Guest Reviews

Kate (10/5): - This was an incredible gem in a great location!
Christina (10/5): - One of the most relaxing and memorable stays I’ve had in years. Swann House is every bit as charming as I remembered from 20 years ago. The owners are so warm and welcoming, and Christine, the Inn Keeper, is not only a gracious host but also a great cook—breakfast each morning was a real treat. The house is located in a lovely neighborhood, and just a short walk to Dupont Circle station, which made it easy to get around without needing a ride service. I’m so grateful we returned after all these years. I wholeheartedly recommend Swann House and look forward to coming back again.
Chantel (10/5): - Amazing property. Conveniently located
Dana (10/5): - Upon my arrival, I was given a tour of the B&B. It was beautifully decorated, and I noticed little touches that made it more special, such as snacks by the coffee/tea maker and access to sunscreen and pool toys at the pool. The included breakfast offered variety and was tasty. During my stay, I felt like I was in a home away from home. I hope to stay here again in the future.
Nancy (10/5): - Beautiful property and a wonderful staff. Great neighborhood.
Diane (10/5): - The hosts were very attentive and the property was spotless
Lynn (10/5): - Gorgeous property! Very clean and the neighborhood is beautiful.
Eva (10/5): - Truly a wonderful gem! Great value for the price. Right by Embassy Row and the historic neighborhoods. The breakfast was divine!
Lara (10/5): - We had a lovely short stay at The Swann House. Beautiful property in nice area of DC. The staff was great and room was very cool. Great view and comfortable. I highly recommend the Swann House.
Sarah (8/5): - Good customer service and good location.
Susan (10/5): - amazing oasis!
Malik (10/5): Best 1 one night stay ever! - What an absolutely fantastic place! The customer service is top-notch, with such empathetic and thoughtful staff that make you feel right at home. The environment is spotless and incredibly comfortable, and I absolutely love how they've incorporated air purifiers and humidifiers throughout! It's a breath of fresh air—literally!place. It’s just quiet and lovely and comfortable and oh my God the total shower experience with the whole bathroom was like Can-live-here One of the nicest places -!I only stayed the night, but I will stay again. If couks give up place live there - Yes I would.
Kerri (10/5): Great stay. - Wonderful service from hosts, breakfast was bountiful and delicious. If it's hot ask for a fan, unexpected hot day in winter.
Diana (10/5): - Fantastic place with the most caring staff!
Ryan (10/5): Came for business and want to come back for fun - Super cute and cozy! Lots of little touches... loved it all!

Holly (10/5): - Much better than a hotel. Close to DuPont circle, easy get rides to sites. Highly recommend.
nancy (10/5): - Staff is so kind and helpful. The house is beautiful, and breakfast was good. Convenient location to DuPont Circle stores and restaurants, and metro.
jennifer (10/5): - What an amazing find ! Swann House is located in a safe and conveinent location. It was clean, staff could not have been more friendly & helpful. I loved the self serve ice water, coffee & tea service and breakfast. I am very picky about my coffee and it was great. The lobby area is inviting and after a very long walk on a hot & humid day we cooled off in the pool. So nice :) I am in DC often and will absolutely be back.
tracy (10/5): - The most fabulous place to safe ... Cannot recommend this place enough... Would stay here again.
heather (10/5): Dream home hotel - We absolutely loved our stay at Swann House. The hotel is impeccably designed. It rooms were comfortable and clean. The staff were friendly and very accommodating. Breakfast was lovely. We can’t wait to go back.
Angela (10/5): - My son and I stayed at Swann house and it was the perfect spot. Great location and the staff was so friendly and accommodating. Highly recommend!
eric (10/5): - Very clean, updated, comfortable room. Short walk to Dupont Circle metro. Staff very friendly and helpful. Thank you Kaylin and staff for a great weekend!
Evelyn (10/5): - This property was exquisite! I will only ever stay here when coming to WDC!
Benjamin (10/5): Designer Inn with a Hospitality Focus - Adorable inn with a focus on design and hospitality. Kaylin the innkeeper does everything in her power to make your stay special. The common spaces are stunning. We had the pool to ourselves and it was perfect for relaxing during the day. We stayed in room 4: beautiful space, nice wet room and deck. Bring an eye mask if you’re sleeping in this room, early morning light comes in strong from a couple of smaller windows without blinds.
Peter (10/5): I’ve never actually said this… - The host was amazing, and was able to allow us to check in early. Which is exactly what we needed after a red eye flight. We thought the location was wonderful, very central to lots of lovely spots. My partner and I want to come back and stay here again because it was so lovely.
Joe (10/5): - The Swann House is a very luxurious and comfortable bed and breakfast. It is in an excellent location within walking distance to numerous restaurants and amenities.
Vilma (10/5): - Amazing visit. Most beautiful place ever and fantastic straff! The design is amazing, every detail is perfect.
Ani (8/5): Chill stay - The staff is amazing, Kevin in particular, the breakfast options aren’t vast but it’s a very nice and relaxed ambiance. Everything is very clean!
Nettie (10/5): - The property was beautiful and well cared for. The host was friendly and took care of all of our needs. The location was amazing and convenient.
Marianne (10/5): - Clean, comfortable, and quiet -- Swann House, centrally located for our needs, was our oasis of rest in this busy city! The Turret Room (Room 2,) was perfect for our visit to DC. It’s small, but just right for travelers like us who needed a quiet room for rest and regeneration after spending the day visiting family and seeing the sights. The shower was fantastic! Leeann was very gracious and accommodating, and the extra pillows we requested for our stay were cloud soft and supportive. The complimentary continental breakfast was just right with a varied selection of grain and grain-free granolas, dry cereal, fresh fruit, delicious fresh baked goods, and hot coffee and teas. Refreshments were also available in the Common Area Coffee Nook 24/7, along with delightful Swann House short bread cookies for a snack. Swann House is across the street from the S Street dog park. If you enjoy the antics of dogs at play, this will provide all the entertainment you need from the comfort of your room (much better than anything on TV!). We look forward to staying at Swann House on our next trip to DC. I just hope we can get a reservation!
Alexandra (6/5): Mixed - The internet was not very strong and the breakfast had very few options. But the spaces were lovely.
Steve (8/5): - Comfortable and clean. An enjoyable stay, staff member very friendly and helpful
Jessica (10/5): - Beautifully designed property in walking distance to so much (bring your walking shoes)! Comfortable beds and good breakfast (toast muffins hard boiled eggs fruit and yogurt) to grab before going out for the day. We absolutely loved our stay!!!
Morgan (10/5): - Gorgeous and unique, very comfortable and dreamy.
Wendy (10/5): Great Getaway - It was everything I needed it to be. Quiet, clean, and a little getaway as I travel for business. Loved the inn keepers, they do an amazing job to make you feel at home.
ChengTa (10/5): Fantastic stay - It was a fantastic stay. The room is big and clean, the bed is comfy, and the bath tub even has spa function. The decoration of the hotel is elegant, and the host is super nice. Also the breakfast is so delicious. I would definitely come back again!
Allison (10/5): - Our room was immaculate, and the bedding was so comfortable. The space was quiet, check-in was a breeze, and I only wish we could have stayed longer!
Eliot (8/5): - Cute and charming place to stay
Margaux (10/5): - Love all the attention to details here. Wonderful owner, staff and delicious breakfast. Room was comfortable, exactly what I needed for a two night business trip.
Dona (8/5): - This property has been renovated in a lovely way, but it felt as though they were not really ready to reopen. Our room had no toilet paper and no hair dryer until we asked for them . Breakfast was minimal and the host didn’t offer any information about tours, etc. I would not stay here again
Christopher (6/5): - We were given a room in a basement apartment. We had to enter through a locked gate via a bird poop covered “courtyard”. There were no refreshments in the evening as advertised and breakfast was some toast and her boiled eggs. The manager was the best part of the stay
Joanna (4/5): - The room was smaller than “cozy”. Tv did not work. Breakfast was not what was advertised. Staff not easily available
Verified traveler (10/5): - This was such a special place. The history was very interesting. The staff went out of their way to accommodate our need to change rooms. Every morning breakfast was so nice. I can't say enough good things about the staff. It was southern hospitality in DC. We will return.
Verified traveler (10/5): - The furnishings are unique and beautiful
Wanda (8/5): - A beautiful building built in 1883 and a piece of history. It was a beautiful place to stay. A huge mansion. If you like that old vibe this is the place for you. We had a nice relaximg time. Our room had a terrace which was nice. The view from the terrace was not, but then again its in downtown DC. I booked the room called, The Shanghideaway, but was placed in The Jennifer Green room. Not the vibe I was looming for, but the terrace made up for it. During our exploration of the mansion, we found there is no such room. It was advertised falsly. Since we stayed during COVID, no staff were present, the kitchen was off limits and thats where the microwave was. Good thing it is next to many eateries. We paid for breakfast with our package and it was not worth it. In the small fridge in the room they placed, clementines (that were moldy), an orange, 2 orange juices, 6yogurts (out of date), and some kind of homemade bread that did not look right. We did not eat any of rhe breakfast there. Plus, there were two of us, any only 2 juices for two nights? We had to go out and buy breakfast anyway. Beeakfast should not be an option at this time as the buffet that is normally offered is not due to staff not being present. Over all we had a good stay as we were there for us and we got to spend a lot of time for us.
Theresa (8/5): Historic Stay - Beautiful Historic Building with so many original features.
Verified traveler (10/5): - Beautiful property. Very clean room and a lovely sitting room. Breakfast was very good
Verified traveler (10/5): Elegant - Time capsule to a bygone era. Quiet, peaceful. Favorite spot was the dining room and lingering after breakfast.
Laura (8/5): - Very nice inn! Recommend.
townsend (6/5): - The Swann House is beautiful and i'm sure the actual home is an experience...I would make sure you are receiving a premium room for a premium price. we stayed in what looked to be the old servants quarters, recessed underneath the home. The bed was--rickety--room was clean but random and seemingly an afterthought. we booked last minute and the hotel was full so I believe this had something to do with it, but I would have stayed somewhere else for 400 dollars a night if I knew the only option was under the house.
Katherine (10/5): A Gem - Amazing ambiance, great location, and friendly staff. I felt awed by the place and all of the care to detail. The many extra touches were a bonus. Breakfast was great. Room was very comfortable (particularly enjoyed the jacuzzi tub).
Michelle (10/5): - Love the old feel of this mansion, yet the amenities are modern. The pool and my bathroom are the most unique. I love it here and will return if availability permits.
Glenn (10/5): - Amazing facility, staff, food and location. Highly, highly recommend.
Verified traveler (10/5): - The setting in Dupont Circle was wonderful. Lots of vibrant young energy, and lovely walkable streets.
Verified traveler (10/5): - There is no better location in DC. Innkeepers are a delight. And it is a peaceful break from a hectic day in the Nation’s Capital. Just remember to arrange parking before hand. I was lucky there was a space available.
Verified traveler (10/5): NICE play to stay - This was such a nice place to stay. I would recommend it. The location is fantastic.
Verified traveler (8/5): - Overall this is a quaint and cozy property. We loved our room and the beds were very comfortable. One area that I would suggest needs improvement is the breakfast. We showed up during the breakfast time frame but only half the time did anyone come and ask us about a hot breakfast. There are also many, many stairs!!! This is not the place for you if don’t want to or can’t climb mulitiply sets of stairs every day.
Verified traveler (10/5): - Sweet guesthouse in a nice location, walking distance to Dupont Circle, Adams Morgan, and Logan Circle/14th street neighborhoods. Lots of great drinks and dining options nearby. A highlight was how friendly everyone who worked there was, and the tasty breakfast. I think most if not all rooms require maneuvering stairs if that is a concern for you. I stayed in the Parisienne suite, which was large and comfortable if a bit dark given that it's kind of an English basement setup. I travel to DC for business semi-regularly and would definitely try and stay here again.
Lisa (10/5): Loved the Swann House - We really enjoyed ourselves and would come back again. Great neighborhood.
Verified traveler (10/5): - Lovely rooms, delightful staff, charming amenities like afternoon tea, bites and evening sherry and treats. 3 block walk to 14th street and lots of eateries, etc. I stay here every time I'm in DC, which is often.
Verified traveler (10/5): - Great location, quiet and the Inn was absolutely quaint. Great period antiquea and the staff was very knowledgeable on the history of the Swann House and surrounding historical sites
Vicky (10/5): - It was lovely & the staff tried to be helpful & kind. Also a lovely safe neighborhood & near everything. There are stairs so if you can't do stairs then this is not the place for you.
Christopher (10/5): Beautiful B&B - The Swann House is a beautiful home and lovely B&B. The staff are especially friendly, welcoming, and provide excellent service. The area was also very pretty and I enjoyed walking in the neighborhood.
Verified traveler (10/5): - Awesome gem in DC. Great hospitality:) Close to everything and quiet.
Verified traveler (10/5): - Loved the staff friendliness and availability. Also, the sherry and nuts, etc., presented a terrific opportunity for travelers to meet one another. Super!
Verified traveler (8/5): - This beautiful mansion is located in a terrific location. Love the dog park just across the street. The staff is fabulous and friendly. Breakfast was ok. Decent selection of breads, cereals, etc and a hot entree each morning. Very peaceful. The facilities themselves desperately need updating. The furniture is worn and sagging. Floors are chipped in areas. Mattresses and linens seriously need replacement. For what we paid, there are plenty of room and great restaurants within walking distance. I would have been very unhappy.if I had paid the “rack” rate.
Verified traveler (8/5): - A great change from the usual DC hotel experience. The inn was lovely and historic. The grounds had a lot of weeds and there was no table and chairs on the patio outside our room as pictured. A lot of pigeon droppings and debris outside our door which was never cleaned during our 3 night stay. We were moved to the basement Parisienne room due to cooling problems in Blue Sky. The bed was usable but did have a broken slat so that the mattress tipped down and it was obvious that vacuuming under the bed was never done. Despite these things we would stay again hopefully in other room. Breakfasts were lovely!
Marcy (10/5): Awesome - Awesome location near restaurants Quaint and quiet
Martin (8/5): Variable. - The personnel were great. The rooms were varied. Some better than others. Be sure to know what you are getting
Pia (10/5): Awesome Bed and Breakfast. - Beautiful vintage house in a great location. Walkable to sights and restaurants. Extremely friendly and courteous staff. We will definitely be back.
Verified traveler (10/5): Bijou - A lovely hotel with just the right amount of comfort and difference. I just loved it all and am staying there again next week.
Zeljko (8/5): 19th century villa with very unique taste - It is a 19th century villa, and this has some very good, and some bad issues. Good thing is that this is a maybe the best integration of old building with new amenities like jacuzzi bathtub and other modern things, I've seen. This is some kind of family run Inn, and you have something like a family atmosphere during your stay, some kind of retro classic in hotel industry, and this was very new and essentially good experience. Bad thing is that we came and our room Milano was not available, so we were moved in a basement room for a first night, they solved this very professionally, but this really shouldn't happen. Second thing is internet, rooms above the ground have very good internet, but basement rooms have internet from 1990 era, but this is a something that I don't know if there can be solved if you have building from 1883. Too many written warnings posted everywhere, I've never seen nothing like that, they even tells you which towel to use for makeup removal, where to put women products,etc. Unique stay, very friendly staff, but they need to solve this issues that casting shadow on overall impression.
Dr. Robbie (10/5): VIP treatment - Excellent. Beautiful decor and room.
Traveler (6/5): Good location - The staff at this B and B were excellent. I booked the Serengeti suite and found it disappointing. It was in the basement with a musty moldy smell. The plumbing was off one sink had no running water and the shower came out in a stream. It had things stored in the room that obviously were just being stored for some other room in the hotel. Overall it gave the room an unused feel. One enters the suit via a side entrance and while behind a locked gate, people that were in the other room did not lock the gate so I felt a little unsafe and uncomfortable in the room. The main house looks much nicer and if I knew the suite was in the basement I would not have booked it. That should be mentioned on the Expedia website.
Verified traveler (6/5): Great location, some accommodating dtaff - Our first night was tough in the Parisian Suite which was not a pleasant space. The staff was kind enough to let us move to the Regency room the following night, where it was exponentially better.
Nita (10/5): Beautiful old mansion - Great food, kind staff, good neighborhood, great historic building and lots of nice extras!
Lisa & Michael (10/5): Nice hotel near the WIT=Washington Improve Theatre - Room 126 was beautiful, perfect for our 4 year anniversary. Enjoyed internet, cable TV, whirl-tub, area with snacks, coffee & access to a refrigerator. Staff for Sunday morning was very accommodating & took me on a tour. Saturday staff offered a ride in the cold weather. Our check-out Monday morning was a little challenging. We had to find the hostess and we almost left with the key. She did not ask for the key and did not remind us that our pizza was in the refrigerator. Her husband was in the breakfast area and she was a little pre-occupied Monday on Martin Luther Kings birthday.
Thomas (10/5): Comfortable hotel in downtown D.C. - It was great to stay at Swann House this time. My most memorable aspect of the stay was the very impromptu and engaging chat I had with the manager, Isabel. We engaged about politics, education, travel. It was delightful. She helped me feel welcome in what is actually my hometown.
