My wife and I are from Australia. We stayed at Swann House over two seperate periods during June. In between we travelled out of Washington and left a large part of our luggage with them. We found the staff to be very friendly and accommodating. The room we had was a little small and perhaps a bit too crowded with... more

The Swann House is a nice treat. GREAT service; charming, comfortable decor; excellent breakfast; and quaint neighborhood with easy access to public transit. My husband and I loved the Shanghai'daway because it was tucked away from it all (but if you can't live without a window, you might want to choose one of their other lovely rooms). If you like... more

We have just returned from a 3 night stay at the Swann House in Washington, D.C. It was pure perfection!!!! The innkeepers were extremely accomodating, with exceptional, friend ly service. They always seemed genuinely interested in helping with recommendations, directions or whatever was needed. The appointments in the house were lovely. The location was great. It was 4 blocks from... more

The Swann House is one of our all-time favorite B&Bs in the country (we always seek them out when traveling), and not just because we got married there. When my wife and I wanted to plan a very small wedding in DC, we both immediately thought of the Swann House. We wanted a very special, memorable place for our guests... more

Bravo to the staff at the Swann House. This will be my new home-away-from-home when I'm in DC on business. The cookies were great. The green tea delicious. The help in finding good dining and my way around town was spot-on. The mid-week continental breakfast was WONDERFUL. Travelers should consider this place first before any hotel in the city. Only... more

I know my review is late because I was at the swann house on October 2006, but I want to tell how wonderful was my experience there. I went to this B&B with my boyfriend for 5 nights, we were downstairs, with a privat entrance, and I have to say that was extremly quiet, also because the neighbourhood is very... more

The Swann House sits in a suburban neighborhood great for walking or catching your breath from seeing the sights. It's a few blocks away from Dupont Circle, its Metro exits, and the Golden Triangle of restaurants and shops. It's also a short ride away from Georgetown. It offers a small, secluded pool that's perfect for the city's hot summer air,... more

My husband brought me all the way from England to celebrate my 60th Birthday at Swann House. From the moment we arrived, it was a wonderful experience. Food/Service/Ambience were all first rate. On the actual day of my birthday, my husband went to the dining room to ask staff to deliver with my breakfast the birthday cards etc which he'd... more

My husband and I just returned from a weekend stay at the Swann House. I chose this B&B (which is actually a mansion about 4 or 5 blocks from the Dupont Circle Metro station) based on reviews on Trip Advisor. We reserved the room called the Shanghai'ed Away which was on the lower floor underneath the sunroom. It was exactly... more

This was my second stay at the Swann house and I can report another excellent experience. Their website is superior and gives very accurate descriptions of each of the rooms - including any warts you should know about. As a B&B every room is different so read carefully. The only problem with the website to watch for - and I... more
