It was like sleeping at home. The bed was very comfortable and I was overjoyed to have not one but four memory foam pillows. Room 403 was quiet, spacious and the canopy bed luxurious. Waking to a delicious hot breakfast and tea was the perfect start to a day of exploring. The location was perfect for beautiful neighborhood walks and easy access to the metro and museums.

Lori United States of America

Historic comfort. Accommodated our dietary restrictions, great location.

Josybellalta United States of America

The bed was like a cloud; the overall decor and architecture was like stepping back in time.

Jean United States of America

Hosts were friendly. Lively conversation. Great home made breakfast each morning.

Anonymous United States of America

Ola United Kingdom

Excelente trato del staff. Desayuno 10 puntos. Te hacen sentir como en tu casa. Fue una linda experiencia de hotel no convencional

I like it very much. The breakfast is good. The room is warm and clean. 房间很好,因此我很乐意在此用中文做些评述,希望对中国的朋友有参考价值。我达到酒店的时间很晚(夜里12:40),天气很冷,我达到房间时发现暖气已经被打开了,床铺和卫生间很干净。尤其是早餐,我住了5天,每天厨师都现场做特别的早餐,也符号我这个中国人的口味,比如炒鸡蛋。另外,酒店附近有很多餐厅和酒吧,生活比较方便。最后,酒店工作人员很nice,老板人也非常友善。

Host Info

Host Review Score 9.5

Our Innkeepers are just the best, our breakfasts are made-from-scratch using only fresh ingredients, our linen are spotless white and we do our best to make you feel comfortable.

I Love to travel with husband and son and mingle with the locals. We are budget travelers and enjoy small bed and breakfasts, inns and guest houses. What is important to us when we travel? We mostly look for cleanliness, WiFi, free breakfasts, peace and quiet, non smoking, no pets kind of places. We normally travel as a family and we enjoy places where we can do lots of walking.

Kalorama, our neighborhood is an upscale, safe and very walk-able area located steps to Dupont Circle, Woodley Park and Adams Morgan. There are a myriad of restaurants and embassies, all within walking distance from our DC bed and breakfast. The metro station (Dupont Circle/Red Line) is less than 10 minutes by foot.
