We'd stayed at the Tabard Inn a couple of times before over the years so we knew what we were getting into when we booked it for a five-day Thanksgiving (2009) holiday vacation. You want good light in your room? Bring your own bulbs. But I'll stop there -- you get the picture. I do have one good thing to... more

I stayed here for five nights. I said I was happy to share a bathroom/shower. The bathroom in question is patently not adequate for sharing, since the shower completely floods the floor, so it is either unusable or at least uncomfortable and wet for the next person. At the very least, the individual bedroom should have a basin so one... more

We stayed at the Tabard for one night recently. It is in a very nice location in Washington, near Dupont Circle and easy access to the National Mall. The Tabard is charming, quirky, and old. And it's all the things that go along with that. Slightly dingy (though you should not interpret this as dirty), a little tired, but not... more

I was booked into The Tabard Inn for a business trip by my US host who usually stays there when in Washington. I had not checked Tripadvisor on this occasion prior to my trip so was not quite expecting the quaintness of Tabard. I had not bargained on there being no TV , or facility to iron crushed shirts and... more

I accidently left my new dress in the closet wardrobe in our room. When I inquired about having it set aside so my daughter could pick it up (she lives nearby), they told me to call back the next day because the floors were being redone. When I called back the next day, I was given the same excuse. My... more

We've had two negative experiences at the Tabard Inn. Both times, the hostess was surly. Although we had reservations, they didn't honor them (we arrived several minutes early - no excuse). The rooms are horrible, bathrooms filthy, service mediocre and food unimpressive. What over publicized hype. This place is third rate! more

Without a doubt, this is one of the most comfortable places that I've ever stayed. The place has a very lived-in feel. The rooms have character and are not all the same. I like how there are no TVs. The place isn't for everyone, and that's the way I like it. The restaurant is one of the best in DC. more

My husband and I stayed at the Tabard Inn on a Friday and Saturday night as a little DC getaway for his birthday. We live in northern Virginia and thought a weekend in DC would be fun, since we usually only come into the city for work purposes. The inn was querky, unique and full of character. We got a... more

We stayed here at the end of a two week tour of the North East, after great stays in Boston, Philadephia and Baltimore, this was a big disappointment. The property is full of character and the rooms are individually decorated and charming but the owners very obviously prioritize the restaurant and bar business downstairs with their room guests being very... more

My husband and I stayed here for four nights in October. We had read several glowing reviews on Trip Advisor and decided this was the place for us. It was described as quirky and fun and different. The location is great. A five minute walk to the subway, lots of great food in the area. The street itself feels a... more
