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).

Breakfast and the Coffee and Pancakes were awesome. Nice way to start the day.

You couldn’t lock your room doors. It’s like anyone could walk in your room at anytime which may have bad intentions. Even though they have cameras, it’s still a security concern. They need to do some beautification projects on the exterior in front and back of the property, such as flower pots, paint. The city needs to fix the sidewalk, it’s dangerous. The owner or management should be on that every day with city to be fix immediately. The kid that does the night shift is useless. They need to hire someone who can handle the issues outside with the homeless. He didn’t address it correctly when I reported that one of the homeless was be threatening and coming on the property to try to enter the inside.

Each morning they would prepare a breakfast of Blue berry pancakes in the kitchen. The kitchen and adjacent social areas are not particularly big but they are are cosy and when I was there it was a very cheery hostel. There is a downstairs area as well and a rooftop deck. The place is clean and the bathrooms were good. The hostel is close to the heart of the city and near all major attractions. There is a subway but only needed it for Arlington and one other thing. Staff were good making people feel welcome and keeping the place under control. There is a small super market practically next store and an urban 'Safeway' about 20 minutes walk away, as well as a liquor store a few doors down. It has a decent kitchen. The air conditioning worked well so even in the 12 bed room, it was quite comfortable at night.

There are lockers in each of the rooms but individual rooms are not secured. This wasn't a problem but it mightn't suit some people. The hostel is a bit of a maze, not a real issue, just saying. There are bathrooms on all levels but sometimes it could be a chore to find one.

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.

The location is excellent, conveniently near the Convention Center and within walking distance of major tourist attractions. The staff is friendly, and the breakfast offered is quite satisfactory, featuring pancakes and coffee.

I experienced a guy snoring quite loudly in the bed above mine in the bunk bed (not the hostel's fault, of course). However, keep in mind that this can happen when staying in a 12-bed room. The water pressure in the showers could be improved, but it's reasonable. Additionally, I wish breakfast hours were earlier. Overall, though, this accommodation offers good value for the money.

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

This is a great find! Staff are super friendly and seemed organized, and there are no hidden fees (towels, luggage storage included in price) — plus there was a fabulous breakfast (pancakes) included in the rate as well. The facility was very clean throughout, and the kitchen is well equipped and maintained. Note that shoes need to be taken off by the entrance. General atmosphere was friendly and social (but not crazy/loud). Beds do not have curtains, so bring a sleep mask. There was an outlet next to my mattress and seemed to be one by every bed. There are also lockers in the bedrooms (BYO lock). The beds are on bedrisers, so there’s extra space underneath for storing your stuff 🙌 Wifi was a bit weak but there were desktop computers available in the common area that I assume are hardlined to the network. I was only here for a night and didn’t get to explore the immediate area very much, but it seems like a nice/safe/fun neighborhood to walk around; there were plenty of restaurants etc around. I would definitely stay here again!

Given USA hostel standards this hostel exceeded my expectations. Very clean, plenty of shared space, nice terrace, very cool breakfasts, very good security, multiple sets of free towels, fast wifi.

no privacy in beds, just adding curtains would cost you probably 5$ but it already elevates an experience! Something that hostel has no control over but it feels like there was some sort of kleptomaniac in my room. in 4 days I lost 2 sets of used earplugs, sleeping mask, a pair of underwear and an old hat. all was stored either under the bed or on the bed in the same time nothing valuable was taken even it was also easily accesible. No blame to hostel just quite pity.

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
