I would hands down recommend the Tabard Inn to anyone traveling to DC. It has history, charm, a friendly and accommodating staff, and a great dining experience. We had breakfast at the restaurant during our stay, and the service was great, with a fun outdoor/patio area and delicious food. I wish we could have stayed longer!

Overall happy. Nice restaurant and great character. Staff is extremely courteous. Easy to walk or rent bikes.
My toilet was not maintained well and kept running and running. I didn’t want to be disturbed by staff so I just turned off the water.

A very nice boutique hotel with character and charm. The furniture in the rooms was vintage. The staff were friendly and helpful. We would stay here again.
The lady at 'early' check-in on 16 July was excellent in supporting me as I wanted to leave my luggage on way to museums. I am sorry i didn't catch her name.
Wait staff at lunch on 18 July was excellent!
My salad with added warm grilled chicken was superb!
Thank you everyone!
I really love this hotel and this was my third stay. I tried shared bathroom option this time and as a solo passenger it was perfect. The bar was a little on the noisy side to read so I moved to the lounge and it was perfect

Quaint spot. Not bad for the age but beds were quite firm and uncomfortable. Room serviced and good towels, sheets etc.

Extremely overrated on hotels.com. It is relatively inexpensive for the area, but very old with no modern amenities. Not even a place to plug in phone except in barhroom
Tabard Inn is a charming, historic inn with approximately 32 rooms. The rooms are individually furnished and very whimsical and eclectic. I loved the decor of my room, room 5. Sadly, it looked out over the inn's HVAC system and a small parking lot so I kept my curtains drawn for my one night stay.
The restaurant is very popular in the Dupont Circle neighborhood and serves excellent new American cuisine. I live in DC and have visited the restaurant a few times over the decades. Was always intrigued by the inn and said I would stay there one day. I plan to return to the hotel--will simply request a room with a view. Highly recommend for those who appreciate intimate and quirky.
