Hotel Lombardy

We were given a room with a small seating area, fridge and coffee maker as well as a dressing room en route to the ensuite. The bed was comfortable and the room well serviced each day. We had a problem with the TV at one point and this was sorted immediately. We loved the location of the hotel - within half a mile of the White House and within short walking distance to metro stations. We didn't use the hotel's restaurant because there were many other eateries in the area.

This is an historic hotel on Pennsylvania Avenue at the edge of George Washington University, within walking distance of the National Mall and well served by busses and underground rail. Given the building’s age, it seems to have been solidly built and it was quiet, with large rooms. The bed was comfortable with decent furniture in the rest of the suite. The air conditioning worked quietly and well. The staff was friendly and helpful and their restaurant was very good.

We loved the vibe: Lombardy was built in 1929 and they kept the 20s feel intact, including a shutter-type door that enclosed our room entrance; we loved that they kept them. Our King Suite bed was perfect. There's a small ante-room with sink, fridge, cupboards and a breakfast table. The windows opened for fresh air. The ceiling fan evened out the AC unit nicely. The staff were consistently friendly and helpful, from the moment we showed up at the door and were met by the concierge. It's 15 min walking distance from the White House; other attractions are further and walkable, but also only 2-3 blocks from the Metro which we used every day - perfect for getting around everywhere. Lots of great restaurants and coffee shops nearby (good price range). Area vibe is also great - George Washington University is nearby.

Loved the Hotel Lombardy! Great location, comfortable accommodations, and the staff was wonderful--very helpful, friendly, and professional. This is an "old school" hotel--if you're looking for sleek, modern, and stark accommodations, then this isn't for you. If you're looking for old world charm and service, you'll love it (which we did!). Parking was extra with great valet service--worth it. We didn't try the restaurant/bar, so I can't speak to that, but we were very pleased with everything else. Would definitely stay here again.

From the moment of arrival, via the Metro and a short we were welcomed by everyone. You have a 3 block walk or so t9o the Metro, but all of the sites of DC are accessible, and the White House and the National Mall are an easy walk. I loved the boutiqueness of this hotel. We did not sample the restaurant, but we enjoyed the vibe and service in the Venetian Bar. The double room was spacious with small kitchenette, K-cup style coffee maker, wine glasses waiting (had we drank wine, which we didnt). Seperate alcove for closet and luggage space. Timelessness to the bath/shower, If any drawback, the water was HOT and not easy to cool it down with the coldwater faucet. So, if you like hot showers, you'll love this. Very small elevators (two). Great, great staff. Can't say enough about their hospitality.
