Sure it’s old, like I mean real old. Like maybe the oldest hotel in DC. However that doesn’t justify $400 a night if it doesn’t provide a clean bathtub or a fresh pillowcase on the spare pillow. I don’t usually notice those kinds of details but you can bet my girlfriend does. Yes and only one spare pillow for our king bed. Would it break them to put a tv or telephone in the room? I know we are all supposed to want to be intellectual and tv is so twentieth century etc but let’s face it, we don’t all love to stream. Which left me squinting at my cellphone trying to watch Unexplained Mysteries with my Netflix app. Breakfast was delicious but not entirely included in the price of the $400 stay. Oh and no elevators made climbing the three flights of narrow winding staircases a real workout even without the suitcases. Crazy eclectic artwork everywhere with a decidedly left wing slant made an already uncomfortable stay even more anxiety inducing. My crazy sisters love the place for among other reasons because Tabard’s promotional materials proclaim the place is haunted with its own private ghost. So listen up people I stayed in a real clean and friendly motel in the Catskills the week before and paid $95 a night and came away very happy and well rested. I prefer my bizarro hotels in the movies.

This is a historic hotel full of character and charm. The lounge area is cozy and the ambiance is great. My husband and I enjoyed cocktails and relaxing after walking around sightseeing all day. We would stay here again -- at the very least come back and enjoy the lounge/bar area.

It has a bohemian touch that is charming. The bar and restaurant ambiance are awesome. The furniture could have a bit of a restoration without losing its charm.

Loved the old-fashioned decor. Room not cleaned the first day and for the money no special touches. Most of the staff were great, but one guy at the front desk was indifferent.

Late Victorian era building with a boutique hotel vibe. Our room and bath were spacious. The old building has its quirks. How things work in the room are not as intuitive as in newer hotels, but we found what we were looking for. The common areas like the lobby, bar and restaurant open for breakfast and lunch are unique in a good way. Staff are great. We arrived early. We checked our bags and they were in our room when we got back to the hotel later in the day. There is no elevator, and high ceilings add to the stair count, but the stairs were comfortable.

A popular restaurant with the local upwardly mobile, serving good food in a lovely environment & rooms which are pleasantly retro. I did not miss not having a TV in my room but I would have appreciated coffee making facilities for those days when I did not fancy breakfast but did fancy a cuppa before walking around Washington. It is in a quiet & safe area, an easy walk to the centre of town or the Metro. The staff were all friendly & helpful. The menu was good & the food delicious. Great for a tourist trip to Washington DC.

Great for ambiance & staff, not so much for sleep
Lovely, kind, helpful staff. They were gracious in helping us with luggage issues. The room was spacious and richly decorated to match the history of the hotel. The lounge was inviting and well designed for conversation over a night cap. The breakfast was excellent and abundant. The location is convenient for enjoying WDC. I would give more stars but the mattresses were almost unbearably hard, the room was bathed in light at night, and noisy pedestrians coming home invaded the room until 2:30 AM. Bring eatplugs and night/eye shades if you are a light sleeper. Maybe the hotel could offer these amenities to guests.

If you want a lift - forget it. Or a mini-bar, or 24/7 room service too. But if you want to stay in a grand house circa 1880, with a lovely period ambience, then this is pretty unique in DC. I love it.

Horrible - big party next to me with loud drunks ruining my special trip with my daughter, I’ve called front desk and nothing can be done. I loved my trip here in January and soooooo disappointed with this one. Didn’t realize Tabard Inn was a college spring break motel.

The staff member at check in did not seem to care much about their job, but other front desk staff were friendly and helpful. Very difficult to regulate the temperatures in the room and the water in the shower, but otherwise a good experience. NOTE: not accessible, no elevator.

This hotel is a gem, not to mention its amazing restaurant, lounge, and bar. It has been a Washington, DC legend for decades. My room was so beautiful, high-ceilinged, spacious, furnished with old but comfortable sofas. The bathroom was old, a bit creaky, but functional and charming. I loved that it lacked a TV, phone, or radio. Look: this hotel is not for you if you seek the latest modern comforts. There are no elevators and there are some stairs to climb. Forget about a gym. What looks old and delightful to me might seem shabby to you. But if you seek peaceful, old-world coziness and charm, you will adore this hotel as much as I do. It is a DC treasure!
