My wife and I had THE most amazing time at Hotel Zena. The staff was great, shout out to Maurane. She made us feel welcomed. The food was great we enjoyed the breakfast my favorite being the French Toast. My wife loved the avocado toast. Our room was immaculate thanks to Linda. Can’t wait to come back.

My boyfriend and I decided to fly to DC for a couple of days to get away. We had a blast and staying at hotel Zena was the best decision ever. The front desk was so hopeful and great, plus the location was great it’s 2 blocks away from The Park at 14th. Can’t wait to come back and go on the rooftop.

The numerous bad reviews on Google/Tripadvisor should have made me more attentive to not book 3 nights at hotel Zena Washington D.C..

The numerous bad reviews on Google/Tripadvisor should have made me more attentive to not book 3 nights at hotel Zena Washington D.C.. This place is ridiculous and full of bad surprise for their guests. I still can’t believe Hotel Zena is somehow part of the brand Viceroy. Maybe this is the reason why I was confident. I’ve traveled the world and this place is clearly NOT a 4 star hotel. Even having one of their best rooms, Studio king, we felt trapped! The check-in process was the first big anomaly of a long list. Don't worry, I will not waste time reiterating what has already been said in more than several reviews on this very platform. Simply the undertrained staff should be immediately replaced. What a shame for the Viceroy brand and D.C. We will never go back to this place and most definitely DO NOT recommend to anyone! Message for Sherry Abedi, the General Manager (who post answers on Google/Tripadvisor): Please don’t waste your time with your copy and paste typical answer. Your apology and promise to “do better” will not change anything. The only purpose of my review is to hopefully warn good people who are looking for a hotel in Washington D.C. The city is full of real 4 stars hotels with truly attentive staff and beautiful rooms. Now you know! Read less
