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

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.

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.

This was my first time staying in a hostel, and it turned out to be a very positive experience. The location is fantastic—right in downtown Washington, D.C., just a 12-minute walk to the White House and about 10 minutes from the LAZ Parking garage we used (1100 New York Ave Garage, $15 for 24 hours). I stayed in a 12-bed dorm and was pleasantly surprised by how comfortable the mattress was. I used earplugs and an eye mask, and despite someone snoring, I slept really well. You’re asked to take your shoes off before entering the house, which keeps everything clean and cozy. The showers were clean, and male and female facilities are separate. There’s also a TV room, though we didn’t use it as we were mostly just sleeping and heading out. The kitchen on the 3rd floor was well-equipped—we brought our own matcha and made it there in the morning. Free tea and coffee are available, and pancakes are served daily from 8:30–10:00 am (included in the rate). They looked great, but we chose a savory breakfast instead. We walked to the Capitol and White House in the evening and drove to the zoo the next morning. Overall, a great introduction to hostel stays—clean, convenient, and a good value.

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.
