5 out of 5A Great Stay
November 02, 2011
We thoroughly enjoyed our 4 night stay at the Embassy Circle Guest House last week. Our hosts, owner/operators Laura & Raymond, did a fabulous job remodeling the property and they are first rate operators. The staff was exceedingly pleasant and extremely helpful. Breakfast was very good and Laura ensures that there is lively conversation around the breakfast table. Wine and hors d'oeuvres were served in the evening. The B&B is located 3 1/2 blocks from the Dupont Circle Metro Station ... the Metro is the way to go in DC. The neighborhood is home to the embassies of dozens of foreign countries and we felt safe as we walked to and from dinner in the evening. While most of the other guests were tourists, including guests from the U.S., Europe & Australia, there were several business people who chose to stay at Embassy Circle as well. Our room (#121) was on the 2nd floor. The room was pretty large (for a B&B), beautifully appointed, it had a comfortable bed and it was very clean and very quiet. A luggage elevator made it easy to get in and out. Not sure what else we could have asked for. Embassy Circle Guest House exceeded our expectations and has our highest recommendation. We'll be back!
5 out of 5A wonderful weekend
October 31, 2011
My husband and I had never considered staying in a bed and breakfast until someone gave us a gift card for our wedding. After reading endless reviews we decided to stay at the Embassy Circle Guest House and were not disappointed. From the moment we arrived Laura and Raymond made us feel like a member of their family and no detail was overlooked. The breakfasts were amazing, there was an excellent supply of reading material and board games to get us through the bad weather, and our room was beautiful and comfortable. Laura and Raymond did a wonderful job of introducing the guests and keeping conversations going during evening drinks and breakfast. Raymond went above and beyond when he provided us with a ride to the museum. We had such a wonderful experience that we are already planning our next trip. Thank you Laura and Raymond!

We loved our 3 night stay at the Embassy Circle Guest House. Great ambience, good food, wonderful conversations, and all of it was just steps away from the D.C. sights. The wine and snacks before heading out for the evening were the perfect way to unwind, and we were lucky enough to have some of Raymond's great party food, too. I will recommend this place to all my friends and relatives who are going to D.C. Thanks Laura and Raymond for a wonderful experience!

Laura and Raymond and their wonderful staff keep a delightful, friendly, ever helpful and welcoming Guest House which I will certainly stay at again any time I visit DC.
5 out of 5Quiet Beauty
August 11, 2011
I always believed that perfection could only be obtained in poetry, art, and music, but the Embassy Circle Guest House changed my mind. In ways great and small, this lovely guest house achieves perfection. Raymond and Laura manage this by attending to detail and by genuinely caring about the welfare of each guest. In fact, I shouldn't even say "guest." I was treated like one of the family -- as was everyone else. The rooms are tasteful and well designed -- and quiet. The common area is the living room most of us just dream of having. And all this nestled among the row of embassies, just a few minutes away from Dupont Circle. Perfect.

August 04, 2011
A masterful renovation preserving key architectural features from the turn of the century, make this B&B truly outstanding, and a blessing to their community. I stayed 5 nights in late July attending a conference and daily walked to Dupont Circle metro while taking in the georgeous Embassies from around the world and the multitude of excellent restaurants for Dinner. The Innkeepers are truly interested in their guests and pay attention to all details to assure highest quality is maintained. You must stay here.
4.8 out of 5Our Best B&B Experience Ever!
July 20, 2011
Visiting Washington DC to see all the famous landmarks and exhibitions was a long-held item on our wish list. Everything we saw and did lived up to our expectations and yet we will remember Laura and Raymond long after the memories of those sites have faded. Their warmth, hospitality and level of service, and that their employees Angela and Betty, truly set this holiday apart from the extensive travelling we have done in the past. The guest house is beautiful, well-maintained and clean. Our room was perfect and the bed super comfortable. The Dupont Circle area is a perfect jumping off point for sightseeing. We walked almost everywhere and when we did use it, the Metro was convenient and very reasonable. The breakfasts were very good with a variety of fresh food to interest a wide range of tastes. The only disappointment was that we missed Raymond's hors d'oeuvres the night of the photo shoot! Our favourite times at the guesthouse were those gathered around the diningroom table for breakfast and in the livingroom for a glass (or more) of wine. We fully enjoyed learning about our hosts and fellow guests, and understanding their different points of view and experiences on a variety of topics. If you are looking for a fabulous place to stay in DC, we highly recommend Embassy Circle Guest House!
