“A diamond in Dupont Circle”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 May 2013 NEW

My partner and I stayed for five nights. We were very impressed by the location. Dupont Circle is a good area to stay in, there are plenty of bars and restaurants ten minutes walk away and the nearest metro station is around a ten-fifteen minute walk. The guest house itself is very charming and the surroundings are much more interesting... More

We are always grateful for reviews and appreciate the time our guests take to write one. Not only it provides information to prospective guests but it also gives us a chance to respond with hopefully some clarification and additional information. --Dupont Circle Metro Station (red line) is 10 minutes walk away. There is a bus 200 feet from our front... More

Bnb site with style, helpful and very friendly staff, beautiful rooms, American home made breakfast as great starter, great place and location for DC vacation. Slow wifi, so you better do something else.

“Delightful Experience”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 April 2013

I'll admit that when my two co-workers wanted to stay at the American Guest House rather than the nearby Hilton (and location of our conference), I was alarmed. I like my amenities. Given the choice, my favorite hotel is the W. You can imagine my concern. Boy, was I wrong. The American Guest House exceeds a sterile corporate hotel any... More

“Good experience”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 April 2013

The American Guest House is one of the most beautiful proprieties I stayed in, mostly because I love the antique style. I stayed only one night because I was in town for a concert and I had a gift card. Although we had some problems until it was verified, per all it was a very pleasant experience. The staff was...

“Not A Terrible B&B”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 April 2013

My wife and I stayed here over a long weekend (2 nights), in order to be close to the main sights of DC. In this we were not disappointed - the American Guest House is absolutely close to everything. We were but a 15 minute walk to the Capital, to the Memorials, to the museums - perfect for our needs!... More

I was so disappointed when I read this review that the first thing I did was to call some of the guests we had over that weekend and hear their side of the story of what happened at breakfast the morning this guest mentions on his review and apologize of course for any misconduct on the part of our Innkeeper....

“Another fine stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 April 2013

I recently enjoyed another fine stay at American Guest House bed and breakfast. A few points: 1. Breakfast cooked by Jonathan each day was excellent, inventive, and very filling. 2. Staff, headed up by Jonathan, is helpful and friendly without hovering over you. A staff member is always present in the building, even if you might not see them on... More

“Sweet B & B near DC”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 April 2013

My husband and I recently journeyed to DC to enjoy the mall area and take in the museums. We usually prefer B & Bs over chain hotels and we were very pleased with our experience at the American Guest House. We were given a tour of the property when we arrived and the amenities were elegant and well maintained. Our... More

“Delightful! I'll be back!”

It was a wonderful place to spend the weekend. Very conveniently located to Adams Morgan, where the family member I was visiting lives. The room was small but very comfortable, with private bathroom, great queen bed, flat-screen TV (32"?) with cable. Nicely appointed, beautiful wood floors and walls, super clean, etc. The breakfast was delicious, and the staff was kind,... More

“Great experience at a great Washington DC location”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 March 2013

This bed and breakfast was a terrific find, located in the embassy area of NW Washington, and therefore near a large number of good international style restaurants. Took a $14 shuttle from national airport to hotel and was able to walk to nearby shops. I was attending a large meeting and trade show at a venue located about 2 miles... More
