What an amazing find ! Swann House is located in a safe and conveinent location. It was clean, staff could not have been more friendly & helpful. I loved the self serve ice water, coffee & tea service and breakfast. I am very picky about my coffee and it was great. The lobby area is inviting and after a very long walk on a hot & humid day we cooled off in the pool. So nice :)
I am in DC often and will absolutely be back.

Adorable inn with a focus on design and hospitality. Kaylin the innkeeper does everything in her power to make your stay special. The common spaces are stunning. We had the pool to ourselves and it was perfect for relaxing during the day. We stayed in room 4: beautiful space, nice wet room and deck.
Bring an eye mask if you’re sleeping in this room, early morning light comes in strong from a couple of smaller windows without blinds.

The host was amazing, and was able to allow us to check in early. Which is exactly what we needed after a red eye flight. We thought the location was wonderful, very central to lots of lovely spots. My partner and I want to come back and stay here again because it was so lovely.

We loved the hotel, besides the location being excellent, the staff was very friendly and attentive, especially Kevin. The hotel was so cozy, we felt at home. The breakfast, despite not having much variety, is of excellent quality. Don't forget to try the croissant. We will definitely recommend it to other people.

Clean, comfortable, and quiet -- Swann House, centrally located for our needs, was our oasis of rest in this busy city! The Turret Room (Room 2,) was perfect for our visit to DC. It’s small, but just right for travelers like us who needed a quiet room for rest and regeneration after spending the day visiting family and seeing the sights. The shower was fantastic! Leeann was very gracious and accommodating, and the extra pillows we requested for our stay were cloud soft and supportive. The complimentary continental breakfast was just right with a varied selection of grain and grain-free granolas, dry cereal, fresh fruit, delicious fresh baked goods, and hot coffee and teas. Refreshments were also available in the Common Area Coffee Nook 24/7, along with delightful Swann House short bread cookies for a snack. Swann House is across the street from the S Street dog park. If you enjoy the antics of dogs at play, this will provide all the entertainment you need from the comfort of your room (much better than anything on TV!). We look forward to staying at Swann House on our next trip to DC. I just hope we can get a reservation!

This property has been renovated in a lovely way, but it felt as though they were not really ready to reopen. Our room had no toilet paper and no hair dryer until we asked for them . Breakfast was minimal and the host didn’t offer any information about tours, etc. I would not stay here again

We were given a room in a basement apartment. We had to enter through a locked gate via a bird poop covered “courtyard”. There were no refreshments in the evening as advertised and breakfast was some toast and her boiled eggs.
The manager was the best part of the stay

The room was smaller than “cozy”. Tv did not work. Breakfast was not what was advertised. Staff not easily available

This was such a special place. The history was very interesting. The staff went out of their way to accommodate our need to change rooms. Every morning breakfast was so nice. I can't say enough good things about the staff. It was southern hospitality in DC. We will return.

A beautiful building built in 1883 and a piece of history. It was a beautiful place to stay. A huge mansion. If you like that old vibe this is the place for you. We had a nice relaximg time. Our room had a terrace which was nice. The view from the terrace was not, but then again its in downtown DC. I booked the room called, The Shanghideaway, but was placed in The Jennifer Green room. Not the vibe I was looming for, but the terrace made up for it. During our exploration of the mansion, we found there is no such room. It was advertised falsly. Since we stayed during COVID, no staff were present, the kitchen was off limits and thats where the microwave was. Good thing it is next to many eateries. We paid for breakfast with our package and it was not worth it. In the small fridge in the room they placed, clementines (that were moldy), an orange, 2 orange juices, 6yogurts (out of date), and some kind of homemade bread that did not look right. We did not eat any of rhe breakfast there. Plus, there were two of us, any only 2 juices for two nights? We had to go out and buy breakfast anyway. Beeakfast should not be an option at this time as the buffet that is normally offered is not due to staff not being present. Over all we had a good stay as we were there for us and we got to spend a lot of time for us.

The Swann House is beautiful and i'm sure the actual home is an experience...I would make sure you are receiving a premium room for a premium price. we stayed in what looked to be the old servants quarters, recessed underneath the home. The bed was--rickety--room was clean but random and seemingly an afterthought. we booked last minute and the hotel was full so I believe this had something to do with it, but I would have stayed somewhere else for 400 dollars a night if I knew the only option was under the house.
