A very cosy hotel with unique style. Very welcoming staff going above and beyond to provide an amazing experience. Charming historic place, but note that there are no elevators and some rooms have shared bathrooms. It's walking distance (~10 min) from the metro and bus station, and located on a relatively quiet street. We greatly appreciated the hospitality.

The breakfast wasn’t free, but you get a $10 disc coupon. Delicious. Great service. It’s an old building with no elevator access for those with difficulties. Place was beautiful. The o ly inconvenience is the parking. It was a block away and $30 per night. $50 for valet.

We will be back. What a treat! It's insanely historical, quirky, artistic and cozy but classy. The room was amazing. The food and drinks were too. The staff is fantastic. Located in the most walkable area of DC.

This is a hotel with a soul. Unique art in the wall, room decor eclectic and warm. Very good restaurant on the premises ! Nice staff. The hotel does show its age so if you like minimalist cubes for a room, you may not like Tabard Inn. For me, the unique style and great food was refreshing !

The room was spacious and decorated to have its personality. The mattress was very comfortable. However, the hot water temperature was unstable and not very warm. I love that the building has a historical meaning and significance. The service was mixed. One front desk person (I didn’t catch her name) was super helpful and willing to help. I had a plan change, and wanted to cancel. She was willing to waive the penalty because I was on the edge of giving the notice. However, Greg and the manager were not helpful. They wasted a lot of time and were cold and unwilling to help. They added a lot of stress and time waste.

I had to move after 3 hours, there wasn’t hot water in the room, the room number was 44. Front desk told me to wait 20-25 minutes for water, I was waiting for an hour, and eventually they told me it’s an old house, have a problem to get hot water😅well by 11 pm I moved to another place, I paid 160$ per night, my advice add a little extra money, and find better one. The room wasn’t like in the picture, dark and very small.

The Tabard Inn is a charming, European style hotel. It is on the National Register of Historic Places and the furnishings and bathrooms reflect this. Our room was quite large: two double beds, a couch, and a fireplace. The food is outstanding and the mattress was incredibly comfortable. If you are looking for a generic hotel with “modern amenities” this may not be the place for you. But if are looking for a charming hotel with great food and comfortable rooms I highly recommend the Tabard Inn.

Absolutely stunned to see any positive reviews for this hotel. The staff was very nice and that is about all I can say that is positive. The building and rooms are in need of a deep gut renovation. The walls, doors, shower, and sinks are decrepit. There is rust on everything. The didn’t drain properly. The AC is a window unit. There is no sound barrier — in my room I could hear staff vacuuming the restaurant and cleaning and patrons talking and eating. The bedroom/bathroom was just dirty. Stains on sheets and towels. Uncomfortable bed. Dirty floors. Smelly hallways. Very strange decor / art. I’m sorry to say but this was, by far, the worst hotel I’ve stayed at… do not do it!

You could certainly tell this is, in part, an employee owned establishment. Very prompt, conscientious and friendly service. The hotel design and decor is, itself, wonderfully entertaining if you like history and the eclectic. If you need bright and shiny, this is not the place for you. If you're more English pub, you'll be in heaven. I only ate breakfast in the restaurant. It was very good.
