Lock in a great price for HI - Washington, DC Hostel – rated 8.4 by recent guests!

to get started.

Staff was friendly and very helpful, bunk bed mattress was comfortable and A/C was powerful. Bathrooms were clean. Shampoo/Soap provided. Clean blanket and towel provided. Large size locker. Breakfast was good (muffins, toast, cereal, granola/yogurt, tea, coffee.) Location was good - 10 minute walk to the Mall and a few blocks from Chinatown. Plenty of eateries near by and transportation as well. WiFi worked, TV room, Pool room. Complimentary fruit at reception area. The hostel is shabby looking. The walls need to be repainted, carpets need to be shampooed. The place needs to be spruced up.

It is amazing to have some plans to sign up, it is really helpfull to meet people

David, United States of America

I loved the 24 hour open kitchen since I raced a half marathon early in te morning and therefore had to be very flexible in my eating times etc. The staff was very friendly and let me schedule a later check out time in advance so I didn't need to worry about getting a shower and rushing after the race.

Alina, United States of America

Everything. The location, the room and the bed. Breakfast is great and the kitchen is very good (we saved a lot of money by making dinner instead of buying). There are also great tours and events within the hostel.

Omri, United States of America

Breakfast is very good. But it is a bit noisy when the aircon starts. But in general, it is worthy for the money.

He, Australia

Overall great place to stay in the heart of DC- easy to walk to the mall and all the main monuments, museums. Also not too far from a metro stop to get you to the airport, and in walking distance to Union train station. The hostel has great staff, the rooms were comfortable and bathrooms clean. The free breakfast was your normal continental breakfast, but very nice to have. Overall would recommend for DC!

Kisa, United States of America

The stuff was helpful, I could easily store my luggage before and after check in so if you're travelling with more things, it's not a problem here to store it, breakfast was good too

Barbora, Czech Republic

Everything!! Top accomodation great really. I do recommend

Terezia, Slovakia

The staff were friendly and I could see that they were helping other travelers, for example a fellow's credit card didn't work, so they helped find alternative payment method and returned some cash to him that he had previously paid. I traveler lost his key to a padlock and they cut it off and offered to replace the tiny padlock for free. The location is great to sites of interest in Washington, DC museums memorials , etc walking distance to white house and museums. Lockers were ample and it was easy to use a combination lock.

Randall, United States of America

A very good value for money for Washington DC. This hostel is well kept and includes all the facilities that you would expect from a hostel such as toilets and washroom in the same room, free laundry, free breakfast, fully fitted kitchen so you can cook your own meals and 24h reception with security locks on the front door, elevator door and rooms.
