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...

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 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.

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

Has a water fountain, clean floor and plenty shower place

reserved a 10 ppl dormitory, but one guy snored so big and the other guy kept his phone super loud without any earphones It is not the Duo’s fault tho Also the stair was super narrow which would barely fit one person, and the shower room so small that I would just fit in.. I wonder how other ppl take shower in there despite the small space and weak water pressure

I really love the people who worked there. They were super nice. The facility is generally clean. I enjoyed having breakfast together with people. The person who was making the breakfast was super kind to me. It's very cost-effective.

There were tiny things that I could complain about. For example, some lights in the shower room were broken, so it was a bit dark. I was looking for a hairdryer and found something mysterious under the sink and a coke bottle. (I don't think you're supposed to look under the sink.) I did eventually get a hairdryer. (The first one I tried didn't work.) Someone's bed creaked a bit loud in my room whenever that person moved. However, all in all, I wouldn't mind these at all, considering the price and the experience.

The hostel is located at a central place that can be accessible by public transport like the Metro or buses. The facilities are good and the staff are quite nice and helpful. Room was comfortable. Kitchen was reasonable.

The common areas are limited, specially in the building in which I was staying. Breakfast started at 8.30am so I could not avail the free breakfast as I had to reach my workplace by 8am. The (4 seater room) was a little small. There was a single washroom on the ground floor for 8 people. It was okay for me as I was an early riser, but 1 washroom between 8 people is a little less.

The location was great, near the centre and next to a supermarket and a liquor store. The code system is handy. The staff is very friendly and the atmosphere it very cozy. Everything was clean and organised. The noise from the social areas never reached the rooms.

The breakfast was good but could use more variety, not everyone wants just pancakes, maybe add a few fruits and vegetables or a gluten free option. Also, the part where the computers are is in an area where people go through to reach the kitchen, rooftop and tables, and the other desk is in the exit area, so theres no area to sit down and work or have a meeting quietly.

Well..Pancakes and coffee for breakfast every day..can't complain there! Of course you can prepare your own food if you have any stored on the shelving provided. Kitchen looked nice as well. Nice big hostel covering many levels from the dorms in the basement to the reception/lounge area and showering/laundry facilities on the ground floor, the dorms on the level above and the kitchen, lounge (complete with computers for guests to use) and balcony on the top floor. Decent communal vibe in general. I got to chat to various guests from around the world. A good, sociable atmosphere is one of the marks of a good hostel, but I suppose that depends on who the guests are. The staff I spoke to were cheerful enough, they seem to have a good team vibe. About a 20 minute walk to the city centre or "Downtown". As for nearby, there is a fantastic Mexican restaurant next door, a supermarket offering plenty of choices next door to that and there is a bar a few doors down in the other direction offering..recreational smoking...if that's your thing. Don't worry, it's legal here!

A couple of minor maintenance issues which were already communicated to the staff by other guests. That's about it.
