First off, the location is a perfect 10/10. I stayed in a dorm room with three bunk beds. The bed itself was comfy, with a small but bright enough reading light and two handy little wooden shelves. There are power outlets for plugging in your devices. Each bunk has a curtain all the way around, which really gives you privacy in your own space. It also has two pretty roomy lockers. The staff are super attentive and friendly. The hostel has absolutely everything you could need: towels, soap, shampoo, toothbrushes, toothpaste, earplugs, razors, combs, moisturizer, toilet paper, and even face masks. The kitchen is really well-equipped, and the common room is so cozy. You can access both the rooms and the main door using the same key card. So, all in all, I'm completely satisfied and really happy I chose HighRoad.

I don't think three bathrooms cut it.

No breakfast was offered. I had my own staffs & cook for my self. However, the general atmosphere & the working staff were really nice & helpful.

Poor communication with the HighRoad directly before my arrival. It was a struggle. The rooms are clearly narrower than photos on the booking app. It would be preferable if they also offer like a credit for uber or bus transportation if needed. Also, although the location is central & reachable within DC, a lot of noisefrom the surrounding coffee shops was a source of madness for me & roommates, too

• free toiletries. toothbrushes, soap, toothpaste, pads, tampons, all travel sized too. really convenient and really useful. theyre dotted around in little stations so you dont have to go all the way to the desk to get something • beds are wide and long. lots of personal space • something ive never seen before, theres a pad at the head of the bed. like a headboard. so you can comfortably sit up in bed !! awesome • so much shelf space in the bed WOW two long and deep shelves • personal lamp • coloured LED strip lights with remote • 2 huge lockers !!!! with a rail and 2 hooks inside • plenty of shelf space in the shower • 5 hooks in each bathroom • a couple bus stops nearby • close to a safeway, 7/11, and cvs • stairs up to the bed had glow in the dark strips so you could see where you were going at night without turning the light on • the curtain didnt have metal on it i cant think how to describe it but the way the curtain was attached to the pole was just fabric so drawing it was completely silent • stairs up to the bed rather than a ladder • rooms were spacious. i stayed in a similar sized room the week before that had 8 beds in it, but my room in this hostel only had 3 everything was perfect and it went above my expectations. i still cant get over the free pads and tampons, such a lifesaver as i needed some but i didnt want to buy an entire pack, i only needed a couple. theyre good pads too, not the thin pathetic ones. staff were lovely. thankyou

• there were only 2 bathrooms in our hallway, despite this i only had to wait to use the bathroom one time, but thats because i got up to shower at about 7am each day. they got busy at around 10am • our room faced a busy street full of bars. late at night, you could hear music and general noise from this street. personally it didnt bother me because i actually like a bit of noise but if you cant sleep through that then its something to note. i could hear music on saturday, sunday, and monday night but on tuesday night it was silent these are very nitpicky points, i struggled to find any fault with this property

Loved the location and the coziness of the place. Right in the middle of everything in the neighborhood with lots of recommendations. Staff was super friendly, coffee available 24/7 is nice, and room w the loft was small but comfy for 3 of us. We weren't in our room too much so that wasn't a big deal. Wi-Fi fast, great common areas. If you're looking for a unique place to stay, this is it!

Bumped my shins on things because the room was close quarters, but that's on me. Loft stairs are steep! About 10-15 min walk to the Metro. Mostly this is FYI, it didn't bother me at all. I had a great stay!

It was very clean and quiet. I loved that all the toiletries were unscented; the shower was wonderful; and having lots of hooks around the room made it very easy to hang up clothes & backpack. Despite being small, there was plenty of room to move around. It was super helpful to have a suitcase stand, so I didn't have to get down on the floor to get things out of my suitcase. The kitchen downstairs had a refrigerator, hot water, cups and tea/coffee. There were extra toiletries if needed. I arrived late in the evening and Karishma made me feel very welcome; she continued to be helpful, kind over the next few days. Having a personal connection with someone like Karishma was exactly the reason for my being in a small place and not a big, cold, corporate type of hotel.

Nothing.

I like the place is very clean and the quite hour. The stuffs are very helpful and friendly which make it nice for someone who have never been DC. before.

What I don't like is the bathroom facilities, first is the shower head and the water not powerful enough which make the shower time longer because the water is so slow which can't take a quick shower because is not clean. As we have six people stay in one room which will slow down everyone. I suggest change the shower head. Second, the toilet cannot flush because the hander fall off and I have to fix it in order to flush the toilet. Please permanently fix it. I stay in room 223.

This hostel has both group and individual rooms. I find hostels are a great way to travel because of all of the interesting people you meet from around the world. I was in Washington, DC for the funeral of president Jimmy Carter and there were many other people staying at the hostel for the same reason. Conversations late into the night were fun and meaningful. The Thursday Night free beer happy hour was great. Fun to share a beer with an international room full of guests.

The location and price were the reasons I chose the location, but after going I realized that the great people I met and the clean and inviting group spaces were the true treasure.

I love this place. Nice staff. Interesting international travelers to share meals. Lovely coffee and tea in the lobby. Free happy hour on Thursdays. Great restaurants nearby, ramen, pizza, Ethiopian, Korean, sushi Van Leuwen ice cream etc Convenient for walking and mass transit. I get a private room when I stay here and the private bathroom is renovated and nice! TV in the room. It's a lively area where you will hear jazz in the evening. They have toothbrush, toothpaste, and a few other amenities available free. Extra towels are available on the hall. It's very well designed, the experience feels thoughtful. I stay often for work.

Honestly no complaints.

Bus number 90 goes from the bus terminal to the hotel, transportation is very easy, there are many restaurants and cafes, entertainment centers, the hotel is very decent, clean, its facilities are good, all kinds of drinks are free all day, the beds are very comfortable, there were private bathrooms, there are brochures with guides for tourists. The staff was extraordinarily good, especially Rana and Kay, they were very interested in me, their conversations were good, Rana showed me around the hotel and showed how to use the washing machine I thank her very much

Nothing

My room, while on the small side, had everything I needed and was super clean. The bunk bed and pillow were very comfortable. I was traveling alone so no one was on the top bunk. The shower was great with plenty of hot water. I appreciated that there was a chair in the room and a table. The tea and coffee offered downstairs were also appreciated. The room also had a good TV. Bus service to the hotel/hostel was very good from downtown and runs all night. I came in late from a hockey game and had no problems taking a bus. The hotel is a good value for anyone wishing to stay in DC.
