    The property is super cute, cozy with each and every facility available . They have made nice comfy place to sit around in kitchen where all travellers can chit chat and make friends. Hostel is very clean and location is just perfect next to metro bus stop. Staff is very friendly and supportive. Lot of small cafes and resturants available in neighborhood with all type of cuisines. Overall had unforgivable and mesmerizing experience- home away from home.

    It’s not the most comfortable with another person in the room but most of us just keep to ourselves, with the occasion hi bye.

    I really liked the location, the atmosphere brought by the staff there. I’ve been welcomed by Nick, an adorable guy who helped me with my bags and recommended me a lot of places to visit in D.C. I also really loved to talk with him and Finn, another super staff member from New Zealand.

    The water pressure in the shower was weak in my opinion.

    The cleanliness of the hostel room was superb! My bed was bottom one, and lockor was enough to put 23 inch luggage. Also, free laundry was possible and I've never seen a clothes dryer in the hostel. It was nice service. When I enter the hostel, Nick welcomed me in front of the reception. He was kind and gentle, we talked about our common things. If you meet him in front of the desk, he'll greet you warmly!

    Everything was perfect! Cosy and super clean. Many products (hand cream, small hair brush, soap, etc) at disposal. Friendly staff 🙂

    It’s close to the bars so if you not good with noise at night maybe try other location, for me it was completely fine.

    Very good place to stay!! Place is organized. Very nice location. There is everything you need. Very good experience as a solo traveler.

    There is loud music on Friday and Saturday night from all the surrounding bars but I didn't care. I came to have fun so not getting much sleep wasn't an issue.

    This was my first time staying in a hostel and was a little concerned before getting there. From the moment I got inside the location and have been welcomed with a smile by the check in staff, all my concerns went away. The location is not only very pretty, clean and friendly but the common living room is spacious and offers all the amenities one would need on a short stay. The opportunity of making friends was great especially for someone traveling along as myself. Not only did I have a great stay but friended a few good people who stayed at the same location. I will definitely return.

    It’s a bit hard to find the hostel cuz there is no signboard.

    Cozy. Simple. Quiet. Nice value. You could use all the bathroom stuff including a tooth brush you forgot to bring.

    This was honestly one of the cleanest hostels I’ve ever stayed in within the U.S.! The place is spotless, and they offer so many perks like free coffee, tea, laundry, body wash, and even shaving cream. My stay was incredible. Valentina and Tyre were extremely kind and went above and beyond to answer the dozens of questions I had about the area and other topics. It’s worth the price and the experience. Why not give it a try? I’m sure you’ll love it!
