Things that did not appeal to me about this place, others might enjoy (judging by the number of positive reviews they evidently do). Probably a matter of personal taste. But I'll put my thoughts down for consideration anyway. I’ll start with what I liked: 1. Breakfast was great. Fruit, home-made muesli and bread. 2. Good location, the major sights are... More

I stayed here for 5 nights while in town for a conference. I booked late, and I had to switch rooms 4 times because it was so full. All of the rooms were clean and comfortable, and the owner would just email me to remind me what room I was in next. A couple of evenings before people I knew... More

It has taken me over a very long time to write this review. I stayed here while attending a large medical conference at the convention center, all the hotels close by were booked. The owner was absent the entire time. I had to figure out where everything was. The meetings started early and I was not offered possibility of earlier... More

Here at the William Lewis House, we try very hard to make people comfortable, happy and content. If someone tells us something isn’t right while they are here, we will try everything to make them happy. If their room is too hot or too cold we will make changes. If the bathroom isn’t clean we will clean it again. We... More

My partner and I had our first stay at the William Lewis House (which is basically a set of two restored rowhouses from the 1800s) for 3 nights over New Year’s 2012. This also happens to be the time of year of my partner’s birthday. To celebrate, I contacted Patrick, the general manager and all-around go-to-guy, via email to see... More

I stayed there for a couple of days. Lots of rules, lots of regulations, you did not feel welcome nor at home, money was a key issue but not the atmosphere. Breakfast was very poor, one morning the bread was even mouldy, no alternative was on the table. The cake was nice but having the same cake for three days... More

This is the best B&B I have stayed in. After long days and meetings, I was able to totally relax and rest when my head hit the pillow. Each morning, the coffee was perfect and the breakfast delightful. Even though the place seemed to be buzzing with activity, it had a sense of calm. The entire property was spotless and... More

We had a great time and loved this house and delicious breakfasts. Thank you very much, Dave, for helping make our stay in Washington DC one to remember! Your house is all a great Bed & Breakfast is supposed to be (without the high prices). We specially loved the way it transport you back in time to the "Belle Epoque"... More

We visited and stayed for three nights. When we arrived we realized it was a B&B, which was not iformed via expedia. Anyhow very clean and welcoming environment. Room was nice, felt like home and the persons managing the B&B was very nice and helpful. They helped us with finding buses to NYC and to recommend great restaurants. Very appreciated.... More

I arrived at this Bed and Breakfast amidst the Hurricane Irene havoc and certainly found the calm in the middle of the storm. Although my weekend settling my son in Georgetown was crazy, it was wonderful having a friendly and homey place to return to. Amidst the storm, the owner of this residence had homemade soup and bread available to... More

A friend told me about this property. I can't say enough good things. I will try to stay here every time I go to DC. The property and location are excellent. When I forgot my camera battery charger in the room, the proprietor called me and then mailed it to me.
