Why spend big bucks on a 5 star hotel when you can stay at the American Guest House .Our room #202 was very clean and cozy and even though it was facing the street we weren't bothered by the street noise. It was a close walk to the metro station and there was a bus on the corner. Jonathan made... more

I found the American Guest House online when I was looking for a place to stay in DC for under $200 per night. It was conveniently situated halfway between Dupont Circle and the convention hotel. Traveling alone, I reserved the smallest room in the place. And it was small--it didn't even have a closet--but it worked for me. It was... more

When you arrive at American Guest House, you enter by typing a code sent to you beforehand by e-mail and go to your room, which is open with the key inside. This sounds reasonable and in fact worked efficiently, but coupled with the notes taped everywhere, it contributed to a very strange atmosphere. Jonathan is the person in charge and... more

My daughter and I stayed at the American Guest House for our first trip to DC. It was a wonderful place to stay, full of unique charm and a very friendly and helpful staff. We walked about 10 minutes each way to the Dupont Circle metro station and traveled all over the city that way. This is not an easy... more

Clean, comfortable room with style and character. Everything we needed and more. When my husband remarked that we needed to refrigerate insulin a fridge appeared in our room despite the fact that there was one in the dining room which we could have used. Free cookies, tea, coffee, hot chocolate and other beverages accessible at all times as well as... more

Well prepared for visitors arriving at different times; good breakfast choices. Walk to the METRO at DuPont Circle quite easy; advance information could have included using the Woodley Park METRO stop if climbing... more

American guest House was a great and cozy place to stay right in the middle of it all. It's very close to Dupont Circle and the Dupont Circle metro, which makes it very convenient. There's also lots of restaurants around that offer a variety of foods from all over and at various prices. Buses and taxis are easy to come... more

I stayed for five days in a beatiful room in the second floor. The breakfast was amazing and Jonathan was great giving advices about the city. All the staff was helpfull and my days in DC were incredible. more

The room was nice and big, the place was well cleaned. The breakfast was generous, and the discussion around the table pleasant and lively. Jonathan was very friendly to everybody ! The bus can be taken outside the front door and will drop you downtown - the Metro would be just a few yards further. Great to have a free... more
