We’re used to having the option to make tea and coffee in the room so was a bit surprised not to have this but as it’s freely available downstairs in the communal kitchen it wasn’t a huge drama. Just meant a dash to the kitchen to make coffee before other guests saw you in your pyjamas. The only real negative for us was that whilst the area was quiet for a city, the acoustics of the hotel weren’t the best. You could hear fellow guests quite easily, and they weren’t purposefully being noisy, just opening and shutting of bedroom doors or bathroom fans.

The location was perfect. Within walking distance of the nearest Metro station and walkable to the main Washington DC sightseeing spots. Georgetown is a great location for mooching about with a variety of shops, restaurants and bars to suit most budgets. Breakfast was great, plenty of choice available. The access to free soft drinks and snacks was appreciated.

The only disappointment was some stains on the carpet in my room.

Really cozy and stylish small hotel in the best district of Washington

Nico was so helpful and friendly. We arrived late at night and made it so easy for us. Our room was so comfortable, warm and welcoming. Snacks in the kitchen, breakfast was awesome, and we met some really nice people. Will definitely be back.

It didn't bother me, but just understand that it's a small hotel without a front desk or facilities.

A small hotel that is super comfortable and charming. If the location works for you don't hesitate to book.

Comfortable and quiet, nice walk to Georgetown’s main drag.

Cute spot. Probably the cleanest hotel/hostel I’ve stayed at, and with friendly staff. I had one of the rooms on the second floor immediately after the entrance. The windows opened to the street, which introduced some noise, and being so close to the entrance I could hear everyone come in and out. There was a noise cancelling machine built into the room, but it didn’t do much for me. The AC didn’t run very well either so the freezing November nights got pretty chilly. I think it’s the perfect spot for a cozy stay in Georgetown if you arrive in mid-spring to enjoy the garden and DC’s good weather. Try to snag one of the quieter rooms in the back of the property!

Phenomenal location, clean and exceptional service. I accidentally left a bag of jewelry and the kind woman cleaning my room let me know and had the owner send it back to me. I will definitely be back!

The only thing I think has to be replaced is the desk in the room, which has a terrible design that does not allow to really sit and work on it.

A great place with a very nice design. You can tell they have been in the details. The vibe in the room is excellent, and there is a good standard from the sheets to the soap.

Nothing. We were very happy with out stay at the Poppy.

The location was wonderful, on a beautiful, charming street. The Poppy is very warm and cozy, and having snacks and beverages available to guests, in addition to the breakfast each morning was really nice. Staff were friendly. We were there in very cold weather, but the outdoor area looks like it would be great in warmer westher.

No negatives, everything as expected and more.

Great location, friendly host and very comfortable guest rooms

I feel it was overpriced for what it was. It is a nice inn, but for this price, I expected a better breakfast at least, like the host making fresh eggs and vegetarian options that weren't carbs, for example.

The location is excellent, and the room is very spacious and clean. The beds are very comfortable. The terrace is lovely, but unfortunately, it was raining while we were there.

as above

Location, overall facilities. Room tight and a little tired in that 3 patches of wallpaper were needing repair, not what I expected for the price Breakfast very good, overall decor modern and contemporary and outdoor space excellent.

Even though we knew the room would be small, there was nowhere to put our luggage other than on the floor. This made it awkward to walk easily around the bed. The breakfast cereal options were limited. The breakfast cereal choices were high sugar content cereals, except for Rice Bubbles which in itself is tasteless and has little nutritional value. A sugar and fruit free muesli would have been perfect. There were yogurt based options, but again they were sweet fruit based yogurts. A natural yogurt would be a good option to include. A significant concern and surprise was that the cutlery was single use throw away plastic. This bothered us.

Primarily the location. It was quiet, easy to get to and in a lovely neighbourhood.

The Poppy is located in a beautiful, walkable neighborhood with nearby transportation options that made exploring the city easy. The owners and staff were welcoming and helpful, and the other guests were friendly. The guesthouse itself is a comfortable, relaxing space, with lovely rooms and a couple of great outdoor areas to enjoy.

Breakfast was underwhelming. Stake bagels, old fruit.

Comfortable quiet beautiful garden great location

Might let people know that Room 1 is facing street and ask if ok with street traffic. I was very grateful that my request to change rooms was immediately met and I enjoyed the room.

I really liked the comfort of the guesthouse- not noisy or busy. Staff very accommodating to my various requests. Highly recommend for people looking for a hotel alternative.

We were right near the central air that tended to be noisy

Staff was very courteous

As others have commented, I would prefer there to be less plastic waste at breakfast.

For a hotel close to a major city, The Poppy Georgetown Guesthouse is extremely quite and the location is perfect. We stayed in a King Room with Bath - the room was very spacious. The guesthose is within walking distance of Georgetown's many shops, bars and restaurants, including the waterfront. You can also walk to all the main attractions in downtown Washington if you feel so inclined, although it's only a short hop in an Uber. Due to a flight delay, we arrived late at night. Nico was extremely helpful and provided an easy-to-remember door code to make our arrival and check-in as smooth as possible.
