Rooms are numbered but beds aren't no organization I left for a day In New York City and They sold my bed to someone else, I came back to no bed slept in lobby and I was paid for a week and they threw my things on floor, when they properly organize then maybe also they have a lot of grifters in snoring like COWS

Close to everything

The hours of business aren't staffed everyday. They leave people w/ outside after 7,8,9pm and don't answer the phone regardless if they have a reservation. Few people aren't healthy staying in there.

The location wasn't bad.

Stayed in January 2024

No desk person most of the time.

Had a strange person in my room who seemed like he lived there. His stuff all over the room, loud phone in the middle of the night.

The bathrooms were coed, it was very uncomfortable. There was a person who was in the common area in front of the bathroom all night and all morning, and I am not sure why he was allowed to use the whole common area as his room, but Noone was around in the morning or in the evening to ask.

It was a small hostel and relatively clean. We were allowed to be in the same room.

Nobody at the front desk. No working times available with prior notice. I could not enter the place.

Stayed in November 2023

Too little seating in the lounge.

Check-in went well, bathroom was clean shower and soap were available, got fresh sheets for each night.

The hours for the office -- I usually was out before they started and they were gone when I returned. No window in the bedroom felt very stuffy. Please add water to the vending machine. The single sofa in the lobby didn't provide enough space if you wanted to sit outside of your room -- need a lounge with multiple seats.

The location was great -- just a few minutes from the Shaw station was very convenient. The room was comfortable -- I lucked out and got a lower bunk The bathroom was adequate. I would likely stay here again.

Restrooms: The shared restrooms can be quite inconvenient. It would greatly improve the experience if there were separate facilities for females and males, especially since there are already existing two. It could be used as per gender norms. Safety issues: Staying in a room for four can pose security concerns as travelers come and go frequently, even for short stays. It's challenging to ensure the safety of personal belongings in such a setup. Noise: Rooms located near the main lobby are often subjected to disturbances due to loud conversations, phone calls, and meetings among guests. This can be disruptive for those trying to rest or work. Security: During my stay, there was a distressing incident involving two individuals from another room. Late at night, a physical altercation broke out in the lobby, triggered by one person allegedly stealing money from the other. This situation escalated to the point where the police had to be called in after an hour. Rooms: too small to accommodate such number of guests

The location is definitely a strong selling point for affordable accommodation for foreigners, making it a great choice. Additionally, I appreciate that the hostel is well-equipped with amenities such as an ironing stand, lockers, kitchen gadgets, and more.

The shower has no door. The water is cold and takes a while to warmup. there is no hand towels and the toilet doors dont lock securely.

Location is good, but all night there is lots of cars and people parking up with loud music (friday and saturday night stay). Lots of rough sleepers are in the hall ways sleeping on chairs. Room is good but only if you have all 4 bunk beds to yourself. Bathroom can be hit and miss. they clean it once a day! between 12 and 3. when we checked in at 3pm it was fantastic but next morning it was a joke.

Nice neighbourhood

Stayed in August 2023

Good value for money

Stayed in August 2023

It could get very noisy at night and some of the facilities were broken down.

The price, location and staff are really nice! Public transport is very close and the National Mall is a 20 ish minute walk away

Stayed in August 2023

Only one Unisex bathroom has locked door, another one only covered with curtain, that’s not convenient.

Location is good and staff is nice.

Stayed in July 2023

I will say that one of the guys at the front was decent. But a guy I talked to over the phone was the rudest person that I’ve ever experienced in the service industry.

The guy at the front was ok.

Stayed in July 2023

The mattresses were very uncomfortable, the sheets were in tatters, and some of the blankets were very scratchy and uncomfortable. I wished there were separate men's and women's bathrooms, but I definitely appreciated the lock on the door, it made me feel safer. I had to turn on white noise really loud because it was hard to sleep, the street outside my window was super loud whenever cars went by or sirens.

The location was great! Very safe neighborhood, and the hostel had a lot of security. Everything was kept very clean.

Stayed in May 2023

The lack of cleaning of the sheets, the bathroom, and the size of the room and the bedroom

Price and location

Stayed in May 2023

Credit card reader was broken--fortunately I had just barely enough cash to pay for my night. Was woken up at 2 am by someone yelling at the staff because they didn't know where his bag was, and kept awake for a while by someone playing loud music. No windows in the bedroom or kitchen.

Good location close to a metro station. Cheaper than many other DC hostels but still overpriced in my opinion.

Stayed in May 2023

I felt like I was rooming with the staff which prevented me from being with and meeting other people/ guests.

I thought the location was good
