Our only complaint was the noise level. Could quite a bit from the room above us and we could hear the front door slam every time someone came in or left into the early morning hours. It's an old building so it's nothing the proprietor did wrong. You can avoid the front door thing by not reserving lock 4 or lock 5.

I saw an insect scurrying around as we were leaving. Not sure what it was

Easy self checking. The property is clean and located in a nice area, close to restaurants and shops.

Great location in a quirky boutique historic building adjacent to the Georgetown canal. Small comfortable room is all you need to explore the heart of the historic commercial district. You will be amongst a lot of urban activity and sidewalk chatter but area is quiet overnight. Steps away from great food, shopping and sightseeing. Not for those who prefer generic chain hotels.

The Georgetown House was a wonderful place to stay right in the heart of Georgetown. The check in process was unlike anything else I had done before and it was a little unclear before getting to the property, but it was easy and self explanatory once I arrived. Having access to the shared kitchen was super helpful and much appreciated! I would definitely stay there again.

Great location! Easy access with all the basics. It feels like a tiny apartment so I feel like local.

Small, cute, historic property located so centrally that everything is right out your door. Easy check in outside the property. Great room at a great price. Not sure why you'd want to stay anywhere else, unless you just want to pay more?

Really great location and convenience for a visit in Georgetown. Watch your head if you’re tall, however: sloping ceilings, men, I bang my head on the ceiling repeatedly. But otherwise a great step.

Check-in is using a kiosk outside the door. It didn’t work. Tried several times and received ‘communication issue.’ I had to go back to my booking to find a phone number to call. Met several other guests that had the same issue. Knowing this was an issue, someone should have been onsite, reached out with further instructions or at least post a phone number at the kiosk. Very disappointing and just unacceptable.

Clean and nice cozy spot to stay. Room was very clean.
Parking is a bit of a nightmare but that’s all of DC really, no dedicated parking. Expect to hunt for meters and garages.
Walls are thin, you’ll hear your neighbors and they’ll hear you.
Aside from those cons, I didn’t mind it.

The kiosk gave us the wrong code and I called 5x before someone picked up and then verbally gave me the code. Checkin in the 21st century should not be this ridiculous

I was a little hesitant choosing this little gem based on some reviews about noise but now it will be my go to place to stay in Georgetown. Lock #6 was perfect, close to everything yet quiet and had all the travel essentials including two bottles of water. As an added bonus the price was less than anything else I could find in the area. I’ll definitely recommend The Georgetown House to friends and family.

Gorgeous little hotel that overlooks the canal. Very romantic. It even has a little balcony you can sit on and have your morning coffee. Very clean and safe. Georgetown restaurants at the waterfront less than a block away. In the heart of Georgetown where you can shop if needed. Rooms are not gigantic but they are comfortable and modern. Bed and bedsheets are wonderful. Highly recommend.

If you want to sleep, avoid room #4 ! You will be like in the street. There is a warning about the old house that is not soundproof. But the problem is not inside, but outside! The hotel has installed two armchairs and a table on the sidewalk just under your window. It’s great for people to sit and chat and call and eat pizzas. They are like inside your room. In fact, after midnight you can sleep if you are lucky, not before…!

We came in from out of town for a local wedding within walking distance. We booked a room that listed a queen size bed and canal view with porch seating area. We were given room "lock 7" once we booked. When we went to self check in we were unable to and had to call for support. The number listed on the check in machine was incorrect so I had to look up the correct number. We were then helped by someone who gave us our code to check in. However, we were given room "lock 3" which was a much different experience than the room we paid for. It was located in the basement with a small double bed and barely any room to move.The window facing the canal was too high to see out of and we had to keep it closed the entire stay because there was a bench right outside of it that passer goers were constantly sitting on. If the curtains were open they would have had a clear view of our bed. I called the staff back to see why we were not in room 7 and were told that it was "out of commission" and she began checking us out of our room without even asking if that is what we wanted. I had to stop her from checking us out and told her that the room would be fine... Mostly because we had nowhere else to go. After getting to our wedding we began talking with another couple to realize that they were in "Lock 7" and had the EXACT same experience as us. They showed us their room which was much larger, nicer, and had a better view. I'm disappointed we didn't get the room we paid for.

The Georgetown House was perfect for our stay after riding on the C&O Canal bike trail. Would absolutely recommend!

I would stay here again! I read reviews about it being loud, but I didn’t hear anything during my whole stay. I had a room on the end (#7), so that might have contributed to the quiet. Felt safe too as a solo traveler!

The location of the hotel is fantastic, very close to everything (the coffee shops, restaurants and shopping). The room was clean and we are right next to the canal. However, the walls are very thin and during our stay the room next door was playing loud music until close to 4am. We called for a noise complaint but they couldn’t really do much bc no one is on site. The kiosk for self check in didn’t even work.
5.0
Nice, clean, great location. Small but for a quick visit it’s ideal with parking garage across the street. Can’t beat the price for the location.
5.0
Great place to be right in the middle of Georgetown for an OK price. Easy to come and go. Would have liked some water in the canal but guessing the hotel can't change that!
4.0
The property was great. Very clean and well maintained. It was a great location. The only reason I wouldn't give it an A is that it is located near a w popular restaurant and it was quite noisy until 11 nut then it got very quiet. I would recommend this property without question unless this is a desl breaker for you.

Great experience. Would stay again.

I did not like the self check-in. Sometimes the code didn't work for the rooms and you couldn't get in. It turns out the door codes work with Wi Fi. When the internet is down you can't get into your room.

Compact and clean, quiet and convenient. We appreciated the well appointed kitchen and clear instructions. Thumbs up!

I loved the historical perspective of the property and their modern update. Very small rooms and a bit more noise being next to the restaurant with outdoor seating later in the evening. Amazing location in Georgetown and easy access to trail systems.

The ac was terrible. The room was so hot and stuffy I couldn’t sleep. Property was very clean and well located, just wish my room wasn’t a sweat box.

Georgetown House is an easy, no-nonsense home away from home in a lovely old row house with clever contemporary presentation inside. Its location in the center of Georgetown is ideal. Charming.

This place is a hidden gem. It is reasonable, modern, clean, with a staff easy to reach who promptly responds to your needs. Location near the canal is great. If driving, parking garage nearby. Strongly recommend!

Very small room for two people. There were issues with the toilet. The hotel was convenient and felt safe.
2.0
A one day trip to Washington DC. I was a bit surprised about the hotel as I did not read up on it before I arrived.
Check in was ok, but I was struggling a little with scanning my driver's license. Manual input solved it so no major problem.
The only complaint I would have is the water pressure in the shower was lack luster (lock #2).
Other than that there were no issues at all.
Perfect fit for just needing a place to sleep for one night.
I see some people giving this place poor reviews and I can see some would do that if they don't know what to expect.
It's clean, comfortable beds, decent amenities. Perfectly suitable for my kind of trip.

Very convenient for Georgetown visits. Quaint and clean. Just a bit noisy
