Not as close as I would have hoped to attractions and no elevator. But not a big deal.

Beautiful property, in a great neighborhood of DC. Walking distance to restaurants and metro. Rooms are great, cozy, and roomy for small families. Lovely breakfast options that lean healthier.

Swann House is the perfect retreat in the centre of Washington DC. Beautifully decorated, it boasts a number of rooms to relax in after a busy day, with an infusion tea. Plus a small pool to dip in, and cool down in. The relaxing feel is even bettered by the super friendly and attentive staff (onsite morning until 6pm). There are no downsides to this Guest House.

I wish the breakfast was a bit more elaborate given the price being paid and that the rooms were cleaned every day (without having to request it). For a steep per night rate, I do believe house keeping should be included.

It is brand new - just around 8 months, so it’s really clean with an amazing finish. Great location - walkable to everything including the metro. It is like a high end BnB, very cosy, comfortable and a beautiful ambience.

Small portions of fruit and danish and small cereal containers. I felt guilty wanting more berries and/ or cereal.

The property was perfect, extremely beautiful and clean. Full of character. Staff was very friendly.

I only drink tea and prefer black tea. They only provided flavoured or herbal tea and no milk, only cream for hours outside of breakfast. I did ask for some for the fridge in our room, but never received it. Our room was extremely small so no room to have two suitcases open and hard to move around the bed. Would definitely book a larger room next time and bring my own milk.

Swan House is very pretty and clean. Staff were super friendly and mostly accommodating. The pool was a nice surprise (although water was chilly).

I paid for three rooms one of which was relatively expensive because it contained a spa. The spa was in a state of disrepair and was unusable. I feel that a partial refund is necessary.

Breakfast ok Setting excellent

Beautiful historic property, exceptionally well decorated, just an amazing eye. Our room #10 was on the ground floor but so light and spacious -- downright palatial. The bed was very comfortable. Kevin is a splendid host. The neighborhood is lovely and peaceful, quite convenient to most places I'd want to go, and many many many excellent restaurants a pleasant stroll away. Breakfast starts at 8:30, which was later than we were able to stay, but coffee/tea was readily available round the clock. Several beautiful areas that I'd happily have spent more time hanging out it.

It’s beautiful. The rooms are gorgeous. Well located and has the advantage of a parking spot if reserved and paid.

The Swann House is a historic property that has been renovated beautifully with modern, luxurious touches. The bed was super comfortable. The breakfast was great. There is ample room on the porch and the gorgeous common areas to read a book, have coffee, play a board game. Getting in and out was easy. Loved it!

The staff was so helpful. She went above and beyond what was expected. We would go back just to see her. She made us feel like family.

Problem off and on with the hot water. Didn't like being in the basement, all windows at ground level, not totally private, can walk up and see in ... Also, didn't like entrance to room accessible from the street

Did not participate in breakfast, just coffee. Location not too far from food, transportation, etc. Spacious room

There was a tiny leak when it rained from the window where the aircon was. Didn't really bother me, but they should find a way to stop it.

The place had character. It was intimate and cozy. The staff was lovely and helpful. And the location was great

Not enough amenities for the price and the pool is not operational.

The staff are great but this place is highly over priced.

Stayed in July 2022

The pool was closed and this was not made clear on Booking.com or their own website

The location was very convenient for our needs

Okay, so we've thought long and hard about submitting a review of Swann House because we would prefer to put only positive energy into the world, but also- we spent a week at this B&B and wish we would have had a better experience with how much we invested in our accommodations. So, in honesty and fairness - this is our review: * Our basement suite and bathroom with windows at ground level on a front, main street did not have complete privacy coverings. There was clear visibilty at all times even when the shutters were pulled due to the nature of where the windows are placed. A simple darkening shade or drawn curtain could have made the window areas feel a lot more safe. *There were several black hairs on the bathroom floor and in the carpets upon arrival. *Housekeeping did not refresh handtowels or bags in garbage cans when needed; when we ran out of toilet paper - we ended up having to purchase some from CVS. We left a note on our room door because there never seemed to be anyone on site after 9:30am to assist us, and the number for "house" on the room phone never got picked up? * There was no extra bedding for the pull-out bed. Our suite was however right next to the laundry room so we tried to get an extra blanket ourselves and it was locked up. * The iron in the suite had a steam option, but the water recepticle was missing a cap so hot water spilled out when we tried to press our clothing...which we had to do on a bath towel because there was no ironing board, and again- no one on site to call for assistance...ever?! *There seemed to be a LOT of little bugs everywhere - the main living area, stair well, dining room, bathroom and bedroom suite; maybe due to spring and pollen? *We were never approached or personally greeted by a host or hostess. Our first interaction was on the 2nd day with our breakfast server who was very kind, but unable to answer questions or offer guidance as to what we needed as guests and visitors in DC.

* The B&B is located on Embassy Row in Dupont Circle and within walking distance to the Metro, restaurants and local shopping. * The room we chose had a large jacuzzi tub which was nice after a long day of touring, and the interior of the home reflected the architecture and time period well.
