Hotel Lombardy, Washington

Very comfortable bed. Love the atmosphere of hotel, dining experience and bar/lounge. Wish we had stayed on higher floor with a better view.

Wish we had stayed on higher floor with a better view. Toilet chain kept catching so toilet water always running.

The staff! Everyone is so kind, respectful, and helpful.

The way the faucets open and close in the in suite bathrooms. It’s very annoying that it doesn’t follow the standard rules. It’s so small but so annoying.

The location on Pennsylvania Avenue is fantastic! The history of this hotel was very cool. The room was huge and the price was tiny!

Having to leave.....

Very beautiful hotel with a nostalgic, old-fashioned feel and very comfortable.

The Hotel Lombardy was perhaps one of the cleanest hotels I've stayed in in the United States. The staff was very helpful and responsive to our requests. An older hotel, the building does have charm, and very good a/c. And while we didn't eat at the restaurant or the bar, it was good to know they were there. The hotel is literally steps from a bus stop and a very nice coffee shop.

The only (minor) complaint would be that the toiletries were of the old-fashioned single use plastic type, and the water offered in tiny plastic bottles.

Location was good for getting around Washington. Hotel is more traditional than the usual modern and character less ones.

Lighting in corridors could have been better.

Nice location near GWU with good value

All the stafs were very gentle and kind. The location is excelent. The room is confortable.

I really loved the old world charm of the place and the friendly, professional staff. Great location too near Farragut West Metro Station with easy access to the whole City. I wish I could have stayed longer to try the bar/ restaurant but I hope to be back

I appreciated the kitchen but the lighting was poor and strangely there was no cutlery in the drawers. I was only staying for one night so not a problem for me but puzzling and would not be good for a longer term stay

We truly enjoyed our stay at Hotel Lombardy! The location is fantastic — close to everything yet tucked into a quieter stretch of D.C., making it easy to explore and then retreat for some peace. The staff was attentive, warm, and genuinely personable — the kind of team that makes you feel like a welcome guest, not just a room number. The hotel itself is delightfully quaint and historic. You can almost imagine bygone diplomats and elegant travelers gliding down the halls with martinis in hand and important secrets in their pockets. There's a timeless quality to the place that gives it real character. All in all, Hotel Lombardy offers a warm, memorable experience wrapped in history and charm. It may not be flawless, but like a favorite old novel, it wins you over page by page. Would we stay again? Absolutely.

Now, about the quirks — because what’s a historic hotel without a little eccentricity? The bathroom fixtures had a bit of a rebellious streak, and the pillows on the first night were very enthusiastic (read: thick enough to qualify as furniture). But we found flatter pillows in the closet for the second night. Problem solved! The bed was soft and could probably use an upgrade, but the room temperature was absolutely perfect — a serious win when D.C. decides to crank up the heat into triple digits. The in-room kitchenette was lovely, with a great coffee maker and thoughtful amenities that made mornings much easier.

Proximity to sites/location, aesthetic, comfy bed, great value and quality

Clean and the staff was excellent

Not enough outlets

So much character! We made jokes about it being haunted

It was close to my office, staff and food were EXCELLENT!

Nice hotel in ideal location

Room needed a refresh

It was pretty, comfortable, and convenient

Nothing, I liked it.

Well positioned for all major attractions and plenty of restaurants around

Great location, really nice people, really comfortable room.

Beautiful, historic, ornate and classy and a very good location

Nothing

Good central location in a business district 5 mins from Metro. Interiors are a bit dated but clean.

Mattress needs to be replaced. One porcelain shower tap was missing.

Great

Air conditioner did not work the first night

Location, bed.

The armchair near the bed is annoying. It's a small space. The makeup cabinet in front of the bathroom is annoying.

Great location

The location and the antique feel of the hotel that took us back 150 years.

Everything is old borderline falling apart. Even the flooring made noise and the carpets was worn-out. Strange smell.

This is an old fashioned boutique hotel but I just love it. Perfect location, friendly staff, great beds! Not a fancy place - you feel like you’re in a film noir movie from the 30’s! The restaurant is surprisingly good !!!! And the bar in the back is fantastic - though drinks are a little pricey!

The location was absolutely perfect, and the staff could not have been better! The beds were so comfortable, and the bar was beautiful

It’s an historic hotel so it is predictable that there would be some plumbing challenges and creaky floors. better coffee, coffee makers, and bigger mugs in the rooms would have enhanced my stay.

The size of the suite was great

The decor was a bit tired and dark

Clean and located close to the mall and GWU.

The location of the hotel was ideal for my purposes and the Venetian Room Bar was a nice quiet place to relax over a cocktail away from the crowded loudness of the rest of the city.

Beautiful hotel and great location

TV didn’t work Noisy at times due to being next to elevator

Cosy & authentic

Charming and old school vibes. Very close to where I needed to be.

No late night meal options.

Not sure of the other rooms since suites were also available..so it may not be the best for families.. I traveled with my pre teen granddaughter so. we could make do with a king bed. I would have liked a small refrigerator in the room and I had to ask for ice each night since there isn’t an ice machine. I love old buildings and this hotel did not disappoint. From the gleaming brass to the beautiful doors and moulding… breakfast was delicious and the waiter very attentive. There also is a very attractive bar open in the evenings.

Refrig in the room.

Great location, next to good restaurants and cafe, friendly staff, bed is very comfortable. Good value for money.

The only thing is, It happened to us two of three nights we stayed, we heard the loud beeps from car driving backwards at around 6am.

I liked that it didn't feel like a hotel room. I loved having a ceiling fan.

No mini fridge or microwave

Breakfast was outstanding! All the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The location was perfect for walking to all historic sights and the neighborhood felt very safe.

Valley parking is a bit expensive

Location was excellent. Property was unique and charming. Bed was super comfortable. Every staff interaction was delightful.

To experience the charms of a nearly 100 year old property you may need to put up with a few quirks. On one of our three nights the heating/cooling system made a racket for a few minutes during the night. (The other two nights no problem at all). The hotel has a “speakeasy” feel. Not too much natural light except in the front facing restaurant.

Clean and location was central

Dated hotel. Rooms could be brighter

Great location and decor! Disliked the cost of a drink at the bar. The prices are crazy expensive.

Beautiful classic style and comfort

Everything was simply great. The staff was pleasant and very helpful.

Historical building. Bigger room.

A bit dark.

Nice

the location was perfect

the room was rather small

Was very well

None

Hotel Lombardy is what hospitality is all about. Every employee is professional and friendly. The employees in the lounge and the restaurant were wonderful. The room we had was spacious and the bed divine! I cannot say enough good things about this hotel except thank you for making our stay so memorable.

It was just a mile away from the Mall and all the downtown tourist area. Very close to the subway, a market full of restaurants and a nice little park. Everything was very clean.

I made coffee in the room. Unfortunately the cup was smaller and the coffee spilled/overflow. Not sure if that was fault or not. Had to clean it, but not really a big deal.

Thank you Hotel Lombardy for a wonderful stay! The staff was so kind to us and our room was incredible right on I Street. We will be back!

Everything was great and wonderful with Lombardy - specially the old style and history. For sure we'll stay at Lombardy when we visit DC next year.

Our accommodation was a three room suite, bedroom with king bed, a full living room, and a separate, full kitchen. It was more than we expected for 2 people. We were in a quiet, sound-proof, location. The staff were the nicest of any hotel we've stayed in. They did so much for us. Breakfast was absolutely delicious, made to order and served at the table.

The cost for parking our car was very high.
