I really liked the historic features of the property and the old-fashioned furniture. Even a claw foot tub, updated with a very nice shower! I was a little surprised at no tv, but since I don’t watch tv it was no loss—there is internet.
The location and convenience of the Metro is key. Thank you.
The staff were so friendly; very attentive to guests! Everything was lovely. Food was delicious. This is a very unique hotel. If you stay here, just be ready for some windy halls and stairs. We will definitely come back again!
A very special place - historical charm in the structure and surrounds, meaningfully appointed throughout with interesting and sophisticated artwork, made my partner feel special on his birthday... A very good restaurant with equally enjoyable surroundings. A most unique and special place to stay. I can't imagine coming back to D.C. and not staying at Tabard Inn!
We checked in Friday night & were told we would be charged $100 cleaning fee upon being handed keys (was not told this when I purchased the stay). The front desk person seemed irritated having to check us into the suite - we also found out upon check in that the suite was only accessible by walking through the entire restaurant. They offered to walk us to the room & seemed annoyed that we took them up on the offer to help with luggage. We had no clue our room would be serviced & for a suite, it came with minimal amenities (they have a working kitchen but no plates or cutlery). No ice bucket to get ice & only a small refillable jug of water. When showering, you are forced to look at yourself at a full length mirror. 😂
Otherwise, centrally located to world pride festivities & a nice neighborhood makes it a little better. Brunch was excellent so only go there to eat, imho

Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Quaint and with Old World charm. The towels were delightfully soft, but the room is in need of a refurbish.
Historic property with loads of charm and character. The restaurant was phenomenal, but the room didn’t have a TV, and the boiler was broken during our stay, so there was no hot water.
The Tabard Inn is a great bargain. It’s clean but it is the antithesis of modern. If you like the 19th century, you’ll love this place. I have stayed here several times and it’s a refreshing alternative to costlier, charmless chain hotels.

Amazing interiors like a Heritage property, cozy & well maintained in its original format.
Live music and a great bar with a good ambience
Overall the hotel had a distinctive character of its own.
Room and bathroom were small, it took a long time to get hot water and no elevator. We had to carry our luggage to the 4th floor. However, this is a unique hotel with cool decor and the restaurant and staff members were fantastic
