Nestled on a quiet street in Washington, DC's Embassy Row, this bed & breakfast is a gem. Built in 1880 and recently refurbrished, it is scrupulously clean, and historic structures and decor are preserved. Breakfast is prepared each morning and is served in a lovely dining room. Walkable to Dupont Circle and the Wardman metro station, with a bus stop... more

Why spend big bucks on a 5 star hotel when you can stay at the American Guest House .Our room #202 was very clean and cozy and even though it was facing the street we weren't bothered by the street noise. It was a close walk to the metro station and there was a bus on the corner. Jonathan made... more

I found the American Guest House online when I was looking for a place to stay in DC for under $200 per night. It was conveniently situated halfway between Dupont Circle and the convention hotel.

Free cookies, tea, coffee, hot chocolate and other beverages accessible at all times as well as... more

Very attentive considering the limited number of staff; services above par; thoughtful layout for somewhat small rooms. Reasonable cost for a very expensive town to stay in. Well prepared for visitors arriving at different times; good breakfast choices. Walk to the METRO at DuPont Circle quite easy; advance information could have included using the Woodley Park METRO stop if climbing... more

American guest House was a great and cozy place to stay right in the middle of it all. It's very close to Dupont Circle and the Dupont Circle metro, which makes it very convenient. There's also lots of restaurants around that offer a variety of foods from all over and at various prices. Buses and taxis are easy to come... more
