    They hold up lower bunk beds for no reason. Lower bunk beds are obviously more comfortable than upper bunk beds. But why keep them empty while piling on people on upper bunk beds. It is a minor thing but I know people feel peeved about it.

    Clean. Great kitchen and breakfast. Good location.

    Nothing really wrong with the property, it can just be difficult to have a good nights sleep when sharing a room with others, but luckily we were only there for one night

    The location was great, good value for money

    Perfect location near the center of DC, breakfast with pancakes and beautiful patio outside the kitchen!! Fully enjoyed my stay there with my friend for one night. I would recommend it if staying in a hostel is something you’re curious about.

    Should include eggs in breakfast.. no shoes policy is little annoying.

    From sheets to toilets everything is very clean. Nice Pancakes coffee & juice in breakfast. Common areas are decorated with giant maps signed by people from all around the world.. neighborhood is very safe nice there is halal Indian restaurant nearby.. it is 15 minutes walk from white house and 20-30 minutes bus ride to other tourist places and union station.

    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.

    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.

    The only thing I didn´t like was the water pressure on the men´s bathroom. It was quite low, so taking shower became a bit difficult

    The hostel is very well located, and the staff very kind and friendly. Definitively made a nice and welcoming environment

    I really liked it, but it could be improved: the breakfast and the fact that the downstairs room has no ventilation or natural light, but both things were good

    I really liked how clean it was, how clear the conditions of the hostel were, good location, security to enter and keep belongings in the place

    weird that the rooms are co-ed. It is uncomfortable for men to share a room with women and vice versa the breakfast wasn't healthy (pancaces). It is better to offer vegtables, fruit and eggs.

    nice staff, the place was clean, nice lounge, dining room and patio

    If someone is staying for more than 3 nights maybe they could have an option to change bedsheets.

    The room I stayed was in the basement, and didn't have natural light. The bathroom was upstairs.

    Excellent location. I think I didn't get a good room, but it seems they have better ones. They have pancakes, jam, peanut butter, tea and coffee for the free breakfast.

    The dorm rooms were co-ed and not locked. Only thing served for breakfast was pancakes, I'm just not a fan of pancakes.

    The door code system felt very secute. Also, it was very clean and that is ALWAYS very appreciated.

    Not the best but good enough to spend a few days during your D.C. visit

    The water in the showers was VERY weak. I stayed there for a few days and it was consistently problematic as far as I can see. Also, there was mold in the showers. It is not too hard to get rid of it so it made me question the cleanliness in general. The breakfast was okay, but the kitchen table was way too small for the all guests. During peak hours there was a queue to get pancakes, find a seat to eat them, and clean your plate to leave.

    I stayed at the 12 people dorm, the bed was okay. It was nice to have lockers and generally felt safe during my stay. Common areas were sufficient to use wifi or socialize. The location was pretty close to the main attractions. The staff was helpful.

    Convenient for a short stay In DC. A bit isolated to landmarks. Discourtesy from staff
    • Leisure trip

    • Bed in 12 bed mixed dormitory room

    The staff was not knowledgeable/ no maps/ no warmth. They were a bit rude offering cancellations if someone wasn't happy with the booking. No explanation why early birds arrivals/ previous communications with the property couldn't have got better bunk beds when available. Shoes-off policy. Noisy and loud staff conversations at late night. Lack of willingness to deal with customers/ no effort to open the indoor door, bordering discourtesy. They changed the door's code without warning. Lack of interest on customers. Overrated.

    I liked the breakfast included (excellent from the restless kitchen ladies). The room has big lockers and the room had its own bathroom with shower/toilet/basin. Ample space to leave big suitcases outside the basement's room. The accessible code external and internal system. Some freebies (bottle openers). Clean facilities, but perhaps not too many for a full capacity hostel. Nice kitchen/ fridge to help customers willing to prepare their own meals.
