hotel Helix- a great stay!
Anonymous Oct 19, 2008
The Hotel Helix in Washington DC was a unique and fun place to stay. We really enjoyed the opportunity to sit on the couch ... and watch tv. The decor and room layout was different and very cool.
While staying at the Hotel Helix, we were able to access the Smithsonian very easily, either by a long walk or a short cab drive.

Okay stay, but was kinda pricey for its mediocre looks and flavor

The Hotel Helix was like walking into an Austin Powers movie. Too groovy!! It was clean and it has a cute cafe area, but I ... wouldn't take a straight man there. Anywho, good location in DC. This hotel was too expensive for what you get, but if you need to be closer to Howard University, Adams Morgan, Dupont Circle, etc., I guess it will have to do. I coulda had a V8. :/

Time to P-A-A-R-T-A-Y!
Robert, Portland, OR Oct 6, 2008
This hotel is a great price for a DC hotel but be prepared, it rocks into the wee hours! If you're into that, you'll LOVE ... IT! If you're not, you'll just be annoyed... It's a bit of cheap made chic but it works for the most part - and it's a ton of fun. From the tiger bathrobes to the sheer curtains that envelope the bed to the rockin' bar downstairs, you couldn't ask for a hipper place in the Dupont Circle area.

The rooms were extra large and uniquely decorated. There was free wine everynight between 5:00 and 6:00 P.M. Good location, ... walking distance to Metra, restaurants and trolley ride. Downtown sights were walkable if you enjoy walking. Nice neighborhood.

Good value
Andrew Aug 21, 2008
The Hotel Helix has large rooms, very centrally located, easy to get from the hotel to all attractions and the Central ... Business District. The lounge is great, the rest of the amenities were just okay. Utilized the free shoe shine service...when they returned the shoes appeared to be in the same condition as they were when left. Tried to order room service, decided against it after being on hold for too long. I extended my stay by one day and my room key no longer worked, had to return to the front desk twice to get this rectified. The morning newspaper arrived three of the five mornings I stayed at the hotel. The price was right so can't complain too much. I would only stay again for the price, other hotels in DC offer the same perks but generally follow through where the Hotel Helix lacked.
Excellent location to walk to many restaurants and bars. Others may choose to take a short cab ride to the Dupont Circle or the 14th Street shopping areas.

Stay at the Helix!
Anonymous Aug 10, 2007
The Hotel Helix is a fun, comfortable, convenient hotel located in a quiet neighborhood in DC. It is an easy walk to ... downtown attractions but allows the visitor to escape the hustle and bustle of staying immediately in the downtown area. The hotel staff is WONDERFUL and the accommodations are not only comfortable but lively and fun. I will never stay anywhere else in DC unless it is a nother Kimpton property.
Check out Lalibela Etheopian restaurant just steps from the hotel.
