Checkout was just as easy, settling any outstanding items online. You can even leave a tip for the cleaning staff online via a QR code in your room. 2) Room: We stayed in the king-sized room with a large tub. It's a little outdated (some of the wallpaper was coming off), but comfortable. The couch turned into a bed for our seven-year-old daughter. It came with bathroom amenities, extra blankets, a TV, etc. 3) Space: There's a small lobby with tables, a coffee machine, snacks like peanut M&Ms, bottled water, etc. The outdoor courtyards come with a firepit and games that our daughter enjoyed. 4) Amenities: In addition to the games, they also have a closet of extra things in case you forgot them like bug spray, toiletries, etc. The Wi-Fi is strong throughout. It's a dog-friendly property and they even have a water bowl and dog treats. 5) Neighborhood: It's very walkable and street parking is easy to find. Rose Park is next door with a trail, dog park, a playground, tennis courts, and more. Apero is a wine bar next door worth visiting. You can easily walk to M Street NW full of restaurants and shops or head north to Monrose Park and Dumbarton Oaks Park.

We just returned from 4 days in DC. The poppy is more like a bed a breakfast. We had a queen room I think it was #3. The room is super small like 12 x 12. The first morning there was a kid screaming at 7:30am and since all the guest share a house it's like he was in our room. After we mentioned it to the staff we didn't hear him again. It's in a great neighborhood with tons of great places to eat and shop. Rooms need a little love but it does have a great vibe about it.

I don't say this often because it sounds corny/cliche but this was truly a magical experience. You don't expect this from the unassuming exterior what the interior and the garden will look like. But it was stunning. I booked a room here a few months ago as part of my anniversary gift for my wife. I worked with nico (the general manager) and he couldn't have been more accommodating throughout the process. From the moment I walked in the door and until I checked out, he was a pleasure to interact with. The room was beautiful and the little touches nico made took our experience to another level. I look forward to our next stay.

We had the pleasure of staying here this past weekend. It was a cute surprising find by a friend and I'm thrilled this is where our group ended up. The rooms are beautiful and the beds were incredibly comfortable. The breakfast was nice and had good hours. The WiFi was fast, and there were complementary drinks, water, etc which was great. The outside area is beautiful though it was a bit chilly for us to use on this trip. The gentlemen who run it were so helpful and friendly, and the keypad access to the building and rooms was a nice touch that helped us feel more safe when we stayed there. I was surprised at the complete absence of street noise which made for two great nights of sleep. Would highly recommend to anyone.

What a cute little hotel in the heart of Georgetown. My wife & I decided to take a quick getaway to DC during the long Election day weekend. I didn't want to stay at a massive hotel, I wanted something charming and The Avery was the right choice. I'm reading online there are rooms with hot tubs?! Dang! I have a room on the first floor with a fake ass fireplace. It did have a lightbulb to give off that warm glow. I do have to admit this was a nice size room with a large bathroom. Check in was easy breezy. When you walk up the steps, your faced with the front desk. We were given a key and was told there is a wine cocktail hour then continental breakfast in the morning. Parking is an issue, $50 per day? Avery, what the hell?! There are meters on the street where you can quick park for an hour or two. We showered, jumped in my car and went to dinner. Afterwards, I found parking for about $20 bucks a few blocks away. When we came back to the hotel and finally went to sleep, it wasn't as noisy as a past reviewer wrote. However, I did hear the front door close once or twice. If your a lite sleeper, its something to consider. Waking up and finding my favorite bath products, the shower was well stocked with L'Occitane. Very nice The Avery, classy touch. We were offered coffee and some outrageous looking muffins and pastries. My only gripe? The bathroom floor needed to be mopped, it didn't look clean as I noticed a few spots. A quick mop would have been nice. I cleaned the floor with a wet towel. I picked up my car at the lot, quickly parked out front, grabbed my wife and zoomed away like a boss.

The Avery is an incredible intermingling of historic and modern aesthetics. And it is now the standard by which I judge every hotel. Everything was incredible, fully top notch. The linens and the mattress were sublime. I want to order my next mattress direct from The Avery! The staff are really personable and attentive, going above and beyond to help guests. The staff took time to help me choose directions to an attraction. I stepped outside, lingered stationary with my map for a bit and the staff person walked outside to check on me and answer further questions to help me get to my destination. The neighborhood is lovely and a bit more quiet than the neighborhood of most larger hotels. However, you are still in a walkable neighborhood with quick access to cabs and public transportation. I felt very relaxed and at home at The Avery. Should I ever come back to DC I wouldn't stay anywhere else.

Fantastic boutique hotel on one of the only quiet streets in Georgetown. Close to everything but far enough away for a good night sleep. Loved our room, and the walk out patio lounge area that is comfy and private. Parking is $50 per night w in and out privileges. Nicely updated rooms and bathrooms. I don't know the cost, as husband booked and paid for my birthday vacation trip. Only staying one night. The little things: in room thermostat with constant fan option. Long towels that cover more than average. Comfy bed w extra pillows. L'Occitaine toiletries. We stayed in downstairs room. All was quiet. I'm guessing there was no one in the room above. Would stay again.

The room I was given at check in had dirty sheets, wet towels on the bathroom floor, and a milk ring on the coffee table. When we asked for a different room, we were told there weren't any even though it said there were available rooms online. We were pressured to stay even though no one on the cleaning staff was there. No offer was made to arrange alternate accommodations.

This place is so cute, so welcoming !!! Beds feel like Hilton bed so comfortable. Only downfall-- make sure you get an upstairs / back room so you can't hear people . (Can hear people walking & having sex ) Offer free wine/beer from 5-7pm Has a great breakfast selection .

READ ME! This adorable place will be a nightmare if you are not on the top floor. Because it's basically a house that was converted into a little inn, you will... and I mean WILL HEAR the people above you stomping around and throwing things around. I sacrificed a large room with a fireplace for a tiny room on the top floor just to avoid constant panic. I live in NYC so I get enough of that bs every single day. No thanks for vacation.

This is a great little hotel that is just a short walk from the heart of Georgetown. We stayed in room #23, which is a spacious suite with a 4K HD TV, giant bathtub, and king sized bed. The room also has a walk-out patio to your own private yard. We loved the complimentary soft drinks in the fridge, the L'Occitane bath products and the Bluetooth speaker in the shower. The staff was very friendly and helpful with our bags. Will definitely be back to this place!

Super cute place! Great service, friendly staff, very clean. Best word to describe The Avery is charming! O love the decor and location! Quiet area but walking distance to action. Sandy and John were incredible and made me feel at home and very welcome! I will absolutely be back!!!

The Avery is an amazing hotel. Once we walked in we instantly felt at home. We arrived early, but they gave us a free upgrade and held our bags while we walked around Georgetown. The rooms were nice and big. The bathrooms have plenty of counter space which is hard to find in a lot of hotels. The location is excellent. It's walking distance to M street, Wisconsin Ave and waterfront. Your also a quick Uber or Lyft ride to other parts of DC. Defiantly a place to stay when we go back!

Georgetown is probably my most favorite part of D.C. to visit - there's so much heritage, personality & class (not to mention a warm, upscale vibe) to the area. The Avery Georgetown completely personifies this, and more. The hotel is in a FANTASTIC location, just minutes from downtown Georgetown shopping and delicious restaurants - it might be the only one that close in proximity with the quality that one would want in a stay. The building itself has so much history, but has been renovated in a way that one can still get the old world sense, without sacrificing modern comforts (like the refined L'Occitane toiletries in the sleek bathroom, flat screen TV, luxury high thread count soft sheets, fluffy pillows & duvet). It was the most restful night of sleep I had, it felt like home! Thoughtful touches like the COMPLIMENTARY minibar with yummy drinks/snacks makes you forget that you're a visitor in town. The generous (& comped) evening drink/wine hour at the downstairs lobby/bar also serves as a great place to connect with the most interesting / cultured group of travelers also enjoying Georgetown/DC. On my travels, I tend to avoid impersonal/corporate/cookie-cutter type experiences (who wants that?), and The Avery is the perfect, luxurious anecdote.

Do yourself a favor and leave the hustle, bustle, noise and smells of a major chain hotel behind. This quaint property is a great place to stay when in DC and the staff will take excellent care of you. Uber and Lyft are there within minutes and it's a quick ride to Capitol Hill and even quicker to M Street.

This is the best place I've stayed in DC, bar none. The owner, Justin greeted us the moment we walked in and walked us to our room, which was a nice touch that I've not seen before. We were happy to enjoy the complimentary happy hour, complete with seasonal craft beer. The room was awesome, complete with modern fixtures and a fridge full of free beverages and candy. Short walk to all of the hustle and bustle of Georgetown, but far enough from the insanity to sleep in a little and enjoy a complimentary cup of coffee and locally baled pastry. Give this place a shot, we are glad we did!

Great place to stay in the heart of Georgetown! The staff was very friendly and the room was outstanding. The front desk knew everything about the area and helped us find a nice place for dinner. We will definitely stay here again the next time we need a place to stay in Georgetown!!!!

This hotel is a great way to emerge yourself into life at Georgetown. It is very modern and authentic inside and out. The service is also extremely efficient and provided by down to earth people.

We really wanted to like this hotel - the location was perfect for our friend's birthday celebration. We should have known better when they were so hard to get ahold of by phone. 3 of us stayed in 3 rooms. One was put in a basement room that had so much noise, he couldn't sleep. I hadn't checked in yet, and they tried to get him to take my first floor room (he didn't). After several conversations, he was finally moved to a first floor room - but he said, while better, it was still incredibly loud - this time instead of footsteps from above, it was loud machinery running all night. My room had a funky smell and the bathroom light flickered on and off. My room and the third friend's room both had no water pressure in the shower and my water was lukewarm at best. Breakfast was just some coffee and pastries that were left out. There is no one at the front desk most of the time and the lobby/front room, instead of being cute felt super depressing. Our friend and her mom wanted to know about our stay as they wanted to put other friends/relatives there. We told them no way. Go elsewhere.

AWEFUL hotel. GREAT location. Be prepared for staff to steal your stuff...for me BOSE headphones and comedy tickets. There was also a mouse in the room. Too much money for this type of service. Stay at the Fairfield for a similar price and better service!

Great spot great staff. Laid back place to enjoy Georgetown. The courtyard and daily happy hour made our trip a joy.

We were thrilled with our accomodations and the entire inn which was located within a short walking distance to Georgetown. The neighborhood was charming as was this adorable Inn. We felt right at home and never waited over 2 minutes for Lyft. Best place in Georgetown! We will be back!

Location, location, location. Georgetown, out of the downtown congestion. Parking is still an effort, but the hotel managed to help us with that without much difficulty. Federal building modernized, too much for my taste. Room 5 needs a comfortable chair or two. Breakfast pasteries were exceptional. A few odd things. Closeup mirror on wall at waist level. Forgot to replace water, etc. in fridge daily, no extra toilet paper roll, had to ask for hair dryer as it was missing and not noticed by staff. Friendly staff.

Superb location for the stretch from downtown and Foggy Bottom to northwest DC, yet comfortably off the Georgetown hustle/bustle. Very friendly, helpful, knowledgeable and congenial staff and owner. Rooms are fully set-up and with-it; everything needed is there. Complimentary happy hour and morning coffee/bakery items were both nice and easy, just enough to launch you into the evening or day with fuel and pleasantries. Would like to return in the warm weather (we did winter; early February) to enjoy the charm and expanded, outdoor facilities. Looks like it would be relaxing to hang around with my book when taking a break from whatever might take me to DC. Am hoping the owner will manage to do more (hotels?) of what his imagination has in mind. Thank you!
