Great location, comfy beds. Toilet was clean.

Community shower has translucent plexiglass door that you can see inside pretty much. No privacy at all. Also the shower head pressure is VERY poor, technically just oozing out of the shower head. Only one of the 3 shower works (ok?), and everybody only queues for that. I would suggest installing a water pump, or splitting outlet source. As current plumbing situation looks like all 3 shower heads share 1 outlet pressure. Also, i paid an incremental upgrade for a bottom bunk bed in a 8-bed room, staff confirmed shes assigned a lower bed when i booked >1mo prior to my stay. But when i arrived, i was given a top bed. But attending staff offered me a lower bed in a 12-bed. So basically i paid for the upgrade but didnt quite stay for it...

I stayed on 3rd floor of nearby building to main building. I was in 6 bed dorm with fan and bathroom. Unfortunately no shower working in that bathroom but 2 more bathrooms with shower available.in hall. Good water pressure and quick to have hot water. Mattress comfortable, sheets and comforter soft and cozy, towels big and fluffy. Grocery store next door and at least 3 popular looking restaurants within 2 blocks. Staff helpful. Let down by lots of easy maintenance not done to fix closet doors in room, fix toggle from bath to shower, fix blinds, fix bunk beds squeaking, putting hooks in bathrooms, etc. Lots of stairs. Nice to have hangers in closet. Pancake breakfast and rooftop lounge area very good. Walked to White House, mall and national monuments, shopping, metro, and other attractions (may be too far to walk for others so uber may be better).

The location is extremely convenient and the cost-quality relationship is pretty good. You can even walk to the main monuments and museums of DC. The facilities are pretty standard for a hostel.

I wouldn't mind if there were more restrooms and the showers aren't private at all, I mean, you can literally watch other people taking a shower because of the glass doors, so if you have a problem with that, maybe you should think twice about your stay in this hostel, that was my biggest issue, otherwise, i would recommend staying in the hostel.

Nice location, everything was clean and it is a home so you feel like at home ;P

Too much people squeezed in one place, the rooms are really packed (you sleep head to head or head to toes) and at night there was little air coming in since there was no window (at least in my room) = it was really hot and dry. The rest was fine

Great atmosphere, good facilities and great staff, the owner made us Xmas dinner, legend.

The showers. The were clean and nice but barely any water came out of them. Only downside to my stay, however showers are very important to me so had to drop down to 9/10

The women's restroom/ shower area was very large and not too busy. I spent all day at the conference center- three blocks away- and only returned to sleep and get ready. I like that they let me keep my luggage in their large luggage room after I checked out.

There did not seem to be a clear "lights out" time. One time, the lights were on until ten-thirty, another time they were out at nine. The mattress could have been better.

Breakfast was very good: they had pancakes and coffee. They have 24hr reception which is very convenient if you're coming and going at odd hours. Location is super close to metro and main attractions.

The person that did my check-in rushed quite a bit and didn't explain half of the things the hostel has. I heard another receptionist the day after and explained quite a lot so it might just be that one person. On other thing is the fact that they give you little pice of paper with the entrance codes. It's super easy to loose it so I would prefer they sent a message on booking or text the code to my phone.

Good place for the price. Location is good with a supermarket just next to the hostel, as well as bus stops and pharmacy. Really good breakfast! Good Wi-Fi. The terrace at the top of the building is also really good with good weather. The kitchen is very functional and well-equipped.

Actually there are few things that can be improved: - no locker for entering the bedroom. It could be very great if they can add a magnetic card to enter the bedroom. - the storage room for suitcases is not closed. - it will be very cool if they can add small curtains around the bed to have a bit of privacy inside the bedroom.

Delighted to discover an inexpensive way of visiting Washington DC, and close to the mall. I came for the People's March but will return in upcoming months to explore the museums there, which I have yearned to do for years. Interesting that you get people from all over the world there, many accents and nationalities. Maybe send out an announcement when bookings are low and we can get bargain rates, as I understand rates vary. (I seem to have been lucky to have gotten this, with many protesters coming to town and space only available at very high rates the very next day.)

Would have been better if the bed frames were rigid and did not squeak. Maybe put a water jug in the toilet rooms, as there is no sink inside. Wasn't sure what to do with camera and wallet while taking a shower.

The location suited me well, as it was close to where I needed to go. The staff was very friendly and helpful, the place was clean, and the internet worked well. Some of the rules seemed a bit strange to me, but overall, it was okay. I stayed for two nights but was only there for a few hours each day. I appreciated having the option to iron my clothes. There is a nice kitchen, a shared space, and a terrace as well.

The AC/fan was very loud, and it was uncomfortably cold since it was located near my head. I think it would be great to have the option to book private rooms there. Breakfast was only available at certain times, but I had to leave earlier. It would be helpful to offer guests an option to have fruits, cereals, yogurts, etc., available at any time in the morning. I had a large, heavy suitcase, and my room was upstairs while the luggage room was downstairs. It was inconvenient to carry it. The staff helped me once, but I had to carry it myself the second time.
