Katarzyna, United States of America

The breakfast and the location are both good. Friendly staff.

Van, Japan

excellent location, 1 block away from many of the 5 stars hotels & major shopping :) walking distance to all major attractions. During cherry blossom festival, i can take the free bus around the city's major attractions, including the Union stations. The bus stop is just across the street. The neighborhood is very clean and safe. Friendly receptionist, except that 1 black female receptionist working on April 8 morning.

Wilson, United States of America

The bathrooms were better than any other hostel in D. C.

Reinke, United States of America

All staff ware very helpful, common area is good. Various types of people stay here - I saw families and student groups - and they could leverage the huge kitchen/dining area on second floor to throw party which is really nice.

Only 3 toilets and showers for each gender on every floor which means that you’re often queuing for the shower. Lots of construction materials laying around.
Free breakfast, towel provided, bed was comfortable, they have a laundry in the basement, a big kitchen that you can use, free books and a nice dining area. The free tours are brilliant and definitely worth going on. Most of the staff were really friendly and helpful. The location is amazing as it’s a short walk to everything and on a Circulator route. Good value for money overall.

“excellent location, walking distance to all DC attractions.”
- • Leisure trip

- • Single Bed in 10-Bed Female Dormitory Room
- • Stayed 1 night
On April 8 morning, I asked for Am track direction & schedule for the last train, the black female receptionist working that morning said she don't know, and gave a wrong number to me after she checked on Google. I think the the front desk can print a list of frequently ask questions & important train schedule, direction etc on a binder, so that we can easily find the answer. Not all the staffs knew that the DC Circular bus ride is free during the Cherry Blossom Festival, the free bus stop at all major DC monuments. I only learned it from the receptionist Jay, he was very friendly and helpful answering all my question. Another negative is the 4pm check in, and to pay $4 for locker if we arrive early, or just wasting time for 4pm to check in. I don't mind paying for locker after check out, but we should not pay $4 for locker if our flight arrive before 4pm.
