Overall experience in Hilton Capital was Perfect. A little inconvenience was we are travelling with the 1yo and that no kettle and the drinking water bottle is only collectible from Front Desk.
28.12.2025 Guest
The location is excellent, just a 6-7 minute walk from the White House. The bed was very comfortable, and the room was clean. Breakfast was also quite good.
14.12.2025 Guest
Great hotel. Fabulous location. Staff were so friendly, especially Jef on the front desk - amazing guy! Definitely would recommend

The room size is just right, the facilities and amenities are of high quality, and the location is excellent. The lobby features a large coffee bar, a coffee and pastry shop, and a convenience/souvenir store.

The room was incredibly spacious and quiet. The location was superb, offering easy access to all tourist attractions and excellent public transport links. The hotel bar had a wide selection, and the food was also delicious.
12.08.2025 Guest
The room was great. The location was excellent, with the White House and Washington Monument within walking distance. The breakfast was a particular highlight, offering a very generous selection. Bottled water was also available.

The room was quite spacious, with enough room to open three 26-inch suitcases flat. The location is fantastic – just over 2km from the Capitol Building, a bit over 1km from the art museum, and only 600m from the White House. The breakfast was typical Western fare, perfectly acceptable. The only downside was that the parking fee was ridiculously expensive; it really stung to pay for it!
29.07.2025 Guest
The room was spacious and clean, and the service was good. My hairdryer kept tripping the circuit breaker. When I first called for assistance, someone came and advised me to use it only in the bathroom. However, despite multiple attempts, it continued to trip. Subsequent calls went unanswered, so I had to go down to the front desk in person. They did eventually provide a new one, though! The hotel's location is decent, typical of an established Hilton property.
13.06.2025 Gexing~tianxia
The hotel's location is a definite plus, and the price is quite reasonable. It's incredibly convenient – you can reach the White House by just turning left out of the hotel and walking a few hundred meters. The subway station is also only two blocks away. However, the service was a bit lacking, particularly the mandatory $35 daily fee, which I found quite unreasonable. Additionally, the hotel's air conditioning unit is extremely old; it roared like a bomber when turned on.

I’m pleased to say that everything was good and met expectations.
Very well located.
The friendly and accommodating staff were very helpful and genuinely dedicated.
Well equipped fitness.
Pricey breakfast and not too big, but certainly tasty.
The room was clean, modern and elegantly decorated. There is a smart TV. Multiple charging outlets were available. There was a mini fridge and amenities were available upon request.
Very handy information sheet provided upon check-in.
I was able to store my luggage for some time before my departure.
I was charged incorrectly, but this was promptly corrected.
This is hotel is one of the few that can truly serve as an example to others.
Share your experiences, help others make the right choice!

The food and service are really good. I go there once a month and I always get the same waiter because he know my tastes.
01.01.2018 Konstantinos
Had a great time. Hookahs, dancing, and a great Bar! Shout out to Moe! Great hookahs. I've been going here on and off for years, I have not been disappointed ever.

$40 entrance fee for BRUNCH. The food was good but still felt like I didn't eat that much. Good DJ , seating arrangements are weirdly set up, the bus boys walk around but they take their time cheating your table of plates and glasses. Really cool place to chill on a Brunch afternoon. No rush, great place to people watch.
10.12.2017 Andrea
The food and service here is so good. I was overly impressed with the food and the wait staff. The crowd was like a influx of happy hours, then it converted to a dinner crowd, but a calm crowd.
10.12.2017 Laura
Food and service was really good. I had the steak and fries and my husband has the cheeseburger with everything. Both dishes were really well done and tasty!! Also the parmesan mussels and chocolate lava cake were great!!

I went out Saturday night and let me tell you. I was impressed with this Club. This was my first time the staff was nice security was nice and might I add they were cute too lol. The setup was on point. NO FIGHTS, GOOD DRINKS, GREAT BAND. I would definitely go back and recommend this club to everyone.

Hispanic, bald bartender, bartending August 18th night into the 19th near the restrooms was giving off racist vibes. I asked him for a cup of water with ice, he wanted to sell me a bottled water for $5. I told him I just wanted ice with regular water and he only gave me a cup of ice. I confronted a manager about the problem, which she (Tatiana) seemed to handle, but apparently wasn't handled b/c after she spoke to him the bartender harassed me while wearing a shirt that read "I hate you" with a monkey on it. I am considered African American so I do not find that a coincidence. I do not recommend supporting a night club with racist bartenders that cannot serve you a simple cup of water for free when any restaurant you will give you WATER FOR FREE, this was a very disrespectful situation and should not be tolerated at all.
09.07.2017 Morgan
Great empanadas and lively atmosphere. Definitely recommend!

We ended up using Blackfinn for our wedding rehearsal dinner and we were so pleased. Katie was our contact and she was so accommodating. She arranged a tasting (more like several full meals!) for us, made sure our specific requests were noted, and based on the size of our party (~80 guests) blocked off half of the restaurant and the back bar for us. Pricing was the most reasonable of all the restaurants we had quoted or did tastings at (which, most of them charged for tastings!). She was very responsive throughout, despite our quasi-neediness. The food was great, came out hot ,and in a reasonable amount of time given the size of our party. Our guests had an amazing time -- we got just as much great feedback about the party at Blackfinn as we did about our wedding! We are appreciative to Katie and Blackfinn for coordinating a seamless fun event for us and allowing us to enjoy our own party!
24.12.2017 Chele
Service was excellent. My husband was provided some samples of draught beers before he picked one. The food was really good, and we left feeling very satisfied. We'd definitely cone here again.
12.12.2017 matt
Great staff and wonderful service. The bartender was polite and attentive, our glasses were never empty for more than a second or two. There are tons of sites to see and visit in and around the area. Good food and great service! We will definitely be back again soon!
21.11.2017 J
I like blackfinn, but they always just move so slow. Someone needs to light a ? under the employees butts! I've been here several times, and it's my experience every single time. The move slow whether you are just ordering drinks or if you're eating food. Once, buying a gift card even took 30 minutes here! I now only come here when I have nothing better to do than waste a bunch of time (which is rare). This place would go out of business if it weren't for the location. The location in Fairfax is better.

First time at this restaurant; came for happy hour. Got crispy chicken fingers and hard cider. Good prices, FRESH food, pretty fast. Server was friendly and knowledgeable about the menu and specials. Will visit again...soon!
