The owner Jack has been a hotel before his venture here and he combined the best of both worlds. Charming building, nice renovations updates, nice layouts and nice perks. Fast wifi, full free breakfast, free wine and freshly baked cookies, communal computer/printer/internet, and a/c.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this charming guesthouse. Jack is an extremely friendly and helpful host, baking cookies every day and making sure that all guests feel comfortable. The location is great, close to the Woodley Park metro station and to several good restaurants. We had a spacious room for three persons. The bed was very comfortable, the bathroom... More

The owner is a really nice guy, great atmosphere and neighborhood. After staying at other terrible hotels I realized I should write a comment about the Kalorama (don't usually write these). The metro is close as well as the zoo and adam's morgan. Amazing breakfast! Good wifi. They have a great pod coffee maker and fresh coffee. Recommend jogging in... More

I stayed here instead of the confernce hotel up the road. It was my first B&B stay and I would definitely go back. I was weclomed with the smell of fresh baked cookies and Jack greeting me by name as I walked in the door...something that will never happen at a conference hotel. The place was clean and had all...

Jack, the owner, is very very kind and the facility is gorgeous. The porch, along with the cherry blossom tree, were absolutely stunning. Jack, who is always in a good mood, is willing to do anything he can to make your stay comfortable. You get real fresh eggs in the morning, access to a computer and printer, and a big... More

What an charming, comfortable and convenient place to stay---- only a few blocks to the Metro, to bike rental and the fabulous Zoo. A quick ride, by Metro or bike, and we were on the Mall. The owner, Jack, is warm, available and helpful. I knew we would be well-cared for when we arrived at night to a plate full... More

It is a welcoming place. It has the basic amenities of an average hotel. The bed was very comfortable, the room was a bit cold with no thermostat to control the heat. You should know that there is no TV in the rooms, and no glasses in the bathroom. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The breakfast is very... More

Jack, the owner is friendly & welcoming, making sure we were comfortable & had information on the area. Our room was in the basement, easily accessible by the side entrance. The basement has a bit of a musty smell, but it wasn't overwhelming. Our room was small & the lighting coiuld have been brighter, but the bed was comfortable. We... More

Each stay at the Kalorama Guest House has been equally warm and inviting. Jack is really friendly, accommodating, helpful and makes you feel right at home. The Guest House is very convenient to checking out some sights, restaurants and attending conferences at the Marriott. The metro is about a 10 minute walk away. The neighborhood is very nice and enjoyable... More

Unusual place in the District. Good value, but hard to categorize as a B&B since it lacks a family feeling: Breakfast is laid out, not exactly served—coffee and bagels, fresh but not homey. More like renting a slice of your maiden aunt's meticulous brownstone when she's away. Filled with colorful polished cottons and dark wood antiques (not for tots), each... More
