We had an outstanding stay at Hotel AKA Alexandria! From start to finish, every part of my visit exceeded expectations. The housekeeping team kept my room spotless and comfortable every day—attention to detail was top-notch, and they were always friendly and professional. We also loved the E-bikes available for guests—a fun and easy way to explore Old Town Alexandria. Such a great touch that really added to the experience. The front desk staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful, making check-in smooth and always available to assist with anything we needed. A special shoutout to the engineering team—they went above and beyond to help set up the football game in the hotel theater so we could enjoy it on the big screen. That level of effort and hospitality truly made my stay memorable. Hotel AKA Alexandria has a perfect mix of luxury, comfort, and genuine care from every staff member. I’ll definitely be staying here again!

The rooms are very clean. The bathroom is one of the best I’ve had in a hotel in a while, very modern and clean design. Upon walking in your greeted with a beautiful unique scent which sets the tone for the hotel itself. The staff is very professional. Street parking is available and not to difficult to find.

Another wonderful stay at the AKA Alexandria. We have been several times and it never disappoints. The vibe of the hotel is amazing. The decor is awesome—so is the staff. The terrace is fabulous, as is the media room. The neighborhood is safe and extremely walkable. The food options are endless, including the hotel’s own bar and restaurant. As long as the level of service received stays the same, we will continue to return.

The hotel smelled great upon entrance. Rooms were clean, comfortable, and quiet. It had a minimalist zen vibe. No ice bucket in room and the ac unit inside the room was noisy. The overnight valet option is $44 but be mindful of a hidden $25 charge tacked on to that. Parking seemed limited and we were kinda forced to do the valet. The valet guys and personnel at the counter were friendly and welcoming. The location was great for Old Town, enjoyed our stay.
