The hotel's own web site and other reviews on Tripadvisor are accurate. Elegant location ca. 6 blocks from The White House; charming decor with antiques and original oil paintings; and friendly, helpful staff at a reasonable price should make this an easy choice for leisure and some business travelers. Well maintained throughout. Spotless bathrooms with thick Frette towels. Very comfortable... more

We recently spent 8 nights at the Lombardy while in DC on a sightseeing excursion. The room was quiet and clean with a pleasant decor. One convenient feature was the kitchenette which enabled us to eat breakfast in our room and save calories for lunch and dinner. The hotel is 4 blocks from the White House, two blocks from a... more

The creaky floors, the ancient elevator that required an operator (which, by the way, will be automatic very soon), the decor were just some of the things that made the stay funky/cool. Downside, you can hear everything your neighbors are doing......everything. more

One downside....the outragious... more

The kitchen in the suite isn't really a kitchen. A fridge and a sink do not make a kitchen. But the suite was very clean and comfortable. The bar... more

This hotel is close to the subway, in a nice neighborhood and you can walk to the sight=seeing spots if you want. It is a friendly, older hotel with lots of charm and ambience. We really enjoyed staying here. Such a nice change from the modernistic chains. They even have an elevator operator - yes! a person and they were... more

From the moment we exited the cab, Hotel Lombardy and its staff made us feel like we were at home. The hotel has the final remaining manually operated elevators, complete with operator that whisks you to our floor. The room was spacious and well appointed with big fluffy duvets in the beds and a kitchenette and sitting room in every... more
